South African Artist SAREJESS and The Sands of Time
South African Artist SAREJESS and The Sands of Time
The great South African artist SAREJESS was dreaming.
He was dreaming he was walking along a very sandy beach.
On the beach was a huge hourglass.
The hourglass looked to be ancient.
The sands had run out.
The upper glass bulb of the hourglass was empty.
While the lower bulb beneath the hourglass’ narrow neck was full of sand.
A huge wave suddenly came in towards the shore and surrounded the hourglass.
Mermaids leapt forth from the waves.
They turned the hourglass over.
So once again the sands of time were flowing through the hourglass.
The waves retreated and the alluringly beautiful mermaids went with them.
And the hourglass was once again on the sandy beach.
For the beach was now completely dry again despite having been hit by the waves carrying the magical mermaids.
And sand flowed down from the upper glass tube (that moments before had been the lower glass tube) through the hourglass’ narrow neck into the new lower glass tube (that prior to the sudden advent of wave and mermaid had been the upper glass tube).
A voice spoke to SAREJESS from beyond the ocean, “Behold the sands of time are flowing once more.”
Then SAREJESS woke up.
He ran to his studio.
This scene he felt compelled to paint. 🎨

Jack O’ Hare Meets An Asian Irish Leprechaun: A Poem
Everyone’s favourite bunny Jack O’ Hare was out hopping in the early morning dawn
when he spotted that rare beautiful sight- an Asian Irish leprechaun
Is there a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow? Jack asked
recalling his many experiences with leprechauns in the past
Not a pot of gold but a pot of jade said she
which I’ll give you if you come sit upon my knee
Jack did so and felt content
as she rubbed his bunny ears so bent
Would you like a carrot? she asked
as she put down a carrot and a brandy flask
Yes, said Jack, as he took a nibble and a nip
having carrot and brandy together was quite the trip
Well, now, she sat back and smoked her leprechaun pipe, how about a kiss?
Certainly, said Jack, this was a request he didn’t want to miss
for Jack had finally found the land of everlasting bliss.

The Vampiress Siren: A Poem
I sailed the straits on my ship of old
carrying aboard the king’s own gold
it was there I saw her on the rock amidst the waves
she who had sent many sailors to their graves
Come and taste my lips of cherry she said
licking her lips that had recently bled
I jumped into the sea and swam to the rock
thinking we’d only sit and talk
instead she grabbed me and bit my neck
I turned and saw my ship was a wreck
Said I, there goes my ship
what a way to end a trip
she then sucked my blood and I was dead
because to this vampiress siren- I lost my head.

Mermaid Miranda’s Revelation Part 2
“The reason,” Miranda the mermaid looked at Nathan the Controller of the Golem, “that the mermaid goddess Atargatis wants to destroy Israel is because of her daughter Semiramis. Semiramis has formed an alliance with the ancient Babylonian vampiress Lilith who, of course, has always wanted to destroy Israel and the Jews because she claims that the Babylonian Talmud maligned and libeled her good name.”
“Yes, Lilith once poisoned my Scotch whisky with polonium-210 while I was sitting in a London pub,” Nathan recalled, “it was Set Enterprises’ resident mad scientist Dr. Cadbury Rocher who saved my life with an antidote to polonium-210 that he invented.”
“I heard about that, Nathan,” Miranda looked at him sympathetically.
“But what caused Semiramis to form an alliance with Lilith?” Nathan asked.
“Her first husband Nimrod returned to Earth a few years ago aboard a UFO with a bunch of ET grays,” Miranda explained, “and the ship crashed near Tuktoyaktuk, Canada north of the Arctic Circle. Nimrod’s body was recovered and taken to a secret lab near Washington DC. Lilith stole Nimrod’s body and brought him back to life. Only the magic kiss Lilith used to bring Nimrod back to life went awry and the princely ruler of ancient Babel was turned into a little green frog. He now hangs out between the breasts of Lilith in her low-cut evening dresses.”
“Sounds like Nimrod has become every teen-aged boy’s fantasy come true,” Nathan thought aloud to himself.
