Volcanoes. The name itself shudders. Current Environ conditions in several of Our World centers are constantly changing. Volcanic eruptions, Sky and Cloud Pollution, Earthquakes ensuing etc. Tidal concerns perhaps too. Our World Legends of Our Past… those of Vulcan are similar. Earth Elements galore, Molten Metals, Fire, Ice and Water. Herein. Hot as… background Music… as well.
In the dark Inner recesses of Our Earth, Nature
moves forthrightly.
Natural Forces… interact, provoke and prevail. Grow.
The soon visible shudders, stresses and strains
of the Planet in Motion…
at work…
or play. Smoke.
Here and there… pinpricks of Light… flare, flame…
and grow as well. Fire.
A Fire Inside… the Earth.
Burning bright now.
Consistently seeking new fuel for that-
Inner Earth Fire.
Remains… of simply Ash.
A Mountain above.
(…Slideshow Images vis Pixabay…)
The Volcano stirs.
Inside and out.
From Our World Legends.
The Legendary
Vulcan.
Where there’s smoke, fire, ash,..
…and Life,..
…from whose very name we coined such a Mount.
Is again… brought sharply to Mind.
Burning brightly… forthrightly…
as well.
ROME… Built by Our World Legends… such as these.
To Juno and Jupiter…
a Son is born.
Forthrightly… or not.
A Baby thus Divine born… shines Bright.
The Council of Gods… of Rome… were…
overall quite pleased.
Known in the Legends as the ‘ Dei Consentes ‘.
Till the Official Baby Viewing… that is.
When and then.
The Mood was lost… went Ugly.
Indeed,.. in deed and in fact… too.
So Our World Legends sayeth. Herein.
Herein. Cupid + co…
Though their names at different times and places… may change… These be the Same.
Baby indeed was of such a ungodly look,.. Mother Juno.
Wanted to lose him so it seems,.. so,..
threw him.
Off a Cliff.
This was the closest one available.
Mount Olympus… was it’s name.
He,.. The Ugly Baby God… though yet unnamed;..
survived… basically unharmed… somehows.
A not so divine and eternal… Sore foot.
The only scar… to remain.
Tis and twas… a God after All.
Even if a Baby One.
Now though… Baby steps… with a lil’ limp…
were taken.
Gods and Goddesses… of ROME of Yore. A selection thereof. Herein also.
So… dear ol’ Divine Mommy Dearest Juno… threw him.
Again.
Into a Fiery Mountain.
Then told Ugly Baby God With A Limp- to stay…
there.
Till he was a Man-God.
The Limp… stayed… also.
Named when then,..
was done and dusted.
As now:..
Vulcan.
To the Roman Gods and Goddesses of Yore… To Juno and Jupiter. A Son. Eventually… named as VULCAN.
Still Ugly it seems… and still…
Divine… too.
With now though… a unique and rather heart warming…
Skill-set.
All… Fired Up… as well.
Especially after being cooped up and in a Mountain.
By… Mum.
The Vulcanisms of Science.
The Modern Sciences have spent much time and peoples
Studying such aspects of Nature.
The fierceness of some of the eruptions have
caused many incidents of mayhem and destruction.
Common throughout Our History and Herstory.
Legends are many also.
Volcanoes.
3 Main Volcanic Types.
Strato-Composite/CinderCone/Shield.
Gaps, Holes and/or Ruptures of Our Earth’s Crust.
The Tectonic Plates… some 17 of them form this Crust.
Whence and where around they meet…
Earthquakes and Volcanoes… do too.
Grow… more likely that is.
The Image below shows the connections therein.
Sectional Views of Tectonic Plates and Volcanoes.
In the Main and Generally.
The formation of Magma appears to drive
Volcano Locale.
Being heated and thus less dense
than the surrounds
of Inner Earth Rocks and so forth.
With Pressure.
It drives… Upward.
From the Inside… out.
Forming the Volcano… with Lava Flow…
usually flowing soon after.
After erupting and escaping from his Inner Earth…
Housing and Schooling.
Vulcan too,… moved on.
Flowing sorta straight back into… Society Divinity.
Unpretty… or not.
Vulcan gets the Creative Urges.
Married… too. To Venus.!?.
What the Frick.?.
His Talents… All could use.
Divine… or not.
Thrones, Statuary and Objects of Art, Jewellery, Weaponry
and Armor… also.
Even a Bronze Giant… named as Talus.
The Legends of Jason and the Argonauts know this
Gigantes One well.
Other Legendary Giants such as Cyclopes worked with him
too whilst he attended to the Forging and Crafting
of many items for the Gods and Goddesses
of these Ancient Times.
Achilles and Mars… The God of War,..
more too did visit… oft.
His work was exemplary because of the then new
and unique Fire then Water Tempering and Forging
Processes that his Talents… knew so well. Deeply
in fact. ALL… Fired Up it seems.
From living in that Ol’ Greek Mount… that was on
Fire. Later Greek Science Bright Spark types
would apply such lateral thinking to their own
Weapons of Mass Destruction…
and created that good ol’ Greek Liquid Fire of Yore.
That Water could not douse.
That Ol’ Greek… Liquid Fire. Herein.
