Liber Umbrarum vel Coniunctio

from Aarni / Umbra Nihil Split by Aarni

about

The lyrical content and mental imagery came to MW in a waking dream after intensively reading Jung. He has got better since. As apparent to anyone even slightly familiar with Jung's ideas, the song deals with the individuation process and more specifically with confronting and subsequently assimilating one's Shadow and other Jungian key elements of one's unconscious. The 'Book of Shadows' and 'Book of (the) Youth' mentioned in the song's title and lyrics obiviously refer to these archetypal images and to the works of Jung himself, respectively.

lyrics

Proclamator: Timeo, trepido; in basilicis atris erro. Nescio, nememini quo modo huc adveni.

Librum Iuvenis quiete domi legebam. Sed qui estis, spiritus advenientes?

Umbrae: Lemures aut spiritus non sumus! Nonne nos cognoscis?

Liber sanctus sum : Draconigenus sum : Et feminea aeterna sum

Proclamator: Certe vos cognosco; in somnis mihi torquetis! Mehercule, abite, mali spiritus!

Redite ad infernos, magnopere me temptatis! Cur mi apparuistis; quid vobis mecum rei est?

Umbrae: Tibi apparuimus, ut completus fias. Consanguinei sumus, tu et nos.

Proclamator: Intellectu careo! Venitisne ex animo meo?

Umbrae: Ita vero; de te sumus partes. Assume nos et invenies!

Proclamator: Nunc intellego!

Omnia: CONIUNCTI SUMUS.

Aarni Oulu, Finland

Aarni has of course always existed, but the current incarnation's story began in the autumn of 1998 e.v. when M.·.M.·. suddenly began solitarily developing his vague musical ideas further. He got telepathetic messages from the unicorn dolphin elder of Sirius B, who begged M.·.M.·. to reawaken the ancient Xothian aural technology tradition called 'aarni'.
Soon other dodgy entities joined him. Grok? ... more
