For me, all the pictures say "Image not found."

Same here.

Same here. Thing must be really cursed if it can somehow censor images of itself. Truly terrifying.

Don’t worry—Sassy feels the same way. Had a MedVet emergency last night. Pretty angry with my partner. She’s improving, though. Poor little girl has been through a lot in the past 24 hours.

What would happen if I combined this with The Eye of Cheops? Would I gain supernatural powers or would I explode?

It would be like having all the five rings.

Five rings? What five rings? Five of the rings made by Sauron?

It must be those ones. The other option is the Five Golden Rings in the Twelve Days of Christmas song, and those are much less threatening (now six geese a-laying, those are scary!).

Not me suddenly digging online for symbolism of the stag...

Is it best to add the headlines to this post or the February one? I’m excited to see the other entries!

Still says "image not found" so this is clearly too cursed for mortal eyes. Guess that means I need to employ maximum effort with my submission to lay eyes upon it.

Check again. Your heart might be too pure to see the occult.

I'm pretty sure I'm a witch, and I can't see the image either. It must be too much for mere mortals to gaze upon. Of course, now that expectations are at fevour pitch, there's bound to be disappointment if the image does appear.

Here's a work-around. Due to the Substack glitch your email likely didn't have the graphics. But if you click the link below it should take you to the site, where the graphics are in place. Fingers crossed.

Thank you, that worked! I wasn't expecting such a statement piece, how magnificent, perfect with a little black dress or black Tshirt. 😁🌟

Depending on your build, it can be worn as a medieval kind of belt.

A multi-purpose prize, and one the entire family can use! 😁

When Harry Potter & Co need a fix, they pawn this stuff. I get it from the broker.

Did the stag just blink, or it is just me?

"But be careful, the dangerous power of the necklace is too much for most mortals to control!" I see, Sir. That's why only Cheap, Crass, Devil-worshipers should be trusted with such a necklace. May I humbly nominate myself to receive the gift!? Giving it to me is only responsible solution to this situation you've created for yourself.

I think you have to wear it to activate the Necronomicon. Could trigger an out break of liches riding on a pack of zombie deer.
