It's Friday night, I'm drinking a Manhattan, and reading a Conan comic by the fireplace.

I strongly believe in getting another S&S mag up and running; as this update reports, they hope to go quarterly, and importantly it's a physical mag, to be nicely printed by the sounds of it, not just an online venue. Built to last.

I recommend this, read it last night!. A tale of revenge that makes for good sword & sorcery.

A Mandaic curse bowl in the Royal Ontario Museum. It has a spiraling Mandaic text that leads to an encircled x at the center.

This Super Bowl Sunday, I’d like to introduce you all to the magical curse bowls used in Upper Mesopotamia and Syria in late antiquity. Written in Mandaic (as here) or Syriac Aramaic, they trap demons who trespass on a household by sucking them in with spiraling spells to the center of the bowl.
