Myself (such as I am). Polytheist/Pagan musician, writer and artist, specifically Setian (a devotee of Set), working to help bridge the worlds of contemporary polytheism, electronic music, and all kinds of weird-ass sci-fi/horror/fantasy/comic book/Saturday morning cartoon shenanigans.
Me in B&W, tryin' to look good Me in B&W, realizing there's some cat vomit across the room I gotta clean up now Me in B&W, giving the sign of the horns Me in B&W, with that expression I always get when I've lost the remote and can't find it

An old drawing of Hal the superhero werewolf, who is featured in my albums "The Mauling Man" (2022) and "The Ghoul." This was drawn in an old composition notebook back in 2002 or 2003. #werewolf #superhero #art #music
Growing up, I used to write and draw all the time in these composition notebooks I collected, many of which I still have today (though some are lost). Most of the story material for my albums comes from these notebooks. I was looking through one earlier this week, which I haven't opened for maybe 15 years, and I found this old drawing of Hal the werewolf (featured in "The Mauling Man" and "The Ghoul"). I believe I drew this circa 2002–2003, if memory serves. Lookin pretty buff and good-natured even back then, Hal ol' boy!

If Suzanne Collins is telling the truth that she independently created The Hunger Games without any knowledge of Battle Royale, then the legal and critical debate rests entirely on the idea/expression dichotomy in copyright law.

Papa Set wants everyone to know we can STILL crush our enemies, see them driven before us, and hear the lamentations of their political commentators - even when we're flamingos.

I'm currently 78 pages into writing a book that chronicles Setianism across Ancient Egypt, Western occultism, Kemetic polytheism, and our homegrown group, the LV-426 Tradition.

Maranatha Crane's name is an homage to Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." 

#Halloween #Samhain #Pagan #Polytheist #Art #Music #Dullahan #Fae #HeadlessHorseman #Maranatha #Ichabod #WashingtonIrving
Maranatha Crane's name is an homage to Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." "Ichabod" means "No glory" or "The glory has departed" in Hebrew, referring to the capturing of the Ark of the Covenant in 1 Samuel 4:21. It is an expression of lament, and was partly chosen by Irving for his protagonist in reference to Ichabod's disgrace and departure at the story's conclusion. "Maranatha" is Aramaic for "Our Lord, come!" or "Our Lord has come," referring to the Second Coming of Christ in 1 Corinthians 16:22. It is an expression of victory, and I chose it to signify Maranatha's relentlessness against the Dullahan (her "Headless Horseman") and other unfeelie Fae. Two different versions of Maranatha (the Warrior and the Writer) cross paths in "Summer's End V."

At some point in the sixth grade, I saw Halloween III (1982) and The Terminator (1984), which both gave me nightmares.  In one dream, I saw kids being atomized by a demonic computer; in another, hordes of killer robots were blasting their way out from a haunted house for some reason.  These nightmares became the basis for CROM 9000 and its interdimensional robot invasion of Earth.  In high school, I discovered the work of Nigel Kneale, whose films combine science fiction with folk horror in some very unsettling ways.  (Like when hauntings turn out to be caused by geological anomalies in "The Stone Tape," or when "the devil" turns out to have been a race of ancient astronauts in "Quatermass and the Pit.")  Pretty much everything to do with Dr. Adam Quantamaker and his nefarious Quantamaker Group—including the Banshee, CROM 9000, the Stonehenge Tape, and the Neverdead—is an homage to Kneale's work.  Interest in Kneale bloomed into a full-blown passion for British folk and sci-fi horror, which is where my ideas about the Fae started to surface.  The Hamadruid first appeared in a short story I wrote called "The Green Cathedral," which was unfortunately quite terrible and will never see the light of day.

My maternal grandfather joined the ancestors in 1993, and this was my first experience of death. I missed him so badly, I dreamed up a grandpa who would literally always be there for his kids and grandkids (because he's undead). #Halloween #Samhain #Pagan #Polytheist #Art #Music #Fiction
Pictured: Sawyer Wynn, the invincible Neverdead, dressed for war against the evil Quantamaker Group in "Summer's End IV" My maternal grandfather joined the ancestors in 1993, and this was my first experience of death. I missed him so badly, I dreamed up a grandpa who would literally always be there for his kids and grandkids (because he's undead). Somehow, I blended this together with reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and trying to write a different kind of "slasher" story. This became the saga of Sawyer Wynn and the Neverdead. I actually wrote the Sawyer Wynn story as a screenplay when I was 16; but it was extremely confusing and not very well-written at all. I'm much happier with the story as it exists now in "Summer's End IV." Sawyer Wynn is named after the Celtic festival of Samhain. He was originally named "Samuel Hain" before I learned that Samhain is pronounced "SOW-in" in Gaelic.

