Surrealism, a discipline that relies on you, as much as the artist, to decipher the painting. I am always amazed, at how Surrealist Artists manage to represent a message and their symbols in their paintings. Rafal Olbinski is one of these artists, we have no titles for these works, so it is up to you / us to see what these paintings are trying to tell us. The answers each one of us comes up with will be shaped by our lives and experiences. What are these paintings saying to you?

text, captions and fotos by Nat S. HATSUMODE: FIRST SHRINE VISIT OF THE NEW YEAR, TSUBAKI GRAND SHRINE OF AMERICA, GRANITE FALLS, WA Senior Priest, Rev. Lawrence Koichi Barrish performed Oharae at midnight on December 31, and multiple times during the following days of January 1 and 2, 2013. In this period, over 1000 people visited the shrine. View of Mt. Pilchuck on the way to Tsubaki Shrine. Several peaks in the Cascade Range are visible during the drive. The main torii, 23’ high and hewn of logs from Port Orford cedar, stands near Crooked Mile Road. A torii is a gateway to the sacred space of Shinto shrines. (This view looks back towards the road from the pathway to the shrine.) A fire is maintained as a spot for visitors to warm up while walking shrine grounds, or while outside registering and waiting to attend one of the scheduled Oharae (purification ceremony for renewal of life energy and our connection with nature). Visitors pause at a temizuya to scoop fresh water for rinsing their hands and mouth before entering the shrine for Oharae. At the top part of this photograph are shimenawa (rope made from twists of rice straw) and shide (zigzag strips of white paper), hanging actually from a torii in front of the shrine. These indicate a purified space. Visitors walk up the stone steps to enter the shrine for Oharae. A rope, vertically suspended between the blue banner and offertory box, may be swung by visitors to sound a bell. Ringing the bell is part of a sequence which includes bowing and handclapping done in prayer to Okami. Tsubaki Shrine is on the stony banks of the Pilchuk River. Here Jack Frost has edged fallen leaves, like this Big Leaf Maple, with delicate ice crystals. Sacred spirit of an old tree near the Pilchuck River is signified by encircling the trunk with shimenawa and shide.

Back in the good old days, the Koreans were ALMOST as superstitions as the Japanese ! That's alright, just keep praying to your Idols, and don't worry about the Christian Missionaries who hypocritically insist on using a WESTERN CALENDAR whose MONTHS of the Year and DAYS of the Week are all named after PAGAN EUROPEAN GODS !!! These same missionaries also want you to become Christian so they may introduce you to the eternal happiness of Santa Claus, Christmas Trees, and the Easter Bunny. Did I say EASTER, the Pagan Holiday of Sex and Fertility ? I always knew there was something I liked about that Holiday ! I guess Easter Eggs are Christian, too. After all, the New Testament Book of 2nd Hezekiah tells us that the baby chick breaking out of the colored eggs symbolizes Christ coming out of the tomb and conquering death. WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY ? The nation of Korea has NOW become the most "Protestant" Christian Nation in all of Asia ? (The Philippines already has the award for being the most "Catholic" Christian nation in Asia). Wow ! Yes, Virginia...there IS a Santa Clause ! Now, where did I put my lucky American Rabbit's Foot , and my Irish four-leaf clover ? ************************************ Flickr poster WOLFGANGKLANG has commented on the above : "......Regarding your pic: 100 years later. Now KOREAN missionaries are everywhere in the world. Especially in critical countries like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ethiopia and so on. I guess those things are Sowing and harvesting !......."

We've gone mad for Mandalas this week, and in the process of writing our articles on the meaning, history and use of mandalas, we came across two extraordinary artists whose work we had to share. They have much in common - they are both very talented, unique mandala artists - and yet they're also so very different. Bot
