Gakked from
luna_torquill The rather arbitrary list of occult paraphernalia according to the now defunct DemonBusters website. Bold the items you own.
I HAD to do this.
I'm going to have to count some of
cadhla's possessions for this.
- Occult games (I Ching, ouija boards, tarot cards, crystal ball, fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons) -- no, no, yes, maybe?, and Ghods, yes! (D&D, White Wolf, Tekumel, Hol, Primal Order, etc. Including, of course, Deities and Demigods!)
- Ashes from fire pits, including fireplaces and wood stoves -- Ashes from Mt. St. Helens, too.
- Robes and detachable hoods -- With mystic symbols on it too (wish I could find it). And of course, a lab coat.
- Gongs, drums and bells -- Yep.
- Wooden stand for an altar, a marble slab or crosses -- Yep.
- Chalice, goblet, cruet -- LotR Burger King goblets, too.
- Phallus (sculpture of the male sex organ) -- an ice mold, in the freezer.
- Heavy wooden staff, sword, knives -- Got that one covered in spades.
- Small velvet pillow, scarlet in color -- Depends on your definition of "small" but I think we're good here.
- Bullwhip, cat o'nine tails, ligatures -- there's one stashed in the closet somewhere.
- Mirror -- Yeah, got one of those.
- Animal mask, possibly papier mache -- The Easter Bunny head. You may have seen it?
- Black satin or velvet glove for the right hand One for the left had too.
- Large ruby ring, worn on the first finger of the right hand -- This one is a bit of a stretch. You have to be a little elastic on "large" the fact that it's not regularly worn, and that it's not for MY first finger. But we do have one.
- Flash powder, smoke bombs -- Yep. Model rocket kit.
- Incense -- Got this one covered.
- Body paint, face paint -- Yep.
- Ferns, palms -- (checks the yard) Yep.
- Human or animal bones (especially skull, long bones, finger bones) -- Well, it's not real, but I think even though it's plastic, the skull toilet brush makes up for that, doesn't it? (roommate has an animal skull, too, I think).
- Coffin -- (Checking roommate's figurines) Yep. Buffy in the graveyard diorama. Doesn't say full-sized coffin!
- Ritual books, black books, diaries (such as the Book of Shadows, which may be handwritten) -- We're good here; I just found a couple of old notebooks I kept!
- Medallions with satanic symbols (such as pentagrams, peace symbol, yin/yang, etc.) -- Well covered here, esp. with my necklaces.
- Occult jewelry -- See above.
- Small animals in cages -- Stretching again here. cadhla's snakes aren't small.
- Graph paper for fantasy games -- Squares, or hexagons?
- Oddly shaped dice -- Yes, but I need more.
- Horror masks and costumes -- yeah.
- Crystals -- Even a crystal necklace, once upon a time. (Kept the pendant even after the rest of it disintegrated.)
- Small metal figurines of mythological nature -- Dragons, dragons, and more dragons.
- Posters of mythological beings, animals, half-animals -- All over the place. Even the Tick!
- Nightmarish posters -- Sandman posters definitely count. Plus I've got some arty prints and paintings from SF art shows that I'm sure would give nightmares to the creators of this list.
- Sexual, particularly sado-masochistic, posters -- Although I lost out on the auction of the Phil Foglio sketch. That would have been perfect for this! Going to have to fall back on some of the fairy artwork.
- Posters of heavy metal and punk rock stars David Bowie (The Goblin King, from Labyrinth).
- Paraphernalia related to the martial arts (such as ninja costumes and throwing stars) -- Not even counting the swords mentioned above!
- Metal crown with four candle holders -- Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggggg!!!!!!!!! One left, only one left, and there's no way I can squeeze this one out. That does it. I've got a craft project for next weekend now.
Well, 34 out of 35. So close, so close.
Anybody else?
