Might Someone Post The Old FT 'Devil With Santa Mask' Pic?

[Kellydandodi]

There was an issue from the late nineties/early 21st century containing an article on the occult/mythic origins of Santa Claus/Father Christmas. There was a picture of a cloven-hooved, Satyr-like devil in Santa's cloak and peeking from behind the santa mask. I would much appreciate it if anyone could post this picture on the forum. Thanks.

Devil as Santa

Erm... you mean Alex Howe's copyrighted photo?

Or Julia Christie's copyrighted illo?

Is this by chance the image you're referring to? ...

I can see that as a tattoo! (not one I would have but it would translate well).

Thankyou. I have no intention of copying this image, simply to show a family member...

NOTE: The masked Devil-as-Santa image cited above appeared in the January 2000 issue of Fortean Times. It accompanied Phyllis Siefker's article The Last Wild Man:

What else do you keep down there? Mad wives, wreckage from Roswell, Bigfoot?
