Hi! Long time sci-fi fan (read old man). Do you think you could find the original dust cover art for J. G. Ballard's book, The Crystal World," and post it, please? I remember thinking it the most oddly beautiful piece when I first saw it, but it's been decades ago, and it still retains a space in my head. Thanks so much!

Yeah, here it is! It's from 1966, by German surrealist Max Ernst:

I actually indirectly referenced this cover in the opening pages of my book on 70s sci-fi art -- after Richard Powers started the trend of surrealist science fiction cover art in the 50s, a lot of other publishers jumped on it, and some went as far as to get fine artists like Ernst rather than illustrators. Good eye, it's really a standout cover!

STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody" behind the scenes

"It's such a cool concept. It's not a musical episode. It is an episode about very real people being stuck in a musical experience." - Anson Mount, The Ready Room interview, Aug 3 2023

One fun thing about The Dark Crystal is that it’s not exactly the evil skeksis and the good mystics. It’s the cruel skeksis and the gentle mystics. It’s the mystics, who study and ponder and chant and don’t really do any harm, but don’t do any good, either, because all the drive to do anything got ripped out of them; and then the skeksis, who are all drive and hunger and probably can’t stop themselves because all their impulse control is off meditating on the other side of the planet.

#the dark crystal #still salty the series got cancelled!!#yeah I know how it has to end up because it’s a prequel but I still want to see HOW #also puppets are great and the world is so interesting

CRYSTAL READING: If you choose the career you have in mind, how will it be ? 🔍

Pick a stone :

1. Labradorite group

I see lots of hectic movements and talking.

Maybe some interviews, 1 on 1 talk.

You may need to use your verbal or writing skills a lot.

There will always be some elements of changes in this career. It will never stay stagnant or boring. Working time and place will varied, you could even do it from your home.

The daily jobs can be quite fast-paced, so be sure to take care of your health. You will need to build some stable routine to deal with this.

Your home will be a sanctuary for you.

This career will bring in financial abundance for you through both your own efforts and help from others.

At first, you may feel some doubts or fears regarding this career, will it bring enough security for me ? Will I be qualified for this ?

There will be trials and pressure from the community that you will be working with. And this community will be large. You might constantly work with a large crowd or do some social work.

This will test your commitment for sure, but the community will give you lots of love just as much.

Also, from the outside perspective, this job can be quite glamorized. A certain aesthetic will be attached to this job.

2. Flourite group

Some people or even yourself will sometimes think that rational thinking has been chucked out of the window when choosing this career. But you will still feel that this is the right choice. My life is exactly where it should be.

To choose this career is to completely change your way of thinking and even your environment surrounding you.

I see the spread looks like the head of a bird with something in its beak.

This career has a very glamorous image to it.

At its core, this career sells dreams and ephemeral visuals or feelings to people.

You will be like a bird grabbing these dreams in its beak to offer to the audiences or customers.

And these dreams birthed from your creativity, there will be lots of creative works.

The environment you work in will be quite mysterious and intimate, could even look like a witch's kitchen or lab. There will be close bonds with the people involved.

The financial aspect will be unpredictable but fulfilled. This job will not bring a fixed, stable monthly income. Fortune would come suddenly.

This will feel more like an adventure than just a job.

3. Moonstone group

External force would bring you into this career. Here, you will need to expose yourself, your light fully, honestly.

To be a teacher to others.

You will be seen by many people, your life will have some certain public aspects.

There will be lots of talking, teaching, counselling and some travelling. You will bring transformation to others.

But you would find it hard to ground yourself, some sudden change would come to your home life, with some travelling, maybe you will change living locations a lot for this job.

It will take lots of commitment and discipline to make this job a stable part of your life.

Spirituality could become a daily practice.

For a job that requires lots of contact with people, you should be mindful of personal boundaries and careful not to let confusion seep into communication with others.
