THE BARBARA STRANGE/KALI KARNIVORA/... PAGE

The first window is, of course, the very reflection of her Strange Selves, both being Opposite Direction Reflections (ODR's).

The result of activating through this first window is Barbara Astarte, the reflection of Strange.

This polarity is HEMISPHERICAL.

HypnoTriptologist, Dr. Z demonstrates the theory of transitional personality metamorfusion on the subject,

Barbara Strange. Strange is diagnosed a bipolar class 1. The full range of episodes 'happen' from the mildly manic

to catatonic features with post-partem onset, recurrences manifesting

in incendiary outbursts followed by deep trance states.

In more acute episodes, Strange has been known to go into Hypergasm, assuming the form of a broom riding harpie, and one or more occasions has bitten

the finger off a curious bystander. Strange seems otherwise disposed to 'Doll Breaking' episodes

if only to return diligently to the tasks of re-assembling them…

interchangeably 'Altared', however.

In this particular session, Dr. Z utilizes the Transtrip Hypnofusion technique.

Dr. Z: "What does the child see as her opposite inside the Wyrd mirror?"

Dr. Z: "That mirror is the illusion revealing the opposite truth of ones selves. It is receptive, yet it acts upon you.

What happens when Sekhemet reflects Hathor and likewise?"

B Astarte: "Blood and wine become mingled. Opposites blur and create an elixir. I see ice over obsidian hills and rivers of mercury." B Wyrd: "They take their dolls to the grave with them. They take them down down to break them apart and reshape the universe."

Dr. Z: "Am I speaking to Barbara Wyrd?"

B Astarte: "You are speaking to Wyrd."

Dr. Z: "Take me down to where they bring the broken pieces."

B Wyrd: "You will need a key to get downstairs where she keeps them."

The polarities between the two distinctly X-pressive personalities that manifest in

Strange remain yet to be reconciled.

Bipolar 1 disorder as recognized in DSM IV, however,

does not diagnose Triptogasmic Reflex disorder.

B Astarte relates to herSelves through the appearances of Wyrd. At this point in the interview, she produces a knife and cuts carefully into the Wyrd reflection, rendering the white blanket of snow into a crimson lace. The obsidian hills and rivers of mercury run red. This is the land of broken dolls, she says, she 'knows' the way to that place where they are taken. A little girl's pretty white dress that they weaved for her is stained with blood and wine.

Barbara Astarte has taken the direct road that turns suddenly and from there, it seems her Wyrd sister pilots the journey.

She carries a torch, the passage being quite the dark voyage.

The interviewer's identity must be concealed and is bestowed a black cloak and medallion. The dialogue proceeds.

Dr. Z: "I am speaking to Wyrd, am I not?"

B Wyrd: "A girl's fine white laced dress is bloody and sweet. A child gathers together the pieces and passes them through the fire here."

Dr. Z: "What then is this?"

B X: "Her name is the weaver, uniter, huntress, war, binder, protectress, crossroads, lover, and queen of whips.

The full moon is not her true face but a reflection of some light.

Her true face is the dark side."

What appears to be the subject, Strange, is really one of the many confusing and subterfugal manifestations of her personalities passing over the fire with her knife a grotesquely reassembled doll or fetish. It is monstrous. This particular ritual ends when the last call for X-presso sjots closes the coffee shop.

ARSENOE After the expulsion of the Persian dynasty from Egypt, Grecian culture and the Hellenistic world had influenced art, commerce, and even agriculture in the land of the Nile. Here is a portrait of Arsenoe, the wife of Ptolemy Philadelphus, inspired by a sculpture originally part of a temple in Heliopolis that ended up in Rome where it was found in 1710. The style and iconography is conservatively Egyptian. The policy of maintaining temple art in its traditional sense probably helped to gain native support or even to appease the gods. As for Arsenoe, her legacy was rife with controversy, mystery, love, and corruption. Thus, she became, in her own right, the subject of an epoch as extraordinary as any in the passages of Egypt's magnificent history.
