It is precisely here
Here on this body
Right where it is that the
Numen is distributed and
Disjunctions are established
Independent of any
Sort of projection
— Gilles Deleuze

Sacred Object

Posted on March 27, 2011 by ubu507

Deep Sea Black Coral

Japan

This object was once venerated as the physical embodiment of the deity enshrined in a Shinto sanctuary. The identity of the god himself is unknown. This object was never viewed by the worshippers, and represents a species of coral that thrives in especially deep water.
