“This morning in my coffee
I remembered the taste of your kiss
and the nine hundred and twelve times
we said good-bye before work-
sleepy eyes and hazelnut kisses.
I miss,
this.”

FIGURES OF NORSE MYTHOLOGY: IDUN
The goddess of eternal youth, married to Bragi, the god of poetry. Idun is the custodian of the golden apples of youth. When the gods feel old age approaching, they only have to eat of the apples to become young again. As a goddess of fertility, youth and death, it is possible that she was originally one of the Vanir.
(Ancient) Egyptian Superstitions
Sweet smelling perfume was believed to attract good spirits, and strong foul odours such as garlic was believed to ward off evil spirits.
The Egyptians believed that the ear was a particularly vulnerable organ; allowing demons to easily enter to capture the soul; thus earrings had to be carefully designed in order to disallow malevolent spirits to enter the body.
When babies were born they would not be bathed for 2 weeks, in order to deflect the evil eye.Leaving shoes upside down was said to bring forth bad luck.The colour turquoise is said to ward off the evil eye.Do not open and close scissors through empty air for one could be cutting or disturbing the spirits, and once again one could face bad luck.The Egyptians believed that the number 13 brings good fortune.Suddenly awaking someone caused a high risk of their soul to escape their body.If women wanted to create a delectable meal, they would throw salt over their shoulders beforehand. If a black cat crosses one’s path it will bring bad luck.If a couple wanted good luck in their marriage, the bride would be pinched by all the female attendants on the wedding day. The belief that a cat had nine lives goes back to Ancient Egypt.

“The first step - especially for young people with energy and drive and talent, but not money - the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art.”
