Esoteric arts: Archaeologists at Pompeii in Italy have found what they believe is a female sorcerer’s box of objects. The magnificent little miniature amulets, gems, and other items were found in the remains of a wooden box at Casa del Giardino, and were most likely used for personal ornamentation or protection from evil forces and bad luck. Among the objects found were crystals, buttons made of bones, phallic amulets, and a glass bead engraved with the head of Dionysus.

Letters to E.T. (1982). Every page is pure gold. The most wholesome thing I’ve ever seen. Somewhere in an album there’s a photo of me with E.T. (The whole bike setup) when it first came out (I was two). Must dig it up.

a souvenir of grief and pain is strength and understanding and compassion for others. good things to carry.

also, i keep having to remind myself to have the same grace in myself as i do for others. here is my reminder for the day. be gentle.

Carmilla, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, 1872
