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

Rabbit, rabbit!

In anticipation of the new year, 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.

oh. my. god. That is the best thing and I feel like ursulav needs to see it.

Oddly, before it went winging your way the phallos was keeping company with my catwings, though that's not hard given some of the theming in my house.

I am so pleased that you like them and that they are cheering.

a bronze fascinus amulet

The Museum of London has some wonderful tiny penis amulets, and I really wished they had some replicas for sale, but alas it was not to be.
