It is fundamentally collaborative, and requires multiple hands. More indebted to feminine or matrilineal oral kind of pronouncement than it is writing, like the matrix songs in Always Coming Home. It's fleeting and it defies being written. - Radial symmetry, like mandalas. A visual target, correlated to the circular gestalt of the eyeball, cosmological maps of the universe. - Moving away from that marketing, orientation of conveying an identity to a community and attempting to become something more archaically mythological speaking into or breathing into worlds. A tether from imagination to action in the world. ### Bloodletters Circle - Image sacrifice of the self, not of the future. - Visually composed as an archetypal glyph, based in forms of pictographic writing. - Glyph is carved from the edge of a blade, the mark that it cuts into the skin - Evokes divination blood oracles, throwing bones, etc. During the ritual, the blood is poured to flow through a trough to form an altar. - visual correlation to opening of a portal - blood is probably collected into a vessel, pours into these troughs, flows in a linear pattern, triggers an activation. - This is the spell that conjures the demon. - Design elements: - the vessel - the blade - the mark, the scar of the cut - the glyph inscribed on the altar - the altar itself - specifics of the ritual, including music and a description of the opening of a portal - the anti-moloch demon
