There is a chapel near Dublin that is famous for its darker side. The chapel is Saint Michans and tourists do not go there to see fine woodwork or old world architecture, actually, they come there for the mummies.
Built on the site of an early Danish chapel (1095), the current structure dates largely from a […]
I ran into this company recently that turned the ashes of your loved ones into gems. After thinking about it for a second I had to laugh. As bizarre as an engagement ring made out of your your beau’s grandma would be, it certainly gives new meaning to “family jewels”.
In fact, there are companies that […]
This is a bit morbid. This is a cemetery in Hallstatt, Austria. Its not like any other… it’s really small. When they run out of room, they simply dig you up, paint your name on your skull and stack it with the rest of the overcrowded population. Now, I did hear if you have […]
There is a church in the Czech Republic where the alters, chandaliers, bells and art are all made of Human bones. The Church is called the Sedlec Ossuary and the story behind it is a bit bizarre.
40,000 dead, the skulls and skeletons, centuries of war and plague victims, all form the morbid artwork that fills […]
Just when we all thought witchcraft trials were a thing better left to the history books, Those religious fanatics in the Middle East bring the macabre witch hunts into the modern age…Off with her head I guess since that is the preferred way off execution. Burning at the stake is a bit outdated in 2008.

Throughout the centuries our primal fears have neither waned nor changed; what we fear today is not new. Mankind has been fearing the same things since evolution has made it possible to ponder. There is no deeper fear than the fear of death or the afterlife. No matter what our religious beliefs, the fear of […]
18) Rhymester’s Shadow
With roots and filled-in hollow air,
He writes to you poetic obscurities;
He goes, my friend, where
The homeless dare: where
“Beauty is for the few” and into
The boundless cosmos and tombs;
Into and onto exotic landscapes,
Where poems—like bones—
Have decomposed;
Where darkness comes like all shadows:
To lock you in its tombs….
Dim and gray is his twilight,
As slowly dies his […]
34) Eros Ploy
From her mind to her clitoris,
To her nipples and lips,
Wooed like a bird perched on a stick:
She melted like butter
Until there was no other.
35) Tagaririm (Arch devil Belphegor)
He speaks only in Aramaic, calling up the dead—
For vagary, spells and signs, to hide
The Atziloth scrolls, until the four heavens divide,
Until—until the end of time….
From […]
The Macabre Poems
1) The Unreal
Because you do not see—
Evil says: conscience is dead!
Aye! it is the insight of madness
Penetrating the veils of untruth—
For few are we:
For many are they….
2) Space Vampire
O solar mass, pull back:
black holes far and near—
those vampires—
devour stars like spiders bugs
Storms that sunder birds,
they, they are the curse
of the universe.
3) Otherwhere

Cornell has a great library of old engravings and art. Below are some of the witchcraft and demonic engravings.
The religious supernatural recognizes - zed a self torn between transcendent forces that fought for its possession.
The Devil and his minions, the Demons, engaged in a struggle for the soul with the angels and guardian spirits. […]
