The Bloody Return of Kali

The old gods of India have been lurking in the shadows for far too long. The Goddess Kali has decided to return to glory in a bloody fashion and regain her role of preeminence. In her latest demand for ritual sacrifice, the goddess of destruction and rebirth, has summoned her faithful followers to draw the blood of their own newborn infants.

One of her devout followers heard her lust for blood. Rajkumar Chaurasia gave his infant son a bath before taking him to a Durga temple in order to prepare him for his journey into the goddess' arms. Upon returning from the Durga temple, Chaurasia brought his son into a room sanctified in the glory of Kali. He proceeded to take an axe to his son, fulfilling the Goddess' dark desire for the blood of the supreme innocents.

The Indian police quickly arrested Chaurasia, but Kali's wishes were fulfilled and the path to her bloody, glorious return has been paved. The subcontinent of India should be prepared for her wrath. The new Raktabija will be consumed just as the old were and Kali will once again dance on the corpses of the slain.

Necromancers in England! Oh My!

Archaeologists are not necromancers, but the university educated team from Leicester is crossing the line in the sand.  They have broken into the hallowed grounds of the Grey Friars monastery in search of King Richard III of England.  They have not found the king, but instead have stumbled onto a tomb no one, but God was supposed to find.  Not only have they found a tomb purportedly a hundred years older than Richard III, but this tomb contains a coffin with another coffin within it. Both coffins are lined with lead.  Do these fools not see this body was sealed within a second layer to keep meddlers, thieves, and especially necromancers out!

Baltus Hafez has found new followers and recreated his cult of Imhotep at Leicester.   It is too late to put a stop to the dark necromantic ritual on the foul and despicable creature that was locked away.  Our only hope lies with Rick O’Connell and Ardeth Bay.  Otherwise this could just be the beginning of all out takeover by the undead and their necromancer masters.

Goodness Gracious, Great Balls of Doom!

Deep beneath the Earth's crust lurk many wonders from the ancient world, some great, some terrible, some utterly inscrutable. Archaeology's latest find combines all three in a ruined temple from the ancient Mexican city of Teotihuaca, whose floor was discovered littered with mysterious, gold-colored orbs.

The original purpose of these spherical enigmas is not known, but the tunnels leading out of the temple had been carefully packed with rubble and debris, as though the residents wanted to keep them hidden forever. The ancient Teotihuacans are known to have practiced ritual human sacrifice, so it seems likely that they managed to awaken something dark and terrible, an antediluvian horror that man was never meant to see.

Hollywood has taught us time and again that no good can come from disturbing the relics of the past, especially those that were intentionally hidden from us. Just as the Curse of the Mummy's Tomb claimed so many lives back in the 1930s, so will these orbs doubtless bring furious retribution down upon our meddling heads.

Power of the Blood Sacrifice

A couple thousands of years ago in the Barbarous Age, the ancient and powerful Zapotec civilization ruled over the Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico.  These ancient people were led by a hierarchy of priests, who gained their strength and power from ritual sacrifices and worshiping their mighty gods in a 4,090 square foot temple.

The temple contained many riches from ceramic vessels, whistles and incense burners.  These objects showed the power the priests were able to display.  The main source of their power came from their ritual sacrifices.  Not only were turkeys and doves sacrificed to the gods, but also humans.  Yes, the priests used human blood sacrifice to control and maintain power.

The power of their blood rituals allowed them to develop agriculture, calendars and the written word.  The priests were not to be taken lightly and those who underestimated them were brought to the temple to be consumed by the gods.  The priests wielded their power with abandon, the Valley was easily conquered with the Might of the Blood Sacrifice.
