The Dance of Aurora: Media Priestesses and Auric Fields
Psyence Vedava (Independent Research, Greece)
Copyright: © 2022 |Pages: 25
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-8884-0.ch015
Abstract
This chapter suggests that embodied ritual practices of the feminine—involving media, art, psycho-spiritual technologies, and techniques of the occult—manifest transmedial auric fields that weave the dance of Aurora, the dance of awakening of the Goddess of Light. These fields resonate with the universal heart vibe, channeling the healing energies of the cosmic Mother to the physical, the digital, the mental, and the tech-noetic. Specific examples from the work of three women are presented, namely Dr. Lila Moore, Vedava (the author of this chapter) and Sedona Soulfire. These modern creatrixes actualize their media priestess function by fusing consciousness and the imaginative with the ancient and the futuristic, in the convergence of art, body, technology, and 21st century feminine spirituality.

Digital Urban Art in Historic City Centers in Times of Democratic Transition
In the technological advanced modern society, hyperreality represents the inability to distinguish the reality from the simulation of reality or to say it clearly, inability to distinguish the actual world from the virtual world. Due to this phenomenon, some scholars like Paul Virilio (1996) are thinking that virtual spaces can transcend the real spaces and deteriorate them. This leads to a risk of liquidation of the real through the virtual.

The Transformation of Ion Perdicaris to Eden Perdicaris as a Retro Scenario and Orientalist Codes in Art: Woman and East “To Be Saved” From Eastern
The term is used by Baudrillard in order to explain the new kind reality that is not real in fact but fiction and simulated but still takes place of the reality. According to Baudrillard, in postmodern era and with media gaining importance, simulations and perceptions have become more important than facts and truth. Moreover, “Baudrillard (1991) could notoriously claim that the Gulf War did not take place. Behind this rhetorical flourish is a claim that the Gulf War was conducted, not simply under the gaze of television cameras, but rather that it was conducted for those cameras” (Edgar, 2003: 276).
