Nihil's Maw When I say of a piece of music that it puts me to sleep, it might sound like an insult. But I can't fall asleep to music that's bad. I actively seek out music like this; music which helps me dissolve, disperse, unwind, and become nothing but a wave of sound in unconsciousness. For me to say that this helps me sleep is not an insult, but an indicator of how hypnotizing and immersive this artistic piece really is. Also good meditation music, tbh

Dissolutionemque
When the demon ate the sun

The word eclipse comes from the Greek ἔκλειψις, ekleípō: disappearance, abandonment. A solar eclipse is the moment in which the sun disappears, abandoning the world.

The ancient Greeks thought of a solar eclipse as an act of abandonment, a terrible crisis and an existential threat. It meant that the king would fall, that terrible misfortunes would rain down on the world, or that demons had swallowed the sun.

In ancient Egypt, Apep, the serpent of chaos and death, opposed Ra, the sun god, and was always trying to reach Ra’s skyboat to devour the sundisc — but in the end, Ra was always able to fight him off, and the sun would come back.

In ancient India, Rahu was an immortal demigod with a severed head. He had a grudge against both sun and moon — they were the ones who convinced Lord Vishnu to chop off Rahu’s head in the first place, after he drank the nectar of immortality — so he chased them endlessly across the sky, and sometimes caught them. But whenever he managed to swallow either sun or moon, his victory was short-lived: They’d pass out of the stump of his throat shortly thereafter.


Generally, across the globe, when a demon is trying to eat the sun, there’s only one thing to do: make as much noise as possible until it gets scared and flees. Then you survive until the next eclipse.
