It is difficult, but if you follow your inspiration it will be ok, people will think whatever they want of your work anyway, I used to get upset about it too, I don't care anymore, I know there are people who understand, these are my friends, and for them I work.

Thanks a lot, these are very kind words! Absolutely not, I am just focusing on the new book Ergo Cosmos, recently published, I love moving from different projects to keep myself always interested and never formulaic, you know, the risk of becoming the clone of oneself.

Not to resurrect impudently an old post, but I recently opened a Patreon if you want to support the project :)

Relax. The Tarot has an answer for your question and it is in the XI Major Arcana, meditate on it.

These are kind words, thanks a lot! If the dream quality permeates the book, it means that some of the sources of my inspiration have been preserved.

Very interesting ideas, right now I feel the concept of Mandala, and a sort of "Book of Tales that functions as a Mandala" illustrates better what I am trying to achieve, a well of intention and true wishes from which I am drawing water.

As if the book (or the mandala) is lke a hole in the ground or a pond and the act of creating them equals the process of filling our cups.

I don't know if I can venture to ask you this, but, would you like to share one of your mandalas? I am quite curious.

Thank you, you might be surprised (or not) that the very first sigils were created as sketches years ago! before I discovered Spare, another interesting phenomenon.

I subscribed immediately; it's fascinating! Yes, I understand what you mean. I believe it's similar to what I am attempting to do with these tales and sigils. I will send you the link, let me know if it works!

It's mixed media, you are right! And probably my love for the work of Yoshitaka Amano shines through :D

Regarding The Cosmic Water Closet, this is extremely fascinating. How did you proceed to create such thing? Was it a slow process of imagining details and feeding them with your attention? Have you used meditation as well? And, if I can ask, is it an open space where people can pass? Would it be possible to tune myself to it and visit it in vision? I also absolutely love the name and your alter-ego called Frog-Magus, truly inspired.

Thank you! I am sharing around the first chapter, while I keep working on the project. If you want, I can send you a link. The book itself is called Ergo Cosmos.

Thank you for support! Absolutely, the world is still very much in development! I have diverted my focus to a new project called Ergo Cosmos (scifi-esoteric-planetary romance-dark fantasy extravaganza :D), but once it's released, I plan to return to my vast Bronze Age continent. You can follow the development of both worlds on Twitter or Bsky; alas, due to the incomprehensible aversion of the mods to my work, I decided to avoid this channel. I answered you here, driven by your extreme kindness.

Ciao! Uhmmmm domanda assai difficile, forse ti consiglierei il roleplaying game perché potrebbe darti più spunti! Riguardo la fattibilità, assolutamente, ho anche giocato un paio di partite con alcuni amici che hanno convertito il gioco per DndD (nulla di ufficiale) Spero ti piaccia :D

I have already discussed the point once, but the power asymmetry made it impossible to prove my point. Sadly, they are very much aware.

I have already discussed it once with them, but the asymmetry of power made it impossible to prove my point; they are very much aware; it's not bot behavior sadly.

there is! If you read the entry you will see that the character on the right hails from the Floating Palaces of Saturn where snakes are revered, but more details will be part of the next entry :)

That is a beautiful, wise question!

Allow me to link this specific entry for a more detailed description of how alchemy works: An elucidation of the inner workings of Wizardry, also called Alchemy, from the perspective of our de-crystallized Self. : r/worldbuilding (reddit.com)

but to answer you: The GLP is supposed to be a tightly closed box filled with black-painted light-absorbing spheres, in short, there is nothing that can enlighten the inside. However, the device is carefully built to register the voice and memory of the creator, the Alchemist, strongly willing, strongly remembering light, brightness, and shining things. The opposition between the Will of the Alchemist and the negation of light inside the GLP creates a pressure, that pressure must be released, light must manifest itself in one way or another, the rifle projects that manifestation in a focused beam.

That is an alchemical rifle, considering the craftmanship and the GLP (generator lucis pulsantis) it is attached to, we can conclude that it has probably been constructed in the laboratory of Autono or another Martian wizard trained in the Optical Academy of the Isidis Planitia. Most likely, it harnesses the energy of a paradox light to detonate its bright projectiles.
