Burned Raven Tales returns to our pages with another mysterious artifact- the Eldritch Totem. Cast in resin with a bronze powder finish.
"These totems depict an ancient god and are carried by their worshipers. Many are found in the ocean as offerings to invoke the ancient gods help or blessing."
This intriguing artifact, ostensibly dating to ancient Mesopotamia, comes to us from collector Geoalienz:
"The truth is, there is evidence linking Cthulhu to the ancient Mesopotamians. Statues of the creature have been found in Sumerian, Babylonian and Assyrian temples and palaces. Stories of a powerful being that descended from the stars and brought knowledge to mankind were passed down through oral tradition by scribes writing on clay tablets in ancient times."
The unusual piece features an effigy of Cthulhu nestled within a carved stone casket. I believe this is the first time I've come across a statuette of the Great Old One dating back to the Akkadian era.
Over on YouTube, Mythical Makers Workshop has posted a detailed tutorial on creating a swirling magic potion. It uses a suspension of mica powder to create the swirling effect and a magnetic stirrer to keep the potion moving. If the mica effect looks familiar, it's the same technique I posted way back in 2010. Back then magnetic stirrers were $50+. Now you can pick up multiple models for just $20 over on Amazon.
We've featured Creafae's work before, but their latest is an absolute banger. It's a unique specimen from one of the greatest suppressed events of the 20th century- the head of one of the alien Greys that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico back in 1947. The gaff itself is cool, but it's the dozens of supporting documents and items that really push it to the next level. And it's all collected in a vintage aluminum specimen case with custom labeling.
These pictures really don't do it justice. Clock through to check out the full gallery.
"Lover in the Ice" is one of the most popular Delta Green scenarios from Arc Dream Publishing. Over on Reddit, Nelog has posted a selection of handouts from his run, which time-shifted the adventure back into the 1980s. You can access the Google Docs file directly over here.
After doing this for nearly twenty years I love stumbling across a new take on the traditional Cthulhu idol. This highly stylized "Deep Ward" sculpt comes to us from Fox Henderson at the Monkey Rodeo.
