Adds keyboardist Sanae Yamada, the two parts are also intended to represent inverted components of a singular entity, like two faces on the same head which stare always in opposite directions but are inextricably driven by the same brain. Meanwhile, halfway around the world, Chinese dragon gates are designed not to block but rather encourage the passage of fantastical beasts, allowing them to freely fly back and forth between mountains above and seas below.
She knew that he had come seeking something, although he himself was unsure of what it was. As they sat across from each other, Agatha studied Benjamin closely. She could see the curiosity and restlessness in his eyes, and she knew that he was ripe for manipulation.
William Lethaby, Symbolism and the Occult
This book delves into the life and work of architect William Richard Lethaby (1857–1931) and his relationship with the occult and alchemy, in particular. Using detailed analysis of Lethaby’s drawings and architecture, the research uncovers Lethaby’s familiarity with occult concepts and ideology during the spiritual revolution of the nineteenth century.
Throughout this time, countless individuals, particularly members of the avant-garde, rejected more traditional religious pathways and sought answers through experimental and mystical alternatives. William Lethaby, Symbolism and the Occult reveals how the architect was profoundly influenced by the Zeitgeist, which was saturated with references to spiritualism, mysticism and the occult, and explores the impact of occultism on his contemporaries and the wider Arts and Crafts Movement.
This book is written for upper-level students, researchers and academics interested in architectural history, William Lethaby and nineteenth century culture and society.
Over the course of their conversation, Agatha began to weave her black magic around Benjamin. She cast spells and recited incantations, slowly molding his thoughts and desires to her advantage. Benjamin, completely oblivious to Agatha's dark intentions, found himself falling under her spell, unable to resist her enchantments. As the days turned into weeks, Benjamin started to experience strange sensations. He began to notice subtle changes in his appearance and demeanor. His voice became softer, his body became more slender, and he even found himself liking things that he once despised. Confused and frightened, Benjamin sought out Agatha, hoping that she could provide some answers. Agatha, feigning surprise, pretended to be unaware of Benjamin's transformation. She comforted him, assuring him that everything was as it should be. Deep down, however, she relished in her triumph. She had successfully turned a man into a woman, a feat that had never been accomplished before. As the months went by, Benjamin fully embraced his new identity as a woman. He became known as Beatrice and found solace in the acceptance of the villagers. Agatha, satisfied with her creation, reveled in her power. She had proven once again that her magic was unmatched, that she could bend anyone to her will. However, even as Beatrice flourished in her new life, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was not right. Deep inside, she knew that she had been manipulated by Agatha, that her transformation was not of her own free will. With a newfound determination, Beatrice set out to confront Agatha and break free from her spell. Using her wit and newfound strength, Beatrice devised a plan to defeat Agatha and reclaim her former self. She studied ancient texts, sought guidance from wise elders, and honed her own magical abilities. Finally, the day arrived when Beatrice was ready to confront the witch. In a symbolic battle of wills, Beatrice faced off against Agatha. She summoned all her strength and channeled the forces of good to overcome the dark powers of the witch. With a final burst of magic, Agatha was defeated, and her spell was broken. After the battle, Beatrice vowed to use her newfound knowledge and power for good. She became a guardian of the forest, protecting innocent villagers from the clutches of dark forces. The villagers rejoiced, grateful for Beatrice's bravery and resilience. And so, the story of the witch who turned a man into a woman ended with a triumph of good over evil. Beatrice, once just an innocent wanderer, became a legendary figure, inspiring generations to rise above adversity and reclaim their true selves..
