This Sunday!! Reposted from @ghostsofchristmasmarket (@get_regrann) - Don’t say we didn’t warn you 👹 Krampus is coming to Ghosts of Christmas! Don your finest Yuletide apparel and get your picture taken with the Christmas Devil 👹 We are pleased to introduce @corviidart as one of our Krampus performers! . . . Raven Ebner is a multi-media artist and performer who specializes in illustration, painting, sculpture, fabrication, costuming, jewelry, choreography and dance. A couple of years ago they constructed an elaborate Baphomet costume, which was adapted to fit the role of Krampus for the holiday season. The re-emergence of the darker side of the winter holidays is near and dear to Raven's heart, as they believe that the shadow is just as important as the light, especially when engaging in cultural rituals and traditions. Besides, it is within their own germanic heritage that this anti-saint arose. You can see Raven's other visual art works and performances at www.deathvine.com.

Going to be a Monstrously good time! Reposted from @themenageriealameda (@get_regrann) - During a period in the 1600’s it became popular for authors to write manuals to offer advice on marriage, sex, pregnancy and midwifery. In 1651 a manual on these subjects called Aristotle’s Masterpiece was published. The book was not written by Aristotle but written by a pseudo- Aristotle, an author who has taken the name for his own publication, a common occurrence at this time. While Aristotle’s Masterpiece provided detailed scientific information on anatomy such as the sex organs, it also refers to other sources such as witchcraft, religion, astrology and old wive’s tales such as virgins should not be allowed near salt of spices. The book devotes much to superstition and the birth of “monsters,” including many woodcut illustrations depicting these “monsters” (one of a man with a bushy dog’s tail). Speculations as to how to avoid giving birth to a monster such as “don’t have sex with animals “ “or don’t have sex while menstruating” were given. It is a theory that these “monster” images, thought that they are “begot by women’s unnatural lying with beasts,” were a factor that led to the book being banned in Britain until 1960. Despite being banned the manual still circulated and was able inform those searching for true love that carrying around a quail’s heart can help you achieve that goal. . ***TICKETS ON SALE NOW*** The Menagerie Holiday Oddities Market SAT 12/21 11-5pm: VIP tickets include 9am entry, Stoker presentation, swag & light breakfast bites☕️$5 General Admission Tickets available in advance or at the door-Advance GA tix get priority entry at 11am👉Eventbrite : Follow us on FB! . . . #themenageriealameda #sfoddities #oddities #odditiesandcuriousities #odditiesforsale #odditiesmarket #curiosities #odditorium #bayareaevents #cabinetofcuriousity #wunderkammer #odditiesofinstagram #superstitions #oldwivestale #advice #monster #monsters #medicaloddities - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ZwDvmhzve/?igshid=vkclmvd7g406

December is approaching! Goat yer tickets by tha balls! 🤣🐐🏀🏀🏨 Reposted from @themenageriealameda (@get_regrann) - Dr. John Brinkley gained notoriety in the early 1900’s for his invention of a male virility surgery which involved transplanting goat testicles into human male testicles. However, Brinkley had never completed medical school and his diploma had been purchased from a “diploma mill.” For the first clinic he opened, heavy adverts were mailed to homes imploring men who felt lacking in “manly vigor” to come receive a treatment, an injection, of a medicine called “electric medicine from Germany” to revive them. In reality Brinkley was injecting colored water into patients, charging them mightily. After his first goat transplant, Brinkley made an ad featuring the son his patient had conceived after the surgery and men and women began flocking to his clinic, women receiving goat ovary transplants for various ailments. Many people reportedly became sick or died after being treated by Brinkley. There were accounts of him performing surgeries in an unsterile environment, while intoxicated and without credentials. Even with the collected reports of fraud over the years, Brinkley was becoming famous and he decided to promote himself with staged surgeries for the press and running his own radio station. Brinkley’s showmanship and marketing ideas seemed to overshadow all the criticism over his career. Even though Brinkley made millions from his treatments, he died penniless from all the lawsuits over the years. 🐐 ***The Menagerie Holiday Oddities Market TICKETS ON SALE NOW***limited VIP Advance tix include 9am entry, Stoker on Stoker, swag and light breakfast ☕️General Admission Advance tix online or $5/door-Advance tix get priority entry starting at 11am. 👉Eventbrite 👣Follow us on FB - The Menagerie Holiday Oddities Market SAT 12/21 11-5pm 🐐 . . . #themenageriealameda #sfoddities #oddities #odditiesandcuriousities #odditiesmarket #curiosities #odditorium #bayareaevents #cabinetofcuriousity #fraud #medicalhistory #goats #medicalquackery #showmanship #snakeoil #medicaloddities #quackery - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B2-UY_MBXdR/?igshid=16s2a3362i46i
