vintage nudes
Power trio
Monday, 20May2019 Filed in: Gallery
An unusual picture that is just about friendship, not fashion or titillation. Going by the amount of pubic hair, the jewelry, and the feathered hair, I'd say late 1970s to early 1980s.
I’m a naturist in both senses of the word. Life doesn’t always need clothes. I admire the human body. I hope you can too.

❝Dianna and Actaeon❞
Monday, 19Nov2018 Filed in: Gallery
This is one of Titan's more famous works.
We've definitely moved into the Rubenesque Renaissance. No near waifs here.
What's most interesting about this piece is how it lowers Diana to not only mortal, but to the sensibilities of the time. There is no way that a Lady God would be embarrassed if caught nude. Gods make other humans embarrassed, not the other way around. Nude women bathers were a common motif. I suspect it had something to do with the real ladies being covered up most of the time. Note also that the one servant on the right isn't treated as a "real" woman, she isn't sexualized. That was also fairly common.

Technically not nude, but close. Not sure of the date on this one. By the hairstyle I'd guess pre-WWII. It looks to me like she is gathering and preparing herself.

Nudity and water go hand in hand. Why we ever started with swimsuits I'll never know.
This one looks vintage but I am pretty sure it's posed. For one thing that expression is unusual in pictures before about 1970 or so.That reflection is gorgeous.

You'll learn about prehistoric fertility goddesses like the Venus of Willendorf, life and death goddesses like the Ancient Greek Fates and the Norse Norns. And we'll learn about regeneration goddesses like Ireland's Nimah, and Japan's Oto-Hime.”

Monday, 14May2018 Filed in: GalleryLuis Ricardo Falero, Duke of Labranzano, was a Spanish painter with a taste for female nudes in mythological and fantasy settings. This 1878 piece is called Witches on the Sabbath.
Notice the juxtaposition of the human figures with the non-human. The non-human seem even more carnal than the human in twisted ways. Between that and the floating, it's a pretty good bet that this depicts a psychedelic trip. It was understood that a lot of the imagery reported by witches may have occurred under the influence. Does that make it any less valid? Well, that's a question for another time.
Pay attention to the lady in the lower left corner. The expression on her face indicates something is going on, and it's a bit beyond a night out with friends. My guess is that it has something to do with the man whose arm she is hanging onto. I don't think it's an accident that his face is mostly averted. I think this is detailing an affair.I’m a naturist in both senses of the word. Life doesn’t always need clothes. I admire the human body. I hope you can too.

Monday, 12Mar2018 Filed in: GalleryJohn Byam Liston Shaw was influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites and worked in a wide variety of mediums. Today he's best known as a teacher and not an artist in his own right.
Obviously this is a depiction of the Garden of Eden. Pay special attention to how the man is so passive, even to the point of being hidden behind the woman. He's still tense and resisting, but he obviously doesn't want to be there. This is emphasized by him being in the shadows.
The woman is embracing life and blossoming right before our eyes.I’m a naturist in both senses of the word. Life doesn’t always need clothes. I admire the human body. I hope you can too.

A narrow slice of life, but now and again pondering American neopaganism, modern adult pagans & the World.
Pagan philosopher, libertarian, and part-time trouble maker, NeoWayland keeps truths alive despite a wash of nonsense. But don't be surprised when he's doing the “nekkid pagan guy” thing.
There are pagan news & opinion sites. Technopagan Yearnings is not one. It’s more like a digital binder with interesting pagan stuff. And nudity. Don’t forget the nudity.
Since Wren Walker retired the Wren’s Nest of The Witches’ Voice, there is not really a pagan news site anymore.
The Pagan Vigil Reader is a pagan news aggregator.
You won’t find porn or erotica here. I do discuss nudity & sex, but I do not describe sexual events. As a naturist I admire the human body so you will find nudes here. You will not find photos of sex. There is some art showing sex and orgasms in a ritual or mythical context.
Updated weekdays when possible, otherwise irregularly as circumstances permit and the mood strikes.
This is the fourth major version of Technopagan Yearnings. I still have № 3 on file with it’s comments. I’ll convert that bit by bit as I get the chance. This version uses
RealMac’s RapidWeaver instead of Lifli’s iBlog.
