Mystical Bedtime Stories for Adults

In this series, an agent from The Occult Living Room works closely with a visual artist to construct a esoteric bedtime story which is designed to provoke thought, inspire musing and encourage moments of gnosis.

The following is a collaboration and creative exchange between Sasha Smith of The Occult Living Room and visionary tattoo artist @x.longinus.x.

Volume 1:

The Undeniable Mother

 

She crept upward from her fleshy basin

to bloom alongside cosmopolitan flowers

and gaze into the cosmic mirrors.

 

 

Ψ Ψ Ψ ♥ Ψ Ψ Ψ

 

 

This came about, not through obligation

but rather as unverifiable proof

our Mother is surely present in the kitchen.

 

 

 

After bypassing the threshold

subtle glances were exchanged

along with a nod, wink and a curtsy.

 

 

♥ Ψ Ψ ♥ Ψ Ψ♥

 

 

This first encounter had been

well, a positive affirmation to say the least

Both tongues warmly pointed the way.

 

 

 

 

There aren’t seas here per se

however, there are swimmers

of sorts

feathers and fins are basically just for aesthetics…

 

♥♥♥Ψ♥♥♥

 

It’s quite amusing

just to watch the others

doing nosedives or summersaults etc.

all while unwrapping arcane gifts…

 

 

 

 

As with the natural world,

some are prone to be

a bit more apprehensive

often, this does in fact serve them well.

The reflection of a cosmic antler?

Well, it’s far more distracting than one would expect.

In all seriousness,

beware of those who herd

also mind the withdrawn who claim

they are merely “watching.”

 

 

 

 

While touring the interior realms,

there will undoubtedly be a

request bestowed upon the visitor.

To put it bluntly, they will most likely ask for permission…

to accompany you into

 the inner sanctum.

 

Ψ♥Ψ♥Ψ♥Ψ♥

 

Of course it’s intimidating…

but there are always advantages

in relation to good housekeeping.

 

 

 

 

Remember,

setting up the communication system takes time.

Have you familiarized yourself with the habits and mannerisms of our nearby snake brethren?

♥♥♥♥♥♥

When answering the reporting officer,

please include your position

(in relation to the moon

or lunar cycle).

If the moon is not a practical reference point,

feel free to use a nearby star cluster for example.

In Conclusion:

The cosmic mother is indeed in the kitchen yet the residence is yet to be determined.
