Victor Brauner (1903 – 1966) was a Romanian painter and sculptor of the surrealist movement. He died in Paris as a result of a prolonged illness. The epitaph on his tomb from Montmartre Cemetery is a phrase from his notebooks: "Peindre, c'est la vie, la vraie vie, ma vie" ("Painting is life, real life, my life"). #inscripciones #cemeteryphotos #gravestone #cemeterytourist #cemeterywandering #graveyard #cemetery #cemeteries #cemeterian #vault #tomb #cemeteryphotography #cemeteriesofinstagram #cemeteryarchitecture #crypt #cemeterysymbolism #headstone #tombstone #grave #burial #taphophile #taphophiles_only #cemeterybeauty #cemeteryhistory #graveandbeautiful #total_graves #aj_graveyards #project_necropolis #total_graves

Charles Zeuner (1795 - 1857) was an American organist and composer originally active in Germany, then in Boston and Philadelphia in the United States. For several years, he showed symptoms of insanity; these, at first, were not thought by others to be serious, but on a trip to West Philadelphia he committed suicide. Of unknown reasons he was burried in Paris. #inscripciones #cemeteryphotos #gravestone #cemeterytourist #cemeterywandering #graveyard #cemetery #cemeteries #cemeterian #vault #tomb #cemeteryphotography #cemeteriesofinstagram #cemeteryarchitecture #crypt #cemeterysymbolism #headstone #tombstone #grave #burial #taphophile #taphophiles_only #cemeterybeauty #cemeteryhistory #graveandbeautiful #total_graves #aj_graveyards #project_necropolis #total_graves

Aside from being vessels for cremated remains, urn imagery adorns many gravestones in etchings and statuary. An urn with a shroud represents mourning, the shroud representing the thin veil between the living and the dead. --- En plus de contenir les cendres, les urnes ornent de nombreuses pierres tombales sous forme de gravures et de statues.

Happy Easter! The Draped Cross is a Christian resurrection symbol commonly associated with Easter. The cloth wrapped loosely around the cross represents the shroud or burial garments found in the tomb after Jesus rose from the dead. Some other names for it are: The Deposition Cross, the Resurrection Cross, the Shrouded Cross, the Empty Cross, and the Risen Cross. The symbol serves as a reminder to the bereaved that death isn't the end. Crosses are common in burial grounds, but unless they depict a draped cloth they are not resurrection crosses. This example seen on a headstone in the Dissenters' Cemetery also shows a five pointed star, another symbol thought to represent the five holy wounds of Christ. #Easter #eastersunday #ressurectionsunday #cemeterysymbolism #gravesymbolism #headstone #gravestone #cemetery
A broken column or pillar represents a life cut short. An intact pillar suggests that the grave's occupant lived a full life. --- Une colonne ou un pilier brisé représente une vie interrompue.

Eternal sleep is one of the classic representations of death. Here sculptor Saccomanno Santo (1883) used both the literal meaning of sleeping figure, but also poppy pods as they too symbolise sleep, peace, and death. However the most interesting is the hidden Ouroboros - snake biting it's own tail - symbol of eternity and cyclicity of Nature. #staglieno_cemetery #staglieno_sculptures #cimiteri_monumentali #cemetery_photography #monumentalcemetery #monumentalcemetery #cemeteryart #cemeterysymbolism #cemetery #graveyard #gravestone #cimiteri_monumentali #cimetière #cemeteryphotography #cemeterysymbols #cemeteryshots #cimiteromonumentalestaglieno #angel #staglienocemetery #staglieno #cemeteryangel

I need to take a photo rather than try to scan the seal of the Reading Cemetery Company, the joint stock company that set up the cemetery and was in charge until 1959 when it passed on to the Reading Corporation (Local Authority). In true Victorian style it pictures a weeping willow in a cemetery over a pedestal tomb with what looks like a chalice (must be an urn) on top of it. #cemeterycompanies #savereadingoldcemetery #cemetery #cemeterysymbolism
The weeping willow is an icon of Victorian mourning. Sometimes paired with an urn or a crying woman, the tree reflects the grief and sorrow of those left behind. Conversely, it represents immortality. --- Le saule pleureur est une icône du deuil victorien. Parfois associé à une urne ou à une femme en pleurs, l'arbre reflète le deuil et le chagrin de ceux qui sont laissés derrière. À l'inverse, il représente l'immortalité. . . . .

For many, February is a month of love thanks to Valentine's Day. Because of that, it is a wonderful time for love spells. We're also conveniently under a waxing moon right now, perfect for attracting and manifesting desires! One of the most accessible forms of magic for most people is candle magic. If you're trying to attract a specific person, you would want to carve the initials (and birth date if you know it) of that person into the candle before anointing it with oils and herbs. You can write more details about what you're trying to attract in dragon's blood ink on a piece of paper and place it beneath the candle before you light it. If you're not trying to attract a specific person, but are just trying to attract a specific type of love or relationship, write those things down instead. The beauty of spellwork is that it is easily manipulated and personalized if you do a little research! You can also use oracle cards as a focal point for your spells like the 𝐸𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝐿𝑜𝑣𝑒 card from Roses, Dust & Ashes by Stacey Williams-Ng. Shown here is a very simple spell using a pink candle that has been anointed with rose water surrounded by chili peppers (to spice up a relationship) and rose quartz (for love). #bestindieoracle #bestindieoracledeck #aestheticoracledeck #macabreoracledeck #gothicoracle #rosesdustandashes #rosesdust&ashes #rosesdustandashes🥀 #roses🥀 #rosesoracle #cemeterysymbolism #voctoriancemeterysymbols #victoriancemetery #taphophilesonly #cemeterysculpture #cemeteryvisitors #cemeterylovers #victoriantarot #victorianoracle #victoriancemeterysculpture #artisticoracle #love #lovespell #lovespells #valentinesday #romance

