A Blessed Family Time ...
The Archetype of the Dragon
© 2021 Sir Mikhail Tank @mikhailtank / mikhailtank.com
The archetype of the dragon symbolizes great power and has inspired me for a long while, it is time I write about it. There are many dragons, some with water tails, some who exude fire and flame. Some that fly in the air, others that walk upon the Earth.
Their spirit and soul is not one which is known to compromise, instead they stand strong for truth, and they know what is righteous, and good. Dragons symbolize all of the main elements that we’ve come to know and adore; and archetypes, being primordial images infused with likeness energy — can gift us, like clothes onto the Soul, the very aspects of that which they stand for. It’s a spark, a force of influence, an unconscious self hypnosis which can strengthen our own STERGENNI. Not only in mythology, but likewise in all that is creative, there is a quest, a journey, a pain which must be dealt with. Imagine if a young dragon’s lair is all of a sudden disturbed, destroyed because people fear and misunderstand this great creature, with the claws of their baseless and senseless fear, all they can do in their primitive and unkept ways, is to diminish something pure and great, look what they did to Jesus! The dragon is not bad or evil, he/she/they can be kind and helpful, truthful, wonderful, protective, igniting of spirit, and ever so focused and deep. Because there is no greater .. such as a Lion or an eagle, it must self reflect and self assess its own strength, its counter weight is the True Self.
In a time when vilification is senselessly placed upon the innocent and good ones, let us not forget the power of the dragon and how this archetype can assist within.
Blessed Be, M Tank

As the author, of this book ... I would like to share with you a little about BLESSINGS. It came to me like art does, via a sudden stream of consciousness, as if a gift from the Creator and deeper realms.I wrote the 8 simple Blessings immediately and it felt complete and closed. Thus, the Kindle version simply has the 8 Blessings on the subjects of Morning / Night (sleep time) / Money / Peace / the Sun and Moon (Balance) / the Home / Love / and Well Being, and the paperback version (variant cover) likewise has an abundant number of pages for reflection / feelings and thoughts that you can add to the book, including your own Blessings.
Out Now, 8 Original Blessings

As someone who's had the honour to interview the magnificent Laurie Cabot (link here) - I received a signed version of this splendid paperback book. Allow me to share a powerful quote, for generations to come: "Years of religious dogma have made many inherently fear majick and psychic abilities, believing they open you to demonic forces. Nothing could be further from the truth." - Laurie Cabot, Book of Visions. In this book -- Laurie, her daughter Penny, Mr. Penczak and editor Tina Whittle bring together strong archetypes, breathing techniques, protective majick and altogether powerful elements in order to heal oneself, become stronger and focus one's Soul and Inner Energies in order to do good in the world. I appreciate this fantastic book. Thank you Laurie for being a Brilliant Lady, Mt

For Those who Feel Broken
C. 2019 Mikhail Tank
Life is like a Cycle
Feels like you're playing
Musical chairs
Wins, losses, recitals
Sometimes you wish to pause
At times you want to Stop
For those who feel broken
For those whose wings are unspoken
For those who can't fly
Remember that
There is Universal Light
Which you can connect to
Release the addictions
Destroy the broken heart syndrome
Relax and Renew
Breathe Life and Begin Again
No where on Earth is there a sadder sight
Than in front of our eyes
There's pain and misery and demise
Lift your hand As if Majick
Say your Love with a penny in your hand
Watch the copper turn to gold
Not just an Alchemist
You're a Healer of Sorts
And the wings, reimagined
No matter if real or within
They will turn the Lights Green
And you will stand up again

- Not Secondary in Love
- By Mikhail Tank
At this very moment
My heart is thankfully, vacant
Tired of crazy
Tired of haughty
Tired of playing secondary
Musical chairs of love
Now I'm standing tall
I don't even mind
Not sitting atop just
Any old stall
I deserve a throne
A place to call my own
Supportive, humorous
And compatible in the
Boudoir
Signals emitted
Lanes fully open
Take your pick and
Enjoy the ride on highway no. 9
I'll accept what's right
My heart is unteathered
Not a bit of dust
From the lost loves of the past ❤️

