IS IT BEAUTIFUL
or is it creepy?
It was sent to me by a reader who had mixed feelings about it. It seems to be the work of this Ohio State graduate student in computer science.
The opening segment--the one with all the arms in motion--brought the chaosphere immediately to mind. I wonder if there is any relationship between this Chinese dance and the chaosphere used in chaos magick?
I presume the dance is associated with the goddess Kali Ma. That image of the goddess was linked at this Gnostic Jesus website.
The Alternative Religions website describes the chaosphere.
Here's another chaosphere.
And another.
And another.
Another.
And another.
A slightly different variety. This one has lyrics.
There is this kind too. A variety of tarot?
In magick rituals a chaosphere is used as a sigil. Sometimes it moves. Unfortunately the images of orbital chaospheres are no longer on the web. Or at least I couldn't find them.
I've often wondered if the symbol for the URI is really a variation of chaosphere.
