hell yes ⇣ Dear Wormwood 👹

I haven't read The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, but I love that the Oh Hellos Dear Wormwood album is inspired by it. The song "Dear Wormwood" in particular is amazing.


Screwtape is a senior demon writing letters from Hell to his Earthbound demon nephew Wormwood. Screwtape's letters to his nephew aim to help him coax a particular human into wicked and sinful ways.

Wormwood and Screwtape

I'm writing about patterns again. Writing but in a kind of turpentine spill. Reads like a pseudo-somethingist's scrawl. Blather. Like the 'mad' Dog Catcher in FNQ, whose intriguing books (scientific observations and sketches?) he begged Vaddi to look at. The 'spill' is a place. A place for inspiration. I can't articulate the concepts that sometimes ghost their way into me. Yet I don't want to miss them, lose them, search again for them. They just river from other places, through me, and if I can place something of them into my own work then they can keep moving. I don't really work enough though - or rather, I'm not finishing much at the moment. Just scribbling trunks and murmuring harmonies.


Vaddi never looked at the Dog Catcher's books. The dogs chased the Dog Catcher.

Unus Mundus has been weaving a web for me over the last two or so months. When I wrench my head out of the clouds then I might play with this web. Or just look at it. Or keep playing D chords and drawing little dudes. Like this guy.
