A member of the Folklore Society since 1900, Lovett had one very unusual obsession: once off work, he would spend his free time strolling through the slums of Edwardian London to collect evidence of magic and medicinal practices, vernacular beliefs that the century of industrialization and rational sciences hadn’t eliminated. From his urban explorations, conversation with street sellers, sailors, and working classes witches, Lovett accumulated an astonishing array of charms, an incredible collection of odds and ends that proved superstitions were an invisible, yet persistent, practice, even in modern England.</span></p> <p>Read more about the magic relics of modern England <a href="http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/morbid-monday-mummified-charms-and-amulets-from-the-lovett-collection" target="_blank">here !</a></p> </blockquote>http://lucifermorningstar.tumblr.com/post/49822385097http://lucifermorningstar.tumblr.com/post/49822385097Mon, 06 May 2013 18:55:12 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5748b8cd73f61111446b67e4beb6b745/tumblr_mmdwu3VDMl1qznslko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Last night I dreamed of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Hill" target="_blank">Helen Hill</a></p> <p>I’m walking in New Orleans to Helen Hill and Paul’s house. The house looks a bit like the one in Mid City, but it’s on a corner and I can see, as soon as I get closer up, that the gate is open and that some of the chickens have already run out, though there are still a good number of them inside. They seem not to have realized that the fence was open. Notably through the fence, while I’m in the yard, I see some of the escaped chickens running around: a black and white one, a rooster, and a momma and baby which are both white and are both wearing little pink hats. The momma and baby with the pink hats are running around pretty fast and there’s no way I can catch them.</p> <p><span>I’m in the yard in a panic, and I’m yelling for Helen to come help me, because her chickens are running lose and I don’t know how to deal with them. I yell for her a few times and it’s only when Paul comes to the door looking distraught that I remember that Helen is dead, that she died what might be called a long time ago by some people, but it still feels too painfully immediate for me.</span></p> <p>Paul lets me in the backdoor and I’m in the kitchen, which looks like their Mid City kitchen exactly, but the left and right side are reversed. All of the cabinets are on the other side of the house. I talk to Paul about the chickens, and apologize for waking him up. I ask him if he’s still working at a community clinic. Paul tells me that it’s Helen’s birthday.</p> <p>I tell him that I’m so sorry that she died, and that I can never put my head around it.</p> <p>(Note: Helen and Paul were a bit older than me. When we met I was in my early twenties, still wild and angsty. I didn’t have any older friends that were as warm and friendly, but also into the same kind of far left politics. Also Helen was a working artist, and they were married. I didn’t have any married friends before I met them.</p> <p>I ended up taking her film classes at the New Orleans film collective. I would see them pretty regularly and come over for visits. On one remarkable occasion, while my friend Thomas was housesitting, we watched Helen’s collection of Eastern European animation. In the end, after the hurricane, everyone got all spread out. It was impossible for me to stay in touch since I hardly knew what I had moved to somewhere absolutely new to me, and hardly knew what I was doing.)</p> <p>I told Paul that I couldn’t understand it. That I had expected Helen to still be around, to always be around. Then I said that we live in a culture where expressive freedom comes with punishment, and that acting out is accompanied by a terrible justification of the brutality we’re subjected to, at least that’s the story that we’ve been told culturally. (A note: this part I think comes from all of the queer studies books I’ve been reading, and oddly enough is not something that I would have said while conscious, nor does it particularly make sense in regard to HH.)</p> <p>And that I missed Helen very much and thought that we would have been in touch again soon, since I’d just started visiting New Orleans again. Paul said that he would call her, then he picked up this orange rotary dial phone and left a message on a kind of machine. He told her happy birthday and that I’d come over for a visit.</p> <p>Then I woke up crying.</p>http://lucifermorningstar.tumblr.com/post/49780089360http://lucifermorningstar.tumblr.com/post/49780089360Mon, 06 May 2013 09:08:00 -0700helen+hilldream<iframe src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F90514966&liking=false&sharing=false&origin=tumblr" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" class="soundcloud_audio_player" width="500" height="116"></iframe><br/><br/><p>A session from our downtown Oakland home that starts with an inconsequential anecdote and ends with some trickery on Scott’s part. <br/><br/> Cello and electronics.

I see it being attributed to Beardsley a lot of places, but I’m pretty sure this is some kind of mistake/blunder.</p> <p>1. I’ve seen all of the plates for Salome, The Yellow Book, etc, since I was and obsessed high schooler and loved looking at books in the library, and this one doesn’t ring a bell at all.</p> <p>2. The line work seems very uncharacteristic of Beardsley. Beardsley uses a lot of varied line weight, and generally there is a lot of use emphasis on the line as a way to convey visual information. The linework in this image is not very good, and lacks Beardsley’s technical skill and expressive vocabulary. Also, that dress is not right at all, since Beardsley was all about the fancy dress. </p> <p>3. The composition is also not characteristic of Beardsley. Beardsley tended to favor strong vertical compositions, which is created though elaborate patterns and frames, as well as the placement of the figure. This image seems to want to be read from the center out. </p> <p>4. This image looks nothing like any of the other images that Beardsley made for Salome. Not at all.</p> <p>5. The only place that seems to match this with Beardsley’s Salome are shitty framed art factory sites like art.com.</p> <p>hmmmm…</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://pubertad.tumblr.com/post/48410013142/aubrey-beardsley-death-of-salome-illustration" target="_blank">pubertad</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>Aubrey Beardsley, </span><span>Death of Salome, illustration for Oscar Wilde’s <em>Salome</em></span></p> </blockquote>http://lucifermorningstar.tumblr.com/post/48444167589http://lucifermorningstar.tumblr.com/post/48444167589Sat, 20 Apr 2013 08:53:08 -0700beardsleysalomenot salome<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/2b84ceca38c7a3df40b5ac28b497d4cd/tumblr_mlcxxaPSSF1r3yu63o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>These are some pretty nice bags. </p> <p>It’s amazing how oblivious I am to these things, and how many sweet bags I must’ve sent to a landfill.
