Barbelith

Barbelith is the red light seen by Black Tom O’Bedlam and Jack Frost as they smoke mold in the Grant Morrison comic book series “The Invisibles“. It recurs throughout the story as a supernatural moon seeming both intelligent and benign. It plays the deity to Jack Frost’s messiah (whom it forces to feel the pain of all humanity until he agrees to help make a better world and fulfill his destiny) and takes on the mission of sustaining humanity (much like a placenta does for an infant) until the time for them evolve past 3-D space arrives.
