Skull T-shirt - The Horned One

The artist Nomaddium treats us again with the very best with her own personal version of The Horned One. The cranium, slightly ill-formed, is both familiar and eerie, it reminds the humans' ones but doesn't present all of their distinctive features. The ram horns richly detailed are still soaked in the blood of sins and their proportions reflect the mighty power of their former host. The eyes sockets, dark and profound as the deepest nights, resemble the chasm in which Samaël was thrown when he fell from Paradise before becoming Lucifer. As for the mark in the front, it's been carved as a final curse. This double M in overlay is of course a nod to yours truly, Memento Mori. A drop of crimson blood complete logically the artwork, serving as a backdrop to set a macabre tone to this Skull T-shirt The Horned One.
Are-you ready? Because he, himself, is eagerly waiting for you.

History: The Almighty Power threw him
Down in flames from the skies of Heaven
With terrible flame and destruction, down
To the bottomless pit of hell, to live there
Bound in unbreakable chains, burned with punishing fire…
Milton - Paradise Lost
We would be pretty vain to try and summarize the whole backstory of the devil in a just a few lines but Milton did it for us. Each faith does seem to have its own version of the evil one and its own names to depict The one who sow dissent. The most ancien known text, The Epic of Gilgamesh, already presented him under the traits of Hunawa. It was Ahriman for the Persians, Seth for the Egyptians and so forth. He who bear many names over the eras and beliefs. This Skull T-shirt The Horned One is in our case inspired by Baphomet and the Goat of Mendes.
