Grant Morrison did a completely out of the blue riff on this idea in his
last volume of the The Invisibles - the Black Grail - container of filth and
degredation. Its a pretty cool idea, I'll say that. He tied it to a whole
gnostic metaphor - the Black Grail as our reulsion at the material world,
and all the bad stuff we try to sweep under the carpet.
When did the Naked Goddess ascend? Can't remember off the top of my head,
but if i were placing it, it'd be duirng one of the more conservative eras
of public opinion, perhaps under Regan, - thus, the Black Grail contains
everything you hate about yourself, in this case, the carnality etc. You
could subtly hint at this by slightly distorting what everyone who watches
it sees that which they most dislike about themselves...
Yrs Sincerely

the dream) and joyfully killed the Gods."
