Manasa Devi

goddess of snakes  156 in Ghost-Eye.  4:02 pm  Earlier today in scrolling on Insta I saw weird sculpture of Hercules fighting massive snakes, created by an earlier Danish artist--can I now find that if I search?  after I added Danish it showed up among host of images on google---

Created by the accomplished Danish sculptor Rudolph Tegner, with first edition started in 1919, in plaster.

Over a decade later the artist proposed that it be recrafted in bronze. Duly done, in 1932 it was unveiled not far from the train station. Due to improvement works around the ferries, it was relocated to the water’s edge in 1994.

Like many works of art, it wasn’t universally liked when unveiled. A lovely aside is that apparently it has received the sobriquet of The Little Person Fighting Tax Administration.

the figures in the Manasa Devi stories are archetypes "who have lives of their own.  They are presences that literally arise out of the land and inscribe their stories upon the world."  Bingo--what Handke is about, has searched for all his life and works.  In his way.  Avoiding the pre-formed variants in the air at the time.  Language about archetypes from F & Jung et al.  

'No, no, Dinu!' she protested.  'Trust me: it's not we who choose the myths that guide our lives; it's they who choose us.  But once you've been chosen, beware, because they'll always be with you.'  161 Shoma to Dinu
