Wow! You're still getting replies to this! So I thought I may as well add mine. On my blog Wanderin' Weeta I have done a few posts about pareidolia, and posted several interesting photos to demonstrate, ending today with a "Jesus on the cross" on a stone, with a pilgrim on the back of the same stone. Posts here, here and here (the "Jesus stone"). More for your collection!

[...] I was reading the Bad Astronomy blog today and stumbled across this.Â I didn’t know where he was going when he said the first picture looked like Gandalf, then I laughed before I even read the rest of the entry as I scrolled down and saw the second picture.Â If it doesn’t make sense to you because you aren’t a Lord of the Rings fan,Â Gandalf is the good wizard who helps the hero’s on their quest, while Sauron represents all that is evil.

Many people are skeptical of the “spiritual” “solipsistic” aspect of pareidolia. It is because they don’t photography the images themselves. This makes the reality an idea.Part of the greatness of pareidolia is showing how much we haven’t seen, and hopefully doing something about it. These images have been supressed by the Church/State/Military/Industrial/Educational systems to further their own cause and keep us in the dark. See William Blake on everyone being a visionary till the C/S/M/I/E relaces vision with pre- occupied vision (blindness).

I recently took the Hubble image of the Hourglass Nebula (which to me looks like a huge eye) and did a bit of Photoshop maniplation on it to make this striking picture for a CD cover:

Incidentally – thanks for giving me the word “Pareidolia” – I’ve GOT to use that in a title for a piece of music somehow!

Funny, I didn’t realize that Jesus or Mary had ever posed for a drawing or a painting to leave behind a historical record of what they looked like! The pilgrims who journey to see these “faces” must have some ancient relic that heathens like myself are forbidden to see.

I once saw Abe Lincoln’s profile in Mermac Caverns…but the flashlight had to be shined just right. Obviously, one could probably find a face in any natural pattern with the right angle and lighting.

Hey, is that Saruman?
