Happy Tanabata day everyone! Today the seventh day of the seventh month is when we celebrate the tragic love affair between a goddess and a mortal, as a symbol of eternal love. Which makes it a day for lovers to write wishings to each other and hang those wishings on bamboo trees. It is also a day for friends and family to get together in a cycle of love and care. Technically this makes Tanabata a summer Valentine’s day……………. The story of this day varies from country to country. The one I know is that a goddess fell in love with a mortal man and descended from Heaven to be with him. However when the Gods found out, they decreed that the lovers should be separated and the Goddess to return to heaven. However, their love was so genuine and strong that the stars took pity on them and allowed the lovers to meet once a year, every seventh day of the seventh month………….. Lovers especially in Japan and China would don their traditional costumes (^^ yukata in Japan) and go to festivals. Wishes written on colored paper is also a common tradition which are then hung upon bamboo trees. Well……………………to my friends and family, I wish you lots of love and joy *huggles all* And to my special someone, you know what my wishes are ^^…………………..

Niflheim represents both light and darkness, of the celebration and distaste of life, of musings and incoherent thought. It is an outlet for personified angst and pessimism with chuckfuls of laughter and smiles.
It is Taka's way of drawing out all the little disturbing thoughts giving rise to nightmares, a way to self reflect, a way to seek solace.
