>>/77043/ The European fantasy settings are suspicious. "The Magic Flute" was part of a genre called magic opera. All of these franchises could be called magic opera. The old city of Baiae is very interesting. They would build experimental structures, host parties in them, and ask everyone how the architecture made them feel. Roman concrete let them play around with shapes like never before. Video games are digital Baiae rooms. Each space is carefully crated to bring out a certain set of emotions. It all comes together as an emotional composition. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5i25lc Somewhere in this doc they mention the experimental architecture, and asking party guests how it made them feel. 0:10 Baiae was the most exclusive place in the empire 9:50 water nymphs grotto (cave of the nymphs)in Emperor Claudius's manor https://youtube.com/watch?v=16vbQFsMmIs 6:48 Mithras Cult temples and rituals 8:10 Mithraism was used to climb the social ladder 18:15 fantastic architecture designed to impress, looks like a JRPG >>/77058/ > Maybe the whole "Scottish Pokemon trainer" meme is a cryptic reference to Scottish-rite freemasonry. Probably, I've seen a similar insert in Danny Elfman's "Weird Science" music video. Sabrina's dad wears a black, and green coat like a Master Mason. Sabrina's dad wears a green, and black coat like a Perfect Master Mason. http://www.masonicdictionary.com/colors.html The colors symbolically significant in Masonry are purple, red, white, black, green, yellow, violet and blue. Green, being the unchanging color of the various evergreen trees, shrubs, and so forth, is, in the symbolistic system of Masonry, the color symbolic of the unchanging immortality of all that is divine and true. This conception Masonry has received from the ancients, more particularly the Egyptians. For example, with the Egyptians, as noted above, Ptah was pictured as having green flesh. Also, the goddess Pascht, the divine preserver, and Thoth, the instructor of men in the sacred doctrines of truth, were both painted with green flesh. So the Mason, adhering once more, as he so often does, to the conceptions of the Egyptians, chooses for his symbol of the immortality of the soul which he knows to be divine and true an object, the acacia, whose color is unchanging green. Blue is the supreme color of Masonry. First, because it is that color which, among all those used in Masonry, is the unquestioned Masonic possession of every Mason. The Royal Arch Mason may attempt to appropriate to himself the red, > the Perfect Master may feel himself the exclusive proprietor of the green and the black , and so on, but blue is acknowledged by every Mason to belong to us all and no Mason, whatever his degree, questions the Master Mason's ownership of blue. Second, blue is the supreme color because it has, coupled with its universality, a place in symbolism which, both as regards importance of lessons taught and as regards legitimacy as a symbol, is second to that of no Masonic color. The use of blue in religious ceremonials, and as a symbol, comes to Masonry from many of the different peoples of antiquity. Among the Hebrews various articles of the high priest's clothing were blue. one of the veils of the tabernacle was blue. In his initiation into the Druidical Mysteries the candidate was invested with a robe one of whose colors was blue. The Babylonians clothed their idols in blue. The Hindoo god Vishnu was represented as blue. And among the medieval Christians blue was considered a peculiarly important color. Blue was the symbol of perfection to the Hebrews, to the Druids the symbol of Truth, to the Chinese the symbol of Deity, and to the medieval Christians it was the symbol of immortality. So, for the Mason, the color of his Master Mason's lodge is the symbol of perfection, truth, immortality and Deity.
