Psychopomp

Psychopomps (from the Greek word ψυχοπομπός (psychopompos), literally meaning the "guide of souls") are creatures, spirits, angels, or deities in many religions whose responsibility is to escort newly-deceased souls to the afterlife. Their role is not to judge the deceased, but simply provide safe passage. Frequently depicted on funerary art, psychopomps have been associated at different times and in different cultures with horses, Whip-poor-wills, ravens, dogs, crows, owls, sparrows, cuckoos, harts and Yamatoots.

In Jungian psychology, the psychopomp is a mediator between the unconscious and conscious realms. It is symbolically personified in dreams as a wise man (or woman), or sometimes as a helpful animal. In many cultures, the shaman also fulfills the role of the psychopomp. This may include not only accompanying the soul of the dead, but also vice versa: to help at birth, to introduce the newborn child's soul to the world (p. 36 of [1]). This also accounts for the contemporary title of "midwife to the dying," which is another form of psychopomp work.

Possession (2002) - trailer

Watched this tonight on Netflix. I was in the mood for a period romance something a little tragic prefferable since I had a somewhat depressing day today. I saw it at AMC back in 2002. It is a really good movie. I love poetry, writing, love stories, history, and this movie has all of that. I evny the main characters. I would love to have a job like their's some day.

I promise there is nothing that will scare you or anything like that in this video. But it is really cool. It will make your vision go wonky for a couple of seconds if you do what it says and look at something across the room.

This Blog

Ok soo I should be writing my paper right now on Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" but as usual I as screwing around on the internet instead of working on it, and getting in my daily dose of procratination. Now usually when I find something interesting, that I want to share online, I've been sharing it on my Twitter page, or on my Facebook page, which are fine, but they both have their own problems. They both usually cause further procrastination because I am usually so busy looking at what everyone else has posted that it takes me even longer to get back to what I should be doing. But they also both give you limited space so if I want to comment at all about what I am posting I am just SOL so I decided if I wanted to be able to actually comment on what I am posting then I am going to have to start a blog so that is what I am doing. The summer is about to start anyway, so I should have ample time to screw around and gab on the internet anyhow so what better time to start one. I may still share some things on my other pages too. But I will reserve the more extensive commentary for here. If nothing else I can always direct people to check out my blog if I feel the need to share my rant more extensively. I don't know if anyone will ever read this, maybe they wont, but if not if will still be here for my own enjoyment. It has come in handy before. I started a quote blog a year or so ago and I ended up using a couple of the quotes for a class this semester so it ended up coming in handy. I no longer have the book that I quoted and if not for the blog I wouldn't have been able to come up with the quote when I needed it so even if I am only talking to myself I guess it may someday have its uses. As the blog title suggests it helps me get in my daily bit of procrastination. :) If you are out there reading this I hope you enjoy it or it helps you out somehow someday.
