Forget Burning Man. Burn Zozobra.

Santa Fe, New Mexico has been burning Zozobra, or Old Man Gloom, each Labour Day Weekend for 99 slutty slutty years. As a countdown to 100 years of setting Zozobra on fire, they’ve been celebrating a different decade the past several years, this year being the 2010s, with a Voldemort-esque marionette.

And what a marionette, standing at just over 50 feet, or 15 metres tall, he’s of the tallest in the world. His head, glowing eyes and mouth move as he waves his hands at those who have come to see him burn.

Zozobra brings and feeds on gloom and despair throughout the year, until the Fire Spirit comes and destroys him for the year.

The marionette is made of wood, paper, and cotton, and also things like mortgages, divorce papers, and things people don’t want to carry into the next year. There are places around town you can put letters and papers to be burned inside Old Man Gloom.

For such a large being, it only takes about five minutes for him to burn completely, growling and screaming before he collapses. A celebration of fireworks, dancing, and music follow, the gloom defeated for another year, restoring hope and good will to the city of Santa Fe.

Let’s get this out of the way first: The last time I posted this, a bunch of people called it modern, i.e., fake (it is not). It seems there are many who can’t wrap their head around the idea that not all rock imagery is representational to real-world experience. The Ancient Ones had as much (if not more) creativity and imagination as modern humans. They had intricate belief systems, unique ways of looking at the natural and spiritual world, and most of all, they didn’t always draw what they saw. When looking at rock imagery, we must try to separate our own way of thinking from that of a person from over 1,000 years ago. They just saw things differently. This could be a bear. This could be a creature from the artist’s cultural cosmology. It could be something made up on the spot. We will never know for sure. But I can assure you, this image is from the Mogollon culture, dating somewhere around 200-1450 CE.

The glyph itself is one of my absolute favorites of all the rock imagery I’ve seen over the years. The imposing, toothy head is the first thing that stands out, but then you start to notice the more subtle details of this design. The two “legs” have quartered circles for feet surrounded by dots. These “legs” look lighter, possibly added at a later date. The “crown” could be ears or horns. There’s what looks like a small tail and more dots running along the back. I can’t even begin to theorize what’s happening with the small front “arms” and the other design inside the body. I love the shape of the eye.

Interpretations are fun to make, as long as we understand that it’s all a guess, and the only one who truly knows what this image means is the person who created it. They would probably say it’s a T-Rex. 😂
