Kohl is an ancient eye cosmetic, traditionally made by grinding stibnite (Sb2S3).
It is widely used in South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, and parts of West Africa as eyeliner to contour and/or darken the eyelids and as mascara for the eyelashes. It is worn mostly by women, but also by some men and children.
Kohl has also been used in India as a cosmetic for a long time. In addition, mothers would apply kohl to their infants' eyes soon after birth. Some did this to “strengthen the child’s eyes”, and others believed it could prevent the child from being cursed by the evil eye.
PRINCE LYRICS
Black Muse can eye talk to you What eye got to share is mighty good news A brand new day is dawning But you and me know what to do (so much work to do)
Black Muse we've been so abused Our mothers were good-looking and our fathers were too But if they don't stay together We can't walk no better in these shoes (Black Muse)
Long ago 2 men held one of us down Another took a whip and made a terrible sound Baby watched her father falling down to the ground That was you and me.
Black Muse can eye share with you Just came this morning and it's mighty good news They tipped the hour glass Now everything is passed It's true.
They gave the world back to you and me The faces on the mountains and a dirty sea A trillion dollar bill and no currency Still we believe
Black Muse we gonna make it thru Surly people that created rhythm and blues Rock and roll and jazz So you know we're built to last It's cool.. it's cool.. it's cool.. (Black Muse)
A new day is dawning Black Muse A new day is dawning Black Muse
Now that eye got your attention Eye think its 'bout time eye mention The reason why eye wrote this song Like a UFO sighting From my heart eye am writing The next close encounter Tell me how long Will it be on land or near the water Will it produce the sun or the black moon daughter Or a pillow covered with all our tears 1000 light years away from here (1000 light years from here)
No yesterday or tomorrow No better remedy for sorrow Or why the 5th held forever will make you cry Eye don't know why
1000 light years from here (1000 light years from here)
2 unbroken circles joined together make a butterfly Little darling don't you wanna try? (yeah I wanna try) There ain't nothing better than looking for me (for me to) And seeing you (seeing me) Seeing you in the mirror 1000 light years away from here
Why do we always seem so far away? When you know that eye really wanna be with you night and day I'm running out of ways to say how So eye think I'll just close For now.

I hosted a special about his concert series on The Africa Channel. He was going to Australia [in May 2012] and knew that I danced and modeled and he said, ‘We need a feature dancer, do you want to come?’ I also went on to tour Chicago with him and then we did SXSW, the closing Samsung party. – Damaris Lewis in Sports Illustrated

Sint mihi Dei Acherontis propitii! Valeat numen triplex Jehovae! Ignei, aerii, aquatani spiritus, salvete! Orientis princeps Belzebub, inferni ardentis monarcha, et Demogorgon, propitiamus vos, ut appareat et surgat Mephistophilis. Quid tu moraris? per Jehovam, Gehennam et consecratum aquam quam nunc spargo, signumque crucis quod nunc facio, et per vota nostra, ipse nunc surgat nobis dicatus Mephistophilis!2
Note 2. “Be propitious to me, gods of Acheron! May the triple deity of Jehovah prevail! Spirits of fire, air, water, hail! Belzebub, Prince of the East, monarch of burning hell, and Demogorgon, we propitiate ye, that Mephistophilis may appear and rise. Why dost thou delay? By Jehovah, Gehenna, and the holy water which now I sprinkle, and the sign of the cross which now I make, and by our prayer, may Mephistophilis now summoned by us arise!” [back]
Note 3. “For indeed thou hast power in the image of thy brother Mephistophilis.” [back]
I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time to die."
"Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south."
(Job 9:9 KJV)
"Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? "
(Job 38:31 KJV)
"Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name: "
(Amos 5:8 KJV)
Orion —
Hebrew,
“the fool”;
in Job_38:31 he appears fettered with “bands.”
The old legend represented this star as a hero, who presumptuously rebelled against God, and was therefore a fool,
Have u Ever Danced with The Devil in the Pale Moonlight,,,?
and was chained in the sky as a punishment;
for its rising is at the stormy period of the year.
He is Nimrod
(the exceedingly impious rebel)
among the Assyrians;
Orion among the Greeks.
Sabaism
(worship of the heavenly hosts)
and hero-worship were blended in his person.
He first subverted the patriarchal order of society by substituting a chieftainship [ROYALTY] based on [right of] conquest
(Gen_10:9, Gen_10:10).
(Jamieson, Fausset And Brown Commentary)
Enter FAUSTUS to conjure
Faust.
Now that the gloomy shadow of the earth
Longing to view Orion’s drizzling look,
Leaps from the antarctic world unto the sky,
And dims the welkin with her pitchy breath,
Faustus, begin thine incantations,
And try if devils will obey thy hest,
Seeing thou hast pray’d and sacrific’d to them.
Within this circle is Jehovah’s name,
Forward and backward anagrammatis’d,
The breviated names of holy saints,
Figures of every adjunct to the Heavens,
And characters of signs and erring 1 stars,
By which the spirits are enforc’d to rise:
Then fear not, Faustus, but be resolute,
And try the uttermost magic can perform.

In the Doctor Who New AdventuresnovelLove and War, the 25th century New Age Travellers have a trickster god they just call the Trickster (who doesn't appear to be related toThe Sarah Jane Adventurescharacter).
During Jan's vision quest, heappears to Jan as "Arlan Jardolz, the Betalan comedian" and to Ace as Vic Reeves.

Be careful, watch that last step!
Aelius: I think that if someone tried to rob you in the street, you'd pick his pocket, sell him a better knife and probably offer him a job as a tax collector.
Basso:
I choose to take that as a compliment.
A trickster is a character who plays tricks or otherwise disobeys normal rules and conventional behavior. The Trickster openly questions and mocks authority, encourages impulse and enthusiasm, seeks out new ideas and experiences, destroys convention and complacency, and promotes chaos and unrest. At the same time, the trickster brings new knowledge, wisdom and many
, with ultimately positive effects. Often, the bending/breaking of rules takes the form of tricks or thievery, and their actions often end up
changing
the rules in the process of breaking them, much like an act of "civil disobedience".
Tricksters can be cunning or foolish or both; they are often funny even when considered sacred or performing important cultural tasks. Even if not otherwise punished, they are often prone to

In modern literature, the Trickster survives as a character archetype, ranging from the

The Trickster figure is deeply rooted in the folklore and mythology of every culture; a cosmicjester, a wise fool, a mysterious, mischievous creature, fun-loving and rebellious, and unconstrained by the laws which bound normal men. Sound familiar?

The powers the Great Gazoo commandeers are by definition plot-breaking, so he usually has to be outsmarted or outwitted in order to be defeated. A direct assault never works.
