Picture of the Day: “Midrash”
“Midrash” literally means a Homily or Sermon: it is also one of the many names of Metatron, thus representing his(?) role as Heavenly Storyteller.
Incidentally, Google Imagen 3.0 is great for prompt adherence, making it easier to create Telesmatic images. (I had to finish off the Halo and add the text and sigil using Photoshop).

Death
A black hole, due to its inescapable gravity, is “death” to all matter which passes beyond its event horizon. Coincidentally, the black hole at the centre of this galaxy, otherwise known as Sagittarius A*, just so happens to be in the part of the sky to which the Golden Dawn attributes the Tarot Key “Death” (i.e. in terms of the “Tree of Life Projected in a Sphere” teaching of which I have spoken in the past). However, given that Black Holes leak “Hawking Radiation,” it would appear that Death is Not The End after all…

Small Prophets
Like A Dark Song, “Small Prophets” takes tremendous liberties with its subject matter, i.e. Alchemy. Also like that infamous film, no-one would be able to practice Alchemy properly after watching it. Also like the film, Small Prophets has the power to raise public consciousness about Alchemy, as in people are talking about it now, whereas before they weren’t talking about it at all.
However: the most important difference is that Mackenzie Crook plays Small Prophets as a comedy. And successfully too. It has genuinely laugh out loud moments too, e.g. when the two main characters have to stage a Hermetic ceremony, but take unconventional steps to acquire the necessary regalia. As a member of various secret societies myself, I felt this most of all, although no-one I know has gone as far in real life as this pair of characters.
This got me thinking – what if Liam Gavin, the director of A Dark Song, had actually tried to incorporate humour into his own film???
Small Prophets is available to stream via BBC iPlayer. I do not know if or where A Dark Song is available to stream, and I don’t care either.
