https://spore.social/@minouette/113589161837785806 minouette@spore.social - Bonus #ArtAdventCalendar: The first in my series of somewhat darker holiday folklore: my linocut Yule Cat, Jólakötturinn of Iceland, a gigantic monster cat looming over a tiny cabin, with a wreath on the door, in a snowy, nighttime woodland scene.

The first written accounts of Jólakötturinn, enforcer of good behaviour leading up to Christmas, date to the 19th century but the stories of the monster cat likely date 🧵

In the quiet village of Shingo in northern Japan, there exists a surprising local #legend that claims Jesus Christ did not die on the cross in Jerusalem, but instead lived out his final years there. According to this tale, Jesus escaped crucifixion, fled to Japan, and settled in Shingo, where he became a rice farmer, married, and had children. A modest grave, known as the "Tomb of Christ," marks the spot where he is said to be buried. The legend, though far from mainstream, is celebrated annually in Shingo, where curious visitors come to see this unusual take on one of history's most famous figures. ✝️ https://activite-paranormale.net/video/read/557/the-village-in-japan-where-they-believe-jesus-died

"Rock & Roll"

I saw and heard him perform this song live at the NY Academy of Music a few eons ago.
I was reminded of Lou Reed by this lovely artwork I've just seen (thank you Joao)

I don't even remember so much of the show as I do the years of re-listening to this specific song, with a good set of speakers or phones, so it might sound like what I experienced in the great acoustical theater (where I worked for a long time). Anyway, like some of the Jimi Hendrix riffs which sent shivers down my spine (thinking Paligap, Red House - songs by request, miss you VTE ...

This rif in the middle just took my breath away, still does after all these dazel.... But listen to the whole thing first, maybe.

An all-time rock guitar riff, beginning 4:11

The Devil's Trill Sonata, also known as "Sonata in G minor for Violin, Op. 1, No. 4, B.G5", is a remarkable composition by the renowned Italian composer and violinist Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770). This iconic piece, considered one of the most demanding in the violin repertoire, has gained worldwide renown not only for its technical complexity but also for the fascinating story that surrounds it. #satanism #music #legend https://activite-paranormale.net/news/read/18883/tartini-s-sonata-a-work-inspired-by-satan
