Eros, Daemon Magnus

“All affections and bonds of the will are reduced to two, namely aversion and desire, or hatred and love. Yet hatred itself is reduced to love, whence it follows that the will’s only bond is Eros.” - Giordano Bruno, “Theses de Magia“ Vol. LVI (c. 1591)

An approximate translation of the Latin text across the top of the image is: “Magic does not work unless you marry the world.”. The text on the bottom says: “The binding link is love”.

Eros is the “Daemon Magnus” (”Great Daemon”).

Gratitude rewires your brain. Laughter is anti inflammatory. Crying helps regulate your nervous system. Releasing anger can free the body from tension it was never meant to carry.

Feeling isn't weakness. It's how you heal.
