The Mothman

Mothman is a Cryptid or Spirit from Point Pleasant, West Virginia. He appeared during the time span of 1966-1967. He is described as having large wings and glowing red eyes. He is often thought to be a Sandhill crane or other bird. However, aside from the usual legends of flying over cars and scaring a passerby the Mothman is also connected to the deaths of 46 people as he was spotted and connected to the Silver Bridge Collapse in 1967. After this the Mothman became more associated with being an omen of destruction or misfortune, perhaps a spirit who feasts on fear?! In typical American Fashion the Mothman is often considered either a Nuclear Mutant or an Alien. As such the Men in Black ended up being mixed into the story somehow.

A Common archetype in Hyperborean Spirituality is the goddess of death or the dead. Death personified when not given the role of Grim Reaper or other known deity is immediately thought of as female. Deities that fit this role include the Valkyries, Hel, Persephone, Prosperina, The Morrigan, Badb, Holda, Giltine, Morena, Tuonetar, and Ataegina to name a few. Women would often fulfill the role of prepping the body of the dead, as with birth they see us into the world and therefore they see as out of it. The goddesses of death are there to comfort the dead and allow them to move forward to the next life, they are a source of comfort as were our mothers in our youth and our wives in times of trouble. These goddesses were and are important, even the personified angel of death under Christianity is often depicted as female, in a call back to our blood memory of these beloved goddesses of our people. -TLK
