Anagathusia

Anagathusia is a short art film by Jesse Waugh starring Gerardo Alberto Nuñez.

Agathusia means 'noble sacrifice' - like seppuku or sati or harakiri (hari kari). So by anagathusia I mean wasteful, ignoble suicide despite any good intentions. Anagathusia would include pointless self-sacrifice. I apply this concept to the current situation facing the West, in which it suffers from what I would describe as "suicidal altruism".

What positive entities must realize is that there is NOTHING we can do to fill the abyss of the negative. Attempts to satiate it by force are unnatural and born of hubris. If we love ourselves, others and nature, then it behooves us to accept that gender is balance, and that hives manifest hierarchies. We can fight that Truth all we want, but such a fight can only end in self-destruction.

Self-sacrifice may or may not have served a valid purpose for humanity in the past. But it is a form of human sacrifice no matter how you look at it. Individuals sacrificing themselves for the group seems like an insect behavior to me. Perhaps it is hubris on my part to think we can come up with a better solution.

CROWLEY'S INFERNO

“the wickedest man in the world”

Edward Alexander Crowley (12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947) AKA Aleister Crowley was a notorious English occultist who died in Hastings and was cremated at Brighton Woodvale Crematorium.

No one knows what happened to his ashes - it is rumoured that they were spread at sea -- presumably in Brighton or Hastings. Another rumour states that they were sent to Crowley’s spiritual successor Karl Germer - who took over as the head of Crowley’s Ordo Templi Orientis cult - and who buried them in his New Jersey garden.

Jesse Waugh gained access to the Woodvale Crematorium records and found Crowley’s ashes were “Taken away” by a certain L. Wilkinson on the 5th of December, 1947, after a Black Mass had been performed in Crowley’s honour.

_________________________________

Crowley’s Inferno is an exploration of time and space. It depicts the crematorium where “the wickedest man in the world” - as he was dubbed by the press - Aleister Crowley’s body was cremated. It is still in use, and continues to billow out large quantities of heat from its smoke stacks.

POSTHUMOUS

Posthumous is a succession of Spring-flowering bulbs at a graveyard in Brighton, England. It symbolizes the Phoenix of Beauty rising from the ashes of dead Conceptualism.

It is filmed in a deliberately careless way, in mimicry of Nature's own brazenly prolific, but haphazard reproductive tendencies. It is meant as a complement to Crowley's Inferno, and is filmed in the same cemetery where Aleister Crowley was cremated.

POLISHING THE CONCEPT

Polishing the Concept is footage of me breaking.

BEAUTY SUBLIME

Beauty Sublime is harmony between exalted opposites.

JESSE WAUGH REEL 2015

Clips from almost all my movies! Featuring footage from my film works 1994-2014.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DEBUSSY

I composed this piece on Claude Debussy's birthday August 22, 2014. Debussy has been my favourite artist and composer since I first heard his Nocturnes Sirènes when I was 11 years old, and called the radio station to find out what it was!

Although it's well known that he disliked being labelled as an Impressionist, I've included works by Monet in the video as I think they go well with the music.

REQUIEM FOR THE MACKINTOSH LIBRARY

I had the opportunity to visit the Mackintosh Library in the Glasgow School of Art in December, 2013, several months before it was destroyed by fire. It was an atmospheric room, and one of the premier examples of Art Nouveau interiors in the world.

I used footage I'd taken during my visit, along with an original musical composition of mine to put together this video piece which I call REQUIEM FOR THE MACKINTOSH LIBRARY.

JAPANESE TEA GARDEN

Japanese Tea Garden is a night peregrination through a Shinto garden haunted with stone lantern Kami spirits, where you will be surrounded by plopping frogs, shedding acers, tapping water deer-scarers, and crickets, before a secret tea ceremony takes place in a softly glowing tea house hidden inside a grove of bamboo.

THE RAIN TEMPLE

The Rain Temple: Et in Arcadia ego is an attempt to recreate the feeling I felt as a child when I went to the Japanese Tea Gardens in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. There was no more beautiful place in the world than the Japanese Tea Gardens in the rain.

The Rain Temple was filmed at the Temple of Arcadia on The Path of Enlightenment at Torrigiani Gardens in Florence, Italy, during a March rainstorm, 2013.

THE TORRIGIANI TOWER OF ATHANOR

Witness the beautiful Temple of Arcadia, the ethereal Path of Enlightenment, as well as the astounding history and function of Torrigiani Garden's Baccani Tower - otherwise known as The Tower of Athanor. Was human sacrifice a part of the alchemical ritual enacted in the oven of this beautiful Tower of Athanor? Is this the Bohemian Grove of Italy?

