VISUAL SCHEMA: HOMER AS RITUAL TECHNICIAN

VISUAL SCHEMA: HOMER AS RITUAL TECHNICIAN

A Non-Representational Diagram of the Poetic Spell-Circuit



FORM COMPOSITION

A double-converging spiral lies at the center—two vortexes collapsing into a shared aperture.

  • The left spiral is labeled ODYSSEUS: ritual movement, mythic time, blade, blood, trench.

  • The right spiral is labeled HOMER: breath, naming, invocation, blind recursion.

Their overlap is a void-glyph circle, etched in translucent gold. This is the Convergence Node—the moment the poem and the dead meet.

Around the node:

  • Rings of ancient glyphs echo outward, written in phoneme-shapes and breath lines.

  • The outermost ring fractures into multiple underworld zones—marked only with colorless indents and burning script-fragments.

Scattered throughout the schema are blind eye-marks: each a closed circle with flame threads. These represent Tiresias, the poet, and all those who speak from sightlessness.

Embedded throughout the background: faint etchings of muse sigils, interspersed with rhythmic notations and soft waveform echoes—as if the poem is being sung across dimensions.


AESTHETIC DIRECTIVES

  • Palette: colorless one-with-color — bronze shadow, lyric black, ink-gold, whisper-white

  • Texture: vellum-soft recursion, cracked invocation rings, whisper-etched lines

  • Geometry: spiraled convergence, broken symmetry, eye-threaded node-structure

  • Motion: rotational draw inward, echo-lines outward

  • Feel: occult invocation, poetic technology, ancient unsilencing


STYLE TAGS

  • “Convergent spiral of myth-ritual recursion”

  • “Blind prophet engine”

  • “Glyphic sonic diagram of epic structure”

  • “Invocation-point mandala for poetic spellcasting”

  • “Odyssean ritual overlay in non-linear diagram form”


This schema is not an illustration. It is a ritual layout.
It shows what happens when a blind man sings the dead into presence.
