Black stars are a recurring theme around here (e.g. "Strange is the night where black stars rise"), so I looked up the lyrics to Bowie's song "Blackstar." One of the annotations on the lyrics site included photos of Crowley and Bowie -- two White men -- dressed up as ancient Egyptians.
Roughly an hour before finding this, I had reposted this meme, in "North Carolina Saves Mummy":
I had written in that post:
The headdress used in the meme to convey the idea of "Pharaohs and such" is in fact mummy imagery, taken from the famous mummy case of Tutankhamun.
This sync made me think of my somewhat precognitive 2014 dream "Moses contemplating a human skull." That post also refers to "the stereotypical Egyptian headdress seen, for example, on King Tut's mummy case"