Aquarius season is right around the corner. Why not do a three card spread to gain a little insight into this season? This is a pretty standard three card spread that is read from left to right. 1) How you're going into Aquarius season 2) How you can expect Aquarius season to go 3) What you'll take away from Aquarius season In this example reading, we've used the Roses, Dust & Ashes Oracle by Stacey Williams-Ng. This three card spread might go something like this: I'm going into Aquarius season with an open-mind. This season is going to be a time of curiosity, exploration, and understanding. Walking out of Aquarius season, I will take with me the ability to be adaptable, growing and changing with whatever comes next. #bestindieoracle #bestindieoracledeck #aestheticoracledeck #macabreoracledeck #gothicoracle #rosesdustandashes #rosesdust&ashes #rosesdustandashes🥀 #roses🥀 #rosesoracle #cemeterysymbolism #voctoriancemeterysymbols #victoriancemetery #taphophilesonly #cemeterysculpture #cemeteryvisitors #cemeterylovers #victoriantarot #victorianoracle #victoriancemeterysculpture #artisticoracle
Not bad for just reaching over the wall and grabbing a shot! Special thanks to @akloughlin for taking me here even though we knew we wouldn't get in. @oaklandcemetery is closed the entire month of January for road resurfacing and repairs. #cemeteryphotos #gravestone #cemeterytourist #cemeterywandering #graveyard #cemetery #cemeteries #cemeterian #vault #tomb #cemeteryphotography #cemeteriesofinstagram #cemeteryarchitecture #crypt #cemeterysymbolism #headstone #tombstone #grave #burial #taphophile #taphophiles_only #cemeterybeauty #cemeteryhistory #graveandbeautiful #total_graves #aj_graveyards #project_necropolis #total_graves #_pax_ #the_mausoleum_door

DECK SPOTLIGHT: The Roses, Dust & Ashes Oracle is a Victorian cemetery symbolism deck by artist Stacey Williams-Ng. Reading with this deck is like walking through a historic cemetery and receiving messages from the stone monuments themselves. This oracle pays homage to all those weeping angels, anchors, scrolls and doves. This deck is a must for taphophiles and card collectors alike - with gold-etched cards in a velvet-lined coffin box, this deck is like nothing you've ever seen or touched. The enclosed book includes a FULL GLOSSARY of over 100 cemetery symbols; pocket-sized for cemetery excursions. #bestindieoracle #bestindieoracledeck #aestheticoracledeck #macabreoracledeck #gothicoracle #rosesdustandashes #rosesdust&ashes #rosesdustandashes🥀 #roses🥀 #rosesoracle #cemeterysymbolism #voctoriancemeterysymbols #victoriancemetery #taphophilesonly #cemeterysculpture #cemeteryvisitors #cemeterylovers #victoriantarot #victorianoracle #victoriancemeterysculpture #artisticoracle

The cross and crown is a common Christian symbol, and it appears on tombstones with some frequency. The cross is supposed to represent the trials and tribulations of mortal life; while the cross represents the afterlife in heaven. Combined, they function as a promise of a better immortal life beyond the troubles of life on earth. (via A Grave Concern) #crossandcrown #cemeterysymbolism #eastoncemetery #historiceastoncemetery

Portraits and all the Victorian flora, I’ve seen a lot of oak and ivy depicted (generally for a husband and wife) but this marker doubles down with oak, Laurel, Ivy, and a palm. So basically there is no such thing as too much symbolism. #cemetery #cemeteries #cemeteriesandgraveyards #cemeteriesofinstagram #tombwithaview #cemeterylove #cemeterylovers #cemeteryloversofinstagram #cemetery_lovers #cemeteryportraits #ᴄᴇᴍᴇᴛᴇʀʏᴘʜᴏᴛᴏɢʀᴀᴘʜʏ #cemeteryphotography #cemetery_photography #cemeterylife #cemeteryshots #cemeterysymbols #cemeterysymbolism #taphophilesofinstagram #taphophilies
Symbolism can be found throughout Glasnevin Cemetery, with headstones and memorials often having hidden meanings. Angels pointing toward the sky indicated that the deceased was bound for heaven. Similarly, angels looking downward represent mourning and the loss of the dead. #GlasnevinCemetery #CemeterySymbolism #CemeteryPhotography #MementoMori

Today's cemetery symbol is ivy. Stonework of this creeping, clinging vine represents friendship, fidelity, and immortality. --- Aujourd'hui, le symbole du cimetière est le lierre. Le travail de camouflage de la pierre de cette vigne rampante et grimpante représente l'amitié, la fidélité et l'immortalité. . . . .
