Marina Abramovic Becomes an Angel of Death at the Glastonbury Festival

Perhaps the Greatest Public Art Performance in History

Transforming herself into the inverted Algiz—Younger Futhark: Rune of Death—Marina Abramovic gives the crowd at the Glastonbury Festival seven minutes to ponder their own annihilation.

The Todesrune is the inverted version of the Lebensrune or "life rune". Representing end of life. It was adpoted by CND in the 1950s as a sign of ending nuclear proliferation. Commonly known among the profane as a ‘peace sign’, it is based on the ᛦ or ‘Yr’ rune, which originally meant ‘yew’. The sacred tree of the European Pagans as it represents life beyond death through reincarnation. This is also how the yew found itself into ancient graveyards. Within Germanic Neo-Paganism it is used as a tombstone instead of a traditional Christian cross.

In the age of Suddenlys and Unexpectedlys, she gave the crowd at Glastonbury seven minutes to ponder their own inevitable dive into the Abyss. Although the vast majority of people who attend this festival are too posh, upper middle class and superficial to consider anything of depth and meaning. Essentially they have chosen to be part of a mass sacrifice ritual when they got their Covid Vax Passes. Today she closed the ritual. Regardless of if she fully realised it or not. As perhaps—almost certainly—another ancient force was operating through her. A ritual which began with Marina Abramovic facing the rising sun at Stonehenge just before this part of the performance on stage took place.

The only artist left who means anything meaningful. A shaman…a Seider.
