A is for Absinth - a Gothic Alphabet

I gotta say, when we get to stuff like xylophone and zoroastrianism, we're pretty much looking at the end of this. Well, we're trying, I guess! In relation to this, I have to add: E is for Ereshkigal, the Babylonian Goddess of the Underworld. Now there's a truly fucking gothic tragedy! _________________ It's been swell, but the swelling's gone down.

Often seen in Frankenstein and other B-grade horror movies. (Incidentally, Nergal of the band Behemoth is recovering from his illness and hopes to have a new record in 2012.) _________________ Ahhh...I get to stay inside.

Krampus is a popular figure in Austria, and here you can see a Christmastime Krampus parade (in the city of Graz, Austria). Yay, Krampus! He's my kind of Christmas icon! -- Nephele

And Taygete is also the name of a moon of Jupiter. It is retrograde (moving backwards in orbit) and irregular (on an inclined, eccentric orbit, and captured rather than formed from Jupiter). _________________ Ahhh...I get to stay inside.
