CRIMSON PEAK 2015, dir. Guillermo del Toro

Marimo (毬藻) moss balls are actually a type of algae that grows spherically as it rolls in the water. Because they only grow 5mm a month, they are easy to take care of, but they are also very rare and can only be found in a few parts of the world including Japan & Iceland. Because of their rarity and beauty, a festival called Marimo Matsuri takes place every year in Hokkaido, Japan where all the marimo plants in the Lake Akanko are taken out, individually cleaned, and placed back into the water. Not only are they adorable, but they are considered a national treasure in Japan!

lake akan (not akanko) is neighbored by an ainu village! The ‘cleaning’ is actually a blessing by elders in the ainu community and the importance of returning them is in the message of conservation and protecting their home

Susan Sontag - “Death Kit”

Hestia/Vesta gets the first prayer and the last prayer. She gets the first offering and the last offering, burnt in Her honor in Her hearth, which every home, temple, and town square had. Offerings couldn’t even reach the Olympian gods without Her Hearth, and She had the power to withhold them! But She never did, because She was above all of that. Without Her, civilization would have fallen apart.

This is all of us
