DAGON
”Vast, Polyphemus-like, and loathsome, it darted like a stupendous monster of nightmares to the monolith, about which it flung its gigantic scaly arms, the while it bowed its hideous head and gave vent to certain measured sounds. I think I went mad then.”
H.P. Lovecraft, Dagon

“It was called, she said, “The Esoteric Order of Dagon”, and was undoubtedly a debased, quasi-pagan thing imported from the East a century before, at a time when the Innsmouth fisheries seemed to be going barren.”

“‘All in the band of the faithful - Order o’ Dagon - an’ the children shud never die, but go back to the Mother Hydra an’ Father Dagon what we all come from onct … Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn! Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah-nagl fhtaga - ‘”
H.P. Lovecraft, The Shadow Over Innsmouth

“Dagon his name, sea-monster, upward man
And downward fish; yet had his temple high”
John Milton, Paradise Lost

HECATE
“Satan here held his Babylonish court, and in the blood of stainless childhood the leprous limbs of phosphorescent Lilith were laved. Incubi and succubae howled praise to Hecate, and headless moon-calves bleated to the Magna Mater.”
H.P. Lovecraft, The Horror At Red Hook

“Torch-bearing Hekate holy daughter of great-bosomed Nyx.”
Bacchylides, The Poems and Fragments

“He (Odysseus) shall pour on the shore offerings for thee, unhappy one, fearing the anger of the three-necked goddess (Hekate), for that he shall hurl the first stone at thy (Hekabe’s) stoning and begin the dark sacrifice to Haides.”
Lycophron, The Alexandra

O three-formed (triformis) Hecate, and ye gods by whose divinity Jason swore to me … I have yet curse more dire to call down on my husband – may he live.”
Lucius Annaeus Senecca, Medea

“In appearance she was frightful, and serpents hung hissing around her shoulders.”
Lewis Spence, An Encyclopedia Of Occultism

“Some people claimed that Hecate stood 100 feet tall and roamed the countryside with a pack of wild hounds.”
Mysteries Of the Unknown-Witches and Witchcraft

YOG-SOTHOTH

“Imagination called up the shocking form of fabulous Yog-Sothoth — only a congeries of iridescent globes, yet stupendous in its malign suggestiveness.”
H. P. Lovecraft, The Horror in the Museum

“Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth’s fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread.”

H. P. Lovecraft, The Dunwich Horror

“…great globes of light massing toward the opening, and not alone these, but the breaking apart of the nearest globes, and the protoplasmic flesh that flowed blackly outward to join together and form that eldritch, hideous horror from outer space, that spawn of the blankness of primal time, that tentacled amorphous monster which was the lurker at the threshold, whose mask was as a congeries of iridescent globes, the noxious Yog-Sothoth, who froths as primal slime in nuclear chaos beyond the nethermost

outposts of space and time!”

H.P. Lovecraft & August Derleth, The Lurker At the Threshold

NEREID

“Trident-bearing Neptune was there, and sportive tritons and fantastic nereids, and upon dolphins’ backs was balanced a vast crenulate shell wherein rode the grey and awful form of primal Nodens, Lord of the Great Abyss.”
H.P. Lovecraft, The Strange High House In the Mist

“Opiate oceans poured there, litten by suns that the eye may never behold and having in their whirlpools strange dolphins and sea-nymphs of unrememberable deeps.”
H.P. Lovecraft, Azathoth

“Nereids-Sea nymphs of the Mediterranean: the fifty granddaughters of Pontus the sea god and Gaea the earth mother. They have some relationship to the mermaids of other seas and oceans, and like them are extremely beautiful, but they do not have fishtails.”
Michael Page & Robert Ingpen, Encyclopedia Of Things That Never Were

Mon, 20 May 2013 14:01:10 -0400

SIREN

“Onward unswerving and relentless, and tittering hilariously to watch the chuckling and hysterics into which the siren song of night and the spheres had turned, that eldritch scaly monster bore its helpless rider; hurtling and shooting, cleaving the uttermost rim and spanning the outermost abysses;”

H.P. Lovecraft, The Dream-Quest Of Unknown Kadath

“These maidens later appeared, much like the Harpies, as the lower half of a bifd and above the waist the torso and head and arms of a woman.”

“By the later periods of development and the influence of Christianity, the image of the Siren seems to have been equated with that of the northern mermaid whilst retaining the name Siren and in some cased the original description.”

“Isidore of Seville gave them scales and webbed feet.”

Carol Rose, Giants, Monsters & Dragons

Mon, 20 May 2013 12:02:44 -0400

MERMAID
“22-Mermaid Legend—Encyc. Britt. XVI—40.”
H.P. Lovecraft, Commonplace Book

“This is the name of a female water being in the form of a beautiful young woman from the head to the waist, the rest of her body being like the tail of a huge fish.”