The Master Blacksmith of the Gods… Vulcan become.
Accruing rewards, payments and accolades along the Ways.
A Wife… also.
Venus was her name.
A… Gift of the Gods.!.
So these Legends sayeth.
From Zeus… actually.
For Crafting such fine and Fiery Thunderbolts Divine.
Now… yes,.. You read it right.
Irony Themes within and herein this Legend it seems… too.
Unpretty… as well.
The Ugly God With A Limp… got the Girl.
The Girl… Vulcan got.
And not just any Girl.
By Botticelli… Venus Goddess.
Venus.
The one who sleeps in Giant Seashells.
Sleeps on silken Sea Foam.
Long Hair. Naked under etc etc etc.
Ugly… is not at all… in her resume.
At All… indeed,..
in deed and in fact… as well.
Venus.
Vulcan.
Married… By the gift of giving-Divine indeed,..
in deed and in fact… too.
VULCAN,.. VENUS,.. CUPID,.. MARS.
Though… no Babies therein… ever ever do… ensue.
Only the Gods… and Goddesses know…
the reasons why… or why not. As the heated-case may
therein be.
For the Legends do state the case… that each and both…
become parents of other’s Children. Later.
Such… was their case therein.
So Our World Legends do say… also.
Smoke, Fire and Ash.
The Mountains of Fire oft… include and intrude upon Our
World Legends.
Sorrow, Death and Destruction… ensue.
Vesuvius and Pompeii.
Krakatoa and Banten.
Mont Pelee and Saint-Pierre.
Currently such Disasters are striking again.
Hawaii,.. Indonesia,.. Guatemala also.
Best and good Wishes… To All therein.
The Biggest and Brightest.?. of the Fiery Mounts
that the Sciences seem to have located
has become known as the Pompeii of the East. As
with that Ancient City of Yore…
an entire Population perished.
The following Year, of 1816 had
it’s Seasons put askew.
The blast of noise was heard more
than 2,000 kms away. The ensuing Volcanic
Acid Rain swept as far as Borneo for example.
The Mount itself has over 20 Cones and Domes.
A Death Toll of at least 70,000 People.
Indonesia.
Mount Tambora.
Tis monitored and closely watched by Science… still.
Mount Tambora… Indonesia.
The Fire Within…
A Pyramid.?.
There is much to this Element.
Fire out there… within also.
We too use a Natural Fire form.
A… Pyramid.
Within.
Digestion.
The Term we use for a constructed Mountain = The Pyramid.
The Pyr(e)amid(st).
Fire in the Middle.
Fire Within.
Inside the Pyramid Great.
Mix a PYRAMID, FIRE AND WATER… TO GET.?. Our World Legends. Herein.
Digestion and Natural extraction of Nutrients by Our Bodies
is done with warmth.
Fire Within.
The Temperature of the Goodies within is raised.
The Nutrients.
Digested and extracted thus and thereof.
Hot stuffed Nutrients in Liquids especially easily absorbed.
Quickly.
The warm blood that surrounds Our Digestive System
and the ongoing processes ensures these run smooth
and sure.
Cooling drinks chill that a lil’ too.
Starvation and Alcohol to excess… also.
Fire… Ice.
A Balance is required for optimum… Life.
Volcanoes too… Live within… Our World Ice.
Under anyways.
Another… has a Underwater Lake nearby… as well.
So Our World Legends of Science do say.
Fire Light.?.
Fire Life.!.
Life per se too… can live within… Fire.
Science has developed a knack for looking at very small things.
Looking closely… within a Volcano as well.
The somewhat intricate Life of such as Bacterium has only been seen recently within Our World Legends…
History and Herstory…also.
With Instruments of Great Magnification.
Various Forms noted that utilise what we Term… Spores.
Also… somewhat impervious to Heat or Cold,.. Radiation, Chemicals,..
even Lack of Food and Water.
The Photo below contains some fiery finer details… therein.
Fire-light… and Fire-Life.
Thiolava Veneris… the name of Life midst Fire.
Close-up of Bacterium THIOLAVA VENERIS… Recently found colonizing new Volcanic Rock. Named with ref to Venus… the wife of… Vulcan… as well.
Those who Live on or directly observe Nature understand
how Fire also stimulates Life.
Natural Bush-fires bring about a resultant cleared field
with many Minerals and so forth available for absorption.
When such as the Rains come, the new growth oft
luxuriant and varied.
This effect of Fire and Smoke etc… also applies
to several Seed Forms.
The Seed Outer Shell is cracked and opened
with the Heat.
So now precious Water can penetrate;..
allowing hopefully Germination and Regeneration
to occur.
Life effected from and through Fire.
A Fire Inside… smolders still.
We use Fire to both Create and Destroy.
To Feed, Kill, Live and Survive.
So too… Mother Nature.
The Element of Fire.
Vulcan as well.
The Legendary Fire therein and within.
Our World Legends.
All Fired Up.
Flame On.
Hot As.
Eternal Flame.
Eternal Flame. Relit.?. Our World Legends. Herein. Love comes with… a Price. From The Knights of Chivalry,.. To Shakespeare,.. All To… Missing Princesses in the Real and Modern… also.
Till next…
Our World Legends.
