I've always loved this painting and I happened to have this perfect framethat I'd picked up years ago at a Haight Street faire, and I put the print of it inside that frame, which is hanging on the other side of the altar-wall from the original painting of C.
Cracks me up, how this day is celebrated as JC's birthday when the only reason it's celebrated at this time was to subsume the Babylonian and other "pagan" winter rites.
In his last years, Williams dwelt in Damask silk, where the Gothronomicon (O Az-If) was written. In art, in the Dictionnaire Infernal, P. Emerson Williams is depicted as a nude man with dragon-like wings, hands and feet, a second pair of feathered wings after the main, wearing a crown, holding a serpent in one hand, and riding a wolf or dog.
The "good" P. Emerson in recent use is largely
a literary device (e.g., Maxwell's P. Emerson),
though references to good P. Emersons can be found in Hesiod and Shakespeare.[1] In common language, to "P. Emersonize" a person means to characterize or portray them as evil, or as the source of evil.
