Anasyrma (ἀνάσυρμα) is an ancient Greek term for “skirts-up”, the act of lifting one’s skirt or robe to publicly expose the naked buttocks or genitals –be them masculine, feminine or somewhat mixed.
It is a kind of performing art, but also a way of intimidation, protest and, even, a superstitious device to ward off a curse, a menace or any possible supernatural enemy. In the Celtic, some Balkanic and some Chinese folklore, it was reputed to be good for scaring away whirlwinds, lightning and the like. Of course, it does not work this way, but it brings fun to try a bit, and it may inspire some colorful pictures, like these below:

No worries, dear ! I just hate things I don’t do well: failure… No hate beyond this.

That I understand far too well. I’m trying to reframe my failings, perhaps not as lackings on my part, but a nudge from the Universe to move in a new way.
