Hi all,
Just helping to promote this amazing new and very unique project that focuses on NFTs that are based on Esoteric Knowledge.
Though there are four main areas of the project, it is currently focused on the following two:
- Esoteric Art
- Esoverse (Esoteric Metaverse)
For the Art NFT, they are produced by a very gifted artist named Saja for which I already made a post highlighting one of his works entitled 'Celestial Power'. New art NFT have recently been minted and can be seen at esoteric-gateway.com/esoart/esoart.html. Here are a few of them:
The project also has very unique and special NFTs in its Esoverse (Esoteric Metaverse) space:
In this section, there are 12 "mini-verses" in which NFTs are categorized according to esoteric themes. Descriptions of each of these mini-verses can be found on the project's page.
Esoverse NFTs have unlocked contents in the form of infused esoteric knowledge that only the buyer/owner is privy to. This is what makes them very unique a special to hold as collectibles.
Here are a few examples:
Title: Thyrsus (sacred object)
Category: Curioverse
Description: In Greek mythology a thyrsus is a staff entwined by ivy vines and topped by a pine cone carried by Dionysus (Roman: Bacchus) and his followers. It can go by several names such as the Wand of Hermes (Egyptian: Thoth) or Staff of Osiris. A varied version called Caduceus (Staff of Asclepius) is often seen with intertwined snakes in lieu of the vines and is recognized as a universal symbol of medicine. Different parts of the thyrsus represent different things and the sacred object is considered to hold elusive and mystical powers. But what are these forces and what can come of them?
Title: Incantation bowl
Category: Curioverse
Description: During late antique Babylonia (from the 2nd to 8th centuries) in what is today Iraq, some inhabitants made use of incantation bowls - sometimes referred to as magic bowls - primarily to ward off demons such as the very powerful Lilith. They were also employed as a means of protection against illness, disease, curses of sorcerers, to secure love, money, or even to curse adversaries. The bowls were produced by scribes who wrote the incantations or spells (which often included the names of specific demons and deities called upon for assistance) in ink in a circular fashion from the rim along the inner surface of the bowl all the way down to its center. An image of a demon bound in chains was commonly found at the bottom in the center of the bowl. To be employed for full effect, the bowls were often produced in a set of four and buried face down at each corner of the afflicted's house trapping the demon and ensuring it could not enter the premises. That being said, did the incantation bowls really work? And, how were they infused with magical powers for desired effect? Can home-made incantation bowls still work in this day and age?
When the purchaser buys the NFT, s/he will be able to unlock the secret esoteric knowledge associated with the item and also get a high-resolution image..
What do you think?
With Bitcoin, ETH, & Altcoins moving sideways as of late, NFTs are becoming more and more of a great means by which to diversify one's investment portfolio.
Plus, with Ethereum gas fees being extremely low these days, purchasing NFTs can be done at very low cost.
Anyway, just thought I would share this very unique project with you today.
