This is to try and inspire poeple to stop faving the club and send their love to the artist where it belongs.....

I will be sending out notes this week which gives people the opportunity to rectify the situation, so the list hopefully doesn't
go up......

I saw this in another club and thought it was a good idea......
A lot of time is taken up sending notes to people asking them to send their faves to the appropriate person, to no avail.....

I have heard that sometime in the not too distant future, you will
be able to block the option of having faves which will be great for clubs

*TheAntlerGang UNICORNS http://TheAntlerGang.deviantart.com/journal/11845537/ http://TheAntlerGang.deviantart.com/journal/11845537/ Fri, 16 Feb 2007 17:25:45 PST
Webester's Seventh defines a unicorn as 'a mythical animal generally depicted with the body and head of a horse, hind legs of a stag, tail of a lion, and a single horn in the middle of its forehead'. The word 'unicorn' comes from the Latin 'Uni', meaning one, and 'Cornu, meaning horn.

The unicorn has been depicted in the folklore and legends of other
cultures besides ours. The Chinese believed that they had the body of a deer, with horses' hooves and an ox's tail. Where in the west the horn was made of bone, the Oriental unicorn's horn was made of flesh. The coat of the unicorn was of the five sacred colors of the Chinese; red, yellow, blue, white, and black.

The Chinese called the unicorn 'K'i-lin'. To them, it was
a symbol of wisdom. Around 2800 BC, the Emperor Fu Hsi wrote of seeing a k'i-lin. He saw markings on the coat of the animal, and and perceived those symbols as a written language, thus giving credit to the k'i-lin for the establishment of the written Chinese language.

The sighting of a K'i-in was a considered a good omen, and often
signified the birth of a good ruler. Other times, it appeared to give a warning to men. A scouting party for Genghis Khan reported seeing a Chio-tuan, a type of K'i-lin, that warned the party to stop the war, and that 'moderation will give boundless pleasure'. Upon receiving the report, the Mongol stopped his battle plans.

Unicorns were reported in India as well. The Greek Ctesias wrote of seeing a 'wild ass' there, which was as large as a horse. He said that the horn of the unicorn was about a foot and a half long, and three colored, with the base being white, the middle black, and the top red.

The best known legends surrounding the unicorn are in Western culture. The common view of the unicorn as a horse with a horn is popular, and has been depicted in our heritage for thousands of years. The unicorn is mentioned in the Bible in several verses. The Palm Sunday tract in the Roman Catholic missal reads, 'Deliver me from the lion's mouth, and my lowliness from the horns of unicorns'. Saint Ambrose, the Bishop of Milan in the fourth century, considered the unicorn a symbol of Christ as he
wrote, 'Who then has one horn, unless it be the only begotten son, the unique word of God, which has been next to God from the very beginning?' Saint Augustine considered the horn of the unicorn to be a symbol of the unity of the faith of the Church.

The horn of the unicorn has been sought after for centuries. In the
west, it was thought to have magical properties, and could purify poisons. Therefore, it was a very valuable commodity to have. Pope Paul III is said to have paid 12,000 pieces of gold for one, but James I of England got a much better deal for his, only paying 10,000 pounds Sterling for one. The horn of the narwhal was a common substitute for that of the unicorn for those unscrupulous businessmen.

Because of that problem, a common test to determine the validity of a unicorn horn was to use its magical properties of purification. David De Pomis wrote, 'There is very little of the true horn to be found, most of that which is sold as such being either stag's horn, or elephant's tusk. A true test by which one may know the genuine horn from the false: Place the horn in a vessel of any sort of material you like, and with it three or four large and live scorpions, keeping the vessel covered. If you find four hours later that the scorpions are dead or almost lifeless, the horn is a good one, and there is not enough money in the world to pay for it'.

The search for the unicorn, and proof of its existance, dates back
almost as far as the legends which surround it. Ctesias spoke of the unicorn in the court of Darius II, the King of Persia in 416 BC. Chinese writings date back to 2800 BC. The men of the ancient world believed in the existance of the unicorn, so the object of their searching was to find it, not to prove it existed. It wasn't until later in history that man began to doubt the unicorn's physical existance. In the ninth century, Margoulies wrote, 'It is universally held that the unicorn is a supernatural being and of auspicious omen; so say the odes, the annals, the biographies of worthies, and other texts whose authority is unimpeachable.

Even village women and children know the unicorn is a lucky sign. But this animal does not figure among the barnyard animals, it is not always easy to come across, it does not lend itself to zoological classification, nor is it like the horse or bull, the wolf or deer. In such circumstances we may be f... ]]> *TheAntlerGang NEW AVATAR http://TheAntlerGang.deviantart.com/journal/11825071/ http://TheAntlerGang.deviantart.com/journal/11825071/ Thu, 15 Feb 2007 04:49:23 PST hope you like

THE TATTOO by Ania Walwicz

Beating the drum. I follow the boy with a snake on his arm.
This dragon on his neck. He is a painted one. I follow this
boy with the dragon. He has a heart with a dagger in it.
I follow this boy with a heart, with his knife. I follow him
around. He has a spiderweb on his leg, a rose on his wrist.
I follow him. Can't keep my eyes off him. Can't. I can't
stop. Can not. It's written in the cards with the ten of
hearts. I follow him. This snake on his arm curling
around. Sneaky, sneaky snake. I follow this snake. I try
to grab its tail so it won't bite. I follow him. I follow this
dragon. Ten miles long. Smelling of fear. But it doesn't
matter. Breathing these flames. I follow him. This big
red heart, this beating pump. That I can feel his red
heart going and gone. I follow him. This big steel knife.
This hunter. I know how it feels to hold the handle. I
follow him. This rose, that opens up. I can remember
her. I follow him. In the rose garden, in the park. This
spider in his net has me trapped. Has me all figured.

"And these are the words of Cernunnos, Herne, Atho, Beli
the voice of the Horned One, he whose
names are un-numbered:

I am the wild hunter of the forest deep
And I am the fire upon the hill
And I am the sower of the seed
And the tiller of the soil of the earth.

And I am the golden warrior
Whose arrows are the shafts from the sun
The thunder is my hoof fall
The wilderness my shrine.

I wield the oaken staff
The elements at my call
By day I am sun
by night I ride upon the wild winds.

I am a stag, a tree and mountain
My seed within the earth's dark womb
For I am the Horned One;
Sire of the Universe
Love and Consort of the Goddess am I.

In the wilderness doth my spirit dwell
And all wildlins
And fugitives of oppression
Are cherished within my heart.

To such as thee, my hidden children
Am I provider and protector
For all things wild and free
Are in my keeping.

And all things of beauty and freedom and life
Are joy unto my spirit
Swiftly I come to merriment and laughter
for these are my invocations.

For I am the Lord of all life
Yet also I have a dark face
For I am Death. The Reaper of Souls.
And terrible is this my dark face
To those who know not the mystery.

Yet to my hidden children
Who know and love my spirit
My dark face is also sweet
For tis the face of deep and hidden wisdom.

For I am the giver of knowledge
Life and death are mine to give
From death thou shalt be reborn
Unto new life and love.
Therefore seek my spirit and know me
Bright and dark
Then shalt thou know my mystery.

For I am the Ancient One:
My faces outnumber the stars
I am the Horned One of un-numbered names
I am the gentle and the fierce.

I am Cernunnos, Herne, Atho, Belie,
Haro, the Ancient One
Lord and Sire of the Universe All..........
