The ancient symbol of Chaos is not represented in Unicode and that makes me mad.
Yes, for the symbol of Law We have ↑, but there is no symbol in which eight arrows all point from a common origin, each at one of the cardinal or intercardinal compass directions.
The best we have is ☸ but it's not made of arrows, is too circley, and is already taken by some stupid supposedly """ancient""" religion.
BAH/Humbug!

Prima o poi avrei dovuto farlo, lo so. Da vecchio ascoltatore di musica Metal non mi potevo esimere dallo scrivere un articolo sul fantasy e l'horror commisto alla musica del "dimonio".
E quindi ecco qua l'articolo: https://cercatoridiatlantide.it/sette-canzoni-metal-ispirate-al-fantasy-e-allhorror/

First posted on https://kaka.farm/posts/finished-reading-elric-of-melnibone.html
Finished reading Elric of Melniboné by Michael Moorcock. It was **so** fun.
The Melnibonians, of which our protagonist, Elric, is the emperor, are an ancient race of psychopathic fey-like men living on an Island - The Dragon Isle.
Their culture widely uses slavery and rape and torture and drugs (for slaves and masters) and dark eldritch magic.
But there is a twist! Elric is not a psychopath like the rest. He is therefore criticised for choosing not to employ many of the psychotically sadistic Melnibonian traditions in daily matters and in matters of military strategy, like a true Melnibonian, like one of his forefathers.
And the status and power of Melniboné is waning, it had been for centuries, and if it continues they might be utterly destroyed.
All of this makes for an interesting read.
Now to the second installment - The Sailor on the Seas of Fate.
Oh, and here is an amusing bit of fun - their head torturer, the thin tall man in charge of extracting secrets through bleeding flesh, is called Doctor Jest! How fun is that? Very!

Latest read, The Visible Men (2006) from The Best of Michael Moorcock. Jerry Cornelius, an English inter-dimensional traveler, rather distractedly discusses the multiverse with his duplicates.
There's a very appealing 60's pop sensibility to the Cornelius stories. I can imagine them being drawn by Peter Max.86 of #400FantasyStories #Fantasy #Moorcock #JerryCornelius #Multiverse #Books #ShortStory #SciFi
