The story behind Judith and Holofernes comes from the deuterocanonical book of Judith. The Bible tells us that the King of Nineveh, Nebuchadnezzar, sent his general, Holofernes, to subdue his enemies, the Jews. The Jews are besieged in Bethulia and rapidly lose all hope of victory. Famine further undermines their courage and they begin considering surrender.

Judith, whose name means “lady Jew” or “Jewish woman”, was a strikingly beautiful widow. She overhears plans for surrender and decides to “deliver the city”. She creeps into the Assyrian camp, seduces Holofernes with her captivating beauty, waits until he is thoroughly drunk, and cuts off his head.

The account of the beheading of Holofernes by Judith is the subject of more than 114 paintings and sculptures.

In European art, Judith is very often accompanied by her maid at her shoulder, which helps to distinguish her from Salome, who also carries her victim’s head on a silver charger (plate).

When the girls where drawn to the circles and penetrated by the tendrils of the far realms the priestess began urging the rest of the disciples assembled to prepare to receive their god. He would tell them to shed their clothes and start building their lust as he would need every last bit to come through to this side. That these brave vessels would give themselves so that it had the power to start the journey but they must all submit to its will for it to erupt into the world and bring about its new order on earth. 

As the girls moaned on the wall everyone fell into a dark and twisted orgy. Any hole that was open would be filled and no fetish would be off limits. Blades came out , whips, cuffs, humiliation, every facet of sexual pleasure was represented here as the girls shrieks began to reach higher and higher levels of intensity until finally all three girls screamed out in unison ALL HAIL THE SWIMMER IN DARKNESS BRINGER OF LUST AND LORD OF ALL just as their bodies bulged and popped…huge masses of tendrils exploded from their bodies first taking hold of the high priestess then working their way through the congregation as they had their orgy….With each new orgasm the circle got bigger and bigger with more of the creature rolling out until an amorphous transparent blob of something rolled out of the portal and enveloped the high priestess at its center. Tentacles filled her every hole but her eyes glowed with an eerie purple light and her voice rang out telepathically across the crowd. 

“Your sacrifice was not in vain…Become part of me and this world shall be ours” 

Every body there screamed out twisting in orgasm just as they burst…every drop of blood was absorbed into the creature immediately slowly clouding its transparent body . It was now ready and nothing could stop it. The world would become a massive orgy for its pleasure.
