Librarian of Celaeno

What is the Library of Celaeno?

The Library of Celaeno is a cosmic, haunted repository of knowledge. It is cosmic in the sense of the Greek κόσμος, all that which is universal and pertains to human life, as well as being cosmic in terms of being located in the Pleiades. It is haunted in the sense of bearing the presence of unrealized possibilities, hoped-for-futures unmanifested, and the echoing voice of the past. It is a dead mall in a Roman ruin, where the sounds of symphonic vaporwave rebound against the dusty, cyclopean stacks, and candles flicker in fluorescent recesses. It is the Backrooms where the wise seek to hang nine days from drop-ceiling frames, pierced by curtain rods, for a chance to drink from the well of a liminal pool. It is a holy place; cigar smoke is its incense, its Lares are the nameless transcribers of ancient wisdom who whisper in the ears of those who would shun the noise of the world. It is not found by looking, but when one ceases to look elsewhere.

Dwina Murphy-Gibb

Meet an Amazing Irish Writer and Artist

There’s a talented woman from Ireland who creates the most beautiful poetry and stories, her name is Dwina Murphy-Gibb. She uses her amazing creativity in her Substack publication. Her writing is not just about fun characters or exciting adventures; it also touches on deep ideas and lessons about life and the world around us.

What’s really cool about her is how she connects her work to ancient languages and teachings. She studies things like Ogham, which is a really old writing system used by the Irish, and the Vedas, which are important texts from India. By using these ancient ideas, she helps people understand how different cultures can be connected and how wisdom from the past can help us today.

Besides writing poetry, she is also a playwright and an artist. This means she not only writes stories but also brings them to life on stage!

In a world that often feels noisy and busy, her stories remind us to slow down and pay attention. Through her poems and plays, she shows us that art can help us express our feelings and connect with each other. She is truly an inspiring person, and her work helps us see the beauty in our lives and the world around in our lives and the world around us!
