This seventeenth-century engraving of #Jesus-Christ wearing a #crown of #thorns is titled "

#One with a #single #line.

Indeed, what from a distance resembles an ordinary drawing is, up close, an image created with a single line that #spirals in a #spiral. All details of the #face and the transitions of #light and #shadow are created by the thickening of this line.

The author is French artist #ClaudeMellan.

For the artist's contemporaries, his method of engraving remained a mystery, and no one has been able to repeat it.

Rose Red #poem #thorns

I am prickly, admittedly.
I come by it rightly.
Organically evolved defensive weapon
(note, no offensive weapon attached).
You must approach me with care.
Feel the velvet of my vibrant leaves, gently.
My flower, radiant in grace and wonder.
Musical poetry wafting, my enchanted perfume
calling for the discerning touch.
But grasp too hard, too clumsily,
without reflection, a thousand tiny cuts
push you far away.
In no time, you will heal,
leaving me to bleed forever,
attempting to clear from my system
your poisonous residue.

It’s said that #passionflower got its name because its corona resembles the crown of thorns worn by #JesusChrist during the #crucifixion. It symbolizes #Christ’s suffering on the #cross. It is more commonly known as the #crown #of #thorns.
This flower also resembles a #rakhi which is worn on the wrist of every brother on #Raksha #Bandhan festival all over India as the symbol of a #sister’s #love for her #brother.

Medicinal Applications :

Passionflower is used traditionally as a #calming #herb for #anxiety, #insomnia, #seizures, and #hysteria.

A decoction of passion flower has been successfully used in #bronchial #asthma.

Early research indicated that an extract of passion flower was effective against the disturbance of #menopause.

Podcast with Snorre Ruch of Thorns

Ep. #31: Snorre Ruch (Thorns)

Snorre Ruch (Thorns) and Thomas Eriksen (Mork) posing very metal-like in front of music studio gear.

Number 31 is around! And this has to be the most special one to date! As I have been told that Snorre Ruch never has done an in depth or long form interview before. That makes this episode and my podcast earth-shattering and ground-breaking! Haha, overkill? I think not! It was a great experience to visit Snorre, to listen to unreleased gems of music and to get to know this important character and innovator of Black Metal and art in itself. Join Snorre Ruch, Marius Vold, Harald Eilertsen and myself on the journey through the history of THORNS! For the FIRST time EVER!

This is the podcast episode we did some time ago when visiting Snorre and had a trip down the memory lane about Thorns and how all this mess got started. Haven't listened through it myself yet, but we had a good time when doing the episode at least.

Enjoy!