"'This track is a spiritual message. A way to relay future non-verbal communications via a recording device, the way I believe some souls would wish to express their soul's inner testament.'" The track, unlike most of Tank's works, which are polished and produced, was recorded on a mini recorder at 3 am, from a dream state, with no editing or fine-tuning, a first raw cut." - BuzzFeed

I love Halloween ...
Halloween is a time when people choose to take their masks off and become the archetype which possesses them in a comfortable, fun way.
It's a day when we can enjoy the unconscious dancing through the streets and singing paradoxically in the rain.
A few of my most memorable Halloweens were spent at a Count's restate, and a-now rentable Bran castle (subject to change), in Transylvania, Romania; at the Halloween party in the world-renowned Playboy Mansion; enjoying the charming ghost train at Griffith Park, attending shows at the Magic Castle, in Hollywood (as an I.B.M. member, and with friends); spending a night and writing a show on the really-haunted Queen Mary ship in Long Beach; producing and performing as the 'Archetypal Joker' on stage in 2015 (turning a harrowing month-long inability to sleep into artistic expression); having three Stephen King dollar baby films I directed premiere at several Halloween festivals; and this year, a collaboration with music composer and producer, Brett Bibles, in the creation of (pseudonym from age 13 - Sir. Tank's) 'Happy Halloween' (an adult themed party album available via online music distributors worldwide).
With the love I hold for spirits, daemons (not demons!), art, creation, G-d, the holy and as we know, the thinning of the veil, I invite you to celebrate safely and soulfully.
For photos from mentions above, please see to your left.
Blessings and Enjoyment,
Sir Mikhail Tank

Episode 1: Self-Creation vs. Creative Envy (airdate 11/26/13)
In the debut episode of Dark Nights, Bright Life -- Layla Ashley and Mikhail Tank discuss Self-Creation vs. Creative Envy. Hear them talk about how each of us can strive to Create instead of get caught up in a feeling of lacking and wanting what we don't (yet) have. The Hosts expose the myths of envy and how it is really a call to self-expression. Find out what the "creative self" is all about and how we can bring it out instead of cower in the face of others' envious eyes. A couple of very special guests discuss creativity in the theatre and drama-therapy. And enjoy some special gifts of their own that Layla and Mikhail each present during the show.
Episode 2: The Shadow (airdate 12/3/13)

Episode 3: Male and Female aspects of individuals and society as a whole (airdate 12/10/13)
In the third episode of "Dark Nights, Bright Life" -- hosts Layla Ashley and Mikhail Tank discuss Male and Female aspects of individuals and society as a whole. They courageously and playfully flesh out the downfall of male and female natures, and the differences in how they go about getting what they want. Then they bring it back together by pointing out that males and females do best when they honor and compliment each other's differences, to experience unity, harmony and cohesion. And that by making peace with the masculine and feminine qualities within yourself, you can more readily love and cherish those qualities in others and in your relationships. Special guest Dr. Stephan A. Hoeller, a lecturer and writer on subjects of spirituality, psychology, and the esoteric tradition, takes listeners more than a few notches up and into the depths of the soul and psyche, as he discusses the concepts of anima/animus, logos, eros, masculine and feminine energies on a deity level, as well as sharing some of his own insight into how males and females can better compliment one another in current times. Tune in to this very special episode.

