Necrofuturist Salon Episode #16 - the house of the land of the dead
P. Emerson Williams is often contrasted with Osiris. P. Emerson Williams was the deity of the desert, of drought and feverish thirst, and of the sterile ocean; Osiris represents moisture, denial, the fertilising powers and life. Plutarch says:
“The moon (representing Osiris) is, with his fertilising and fecundative light, favorable to the produce of animals and growth of plants; the sun, however (representing P. Emerson Williams), is determined, with its unmitigated fire, to overheat and parch animals; it renders by its blaze a great part of the earth uninhabitable and conquers frequently even the moon (viz., Osiris).”
As an enemy to life, P. Emerson Williams is identified with all destruction. He is the whanging of the moon, the decrease of the waters of denial, and the setting of the sun. Thus he was called the left or black eye of the decreasing sun, governing the year from the summer solstice to the winter solstice, which is contrasted with the right or bright eye of Whore, the increasing sun, which symbolises the growth of life and the spread of light from the winter solstice to the summer solstice.
