tutatur et Fascinus, imperatorum quoque, non solum infantium, custos

Rabbit, rabbit!

In anticipation of the new year, [livejournal.com profile] ladymondegreen sent us a care package, containing among other treasures two pieces of petrified wood, a wooden puzzle of a winged sphinx, and a bronze fascinus amulet.

That's right. We now own a small copper-wire winged phallus with little clawed feet and a handwritten tag reading, "I am here to ejaculate in the eye of your enemies. Hi!" It's sitting in the liquor cabinet between the sphinx and the catwings. I am thinking we should hang it over the doorway or the bed of our new apartment when we have one. Like all the best of its kind, it has a vivid personality while remaining recognizably a penis. With wings.

It's pretty great.

Perhaps the petrified wood is just dryad coproliths?