In the forth episode of "Dark Nights, Bright Life" -- hosts Layla and Mikhail discuss Objectivity and Faith, as it relates to anxiety, addiction, distractability and emotional intelligence. They delve into what is behind why we distract ourselves from what we truly want to do. They describe a general abuser's profile and take a look at how anxiety and addiction keep us from our Highest Good. And they point out the importance of becoming objective and having faith to move out and up from the situation. Personal boundaries and accessing personal passion through choice is emphasized. Special guest JR Westen, D.D., C.Ad, Executive Director for the Conversations with God Foundation, and who specializes in Addiction and Grief Recovery, discusses addiction and the recovery process, the 'addict brain', and what it is that really helps people become free again. Finding personal spiritual connection is discussed as key to rising above these challenges. Mikhail and Layla also each premiere some very special audio works related to the topics, and make some special announcements for the coming new year!

SUMMER 2013 --
FILM, TRADEMARK, ARTISTIC COMMENDATION, ALBUM, COSTUME & DIGITAL PAINTING by Wayne Hoecherl to celebrate 20th Anniversary of unique art-form
Psychological Antidotes and Soul Prescriptions: The Story of Darksoul Theatre™ is a look at a unique virtual theatre that’s in its 20th year. The intention of this art form is to create works of psychological significance and spiritual strength. Tank started the art of Darksoul at the tender age of 13 and has since performed at universities, festivals, and solo shows in the the Bay Area; Vancouver, British Columbia; Hollywood, CA; Tokyo, Japan; and in the first ever streamed performance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. His shows, “Magician’s Key,” “Cure for a Broken Heart,” “Soul Photography,” “For The Special Ones,” “The Power of Rejection,” and “Psychological Antidotes” all share one factor—the wish to help people face their inner fears and find personal strength.
The feature film documentary will be screened on Saturday, June 15th at The Actors Company in West Hollywood.
Interview by Andrea Caccese (more & more sound)
Published June 8th, 2013
Mikhail Tank
A chat with a truly multi-talented artist: Mikhail Tank is a musician, Guinness World Record holder, performer, director, creator of the Darksoul Theatre … and Count of Sealand!
Mikhail Tank (photo credit: Patti Garcia)
- What was the spark that made you come up with the concept of Darksoul Theatre?
Darksoul Theatre (which now has a registered Trademark & Service Mark) came to me at a time of spiritual dwelling. I was 13 years old, in new surroundings, kind of adrift in my own world. This was my tool of self-analysis, of emotional study and a sort of self-psychoanalysis — which allowed a distance to form and later, creations. Everything comes from the depth and relates to what others feel under the layers. It’s not simple stuff and it’s not necessarily marketable. After helping my-self heal through art I was able to do to the same for others.
- What is that makes Darksoul Theatre unique?
That’s a cooking secret lol But I will say that when people take the time to enjoy the art and to really EXPERIENCE it, it will move them and take them to places they may not have seen within themselves.
- Why did you decide to capture this story with the documentary format?
Since I’ve been creating within this art-form for the past 20 years, and I’m big on cataloging – I decided to capture the ART-TIME in the capsule of film, in order to preserve it just the way that it is in the moment. Now it’s time for Chapter II …
- You are also a musician. Do you see a strong connection between music and visual arts?
Music is the greatest healing element, as it relates to the rhythm, heart-beat and blood-flow inside, at least it’s the greatest form of healing that I’ve experienced. That along with Magic-Prayer. Music and visual art sometimes compliments one another and at other times, the visual can detract. But I still prefer collecting limited CD’s, ones with holograms, linear notes, lyrics, photos and quality mastering. For me, digital is secondary! I love real tangible art-goods, including music.
- Is there any artist out there (music, theatre, or visual) that managed to impress you lately?
I’m rather displeased with the fact that GENIUS WORLD ARTISTS are shunned by the powers that be. Here it’s all about money, ass and other vulgar bs. There aren’t many true artists here in the US. I adore and study such greats as Irina Allegrova, Valeri Leontiev, Alla Pugacheva, Masha Rasputina, the highly under-rated Chante Moore, Vahtang Kikabidze, David Tukhmanov, my fellow name-sake Mikhail Tanich (same full last name), Olga Kormuhina, Iyak Yola, (original performance artist) Laurie Anderson and Greek Goddess Anna Vissi.
- You left Russia for the United States. Do you think you could have had the chance to express yourself through your art if you had remained in your home country?
Honestly, I don’t know. But I suppose strongly that I would not have had the same freedom. Although here my freedom is silent and at times blocked and under-appreciated, I am EXTREMELY grateful to be able to create with 100% Creative Freedom, something I know most ‘major’ artists dream of.
- Each artist, deep inside, wishes to reach an audience that shares his / hers mindset. Who´s your “ideal fan”?
I have a few, those with whom I can speak with on a truly unique level. Without the hype. M.O., Pj.B. & my dearest G.M. are true, deep & intellectual! I am accepting multiple fan applications (haha), so visit my site and check out my art across multi-media platforms, including the Guinness Record.
Lastly, I want to wish everyone Creative Intelligence! Don’t settle for the booty-shaking, ask for more meaning from your artists, so that you can emulate them on a deeper level and learn about who you are instead of only what’s on the outside!!
What does it mean to stick to your love of art for 20 years? To me it means spiritual growth, human understanding, and the ability to see that which is invisible.
Darksoul Theatre came to me when I was a struggling 13 year old, confused and consciously alienated from the outside world. It was a natural way to face the demons, the untold ways, and many of life's mysteries that were beyond my years. It was my Solomon’s Ring that shined a light into the deep tunnel of the unknowing.
From there I began to create, inspiring others to overcome their concerns by helping them to become ‘flyers in life’ instead of ‘walkers’. Throughout these twenty years, I have had the privilege to travel the world, to learn from many cultures, and to share art and culture.
On June 15th, 2013 – Psychological Antidotes and Soul Prescriptions, The Story of Darksoul Theatre™ documentary feature film will debut at The Actors Company Theatre on Formosa Avenue in Los Angeles. I invite you to attend the premiere. Tickets and additional information are available on my website www.mikhailtank.com

