Mercury (Hermes) and Virgo
I think this is a cool picture. It was in a poster for Universidad de Salamanca back in the 80s and one was given to me.
During a move I threw it out (stupid), figuring I’d be able to view it on the web. But repeated web searches haven’t found it.
So… does anyone know the origin of this artwork?
It looks like an old Roman wall or ceiling painting to me.
I’d like to track it down, and hopefully look at some high-res zooms on the web.
Let me know, if you know…

Eliade’s From Primitives to Zen online!
From the introduction:
The instigation for this anthology of religious texts came during my first years of teaching History of Religions at the University of Chicago… It seems to me that only by reading a certain number of religious texts related to the same subject (cosmogony, initiation, myths on the origin of death, etc.) is a student able to grasp their structural similarities and their differences. (Mircea Eliade)

How to tell a great leader from an evil genius…
I was browsing through A Critical Dictionary of Jungian Analysis and came across an interesting passage that got me thinking…
Jung’s main theoretical contribution to group psychology lies in his claim that it is the influence of insufficiently integrated archetypal tendencies that leads to mass phenomena such as fascism.
And that really is the bottom line.
A great leader weighs all the options and acts with his or her mind connected to the heart. But a tyrant doesn’t give a damn because he or she’s in the grip of some strange power beyond themselves, a power that Jung called an ‘archetypal influence.’
In short, the one is in control, whereas the other is controlled and wants to pass that lack of personal autonomy onto others… sort of like a disease.
Speaking of diseases, I wrote a poem called “The Disease” a long time ago, several years before 9/11. It was this kind of thing that I was alluding to.

Funny quote of the day (from a review of Sex and the City)
Likewise, Greek mythology begins with one question and one question only: Who has more fun in bed, men or women?”

I don’t know if there is life on Mars but yesterday’s touchdown was some of the best TV I’ve watched in a long time! Check out more NASA pics here…
