survivalist symbolism related to that thing in the desert

[aethyrflux]

obviously, burning effigies are found in ancient ceremonies around the world... many, that still survive to this day:

in japan, in britain, in mexico, in pakistan, in spain, in san franciso, in india, in ohio,& in ecuador, for instance

...pass the chalice, 'pon the left hand side...

circa 1989, i had a Wiccan-initiated girlfriend who introduced me to my first Wiccan texts: The Spiral Dance, Drawing Down the Moon, and the Farrar's Eight Sabbats for Witches & The Witches Way.
(although i had been reading Crowley's Magick in Theory & Practice, The Book of Lies, and The Book of Thoth for a couple of years beforehand)

I wuv you 'nuggle buggy!

Snuggle Buggy, you're the one!
You make bedtime so much fun!
Snuggle Buggy, I'm awfully in love with you!

i was thinking about the idiom:
"snug as a bug in a rug"

and i found this similar expression:
"snug as pigs in pease-straw"
