The first "Summer's End" album is the simplest. The tales in this volume are less like actual stories with plotlines running from beginning to end, and more like brief snippets of how people in Wyrdham normally live and observe Halloween. gbmarian.bandcamp.com/album/summer...

Each "Summer's End" album takes place in its own unique timeline and universe, and different versions of the same characters will sometimes appear across multiple stories. #Halloween #Samhain #Music #Darkwave #Synthwave #Instrumental #Industrial #Soundtracks #Horror #Film #Pagan #Polytheist #Witch

Maranatha Crane as she appears in "Summer's End III" (2022) - a white-haired woman dressed in black, and armed with a really big gun. She is directly descended from Ichabod Crane, and her arch-nemesis is the Dullahan, a headless Lord of the Fae who appears in Wyrdham riding a motorcycle.

Two different versions of Maranatha Crane meet each other in "Summer's End V" (2024): Maranatha the Warrior, and Maranatha the Writer.

Maranatha the Warrior (left) is the same version of Maranatha that battled the Dullahan. She also leads the human resistance against CROM 9000, an artificial intelligence that has gone insane.

Maranatha the Writer (right) is a fantasy novelist who dreams about Maranatha the Warrior's battles, and who writes them as novels. She has no idea that Maranatha the Warrior is actually real until the Warrior shows up at her house, asking for her help against CROM 9000.

I'm just absolutely livid. I can't believe we live in a country that treats children like this. You can't expect kids to sit still or not fidget. You can't expect them to understand the law. You can't even expect them to understand what "voluntary departure" means. www.cnn.com/2026/09/28/p...

From: https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/28/politics/texas-immigration-court-minors

Asked whether there was a reason he couldn’t return to Honduras, Angel told the judge, “My mom and almost my entire family are here. It’s too dangerous to go back.”

But that wasn’t enough for the judge, who told the boy he did not qualify for asylum. “Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” The judge asked.

“I don’t know,” Angel replied before bursting into tears. He stared ahead stoically and continued to cry, eventually saying: “I have no one. I have nothing.”

“I understand, but based on your answers, US immigration laws are very strict,” the judge concluded, and gave Angel until the end of the month to appeal his deportation order.

In 1956 the late great PETER CUSHING invited a film crew into his Kensington home to show off his hobby — painting miniature toy soldiers, and playing with them in the rules set down by fellow toy soldier hobbyist H.G. Wells.

I love that the author was thoughtful enough to include this: "She is usually equated with the Greek Hera and Roman Juno. It is a useful equivalence for orientation, although Etruscan deities had their own identities, and it is best not to take the comparison literally."

As a Setian of the LV-426 Tradition, I believe Set is a real, living God of storms, deserts, nighttime, foreigners, otherness, disruption, and necessary change; He is not just a psychological archetype. #Setian #Setianism #Sutekh #Kemetic #Egyptian #Polythest #Pagan #spirituality #religion

Pictured: The Egyptian God Set (left) with a pentagram in the background. The text to the right reads:

Set's Charge to LV-426 Clergy (March 2016):

"I am SET;
I am the Night Hunter,
The Lord of the Wastelands,
And the Bringer of Storms.

"I haunt the Frontier of Creation;
I ritually slay the Mouth of Madness
And its uncreated brood.

"There is none in the Company of Ra
Who can exist without Me.

"Do not bow to Me like a slave,
But do what is right (Ma'at) in My name,
And you shall be warriors enough.

"Draw down My Iron
To defeat any evil in your midst,
And I will accept your victories as offerings.

"Speak to Me every seventh night,
And We will replenish Our strength together.

"I will not fight your battles for you,
For I have enough of My own;
But you can become Me
And KILL THE SERPENT
Whenever you have need.

"Do all of this,
And I will welcome you to the Frontier
When you take your last breath."

Happy weekend! 🦛 ❤️ Two ancient Egyptian blue faience hippos made by artisans some 3,800 years ago! Neues Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows two blue-green Egyptian faience hippopotamus figurines displayed on a white museum surface at the Neues Museum in Berlin. The larger hippo on the right sits upright on its haunches with short front legs planted forward, head turned to the left with mouth open, as if smiling. It is 9 cm in length. The smaller hippo on the left lies in a reclining or resting pose, with body close to the ground. It measures 4.8cm in length. Both are decorated with black lotus flower and aquatic river plant motifs. The museum display makes them appear like a mother and her baby hippo! 🥰

Egyptian blue faience is a ceramic material made of ground quartz. The decoration depicts Nile river plants such as water weed and lotus flowers found in their marsh habitat. In ancient Egypt lotus flowers were associated with regeneration as they open in the morning and close at night, symbolising rebirth. Whilst ancient Egyptians were well aware of the danger and destructive power of hippos, they were also seen as an animal with revitalizing power. An animal from the fertile mud of the Nile, fiercely protective of their young, hippos embodied divine powers guaranteeing rebirth. Blue faience hippos have been found in Middle Kingdom tombs of high ranking officials. It's thought they were placed in the tombs to aid the rebirth of the deceased.

Female Dancers and Musicians in Funeral Procession, limestone bas relief, New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, reign of Rameses II, ca. 1250 BC, Egypt Museum, Cairo. Reminds me of a New Orleans Jazz Funeral! #art #sculpture #egyptianart #ancient

From the museum: “A jubilation scene, probably from a funeral procession, it depicts a group of women dancing and drumming opposite rows of soldiers, priests, and dignitaries.”