In middle school, some neighborhood friends and I would run around every October, pretending this horrible goblin monster was on the loose and only we could stop it on Halloween. This game became the story of three unknown kids—Skull, Bones and Deadpan—on their quest against the evil Bucca Dhu.

The Het-Sem-Peckinpah character comes from frustrations I had with "killer mummy" movies, where the mummies always want to kidnap women they think are reincarnations of their ancient lovers.

#Halloween #Samhain #Pagan #Polytheist #Art #Music #Mummy #Vampire
Left: Chiroptera Right: Het-Sem-Peckinpah (From Summer's End III) The Het-Sem-Peckinpah character comes from frustrations I had with "killer mummy" movies, where the mummies always want to kidnap women they think are reincarnations of their ancient lovers. I wanted to see a mummy who's got more important shit to do, like jump out of helicopters, explode through walls, and clobber bank robbers. Then he wouldn't HAVE to kidnap anyone, because people would already be lining up outside his tomb just to get his autograph (which he would naturally write in hieroglyphics). Christopher Cushing—the actor who plays Het-Sem—is named after Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, but is also inspired by Tony Todd (a.k.a. the Candyman and Worf's brother) and Stephen Williams (a.k.a. "X" in The X-Files, "Creighton Duke" in Jason Goes To Hell, and "Rufus" in TV's Supernatural). The Chiroptera character comes from reading Batman comics and wondering what might happen if the titular character were a supervillian, rather than a superhero. This seemed like a good nemesis for Het-Sem-Peckinpah to fight in the in-universe fictional movies my "Summer End" characters would watch on TV every Halloween.

It's been fun working on the "Summer's End" series, and deeply meaningful. I started dreaming up several of these characters, and the prototypes for their storylines, as early as middle school.

This is what happens when I don't have my first coffee until the afternoon and I start mixing up all my favorite fandoms.
The character "Starker" from "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" (1982), with dialogue that switches out "Conal Cochran" for "Darth Vader." "Vader's probably listening. And if he is, I got one thing to say. It's the last Halloween for that lousy Death Star of his. Some pretty wild shit going on in there; I heard rumors!" "Think he'd hire me, a local boy? He brought in all those Stormtroopers from the outside!" "This year, I'm gonna get me a case and a half of Molotov cocktails and burn that Death Star right down!" "Hey, Vader?! FUCK YOU!"

The "Summer's End" series is a hexology of instrumental electronic albums that are "soundtracks" for imaginary Halloween-themed horror films. They feature characters and story ideas from my childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, etc. Some are almost as old as I am. I had trouble figuring out how all the stories are supposed to go, until I finally had the idea of writing "soundtracks" for them, or of "writing the stories as music." Three of the albums—I, III, and V—are in color, and are meant to be more "PG-13." The other three—II, IV, and VI—are in black-and-white, and are meant to be more "R-Rated." The first album is in color, and it establishes the fictional town of Wyrdham, Pennsylvania, founded by witches. It's like a "documentary" showing what a "normal" Halloween in Wyrdham might "look" (or sound) like. Most of the plot happens in "Haunted House," with trick-or-treaters encountering the Boogeyman at the Old Hackmore Place. Summer's End II (the first B&W album) is a total 180. This one introduces the theme of Wyrdham being a "nexus" between the worlds, and of interdimensional visitors like the Fae. It's also much darker and meaner than the first album, with some pretty apocalyptic shit happening, including the first appearance of CROM 9000. Summer's End III, the second color album, returns to a version of Wyrdham more like the original, but with characters traveling between different versions of the town. This one also introduces Hobb's Tree and the Three Reapers: Skull, Bones and Deadpan. Summer's End IV, the second B&W album, is a point of intersection between this series and my "Shieldmaidens of Set" trilogy. It introduces one of my oldest characters, Sawyer Wynn, and it builds further on the mad scientist themes from SE2. In some ways, this one might be my personal favorite. Summer's End V, the final color album, is an insane comic book-style crossover event, revisiting characters from both the color and B&W albums. It's also like a "Choo…