Marquis Vanni Torrigiani Malaspina, descendent of a long line of Florentine Italian noblemen who is one of the primary custodians of the beautiful Torrigiani Gardens in Florence, Italy, takes us on the garden's Path of Enlightenment, and explains the esoteric significance of the estate's plethora of arcane iconography - including the awe-inspiring Torrigiani Tower of Athanor - a colossal 19th century alchemical oven in which bodies were burned as purification.

The Giardino Torrigiani is the largest privately held urban estate in Europe. Next time you're in Florence, be sure to visit the wonderful Torrigiani Gardens - following is their website: http://www.giardinotorrigiani.it

THE THIRD TEMPLE

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE NEW AGE: Jesse Waugh's THE THIRD TEMPLE is an inauguration of the dawning Age of Aquarius which began Dec. 21, 2012.

Filmed at numerous Egyptian temples and pyramids, at the site of Oracle of Delphi in Greece, and in the City of Moshiach, Jerusalem - THE THIRD TEMPLE is a loving homage to Kenneth Anger's Lucifer Rising.

Jesse Waugh's THE THIRD TEMPLE Starring Anwar Usman is inspired by Lucifer Rising by Kenneth Anger. Shot principally in Egypt, at numerous Ancient Egyptian temples up and down the Nile, THE THIRD TEMPLE employs Angerian archetypes established in Lucifer Rising and other works, in an attempt to ceremonially bring on the New Age of Aquarius.

The ritualistic love power exchange between Pharaoh (in this case Akhenaten) and Queen (in this case Nefertiti) which was the crux of Lucifer Rising is supplanted by an embodiment of The Sacred Hermaphrodite enacting both roles against itself.

THE THIRD TEMPLE is an inauguration of the coming reestablishment and rebuilding of King Solomon's Temple for the third time at the site of the current Dome of The Rock.

THE THIRD TEMPLE Soundtrack can be downloaded from Archive.org. More info here.

NILE DRIFT

Ever wondered what the Nile looks like?

NILE DRIFT is a relaxing journey down the River Nile from Luxor to Aswan and back. Experience the beauty and deep tranquillity of the banks of the Nile as you pass by hundreds of miles of verdant scenery and desert landscapes, while egrets fly past, reeds rustle in the wind, and palm trees sway in the breeze.

RAINBOW

RAINBOW is the second music video from the Jesse Waugh album Butterflies & Rainbows (For Poppy) available for download at jessewaugh.com. It features a beautiful rainbow recorded at the mystical Alderley Edge - a druid center since ancient times - in Cheshire, England.

BANG BANG JELLYFISH

BANG BANG JELLYFISH is a motion picture work by Jesse Waugh featuring imagery of sea anemones, leafy sea dragons, and jellyfish taken at the Lisbon Oceanarium. The movie is scored with a recording of Jesse Waugh playing instruments at a musical playground outside of the Oceanarium, also entitled "BANG BANG JELLYFISH".

POISON DART FROGS

Poison Dart Frogs have to be the most candied, seemingly artificial little animals on the planet. They look like they're made of plastic. I once chased one around a white sand forest in the Amazon!

These are happy inhabitants of the Lisbon Oceanarium. I made a little video of them complete with froggy musical accompaniment.

NEON TETRAS

Neon tetras are my favorite fish. They are native to the western Amazon region in Peru, Columbia, and Brazil. They iridesce blue similar to Morphos, and also have a bright red stripe. They are otherwise completely transparent.

SPECTRUM

"SPECTRUM" piano music from the album "Butterflies & Rainbows (For Poppy). Music composed, recorded, and video filmed by Jesse Waugh. Featuring "Whenever the rainbow appears" - 360 narrow oil paintings by Olafur Eliasson, which together compose a color spectrum on canvas, on show at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.

SOUTHERN SWALLOWTAIL BUTTERFLY

Southern Swallowtail Butterfly (Iphiclides feisthamelii) recorded in Jardim Amalia Rodrigues in Lisbon, Portugal, by Jesse Waugh. Includes the tune "Swallowtail" by Jesse Waugh.

RAINBOW DECAY

RAINBOW DECAY: Signalling The End of The Age of Pisces are a series of paintings by artist Jesse Waugh. Allowed to age and decay for an entire year in a humid rural building on the Somerset Levels within the town limits of Glastonbury, the RAINBOW DECAY paintings emerged in 2012 as an entity of their own--revealing unforeseen colours and harkening to a New Beauty for the Age of Aquarius.

TRANQUIL TURN TOUR

Tranquil Turn was my beautiful art studio in an old tumbledown English cottage on the edge of Glastonbury, Somerset, England. It will always be very special to me

I built Tranquil Turn Temple toward the back of the complex, which was a function of The Fruitarian Society, and was dedicated to the worship of fruit.