“Even the ancient accounts, as well as the more modern ones, mention the appearance of these supernaturals in conjunction with misfortune and disaster, although occasionally they can be benevolent.”
Carol Rose, Giants, Monsters and Dragons

Mon, 20 May 2013 10:01:22 -0400

MARTIN’S BEACH HORROR

“The object was some fifty feet in length, of roughly cylindrical shape, and about ten feet in diameter. It was unmistakably a gilled fish in its major affiliations; but with certain curious modifications such as rudimentary forelegs and six-toed feet in place of pectoral fins, which prompted the widest speculation. Its extraordinary mouth, its thick and scaly hide, and its single, deep-set eye were wonders scarcely less remarkable than its colossal dimensions;”
H.P. Lovecraft & Sonia H. Greene, The Horror At Martin’s Beach

THING WITH NO BODY
“But I had to shut my eyes again when I realised how many of the things were assembling—and when I glimpsed a certain object walking solemnly and steadily without any body above the waist.”
H.P. Lovecraft & Harry Houdini, Under the Pyramids

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:01:07 -0400

HUMANOID CROCODILE
“I would not look at the marching things. That I desperately resolved as I heard their creaking joints and nitrous wheezing above the dead music and the dead tramping. It was merciful that they did not speak … but God! their crazy torches began to cast shadows on the surface of those stupendous columns. Heaven take it away! Hippopotami should not have human hands and carry torches … men should not have the heads of crocodiles… .”
H.P. Lovecraft & Harry Houdini, Under the Pyramids

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 12:02:33 -0400

VAPOROUS BRAIN
“It was perhaps that which certain secret cults of earth have whispered of as YOG-SOTHOTH, and which has been a deity under other names; that which the crustaceans of Yuggoth worship as the Beyond-One, and which the vaporous brains of the spiral nebulae know by an untranslatable Sign—yet in a flash the Carter-facet realised how slight and fractional all these conceptions are.”
H.P. Lovecraft & E. Hoffman Price, Through the Gates Of the Silver Key

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:01:08 -0400

UNKNOWN LURKER

“And the conches of the tritons gave weird blasts, and the nereids made strange sounds by striking on the grotesque resonant shells of unknown lurkers in black sea-caves.”

H.P. Lovecraft, The Strange High House In the Mist

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 10:01:21 -0400

THING WITH THE FEELERS

“What seemed to be sheer fantasy was the superstitious lore—that Wizard Potter had ‘called something down from the sky, and it lived with him or in him until he died’;—that a late traveler, found in a dying state along the main road, had gasped out something about ‘that thing with the feelers-slimy, rubbery thing with the suckers on its feelers’ that came out of the wood and attacked him-and a good deal more of the same kind of lore.”
H.P. Lovecraft & August Derleth, Witches’ Hollow

Wed, 24 Apr 2013 15:31:00 -0400

MONSTROUS BAT

“She affirm’d, and her good neighbours likewise, that it had been borne to her, and took oath that she did not know by what manner it had come upon her, for it was neither Beast nor Man but like to a monstrous Bat with human face. It made no sound but look’d at all and sundry with baleful eyes. There were those who swore that it bore a frightful resemblance to the Face of one long dead, one Richard Bellingham or Bollinhan who is affirm’d to have vanished utterly after consort with Daemons in the country of New Dunnich. The horrible Beast-Man was examined by the Court of Azzizes and the which then burnt by Order of the High-Sherif on the 5th of June in the year 1788.”
H.P. Lovecraft & August Derleth, The Lurker At the Threshold

BABYLONIAN GORGONEION: My partner Michael Bukowski has had his work stolen a number of times...:

Ok, I suppose I should address this. Some dummo has been using my work without my permission to make a really low quality print to order book on amazon. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. For one, the quality and layout is awful. For two, I did NOT GIVE PERMISSION to this person to do this. For three, I am selling my own print versions of my drawings at my site, http://yog-blogsoth.blogspot.com/p/scary-store.html.

Expect a much longer winded rant in the future…

babyloniangorgoneion:

My partner Michael Bukowski has had his work stolen a number of times but this recently discovered piece of shit is next level. A person named Boris Lariushin is offering an expensive low quality print to order book of low res images stolen from Mike’s blog and an ebook version (hilarious because Mikes blog IS essentially a free ebook of these images). It looks like this guy has done this several times simply adding his name as an author to books of stolen work. If you see this DO NOT BUY IT you are not getting a quality product and you ARE NOT supporting the artist who had nothing to do with this and is very concerned about the quality of the products he does make. If you see this mentioned in forums call it out as what it is, STOLEN. If you want to support Mike and his work you can follow his blog here and you can buy the high quality professionally printed and hand assembled zines HE makes of his work. On a personal note FUCK THIS GUY and fuck everyone who steals from hard working artists you are a bunch of parasitic creeps.
