Eighth card in my Mass Effect tarot series is done! Sovereign as The Devil, with Saren and Benezia the classically depicted man and woman enslaved. I originally had The Illusive Man for this card, but saw him better fit for The Moon card. The Devil represents enslavement to raw desires, fear, and giving in to temptation and attachment, which Saren and Benezia both did (albeit later being indoctrinated).

The Devil: This card can mean enslavement, feeling trapped, temptation. The Devil taps into your shadow self and instant gratification at the expense of long term sustainability. It can highlight the fear your feel of breaking free of the control of The Devil. The man and woman typically have loose chains, which they could easily escape from if only they chose to reject the shadow self's temptation and fear.

I wish Darrow knew just how territorial Virginia is about their marriage.

He gets a tad insecure about Virginia wasting precious holo time to pay attention to someone other than him - leader duties and all that - and back home, she goes into a monologue as to why Valdir sucks for claiming to love Darrow and betraying him out of resentment.

They are perfect, I love them.

Let's talk about The Morrígu and Sovereignty

I've noticed a trend over the years among those who work with the Morrígu (especially among Americans, probably because you know 'freedom') where the word sovereignty gets thrown around a lot in some.... odd contexts...

For example "You should never worry about telling her no, she's the goddess of sovereignty she'll respect your decisions EVERYTIME!"

I've always found this very confusing since... She literally brings down her full wrath against Cu Chulainn for rejecting her advances/boons and becoming the high king (and being symbolically married to her)... wasn't a choice... the druids would preform a ceremony and receive divine visions of the future high king and I've NEVER heard of it being turned down.

So lets look at a few definitions;

First for Sovereignty

Sovereignty, though its meanings have varied across history, also has a core meaning, supreme authority within a territory. It is a modern notion of political authority. Historical variants can be understood along three dimensions — the holder of sovereignty, the absoluteness of sovereignty, and the internal and external dimensions of sovereignty. The state is the political institution in which sovereignty is embodied. An assemblage of states forms a sovereign states system.

-from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

vs. Individual Sovereignty

'sovereignty of the individual, 'individual sovereignty' or self-sovereignty is generally understood to imply one's property rights including self-ownership also called negative sovereignty, but also includes the rejection of or freedom from positive sovereignty where negative sovereignty includes property rights and positive sovereignty includes the right to subjugate people to command obedience or sovereign rule

- from Wikipedia

The concept of Individual Sovereignty (sometimes called self ownership) is primarily a legal and political philosophy that has grown out of other individualist philosophies. So it would be pretty obvious why it resonates with modern peoples (Americans especially).

Now back to The Morrígu. They are not deities of INDIVIDUAL sovereignty, but classical sovereignty. They empower the kings (high kings especially) to rule the land and are the acting forces which remove kings in the event that they don't uphold the divine expectations of their position (such as true judgments).

Don't believe me? Still thinking to yourself "yes but The Morrígu would never expect me to give up my individual sovereignty, they're empowering." In that case I won't even direct you back to the story of Cu Chulainn, instead we'll look at Macha, wife of Cruinniuc. When she is brought to the horse race, obviously pregnant and asks the king not to make her prove her husbands boasts he declines her request. If The Morrígu were interested in individual sovereignty over sovereignty this would have been a perfect moment to show that. Instead Macha does as her king demands and runs the race, but in her divine aspect she curses not just that king (for his mistreatment of those under him, ie. a pregnant woman) but also all his men and their descendents.

The idea of The Morrígu is not some super individualized empowerment allowing you to defy the authority of those around you (including the gods), the core value is one of justice for those who ARE tread on by Sovereign powers. This may feel like splitting hairs but I assure you the distinction is one worth thinking about, and possibly even changing the way you speak about The Morrígu.

One Dress a Day Challenge

August: Fantasy & Sci-Fi

Guardians of the Galaxy, vol. 2 / Elizabeth Debicki as High Priestess Ayesha

Ayesha and her people, the Sovereign, only appear in a few short scenes in this film, but they are extremely memorable, and the visual design plays a large part in that effect. This gown was made mostly of leather.

The designer, Judianna Makovsky, had this to say in an interview: "I wanted it to have a very metallic and intricate feel. One of the things that James Gunn said is that 'everything in the world is gold.' But we didn't want it to look like Las Vegas. So it wasn't going to be sequin-sparkly, anything like that. But also, we wanted something that was quite sexy as well as being armor. We were also paying a bit of homage to Flash Gordon. Everybody seems to love Flash Gordon, so I wanted to keep it in that world.... We had two versions of skirt: one for sitting and one for standing. One that would fully tulip all the way around and one that was flatter in the back. So it was pretty either way."

Elizabeth Debicki also commented that the costume helped her to get in character: "The restrictions in a costume like that, the corset element of it, the severity of the angles of it and even the weight of it, completely informs how you move because you can' t do certain things in it, which then indicates the type of person you are. When you think of the logic of that character, you wonder why she wears something like that. But it's because she' s informing her people the type of queen she is. It completely changes your physicality, though. I didn' t really feel like Ayesha in a way until I put that dress on and then sat on that throne. Then I really knew what she was all about."