“Is it every human teen boy’s fantasy to be like Kermit the Frog?” Miranda looked quizzically at Nathan.
“Um… no,” Nathan shook his head. “so I take it that Semiramis has formed an alliance with Lilith since Nimrod has become (ahem!) so close to Lilith.”
“That is correct,” Miranda nodded.
“And Atargatis in turn has naturally joined in alliance with her daughter Semiramis who’s aligned with Lilith,” Nathan was beginning to see the light.
The morning sun peered through the aquarium lab’s windows.
Meanwhile in Saudi Arabia, U.S. President Donald Trump had arrived with First Lady Melania Trump.
Donald: I didn’t see any mermaids down in the desert sands of Saudi Arabia.
Melania: That’s probably because they’re swimming in the ocean.
Over in London, vampire hunter and MI-6 operative Dracul Van Helsing had received a phone call from Peter Whitstable the Fox Mulder of Interpol.
“Dracul,” Whitstable began, “I’ve been doing some research on the famous 17th Century Jesuit scholar Father Athanasius Kircher. He apparently had in his possession some ancient Greek mechanism that was the equivalent of our analogue computers.It also served as an orrery to predict astronomical positions and eclipses. But according to the diary entry of Father Kircher’s I’ve come across, the mechanism could also be used to locate mermaids. Sadly the mechanism disappeared on the night of Father Kircher’s death.”
“You know what, Peter,” Dracul leafed through the pages of his ancestor Captain Dante Van Helsing’s journal, “I have an idea where that mechanism is now.”
“Where?” Whitstable asked.
“It’s now called the Antikythera Mechanism and it’s to be found in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece.” Van Helsing answered.

Mermaid Miranda’s Revelation
The mermaid who called herself Miranda had once again awakened in the salt water tank in the Israeli government aquatics laboratory in Tel Aviv.
The Controller of the Golem (a Mossad agent who went by that code name) came down to see her.
“Nice to see you awake, Miranda,” the Controller brought her roses wondering if a mermaid would like them.
She did.
She smelled them and smiled.
“Thank you, Nathan,” she said once again calling him by his first name known to few outside Mossad or the Israeli Prime Minister’s office.
“You’re welcome,” Nathan smiled at her.
Then she turned serious, “I landed on the beach at Tel Aviv to warn you and your people.”
“Warn us about what?” Nathan asked.
“The goddess Atargatis ancestress of all mermaids wants to destroy your nation,” Miranda looked grim.
Nathan knew his classical Near Eastern mythology.
Atargatis was a northern Syria goddess.
She was called Derketo by the Greeks and Dea Syriae by the Romans.
The goddess Atargatis fell in love with a mortal (a shepherd) and had a child by him- Semiramis.
One cruel day, Atargatis unintentionally killed her love and the father of her child.
Ashamed, she flung herself into a lake near Ashkelon and was turned into the form of a fish but the waters could not conceal her divine beauty.Thereafter she took the form of a mermaid- human above the waist, fish below.
Atargatis’ daughter Semiramis became a legendary Assyrian queen and was said to have been married to the biblical Nimrod (founder of Babel) and later Ninus (founder of the city of Nineveh).
A 19th Century Free Church of Scotland minister Alexander Hislop had several wet dreams about Semiramis inspiring him to label the Roman Catholic Church the Whore of Babylon and to write a book about the subject called The Two Babylons.
Nathan’s thoughts of his Ph.D Program in Classical Mythology at Cambridge University returned to the present.
“Why,” Nathan asked Miranda, “does the mermaid goddess Atargatis want to destroy Israel?”.
. . .
U.S. President Donald Trump was flying en route to Saudi Arabia when he was handed an NSA report that certain mermaids were plotting to destroy Israel.
Trump was angry when he read the report.
“How,” Trump blew both his top and his toupee, “am I supposed to tweet about this? Especially after I just called former FBI director James Comey a real nut job? And especially in lieu of the fact that polls indicate that some Americans think I’m off my rocker myself?”.
