In response, charismatic individuals developed cults among remote Melanesian populations that promised to bestow on their followers deliveries of food, arms, Jeeps, etc. The cult leaders explained that the cargo would be gifts from their own ancestors, or other sources, as had occurred with the outsider armies. In attempts to get cargo to fall by parachute or land in planes or ships again, islanders imitated the same practices they had seen the <a title="Soldier" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldier">soldiers</a>, <a title="Sailor" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailor">sailors</a>, and airmen use. Cult behaviors usually involved mimicking the day to day activities and dress styles of US soldiers, such as performing parade ground drills with wooden or salvaged rifles.<sup id="cite_ref-4"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult#cite_note-4">[5]</a></sup> The islanders carved <a title="Headphone" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headphone">headphones</a> from wood and wore them while sitting in fabricated control towers.

Each book takes you a little deeper into a dark fairy tale that is based upon my own love of the idea that there exists a world beneath the world. This idea that sometimes a door is not just a mundane door but an entrance to someplace we reserve for our dreams. The story, at its heart, is a simple one. It revolves around one sister trying to find her sister who has become lost. She must follow the same path her sister has set out on going a little farther into this underground world of dark cabarets and strange theaters as she attempts to catch up to her sister, who is falling faster down this path in her desire to finally find a performer known as the Black Ibis. The story is absurd at times, illustrated in my particular style and filled with my legion of wonky characters and enigmatic performers.</p> <p>Bajema has launched <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1835434564/the-black-ibis-project">a Kickstarter project</a> to support the printing of the first book and the Tarot Deck. Although Bajema has already reached her modest goal of $2K, the fundraiser still has 3 days left to go. Pledge rewards include signed metallic prints, graphic novels, decks, original sketches, handmade deck boxes, pages of artwork from the novel, and even a chance to appear in one scene in a cabaret scene in the final chapter of the graphic novel.</p> <p>As the fundraiser continues, Bajema has been revealing more and more cards from the deck on Twitter. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://twitter.com/#!/ettadiem">Follow her</a> for the latest!</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </div> <p class="postmetadata"> Posted by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://coilhouse.net/?page_id=26#nadya"> Nadya Lev</a> on April 18th, 2011 <br> Filed under <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://coilhouse.net/category/art/" title="View all posts in Art" rel="category tag">Art</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://coilhouse.net/category/coilhouse/" title="View all posts in Coilhouse" rel="category tag">Coilhouse</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://coilhouse.net/category/crowdsourcing/" title="View all posts in Crowdsourcing" rel="category tag">Crowdsourcing</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://coilhouse.net/category/fairy-tales/" title="View all posts in Fairy Tales" rel="category tag">Fairy Tales</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://coilhouse.net/category/steampunk/" title="View all posts in Steampunk" rel="category tag">Steampunk</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://coilhouse.net/category/victoriana/" title="View all posts in Ye Olde" rel="category tag">Ye Olde</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://coilhouse.net/2011/04/bethalynne-bajemas-black-ibis-tarot-deck/#respond" title="Comment on Bethalynne Bajema’s Black Ibis Tarot Deck">Comments (0)</a> </p> </div> <div><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354im_/http://coilhouse.net/wp-content/themes/coilhouse/lines.jpg" width="400"></div> <div class="post" id="post-23253"> <h2><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://coilhouse.net/2011/04/a-whimsical-alarming-resonance-sandra-kasturi/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to A Whimsical, Alarming Resonance: Sandra Kasturi">A Whimsical, Alarming Resonance: Sandra Kasturi</a></h2> <div class="entry"> <p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23262" title="animal bridegroom" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354im_/http://coilhouse.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/animal-bridegroom.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="522"/></p> <p>In Sandra Kasturi’s first full length poetry collection, <em>The Animal Bridegroom</em>, one finds all manner of fantastical creatures –shapeshifters, changelings goddesses, and monsters– juxtaposed with the quotidian and the mundane. Myth intersects with reality, resulting in outlandish dream worlds, unexpected bedtime stories, and everyday affairs elevated to the exotic and the surreal.</p> <p>In his introduction to the collection, Neil Gaiman writes:</p> <blockquote><p>“…People forget the joy of story as they grow older. They forget the joy of poetry, of finding the perfect word, of turning a phrase, like a potter turning a pot on a wheel, and they believe mistakenly that poetry is not pleasure, but work , or worse, something good for you but unpleasant tasting, like cod-liver oil.</p> <p>Sandra Kasturi has not forgotten any of these things.”</p></blockquote> <p>Sandra has three poetry chapbooks published, as well as the well-received SF poetry anthology, <em>The Stars As Seen from this Particular Angle of Night</em>, which she edited. Her poetry has appeared in various magazines and anthologies, and her cultural essay, “Divine Secrets of the Yaga Sisterhood” appeared in the anthology <em>Girls Who Bite Back: Witches, Slayers, Mutants and Freaks</em>. Sandra is a founding member of the Algonquin Square Table poetry workshop and runs her own imprint, Kelp Queen Press. She has also received several Toronto Arts Council grants, and a Bram Stoker Award for her editorial work at <em>ChiZine: Treatments of Light and Shade in Words</em>. As an evolution of <em>ChiZine</em>, ChiZine Publications (CZP) “emerged on the Canadian publishing” scene in 2009. To quote from their philosophy:</p> <blockquote> <p style="text-align: left;">“CZP doesn’t want what’s hot now or stuff that’s so weird it’s entirely out in la-la-land—we want the next step forward. Horror that isn’t just gross or going for a cheap scare, but fundamentally disturbing, instilling a sense of true dread. Fantasy that doesn’t need elves or spells or wizards to create a world far removed or different than ours. Just a slight skewing of our world, handled properly, is far more effective at creating that otherworldly sense for which we strive.”</p> </blockquote> <p style="text-align: left;">Sandra generously gave of her time to talk with us about the slightly skewed otherworld she inhabits; very see below the cut for our recent Q&A.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354/http://coilhouse.net/2011/04/a-whimsical-alarming-resonance-sandra-kasturi/#more-23253" class="more-link"> <div class="moar"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218052354im_/http://coilhouse.net/wp-content/themes/coilhouse/images//readtherest.jpg"/></div> <p></a></p> </div> <p class="postmetadata"> Posted by Guest Blogger: S.
