A Relic V

The mirror is ready, and I have steeled myself to what must be done.

The correct mixture has been made, and the runes researched.

It awaits anointment...




It has taken well.
I can only hope this will be sufficient...

I shall use my faithful rubber gloves to move the Thing.
Sadly, I cannot cross my fingers in these!


I can feel it. On the shelf above, it waits.

Now I must wait, until the time is right... not long now- if my researches are accurate...

A Relic IV

I have it- I found the perfect mirror in a dark corner of a charity shop.
There it was, just what I was looking for.
Bought, and brought back.

I haven't unwrapped it yet. Not yet.

When I can... I'll put some pictures on.

I have to consult my recipe list now- the framewood needs anointing, and asap!

Bloody devil's juice!!

That's what this is, so beware!!

What, I hear you type? What is?

This! This is it! Be warned:-

 Argh!


Now, to be fair, there is nothing wrong with it, as it is, it is a very good wood dye, I have no problem in it as it is, but-

Unlike the rest of its peers, it misbehaves!
If I pour say, Dark Mahogany wood dye onto a cloth, it comes out, soaks into the cloth and is applied, nicely and without fuss. As do the others that I frequently apply- Light Oak, Antique Pine, Indian Rosewood- just fine and well behaved.
If I use Ebony... it soaks into the cloth, and is applied nicely and without fuss...then soaks through the cloth and down your hand.
It runs down the side of the spout and sits in the lip of the top. getting onto the fingers and all over the place.
In short, it seems to be much thinner than the rest of its kith and kin. It is much trickier to handle.!

It's not the brand- I use a lot of them, and they are all fine- but this one.

It's dark and mischievous.

You have been warned...

Bloody devil's juice.

A relic III

At last! The charms have started arriving. I don't know which ones will be effective.

















I'm going to use them all.

I'm still loathe to move the... thing.

My researches indicate that I will still need a mirror; I don't yet know why.
It must be big enough for the object to sit on, and needs a boundary, like a fence. Copper or Iron are equally valid for this.
The charms can go onto the boundary.
Some sources recommend an Elder Sign - but which one? And how to arrange them?

I shall continue to find out more.
I will not move it yet, not until I have the mirror, at least...

A Relic II...

I can't take the waiting any longer- I can feel it lurking up there...
I've been doing some research, and it seems to be - sleeping.
I don't want to wake it... but I have to move it!
Where are my charms that I ordered from the East??

I'll try my trusty gloves-


So far, so good. I have it uncovered.

 What Is It?
I don't dare move it yet.



I can't move it yet. I need a mirror to begin with...

I'll post more when the packages arrive.

A Relic...

Lurking suspiciously at the rear- no, the front of one of the storeheaps in the Bloodshed*, this thing came to my notice today...

Relic Zero
It looks like it has been there for a long time. It looks like it's been somewhere for a long time...

Relic 1

Yes, that is mould. Nothing else has it...

I'll post more when I discover how to move it safely.

                              I wonder where it's from?

* The Bloodshed is where the wood gives up it's secrets...