. . .
Dracul Van Helsing was reading the journal of one of his 17th Century ancestors Captain Dante Van Helsing.
The journal had been found floating in a wooden chest on the Aegian Sea after his ancestor’s ship The Virgil went down on his final voyage.
The last entry said that Dante had been turned on by the sight of sirens singing on a rock.
When he neared the rock, a mermaid who called herself Thessalonike of Macedon appeared.
Dracul knew that according to history, Thessalonike of Macedon was the half-sister of Alexander the Great.
According to legend, Alexander had found the Fountain of Immortality and had filled a flask of water from it.
He washed his sister’s hair with the flask.
When Alexander died, his grief-stricken sister threw herself into the sea.
Instead of drowning, she became an immortal mermaid.
When she encountered sailors, she always asked them the same question, “Is Alexander the king alive?”.
The correct answer in her opinion would be, “He lives and reigns and conquers the world.”
If given this answer, she would allow the crew and their ship to sail safely away in calm seas.
Any other answer would send her into a rage and she’d cause the waves to send the ship and every sailor on board to the bottom.
The journal entry ended with Dante saying that Thessalonike had just appeared.
Obviously Dante’s answer of Thessalonike’s question was not to her liking.

Captain Dante Van Helsing and Qonzilqointec
The date was May 17th 1687.
And the notorious pirate Captain Dante Van Helsing (an ancestor of Canadian vampire hunter Dracul Van Helsing) was far from his home town of Amsterdam.
He was sailing the Caribbean which was his favourite sea for piracy.
Captain Dante Van Helsing had formed an alliance with the Aztec vampire princess Qonzilqointec.
She was anxious to see Spanish ships raided and sunk as vengeance for the Spanish conquering her Aztec Empire in Mexico.
Captain Dante Van Helsing did these raids on Spanish ships gladly.
And Qonzilqointec would pay Dante back in her bedroom at night.
But then another pirate came into the Caribbean.
A pirate who sailed a Chinese junk ship and called himself Wo Fat.
But despite dressing and looking the part of a Chinese pirate, the individual was really an Englishman and a defrocked Jesuit priest named Alfred Loisy George Tyrrell.
He was defrocked for claiming that Antipope John XXIII (who was himself the notorious pirate Baldassarre Cossa in his early life) who reigned from 1410 to 1415 was in fact a true Pope.
Wo Fat (as he now called himself) after being kicked out of the Jesuit order stole an ancient Greek analogue computer and orrery that was in the possession of one of his Jesuit confreres Father Athanasius Kircher.
He stole the mechanism from Father Kircher’s room on the evening of the latter’s death on November 28th 1680.
Wo Fat used the device to navigate and determine the position of the ships that he raided.
Qonzilqointec spotted the device while flying around as a vampire bat on his ship one night.
She alerted Captain Dante Van Helsing to the existence of the device..
Van Helsing said, “I must have it.”
So Qonzilqointec flew on to Wo Fat’s ship The Albatross and promptly changed from a bat into her alluring vampiric female form.
She brought several good bottles of coconut rum lifted to her from a row boat rowed by Dante.
She went into Wo Fat’s cabin,
After plying him with several goblets of coconut rum and rubbing his bald head against her magnificent bosom
…. Wo Fat fell asleep.
Whereupon Qonzilqointec stole the device.
She then gave it to Captain Dante Van Helsing on the night of May 17th 1687.
Van Helsing returned home to Amsterdam where he was forced by his parents to marry a good Dutch girl.
“No more running around with these exotic foreign women,” his father had said to him.
So Dante Van Helsing married, settled down, became a maker of Dutch wooden shoes and had four children.
Finally bored to tears, he decided to make one more voyage.
This time to the Aegean Sea.
While there, he encountered a group of alluring looking sirens on a rock near the Greek island of Antikythera.
His ship The Virgil sank.
And went down to the bottom of the sea alongside an earlier Roman era shipwreck.
The Virgil was torn apart by mermaids.
