I am not a Kabbalist, but I found this an interesting conception of the Qlippoth and how their arrangement into a "Tree of Death" could be not a mirror image of made of "evil", but another side of a single Universal Tree of Life and Death.
Tweaking the paradigm’s tail … public altars
From the Department of Poetic Terrorism, I guess -- not really glamourbombing, although there is a mythical flavor to it:

Tweaking the paradigm’s tail … public altars
From the Department of Poetic Terrorism, I guess -- not really glamourbombing, although there is a mythical flavor to it:
How could a public pagan altar be made, so that it had some chance of sucess? Let’s agree to define success simply, so it is tantalizingly possible — success is 10 strangers coming upon it, and using it in active devotion to its gods.
What would such an altar look like?
Perhaps it would be chthonic — built under the overpass of a freeway. One with heavy foot traffic. The pillars are spray painted with the images of gods, together with words for their devotion. “Blessings upon you who makes devotion to Me. Say My Name three times while stamping your right foot, clasp your hands to your heart, turn on your own axis clockwise one time, and bow.”
