11th March 2017

1) I am asking still about what is at the core of the Necronom VII painting. Perhaps the protrusion coming from the back of the neck of the entity and going down the back of the should looks like an insect leg, perhaps the ear replaces the humanoid head with its face fused into something, perhaps the eye is a window to look through, but I'm really finding nothing at the moment. I am still waiting to understand the other side of this painting. There is the ram horn running along the upper half of the head, but is there something more to this. I start to wonder if there's another Micronaut to consider, perhaps the Space Glider because that has a helmet with a ridge on top of it, but nothing is jumping up and stating itself in an obvious way. Equally I'm still asking about Necronom VI. I'm still looking to see if there is anything more within this painting that might be the core. The shadowy area on the left, I might start to think reminds me of a dog face. Perhaps this elongated twisted formation with the stunted demons has something angelic about it. I might be thinking of the chain of angels from Dorothea Tanning's Guardian Angels, although this is not really connected to this painting. This has been a difficult one to dig into the depths of as well.

2) Updated Carl Sagan and Alien with a new quote from a Q&A
