The Witch of Endor, by Dmitri Nikiforovich Martynov. circa 1857
Although usually translated "witch" in English, she is more correctly "the mistress of the Ob (ritual pit?) at Eyn Dor".
(Having a very witchy August, for reasons that will soon become clear).

A tribute to Ozzy Osbourne on the wine shelf of a restaurant in Tokyo.

My favorite curry restaurant in Tokyo right now:

This looks like an explosion in a whore factory.

Anti racism in Shinjuku.
Pretty positive crowd.

At the south exit of Shinjuku there is some kind of anti fascist demonstration-cum-rave bumping hella dub bass. But what really caught my attention was the sign “Goths against fascism” 👍

A simple black mug with a silver teaspoon in the shape of the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. The mug's handle is broken.

Everybody gangsta until the handle falls off their favorite mug.

YouTube video by InRangeTV Deleting History in Real Time - Intentionally Induced Historical Amnesia

Fascinating piece of micro-history about a midwife and her cavalryman husband. The historical record was recently deleted by the US govt. for political reasons but firearms history channel InRangeTV has preserved it.

Evil witch Agatha Harkness getting angry about the subjectivity of Tarot cards.

How I feel after 5 weeks of trying to make a coherent introductory class on the history and practice of Tarot.

I can't add anything surprising or new to the mourning of David Lynch so I will just say that Eraserhead is a classic and if you haven't seen it yet, please do. He was one of my favorite directors. May he sail among the imperishable stars.

"Hail to Sekhmet, the mighty one, who comes forth as the Eye of Ra, who subdues the rebels and annihilates disorder with her flames."

Long-time ValhallaDelay user, and I think "Analog" mode is my new favorite; just gorgeous!!! It can float all sparkly and ethereal, or grind out dark gloopy echoes like half-forgotten memories. Love it, love it.
