Are you a demon worshipper? The rather arbitrary list of occult paraphernalia according to the now defunct DemonBusters website. Bold the items you own. Commentary is neat.
1. Occult games (I Ching, ouija boards, tarot cards, crystal ball, fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons) - A deck of tarot cards somewhere that I haven't touched in years.
2. Ashes from fire pits, including fireplaces and wood stoves - Ashes from my incense burner.
3. Robes and detachable hoods
4. Gongs, drums and bells - Um, how about a tin whistle and an ocarina?
5. Wooden stand for an altar, a marble slab or crosses - It's a nice little chest of drawers that doubles as altar and altar storage.
6. Chalice, goblet, cruet - My favorite is my Halloween green M&M goblet.
7. Phallus (sculpture of the male sex organ)
8. Heavy wooden staff, sword, knives - teeny, little knife (actually a letter opener)
9. Small velvet pillow, scarlet in color - Huh?
10. Bullwhip, cat o'nine tails, ligatures - Oh, sure. I stash them between my rack and Iron Maiden. Sheesh!
11. Mirror
12. Animal mask, possibly papier mache
13. Black satin or velvet glove for the right hand
14. Large ruby ring, worn on the first finger of the right hand
15. Flash powder, smoke bombs
16. Incense
17. Body paint, face paint
18. Metal crown with four candle holders
19. Ferns, palms - Does a dying philodendron count?
20. Human or animal bones (especially skull, long bones, finger bones)
21. Coffin - ROTFLMAO!
22. Ritual books, black books, diaries (such as the Book of Shadows, which may be handwritten)
23. Medallions with satanic symbols (such as pentagrams, peace symbol, yin/yang, etc.) - Wow. Peace signs are just so satanic.
24. Occult jewelry
25. Small animals in cages
26. Graph paper for fantasy games - Another does it count question - I use it for cross-stitch patterns and house designs.
27. Oddly shaped dice
28. Horror masks and costumes
29. Crystals
30. Small metal figurines of mythological nature - I guess this is where my altar decorations and my little Statue of Liberty candle holder come into play.
31. Posters of mythological beings, animals, half-animals
32. Nightmarish posters
33. Sexual, particularly sado-masochistic, posters
34. Posters of heavy metal and punk rock stars
35. Paraphernalia related to the martial arts
Hmm. I guess I'm just your garden-variety Pagan, then. Oh, pooh! I had so hoped to qualify as a demon worshipper. *rolls eyes*