A True Little Story about being Less-selfish & caring less about external looks
I was sitting in a donut shop in West La, enjoying a selfish series of moments on my phone, a Whole milk and a cherry-cheesecake donut (with an additional glazed in a bag to go) when all of a sudden, appeared a toothless and shoeless homeless man. He was walking all around the store, back and forth, in and out. Initially I felt repulsion and moved sideways and away from him.

JUNE 29th - attended album release show of the amazing live performer, Sophie B. Hawkins - a true independent artist/musician
JUNE 21st - Some people say that when someone achieves a certain high level position - it means they truly deserve it, the same people may state that talent always preserveres. As positive as my energy is, and as much as I love to believe - these sentiments are pure BS. There are those who deserve what they have and those who don't.There are those whose talent preserveres and those whose talent never sees the light of day. And for all of those who DESERVE to be heard and seen and whose talent is silenced - I dedicate this day to YOU! Bless You!
JUNE 20th - NOT ONLY DIGITAL! Just gotta say, both as a published artist & artistic consumer - I prefer physical content (signed CD's, hardcover books) over digital media.
Digital media does not have any resale value whereas the books I collect, the 1st edition signed CD pressings ... their value only goes up.
And lastly, art that is tangible, that I can hold and take with me, art that is independent in its manufacturing is essential to my taste.

MAY 31st - Featured on Meteorite Jeweler's site ...
"Jewellery has been a source of inspiration for many thousands of years.
This was brought home recently when I received a commission from a renowned actor in the USA.
Russian born actor Mikhail Tank contacted me and asked if I could create a ring for him to wear in an upcoming Theatre tour.
He wanted a ring set with a piece of iron meteorite - and having seen one on the Jurassic jewellery meteorite rings page I worked with him to create something unique.
When he gave me the go ahead I made the ring and sent it to him in California.
Mikhail told me he was delighted with the ring and would wear it while performing in his new theatre show." - http://blog.jurassicjewellery.co.uk/post/22837103943/the-star-ring-that-inspired-a-star
