Today whilst I was walking, listening to music, and dreaming up stories I started thinking about how much mysticism is still prevalent in my life and I've decided to scar my body in honor of it all.

The tattoo agenda:

Right hand, middle finger: The Green Lantern ring symbol. The symbolism is multifaceted. Green Lantern represents many things, particularly the power of making your will manifest in the material world. This is pretty big in magical theory as well, and with the exception of the index finger I'd say no finger gives a better message to the world as the middle finger. While it is true that the index is more symbolic of the will to direct, the middle finger is better at expressing disregard for authority and self-rule, the ideal of Anarchy in which everyone rules themselves volutarily, not because they are forced to by an arbitrary governing body.

Left shoulder: Ghostbusters logo. Ghosts represent to me not spooky supernatural entities (whether or not they exist, I'm not certain), but rather illusions of ignorance and the mind which keep people trapped in cycles of suffering. Plus, as a kid, I just loved the Ghostbusters, and I still want to be one to this day. Now they have come to represent the triumph of man over fear, and the facing down of the unknown to cast the light of our conscious upon it, transmuting it into the light itself.

Right shoulder: The emblem of the Rebel Alliance. I think it speaks for itself in regards with its synergy with the other tattoos.

Chest: The Elder Sign, the ward used to consecrate places and things in the Cthulhu Mythos, and seal them off from the power of the dreaded Old Ones and Outer Gods. By placing it over my heart it represents the fact that I have armed myself with the powers of enlightened understanding, compassionate commitment, and devotion to action against the forces that would seek to enslave the minds and bodies of humanity.

Suck it, Old Ones. This house is cleansed.
