Receiver of wounding visions, gazer on blinding light.
speculum-mundi-incognito.com is my website. Here, I have posted a few pieces of ornamented/ illustrated writing and a few songs I've done. Summaries of the written pieces are contained in the blogs here.
When I write, I leave my body. Or perhaps more appropriately, my body is occupied. This Invading Writer, to whom I give myself freely, is told secrets by stones and observes songs in the patterns of fallen branches. He believes very seriously that there is an actual speech/text inherent in a given thing, and that if it can be found, you can employ that thing's power in the world, or change the thing you've learned to describe. He therefore sees writing not so much as an external description, but as an act of discovery of a heretofore unknown thing, like isolating morphine from a poppy. Invisible without this act of inquiry, but always there.
Should this ever be accomplished to a great extent, I suppose he will have become a sort of a god, and I will be his typically inadequate prophet. (You should probably feel like I have crossed some essential line of good taste and self restraint in making this last statement).
In any case, the other me is left with the self-conscious task of sorting through his endless stream of text and deciding what to put on the website.
It may be of interest to view the Blood Seeks Blood profile below, where a few pieces of ritual music I made can be found.
