Strength and the Four of Pentacles
or The Needle and The Golem





I received onto my flesh yesterday tattoos numbers eleven and twelve, two new pentacles, bringing my tally to four pentacles.



Several things have occurred recently which culminate in my being able to move forward quickly in my endeavor to complete my tattooing plan. Brian at Braindrops and my new job mainly have given me the means to pay for work with an adept artist. I met Brian as he was the one who tattooed our slave at work and I filmed it. For his first piece on me, I had the latin, fortis, tattooed on my Manipura chakra, the chakra associated with dynamism, energy, and will-power infusing it with strength, like turning it up to 11 if you ask some.



Obviously he did a fantastic job. And I feel like I accomplished the same goal that I had when I had invictus tattooed on my Anahata chakra, associated with the ability to make decisions outside of the realm of karma. I need that kind of connection with my tattooing, for basically I am making a golem of myself. Speaking of which, non sequitur, mud wrestling at the Eagle next Saturday, June 30th.

The tattoo shown above and the one below are the two I received yesterday, and I'll be getting pentacles 5 and six on 7/24 right before Dore Alley and after I get back from Toronto. I've steered the plan to finishing my earth leg first, to ground myself so to speak.



After that leg is done I'm getting gnothi seauton, just above fortis in the center of the five pointed man, on my back. I'm having it done in the contracted greek with the Hindu swastika, a symbol of prosperity and well-being. Then it's on to nine more butterflies on my air leg, nine more salamanders on my fire arm and the fluidity of my water arm, not to mention my chest, ass, neck and head and fingers and hands and...