WHITE SPRING

The White Spring is across from the Chalice Well. The interior of a Victorian reservoir set up to combat a cholera epidemic in 19th century Glastonbury has been redesigned using sacred geometry into a water temple unlike any other on the planet. It is an astoundingly beautiful place.
The interior is very dark and only lit by candles, so the footage in this video is dark. But it gives you a taste of the profound tranquillity inside this most beautiful Water Temple. Listen to what you cannot see.
The water flows from a calcium-rich vein beneath Glastonbury Tor. The outdoor shot, near the end of the video shows a spout of the Red Spring (Chalice Well) across the road, then a pipe emitting White Sprint water is seen next to the entrance of the White Spring.
The antlers on the altar towards the end of the video were brought by me - Jesse Waugh - to the White Spring from Dyrham Park, near Bath, England, in 2010, while I was a volunteer at the White Spring. The antlers fell naturally, and were not cut from dead or harmed stags.

For info & directions about The White Spring see http://www.whitespring.org.uk

OUROBOROS

OUROBOROS heralds the beginning of the New Age of Aquarius. The Age of Pisces marked a turbulent point in the Dream of Humanity. A Brighter and more Beautiful Awakening is now revealing itself. The video for OUROBOROS employs allegorical symbolism in the form of classical motifs as a harbinger that New Beauty is revealing itself even now.

Composed and sung by Jesse Waugh, the video was filmed in Bath, Glastonbury, and principally at Stourhead House & Gardens in England. Jesse Waugh's Gold Sun, Moon, and ORANGE paintings are featured enacting celestial movements in combination denoting Sacred Union, Eclipse, and Rebirth anew. ORANGE is born a New Star and is the symbol and logo for The Fruitarian Society.

Lyrics:

OUROBOROS
Jesse Waugh

Into the mouth of the Serpent
Goes the tail it is chasing
Goes the end it is eating

Dawn will bring new light to all life
Justifying the fight
And bring freedom to you and I

Storm I will not resist the storm
No matter where it comes from
I'll fly away with the wind

Two Forces clash at the front
Without knowing they're one
They collide in the new

It Culminates in the birth of
A new order of ages
The Temple will be rebuilt

She will respond to your pleading
With Divine Cataclysm
Her mouth will open wide

Chorus

The Sons of Light and of Darkness
Have been at war with each other
Since the first Star was born

He Will restore us to order
After our Age of Chaos
Build a new universe

In To the mouths of the wicked
Will pour flowing the smelted
Ingots of all their gold

Chorus X 3

"La Fuite de la Lune" by Oscar Wilde set to music and sung by Jesse Waugh. Video by Jesse Waugh filmed on location at
Rikugien Garden, Tokyo.

Lyrics

La Fuite de la Lune

To outer senses there is peace,
A dreamy peace on either hand,
Deep silence in the shadowy land,
Deep silence where the shadows cease.

Save for a cry that echoes shrill
From some lone bird disconsolate;
A corncrake calling to its mate;
The answer from the misty hill.

And suddenly the moon withdraws
Her sickle from the lightening skies,
And to her sombre cavern flies,
Wrapped in a veil of yellow gauze.

歌詞

ラFuiteデラ月の光

アウター感覚に平和があり、
どちらの手で夢のような平和、
謎に包まれた土地に深い沈黙、
影が停止深い沈黙。

甲高いエコー叫びのために保存
いくつかの孤独な鳥悲嘆から。
その仲間に呼び出してウズラクイナ。
霧の丘からの答え。

と突然月の中途退学
雷空から彼女の鎌、
そして彼女の陰鬱な洞窟のハエに、
黄色のガーゼのベールに包まれた。

Produced by Jesse Waugh and featuring Dr. Luis Campos Baca, former Congressman under the presidency of Japanese Alberto Fujimori, NANAY highlights the Allpahuayo-Mishana Nature Reserve outside Iquitos, Peru.
Jesse Waugh follows trackers as they seek out poachers on the reserve. Also featured is Gudrun Sperrer of Pilpinuwasi wild animal farm, as well as Pekka Soini - an important naturalist who chose to avoid notoriety.

Following are excerpts from a Memoriam for Pekka Soini written by Russell A. Mittermeier, President of Conservation International:
"PEKKA SOINI: 1941--2004
I first met Pekka Soini in 1972 on my first visit to Iquitos, Peru. He was working as a travel agent at the time, but was already an expert on the fauna of Peruvian Amazonia. Being both avid herpetologists, we hit it off immediately and began a friendship that lasted more than three decades. Although we came from very different backgrounds, we shared many things, not the least of which was the fact that both of us had been inspired to go to the tropical rain forest by reading Tarzan books when we were children, Pekka in his native Finland and me in New York.
Pekka was one of the best field biologists I have ever known, a real leader and pioneer who would have been far better known had he chosen to participate in more international meetings. His range of knowledge and the number of species on which he carried out some of the first-ever field studies was truly astounding."

2001
