I am currently reading this (children's book lol) Hugo Cabret illustrated AND written by Brian Selznick. The artwork captures me; I absolutely love it. It is one of the most BEAUTIFUL books I have ever held, the design, fonts, and weight and color of the papers and backings are outstanding in every way. Just wonderful. The story is partly inspired by the life and work of Georges Méliès, creator of the world's first science fiction movie entitled "A Trip To the Moon" - circa 1902 (see it here).
Tuesday, January 8, 2008 [Re-interpreted by Sibyl] --- Spell #1 from The Book of Ani--- And here begins the spell of the going forth by day, the praises and recitations for going to and from the realm of life....
Hail to you of the west, so sayeth Thoth the king of eternity, of me. I am the great one, the protector whom has fought for you... I belong to your company for I have fashioned the children of the star goddess (Nu-ut) and imprison all who rebel. ... I am the priest of the Lion-God in the House of Osiris who raises up this earth, I am he who sees the mysteries, I am he who reads the ritual book of the soul.... O you who open the path and open the roads for the perfected souls in this house, open the path and the roads for the soul in company with you. May you go out in peace from this house of life and may your soul speak with you, be a spirit with you, and may no fault be found. For the balance is voided of all misdoings.
