WELCOME TO THE ODDITORIUM

Greetings. I'm Kei, a lone ranger from the lovely state of California. Demiguy, transmasculine, they/them or he/him, INTJ, gray-aro/gray-ace, anarcho-communist, gay vampire, nature-lover. A throwback child lost in the wrong era. I love silent film, vintage & Japanese fashion, the occult/macabre, and many other things. 21. Feel free to message me, I don't bite much! My interests are rather vast, so see "links" for my other blogs!

[das-spooky-deactivated20130620]

In demonology, Malphas is a mighty Great President (a Prince to some authors) of Hell, having forty legions of demons under his command. He builds houses, high towers and strongholds, throws down the buildings of the enemies, can destroy the enemies’ desires or thoughts (and/or make them known to the conjurer) and all what they have done, gives good familiars, and can bring quickly artificers together from all places of the world.

Malphas accepts willingly and kindly any sacrifice offered to him, but then he will deceive the conjurer.

He is depicted as a crow that after a while or under request changes shape into a man, and speaks with a hoarse voice.

Eugène Atget: Boulevard de Strasbourg, Corsets, Paris, 1912

In Atget’s inventory of Paris, shop windows figure prominently and the most arresting feature mannequin displays. In the 1920s the Surrealists recognized in Atget a kindred spirit and reproduced a number of his photographs in their journals and reviews. Antiquated mannequins such as the ones depicted here struck them as haunting, dreamlike analogues to the human form.
