Phantasmagoria

It means a barrage of images, whether real or imagined. It is one of the most beautiful, and yet disturbing sounding words on the planet, i think. It just reminds me of a murky swamp filled with unknown treasures and horrors!

    I’ve never heard this word before. I’m glad I stumbled across it though! I’ll have to remember to use it. Though I doubt an opportunity will arise without my influencing it in that direction. But that’s okay!

    I’m also in love with this one! Phantasmagoria comes from the greek phantasma that means ghost! A word for “treasures and horrors” indeed!
    And, Steveo it can be used for a big spectacle so go for it and use it!
