For my last weird western I'll mention Bone Tomahawk (2015), which tells the gruesome tale of some cave dwelling cannibalistic troglodytes who are tracked down by a reluctant sheriff (Kurt Russell) & his posse. The film creates its own bleak western mythology. 7/7 #WyrdWednesday

Asteroid Ceres is named after the Roman goddess associated with agriculture, fertility, motherly relations & funeral rites among other things. Astrologers equate her placement in our birth charts with our nurturing qualities & how we process grief, etc #WyrdWednesday #AsteroidDay
Finally saw an Andy Milligan film I really enjoyed & recommend. Also saw Steve Cochran's last film before his mysterious death.

In volume 8 of Taboo P. Craig Russell & David Sexton depict a chat between Christ & Lucifer that toys with Christian mythology & ends in blasphemy. I may get booted off Twitter if I share the last panel but here's some pages & cover art by Michael Zulli for #WyrdWednesday 4/5
One miracle associated with St. Patrick is the "Miracle of the Pigs." While escaping slavery St. Patrick & his fellow travelers were starving. Food miraculously appeared to him in the form of a herd of swine & pigs became a symbol of good luck #WyrdWednesday #StPatricksDay
