Weekly news article featuring 5 under appreciated deviants, based on low counts of watchers, favorites, and comments. (This article has limited thumbnails, for your viewing pleasure)
Pride, Envy, Wrath, Gluttony, Lust, Greed and Sloth...
The Se7en Deadly Sins are traits we can all recognise within ourselves if we stare in the mirror for long enough...
... Avarice or Avaritia (Latin) is the overwhelming desire for material wealth or gain, and ignoring the spiritual realm
... Avarice is also known as GREED.
In 1598, Peter Binsfeld a renowned German Witch-hunter extraordinaire paired each sin with a demon who tempted people by means of the associated Sin...
The Demon associated with Avarice or (Greed) is MAMMON...
Here is a little flavour of what AVARICE or GREED looks like... or feels like... The images are beautiful, often disturbing - and almost always stirring. Some by the more recognised Deviants and regular front-pagers... Some by virtually unknown/unrecognised artists and photographers - often of talent deserved of a wider audience - so show them your love - and
hmm. i like the pictures, but i dont see how they fit together. i semi know what avarice means (read your description, but i mean in english lol, massively blonde) but i am vaguely familiar with the term, and i dont really understand the commonness, sorry, didnt mean to put down your collage, i love it, and the pictures are very pretty im just slightly blonde :awestruck:

Beauty is pain, Pain is perfection, Perfection is lost.
I have tried to pick out pictures that (in my opinion) either convey greed or epitomise it... As you say, other words for AVARICE are greed, coveteousness.... etc etc... It may be the mood evoked when I first saw the picture conveyed something to me about greediness... hunger... desire for total consumption....or it maybe a symbollic thing.... Like the girl in the wooden box - that made me think of how sick minds often collect strange and disturbing things...Maybe I have a sick and twisted mind, but that image made me think of a serial killer -they as part of their pathological physiology are renowned for keeping trophies....
And the image that looks likea severed penis... made me think of Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice -and Portia wanting her 'oundof flesh' and all that this symbolises...
I hope this has clarified my trainof thought when selecting images for my articles xxx

I remember avarice. It was those black chewy anise flavored sticks I ate at the movies.
