"Sacred" Time
     New Year's Eve is a holiday my family celebrates because it is not an oridnary day. It is a celebration of the new year that is to come and we do that with food, drinks, and music. Chaos forms as fireworks are lit. Norms are broken as young children stay up late and everyone dresses up in a fancy outfit. Once the new year comes couples share a new year's kiss and everyone celebrates to bring the new year in.

"Is a Woman" by Lampchop-Video Analysis

       In the video, one can see seasonal changes. These seasonal changes go through a cycle from death to birth or life and vice versa.  The video starts out in the winter, symbolizing death and shows a transition into spring. Spring, symbolizing a new life, can be seen at the end of the video in a form of a tree, as it itself symbolizes life. Also in the video, once can also a leaf transitioning from winter to spring as it starts out a brown reddish color and once it has placed itself on a tree it is now green and full of life.

Celestial Model & Sacred Centers

Tania
Meaning: fairy queen; short form of Tatiana, a queen of fairies from Shakespeare's "A mid-summer's night dream"

One of my sacred centers would have to be my family. My family is more than a mom and brothers; they are the people that give me strength, joy, hope. My family is a place where I can find comfort in this chaotic world.
