I often wonder why people in the past seemed to always have a compass handy. Sure, I always carry a photographic scale and measuring tape, but I record stuff. I can't make up my mind whether this is "just #graffiti" or whether the top one might be #apotropaic. #compassmark #DuiskeAbbey

It is said that the rowan tree can provide protection against malevolent beings. Hang a sprig above your door and you’re set.
It’s possible we all need to get one. Just saying.

Honiton, Devon
Two thatched grade II* cottages C17 or earlier. Old thatch c. 4' thick. Replacement thatch roof set on old walls with new ridge to allow original timbers to be left in situ. Cat skeleton found, probably apotropaic.

A 'pss, pss, pss,' with emphatic,
finger-down, flinging of the hands
usually does the trick. Disbands
the offenders. Sure, dramatic,
but sound. Everyone understands.Painting SOLD at https://xxyxxy.com

Okay, so there's a joke in the community about having "Talismans" on your bike, and I want to turn into the skid and take it a little more literally. I already have a Nazar on my saddlebag, but I'd love to inscribe some wards/glyphs/sigils/runes as I build it up, and I'm looking for ideas.
I'm building the wheels, and wheelbuilders already frequently hang a loop around the hub, so that could be an interesting place to hang something.
Etching protective glyphs along the fender is kind of what got me down this rabbithole.
I know rotating circles are supposed to be powerful, so inscribing something along the rims might be interesting.
I'm open to ideas from any culture or tradition, but would prefer to avoid christian/angelic iconography. Just not my speed.
This bike is moving in a bit of a goblincore direction, and I'd like to lean into that.
I'm open to trading mechanic expertise for favors, or skillsharing!

"Charmless": repost of some short #FlashFiction I wrote in 2016 about a response to an #apotropaic image. Is it as charmless as it's made out to be?
