There is the Blood Pool, dyed a dark crimson by the iron and other minerals, through which the spirits of mothers who die in childbirth travel. Also, in the same area, are the piles of stones left by the spirits of dead children in sai no kawara, or the "banks of extinction". Because they couldn't accept their dharma, or, in some myths, because of the pain their deaths inflict upon their parents, they are consigned to Hell and left stacking rocks in the hopes of climbing out of limbo. Of course, watchful demons destroy the piles before the souls can escape, and the children are trapped forever. If you ever make it to Japan again, you MUST visit; it's like being on the moon, if it were inside out and in Hell. Oh, Knoedlein, Osore-zan is unparalleled.

I am also immediately obsessed by that incredible image of Maria Germanova! Wow. I see what you mean- my eyes almost fell out of my head when I saw her.. I love those polyvore outfits! How cool- maybe you should dress me everyday! I hope I can inspire more- because they are definitely inspiring to me.. Sigh, if only we could have all those gorgeous bits of frippery! Oh and, Valerie and her Week of Wonders is one of my all time favorite films- I own a copy (thanks to Chad of http://monpetitfantome.blogspot.com/) and the book and soundtrack as well. It is so amazing. VALERIE: I adore the Museum of Jurassic Technology! A friend of mine is a founding member, and he's told me so many fantastic stories.. Have you been to the Museum of Natural and Artificial Ephemerata yet? You must! Human horns, Wunderkammers, and liminal states- YES! ODETTE ODILE: Thank you for these wonderful links! I'm drooling! I adored John Crowley's Little, Big- such a great book.. I'm giving Tarot reading again, by appointment- and soon hope to be teaching a class! Come down to Texas for it! GHOUL NEXT DOOR:

This is the area of the internet universe I've been searching for. You are a marvelous creature and I look forward to many more or your musings, insights and magic. You are very inspiring!

I'm not really sure. But I realize that you probably know almost nothing about me.. and well you asked... I am something of a mad scientist from a bygone era, but who sadly has succumbed to the pressures of modern day society. I still get to run about in my black suit, white shirt, black tie and fedora upon occasion, but probably with a little less magic then I used to. If you meet Abby in Austin I'm sure she could elaborate. Either way, I keep reading the Gazette for, quite simply, the magical things you find and, to my eyes at least, the magical world you live in. Frankly I'm jealous, but maybe someday I'll make my way back to the gypsies and kitsune. Until then, I appreciate the reminders of that world. Hi Angeliska

I think I stumbled across your lovely livejournal through Lord Whimsy a few years ago and it has been a source of delight and wonder for me ever since. You've been through such a lot and yet have a profoundly optimistic and celebratory attitude to life. You see and frame the world in such an enchanting, strange and poetic way that it has helped me to find the magic in my own life. I find you a huge inspiration and I always smile when I see you've posted a new installment. Just getting a glimpse of your universe is very special. Sorry to sound all schmaltzy!! To introduce myself, I'm just a wee tap dancing, spoon collecting, cat lady, tea-party hostess from Scotland. Hello there!

I found you a few weeks ago via Lady Lavona, I think. I love your mix of 20s allure and girl-run-with-the-circus, your talent for finding wonders of all kinds (that article about Japan mediums! the fox wedding! the dreams!), the creativity and magic that permeates all your posts. Of course I also have a fondness for antique rhinestones and gilded eyelids (or nails, in my case). An advice column? Why not ? Maybe you could give us tips on how to organize Gadjo Disko-like extravaganzas... Hello! I found you a few weeks ago via Lady Lavona, I think.

I am so glad that you are enjoying that Modern Classical mix - do you know that once I finished the very first listen, I went and purchased (!!) every album on that list? It was just that compelling :) Re: what is blowing my skirt up lately - this wonderful image:http://ghoulnextdoor.tumblr.com/post/173102897 A little backstory - I originally saw a tiny icon of just the face of this woman on netflix, it belonged to someone whose tastes coincide with mine, and it fascinated me from the start. ( I am afraid I snagged that tiny image for myself and have been using it ever since. Luckily my internet hangouts are few, because I think having the same icon as someone else is a bit of a faux-pas!) I have been searching and searching for the source of this beloved lady for 2 years, and I found her last Friday...she is Maria Germanova of the Moscow Arts Theatre, and that costumed image is from the play the Bluebird of Happiness. Here is a full-body link:http://ghoulnextdoor.tumblr.com/post/173218669 She inspired me to created a lovely outfit around her: http://www.polyvore.com/be_good_shall_eat_you/set?id=11647224 As a matter of fact, you've inspired a few outfits as well! http://www.polyvore.com/wouldnt_you_like_to_get/set?id=11665750 http://www.polyvore.com/great_god_pan_is_dead/set?id=11591120 http://www.polyvore.com/night_is_very_large_full/set?id=11418861 Lastly: have you seen Valerie and her Week of Wonders?
