The Origins of Carnival & Fasching – A Celebration of Chaos, Masks & Mysticism

February 18, 2025

A Time of Wild Festivities & Ancient Traditions Long before modern parades and masquerade balls, Carnival (or Fasching in German-speaking regions) had its roots in ancient fertility rites, winter banishment ceremonies, and pre-Christian pagan traditions. From the Roman Saturnalia [wiki] (Roman festival of mischief & excess) to the Norse Disablot [wiki], people have always welcomed … More The Origins of Carnival & Fasching – A Celebration of Chaos, Masks & Mysticism

Winters End – Spring Dread

March 28, 2020

Necrosis is the right place for all who love Halloween just enough to enjoy it throughout the year. With my creation for this round [March 27th – April 12th] I lean towards the Celtic god Cernunnos [wiki] and the movie Blair Witch Project [wiki]. The look is between a scarecrow and a crucified.

The macabre whispers are carried through the breeze that flows through the forests and beach. Those with sensitive hearing may pick up on what is … More Dark Prayers..

A Soft Ruckus Echoes

November 25, 2013

Anyone who was close enough may have heard the sounds of dragging crates and logs and the sound of dropping wood on wood echoing behind an alley way of the human village. After several minutes of this the door to the mines from the village was blocked.
