oh boy!

I found a book called Dreams That Burn In The Night (1982) and in first chapter Secret of The White Head-Hawk, page 25, begins a strange situation, there is a valley where a demon resides, the demon is named Aomi, ( Valley of Aomi) and this Aomi does pretty much what I planted for my Aomi.  The Aomi in this chapter is a being that  purges people from their evilness and does that by shapeshifting and dying many many times. *mind blown*

The Symposium

Who says that monsters have to be evil?

When there is evil disguised as justice there is no limits to the horror that will unfold.

Robbaz

Aomi is the type of person that would use 'evil' to fight evil.

but then Aomi is amoral and has a tendency to be an obnoxious asshole

BUT is it Aomi that is the jerk or the demon  within?

Aglaophotis may have been a factual herb, sometimes connected in identity to the European peony. Though the authenticity of the text is often times called into question, Aglaophotis is named as an element needed to work spells in the Simon Necronomicon. The Greek doctor Dioscorides named Aglaophotis as a member of the peony family, Paeoniaceae. The European peony itself was used as a medicinal herb and is named for physician Paeon, a disciple of Asclepius, the Greek god of healing. Various preparations of peonies are used in traditional Chinese medicine as an antifungal, and also to treat wounds, pain, fever and spasms (antispasmodic), and central nervous system incentives. The herb has been used to preventive measures against nightmares in the 19th century; it also was used for female infertility treatment that would stimulate uterus muscles. Ironically, it has a vast influence against Incubus. In certain cultures, it is believed that uncontrollable movements of the body can be a sign of possession by a supernatural being. This could infer that the use of Aglaophotis, in the Silent Hill series, to dispel evil, is a clever wordplay on the actual medicinal properties of various species of peonies. Aglaophotis can also be found in the Kabbalah. It was used as a medicinal herb that had the effect of expelling evil. Simultaneously, Aglaophotis has been known to be mentioned in works of occultism, the exact inverse of what would be said in a supposedly holy book.

-----------------

Found in Silent Hill 3, this memo gives a brief description of Aglaophotis.     Aglaophotis     Red liquid or crystals resembling     blood. According to the Kabbalah,     the name is taken from an herb with     the power to dispel evil spirits. It is     said to grow in Arabian deserts.     It may be vaporized or applied as     a poultice to guard against demons.     It is powerful, but as it is rare, it is     extremely difficult to obtain. A book in Silent Hill: Play Novel suggests Algaophotis is also made using White Claudia.     [...........tis]     ..de from from the above-mentioned White Claudia,......dr...has..........     u....to perform exor......

Cornell, Castlevania: Judgement

Some people will do terrible things simply because they want to and they can, not that they didn't know it was wrong, they knew it was wrong and did it anyway.

You were not raped because of what you wore. You were not raped because you had gotten drunk and passed out. You were not raped because of how you behaved. You were not raped because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. You were raped because there are evil people in this world. People that will take any opportunity to harm. People that will ignore the pleas to stop. People that will relish inflicting pain. People that enjoy taking power and choice from others. Society can say as much as it wants about how wrong it is to rape. Society can go on and on about that it should stop. Society can express many ways about prevention. There will always be evil people in this world. People that will take any opportunity to harm. People that will ignore the pleas to stop. People that will relish inflicting pain. There will always be evil people in this world.

Various Nordic Mythology Creatures

A compilation of various Nordic mythology creatures. It's actually more Danish than Norwegian. The Norwegians had surprisingly few creatures besides trolls and huldras. All information and art are from Humon  : http://humon.deviantart.com/ Party Party Folks - http://humon.deviantart.com/art/Follow-us-into-the-forest-256198371 From left to right: Näcken (nix), trold/troll, lygtemand (light/lamp man), ellepige (elf girl made of mist), nisse/tomte (gnome), dwarf, huldra (a form of elf), slattenpatte (saggy breast,a form of elf/troll), mosekone (bog woman, another form of elf), huldufólk (elf from Iceland). I love Nordic mythology creatures far more than what's healthy. When people want to use one of these guys in a story they often ask me which other mythological creatures they usually interact with, and the answer is: all of them. It's pretty popular to draw them all partying together, for example. When using these creatures it's important to understand that they are considered a people, with each race having their own society, norms and laws (except näcken who is a more solitary creature). So they have every day lives, meet, make friends and fight each other across races. Also, one thing they all have in common is that if humans treat them right they will be helpful and make friends with the humans, but if humans disrespect them they will take revenge. Some are easier than others to befriend. The nisse/tomte lives on farms and will help the farmer as long as he remembers to feed him and don't tease the nisse/tomte too much. The trolls are pretty easy as well (at least in Denmark and parts of Sweden). The various elfs however are more difficult and humans should only ever interact with them if they know what they're doing, or the elfs will make them go crazy. And don't forget, they have special power over people who think about sex. ========================================================== Baddie Baddies - http://humon.deviantart.com/art/Follow-us-258237249 Helhesten (Hel Horse): It's death in the form of a horse. It walks around at night on it's three legs (or missing it's head), and should you hear it come your way don't look at it. It comes to collect a soul, but anyone else who sees it will die as well a few days later. Maren: Creatures known in many countries, who rides sleeping people, causing nightmares, but in the North it is said to be a human who turns into this creature at night and goes to hug those they love in a deadly grip. In some versions it is said that men turn into werewolves and women into maren. Hvidslangen (White Snake): A huge white snake that is usually surrounded by millions of normal snakes, all twirling around it's body to protect it. It is said to bring death and sorrow. Kirkevare (Church protector): A very powerful spirit that protects churches, and are the enemies of the nature spirits. There are many stories of how people tried to build a church, but during the night the trolls would tear it all down because they hated the sound of the church bells. To prevent this people would use and ancient method from heathen times and bury a living creature on the building site. To make it more Christian they often used a lamb, but it could be any animal or even a human. The spirit would then protect the place from bjergfolk and ellefolk, and show itself to people who were about to die and were to be buried in the local graveyard. Kirkegrim: Another creature buried alive under churches, usually a black sow, which was far more dangerous than the kirkevare. While the kirkevare took care of the nature spirits, the kirkegrim took care of humans, both the dead and the living. They chased away children who played in the graveyard, or young people who wanted a peaceful place to make love. They also chased the souls of evil people out of the graveyard where they turned into night ravens. A more peaceful job was to show the priest where to bury the dead. Natteravn (Night raven): The souls of evil people who did not deserve to be buried in the church's graveyard. Quite fond of hacking people's eyes out. Den Sorte Mand (The black man): A very scary creature said to live in wells. He has no purpose other than to scare the living daylight out of people who come to collect water and pull them down if they're not quick enough. Valravn (War raven): A raven that has eaten of the dead on a battlefield and has gained human intelligence that way. If they drink the blood of a newborn boy they will be able to turn into a knight, or as here, a half wolf half raven creature. Extreamly evil and dangerous. Can be befriended if you give it your firstborn baby. All information and art are from Humon  : http://humon.deviantart.com/