Only Dante’s mysterious mechanism (that Qonzilqointec had pirated away from the pseudo-Chinese pirate Wo Fat) was left behind.
The mechanism was recovered on May 17th 1902.

Avalon Rising: A Poem
And so from Xanadu the mighty Kublai Khan might decree
but did he ever make out with the goddess Aphrodite?
Dracul Van Helsing thought while returning from Athens
and attending service of Glastonbury Abbey matins
among those ancient ruins
far from desert sand dunes.
The Welsh Vampiress Morgana visited Dracul
a break from campaigning against a werewolf fool
in the constituency of Newbridge in Wales
principality ruled by Charles Prince of Tails
Now this vampiress was a niece of Morgan Le Fay
for this vamp had been around since medieval day
and she told Dracul that he was descended from both Morgan Le Fay and King Arthur
making Dracul a king and not just a knight with a knighthood to be called “Sir”
For her aunt the sorceress Morgana and Arthur had another child besides Mordred
the one who at the battle of Camlann both he and Arthur mortally bled
this child was a girl sent to Ireland for safekeeping
as Camelot was overrun by blood and weeping
And Dracul was descended from this princess royal
who was born Morgan and Arthur’s child on Avalon soil
And so after hearing this from Morgana, he wandered far from Glastonbury Tor
this vampiric news that had him hit the ceiling and not the royal floor
he wandered across plains and through trees seeing a doe and her fawn
then he looked and saw the mists of Avalon rising through the dawn
He had once pulled a sword out of a stone in Cornwall many years ago
and now it looked like prophecy would unfold- Avalon’s rising- ’tis so.

French Presidential Election: A Defeat For The Kraken
The Kraken who called himself Napoleon VI was in a total state of shock.
In his mortal human life the Kraken had been Italian mad scientist Dr. Poseidon Prometheus.
Dying of a fatal disease, Dr. Poseidon Prometheus had uploaded his consciousness into the body of a cyborg octopus (part robot and part octopus) with metallic hooked tentacled arms.
He had later met and fell in love with the ex-gorgon Medusa (Medusa had been cured of her Gorgoness and her snaky hairstyle (that turned people to stone) by British mad scientist Dr. Cadbury Rocher.
Back on December 2nd 2015 on a whim, Napoleon VI had himself and Medusa crowned Emperor and Empress of France respectively at Notre Dame Cathedral. The coronation had received the papal blessing of Pope Francis. (Please read https://draculvanhelsing.wordpress.com/2015/12/02/the-crunch-kraken-of-notre-dame/ )
But despite that, the Imperial coronation had not been recognized by the French government, the French National Assembly, the French judiciary or even the French people.
To rectify that situation, this year the Kraken Napoleon VI decided to run for President of France.
Once elected President of France, he’d then call a referendum to have himself proclaimed Emperor of the French.
Back in January, he had even started his own political party for this purpose the Aquarian Age Bonapartist Party.
He had received the Aquarian Age Bonapartist Party nomination for President unanimously (since he and Medusa were the only members of the Aquarian Age Bonapartist Party).
But to paraphrase Robbie Burns, “the best laid plans of mice and Kraken, they often go astray”.
Because in yesterday’s first round Presidential election in France, he had come in in 12th and last place.
Napoleon VI blamed the media for his defeat.
They only talked about the 11 candidates running for President during the election.
Forgetting that there was a 12th candidate- himself the Kraken Napoleon VI- the Aquarian Age Bonapartist candidate.
Centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron and far-rightist candidate Marine Le Pen would both advance to the next and final round of the French Presidential election.
Now in each of the Kraken’s eight tentacled arms, he held a bottle of Napoleon Brandy.
He finished off each bottle.
Medusa who was trying on new dresses that she had bought herself today (to console her grief) looked over at her husband.
He was going to one Hell of a hangover, she thought to herself.

The Cat Who Ate Wolves For Breakfast (Plus Lunch and Supper)
The Russian Spetsnaz special forces who had parachuted into Kiev last Thursday under the command of the ancient Babylonian vampiress Lilith were werewolves.
