Rome circa 200 B.C. - Luna circa 2100 A.D. Tokens of the past were burned and melted down into the next present. When a young Republic defeated Tarquin, last king of Rome, and his Latin League, they made new coins in honor of the Moon Goddess. The new coins of the Roman Republic were marked by Luna on a chariot with 2 horses, or in her other aspect, Diana on a Chariot with 2 stags, as the patron goddess of charioteers. Her status befitted one of the oldest revered deities, rivaled only by her...

Luna The Moon was many things to man since the dawn of consciousness. We bathed for thousands of years in moonlight at night. It stirred something sleeping inside us. It was a companion at night, with a never-ending cycle. It was born, lived and died. At first, humanity believed the brightest light in the evening was a goddess, who was not one but many things. She lived a cycle of endless birth, death and rebirth, maiden, mother, crone. The 3 Fates, the Spinner, Measurer, and Cutter. A deity ...

“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.” - William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1793) What do we do when we feel as if we can create almost anything with our minds? We create, for as long as that feeling takes us. What if that feeling is infinity itself? These are the words that came out in a moment when I felt it:You've got that loving fee...

There is no eternal dark side to the brightest light in the evening sky of Earth. There is no dark side of the moon. The closest endless night is in ancient pockets, billions of years old. At the moon’s poles, the bottoms of deep craters have been in darkness for over 2 billion years. The rest of this airless desert has known the sun with daylight that lasts for half a month. There is no dark side so much as a side we have never seen. In a slow dance that lasts shy of 28 days, the moon orbits...

The power to bring light to the darkness is the most ancient power of gods and men. The centuries passed, empires rose and fell but the old gods remained, remembered by new names, just as Artemis was also Diana, Selene, Luna, and Hecate. Hecate, or Hekate, meaning “worker from afar”, is one of her most ancient forms. The ancients rendered images of a goddess who wore hunting boots and held twin torches. She was more than Artemis of the Golden Arrows, and in this earlier form, she carried fire...

Luna Artemis, Diana, Selene, the three form goddess was a huntress, her lodge was the brightest light in the evening sky. The light of the moon was bright enough for her Olympian eyes to hunt. As everyone slept, lost in dreams, a hunter found her quarry. Were she to have a sigil, it would have been bow, quiver, arrows, and sacred deer. Brazen Agamemnon Atriedes dared sacrifice one of the goddess’ untouchable deer. As punishment for the arrogance of House Atriedes, the huntress stilled the win...

LUNA, Aitken Basin, Southern Region We made it into the anteroom, the hatch sealed, the chamber pressurized. Our suits blinked green. Air. Then a voice: I'm almost flattered you all came, up the well to see me. I can see it all over you, You're "Langley". And you, you're "Quantico". "You're Special Forces." In the end, you're all "The Cooperative", vassals and pawns, in its service. For thousands of years, we bathed in moonlight at night, reached for what was untoucha...

The rhythm of a world turned from harvesting the wild to harvesting crops. There was still the hunt and the foraging but something changed. They changed. They began with fire to protect life, and now they made fields to feed life. The turning of the seasons including the gathering of what was grown. The light of the moon was brilliant enough when summer fell into autumn that more crops could be harvested as dusk became evening. A greater harvest was greater prosperity, more life. They counted...

L'Atelier de Memoire/ Simalcrum Miami-Marseille/ Grey Verse The Artist wandered through the studio's complete exhibit of the Ledger, his very sentience permeated throughout all its rooms.

I'm sorry for what happened but it wasn't for nothing. We have to transfer the most important parts of me,...
