Whisper of Life by Nausicaa Morgue

I am pleased to announce that I just helped the enormously talented Nausicaa Morgue to set up the blog linked here for her wonderful bone sculptures.

Currently two items are available there at a very fair price, open to negotiation. Brief descriptions follow. The bones are prepared with old craftsmanship & without chemicals. They are made into objects of sombre beauty in a gesture of profound respect for the departed, to honour the eternal return & eternal fire that goddess prepares for those that love Her. The only magic in these pieces is the magic of devotion & art, of life & fire itself.

 

Here is Nausicaa's "cow baby" sculpture. Nausicaa burns brighter with goddess than anyone I have ever known, & it is my nature to tend flames, so I shall be promoting the living shit out of her work. This statue elevates the fragile & resilient beauty of abjection, carrying at the same time the protection of a crescent moon of obsidian, & it screams its promise of incarnation forever, flesh not identity. The intensity that is captured in this piece is from goddess Herself, channelled through Her best reflection. It is an expression of the fire that burns, the restive fury of goddess in the beast.

 

This second statue is a scrying mirror, or just simply a mirror, & it is made to honour the remains of an armadillo. Nausicaa selected an older mirror that showed the passage of time in order to complement the time & timelessness that the stature celebrates. Kali is beyond time & controls it, like every other illusion it does not affect Her. It is Maa Kali who has told me to  assist Nausicaa as best I can, & I am confident that the purchase of any of these will secure Her divine blessings, it will certainly secure  mine.

From the blog of David C. McLean

There's a new book by me at the Lulu bookstore, forthcoming from Amazon etc but it's better for us if you buy from Lulu anyway. Full of massive love for Kali Maa & Her aspect Matangi. Blurb & cover follow, linked here Matangi assembles Her rejects.

I now add the Amazon link, here it is. The UK Amazon link is also live here.

This is the second book about Mother Kali from David C. McLean & it focuses on the Mahavidya Matangi, who controls art & poetry, & is the goddess of impurity. She is related to Hecate & other Dark Mothers. 

In the introduction there is discussion of Her as source of understanding of the incommensurable & McLean relates Her to Deleuze & Lyotard. He sees in Her a solution to the issue of the expression of intensity. 

We hope that this book pleases Kali Maa.
