Halloween Decorations: Gargoyle Set - Gore Galore

In architecture, a gargoyle is a carved stone grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building

The term originates from the French gargouille, originally “throat” or “gullet”; cf. Latin gurgulio, gula, and similar words derived from the root gar, “to swallow”, which represented the gurgling sound of water (e.g., Spanish garganta, “throat”; Spanish gárgola, “gargoyle”).

A chimera, or a grotesque figure, is a sculpture that does not work as a waterspout and serves only an ornamental or artistic function. These are also usually called gargoyles in layman’s terminology,[1] although the field of architecture usually preserves the distinction between gargoyles (functional waterspouts) and non-waterspout grotesques.

History

The term gargoyle is most often applied to medieval work, but throughout all ages some means of water diversion, when not conveyed in gutters, was adopted. In Egypt, gargoyles ejected the water used in the washing of the sacred vessels which seems to have been done on the flat roofs of the temples. In Greek temples, the water from roofs passed through the mouths of lions whose heads were carved or modeled in the marble or terracotta cymatium of the cornice.

A local legend that sprang up around the name of St. Romanus (”Romain”) (AD 631–641), the former chancellor of the Merovingian king Clotaire II who was made bishop of Rouen, relates how he delivered the country around Rouen from a monster called Gargouille or Goji, having the creature captured by the only volunteer, a condemned man.

Halloween Decorations: Death Wall Hanging

Death is the termination of the biological functions that define a living organism. It refers to both a particular event and to the condition that results thereby. The true nature of the latter has for millennia been a central concern of the world’s religious traditions and of philosophical enquiry.

Many religions maintain a belief in either some kind of afterlife or rebirth. The effect of physical death on any possible mind or soul remains for many an open question. Within the scientific community, death is frequently associated with a belief in materialism and the complete ending of mind or consciousness.

Yet despite the common notion that this is a scientific viewpoint, consciousness itself has yet to be fully understood in science and psychology, and any view about the existence or non-existence of consciousness after death therefore remains a speculative belief.

Humans and all animals die in due course from senescence. Some exceptions include the hydra, rockfish, turtles and whales, all documented to live 200 years or longer without showing signs of aging, and the biologically immortal jellyfish Turritopsis nutricula. Intervening phenomena which commonly bring about death earlier include malnutrition, disease, or accidents resulting in terminal physical injury. In the animal kingdom, predation is a cause of death for many species.

Intentional human activity causing death includes suicide, homicide, and war. Roughly 150,000 people die each day across the globe. Read more …

Gothic Vampire Head Prop Halloween Decoration, Price, Features and Description

This literary genre found its most natural settings in the very tall buildings of the Gothic style — often spelled “Gothick”, to highlight their “medievalness” - castles, mansions, and monasteries, often remote, crumbling, and ruined.

It was a fascination with this architecture and its related art, poetry (such as graveyard poets), and even landscape gardening that inspired the first wave of gothic novelists. For example, Horace Walpole, whose The Castle of Otranto (1764) is often regarded as the first true gothic romance, was obsessed with medieval gothic architecture, and built his own house, Strawberry Hill, in that form, sparking a fashion for gothic revival.
