In Jewish folklore, a golem is an animated anthropomorphic being that is magically created entirely from inanimate matter (specifically clay or mud).
The most famous golem narrative involves Judah Loew ben Bezalel, the late 16th century rabbi of Prague, also known as the Maharal, who reportedly created a golem to defend the Prague ghetto from antisemitic attacks.
Depending on the version of the legend, the Jews in Prague were to be either expelled or killed under the rule of Rudolf II, the Holy Roman Emperor. To protect the Jewish community, the rabbi constructed the Golem out of clay from the banks of the Vltava river, and brought it to life through rituals and Hebrew incantations.
The Golem was called Josef and was known as Yossele. It was said that he could make himself invisible and summon spirits from the dead.
The Golem’s body was stored in the attic genizah of the Old New Synagogue, where it would be restored to life again if needed. According to legend, the body of Rabbi Loew’s Golem still lies in the synagogue’s attic.
A recent legend tells of a Nazi agent ascending to the synagogue attic during World War II and trying to stab the Golem, but he died instead.
The Hebrew letters on the creature’s head read “emet”, meaning “truth”. In some versions of the Chełm and Prague narratives, the Golem is killed by removing the first letter, making the word spell “met”, meaning “dead”.
I recently realized I’ve never posted a single piece of fanart for Good Omens, even though it’s one of my favorite books ever. So now I’ve remedied that 🙂
Okay, how the hell. This is THE most crystal clear version of Smile Bomb I’ve listened to, and the creditless opening video is also like SHARP, like holy shit this is as if it were released TODAY type of clarity and it’s messing with me.
Can I just say how utterly iconic Yu Yu Hakusho is, like I’ve barely watched the series and seen the characters but I can remember most of the characters I know in vivid detail as far as design and powers go and that’s just amazing to me
(link is the song i was listening to on loop until this was finished, i headcannon that he likes this particular sound but is super ashamed of it cause it doesn’t match his aesthetic lmfao)
CAUSE I SERIOUSLY NEEDED SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU GUYS.
Don’t forget that drinking plenty of water and tea, eating a healthy diet and daily exercise will make a HUGE difference with your complexion. Touching your face frequently is also a big no-no. Everyone’s skin is different, so experiment with your own treatment routines and find what best suits you!! I think this is a topic that’s almost taboo to talk about, but everyone has it, so we might as well help each other out with what we’ve found successful, right!?