They were a special type of werewolf.
Each soldier was a bodark werewolf.
A bodark is a person who wants to become a werewolf in Russia (as opposed to a a wawkalak who was just turned into a werewolf through the evil actions of the Devil).
To become a bodark, a person would run into a forest and stab a copper knife into a tree (while such an action might be pleasing to manufacturers of copper knives as well as those with huge investments in the copper industry, the undertaking doesn’t go over so well with Greenpeace and tree huggers everywhere).
While still holding on to the knife in the innocently stabbed tree, the would-be bodark is required to repeat this chant:
“On the sea, on the ocean, on the island, on Bujan,
On the empty pasture gleams the moon, on an ashstock lying
In a green wood, in a gloomy vale.
Toward the stock wandereth a shaggy wolf.
Horned cattle seeking for his sharp white fangs;
But the wolf enters not the forest,
But the wolf dives not into the shadowy vale,
Moon, moon, gold-horned moon,
Cheek the flight of bullets, blunt the hunters’ knives,
Break the shepherds’ cudgels,
Cast wild fear upon all cattle,
On men, on all creeping things,
That they may not catch the grey wolf,
That they may not rend his warm skin
My word is binding, more binding than sleep,
More binding than the promise of a hero!”
Once the tree has been stabbed and the incantation chanted (with Taylor Swift singing “Boys only want love if it’s torture” in the background), the person runs off into a forest and changes into a werewolf as he does so.
Once these Russian Spetsnaz special forces soldiers had become full-fledged grey wolf bodark werewolves, Vladimir Putin put these men under the command of the ancient Babylonian vampiress Lilith in a secret treaty he signed with her shortly after his 2014 annexation of Crimea.
Lilith’s Bodark Grey Wolf Squadron did not turn into werewolves during a full moon.
Instead they turned into werewolves after listening to an old Gramophone recording of Josef Stalin singing the Soviet National Anthem in concert with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (under a never revealed protocol of the Tehran Conference that was held from November 28th to December 1st 1943, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir were secretly flown to Moscow on December 26th 1943 (thereby missing out on Utah Boxing Day sales) to make the recording in musical choral accompaniment with Josef Stalin.
As Lilith played the recording turning the Russian Spetsnaz special forces commandos into grey wolf bodark werewolves, another grey wolf was walking the streets of Kiev.
The grey wolf was none other than the ancient Germanic god Wotan’s mortal son Adolf Hitler.
He had been granted permission to leave the Underworld by Hades and Persephone after Thor paid a visit on Odin/Wotan’s behalf requesting that they do so.
The grey wolf formerly known as Adolf stopped in its tracks when it heard the voice of Josef Stalin singing the Soviet National Anthem.
The grey wolf formerly known as Adolf visualized the Hungarian actor Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula saying, “Listen to him, the constipated dictator of the night. What a racket he makes.”
When the Gramophone finished playing and the commandos became grey wolf bodark werewolves, they were immediately attacked and eaten by a giant black cat.
The name of the giant black cat was Amorous Laetitia (whose name had inspired the title of a recent papal document although the first name was spelled differently in the Apostolic Exhortation).
Amorous Laetitia was the name of the personal pet cat and familiar of Hecate the Greek goddess of witchcraft.
Hecate had recently been beheaded by Pan Goatee’s astrally projected laser machete while she was in her crone form.
The head had been taken to a New York City cryogenics lab but the lab had been broken into by Loki and Fenrir and Fenrir had eaten the head.
Since then, Amorous Laetitia had torn apart every wolf she had come across in hopes she’d find her mistress’ head.
When she didn’t find it, she just ate the rest of the disemboweled wolf,
After seeing the black cat Amorous Laetitia eat the Spetsnaz bodarks, the grey wolf formerly known as Adolf ran down an alley and entered a building for safety.
The building turned out to be Brodsky Synagogue which was Kiev’s largest.
The grey wolf formerly known as Adolf could not help but think that the gods of the universe were playing some sort of cosmic joke on him.
