   My brother, upon hearing our wind chimes stirred by the first winds of the Thundersnow, asked me what the original purpose of wind chimes were.

   “To keep off evil faeries,” I responded.

   I wasn’t quite sure if this was right, so I quickly looked up the origin of wind chimes on Wikipedia. I was led to this sentence, a description of wind chimes in ancient Rome:

   Bells were believed to keep off evil spirits and so they were often combined with the phallus, which was also a symbol of good fortune and a charm against evil. The image shows one example with a main phallus portrayed with wings, and the feet and tail of an animal, perhaps a lion. These added to its protective powers.

   GUYS WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT

   WHAT

   

   So the next time you hear wind chimes, just remember that it’s your personal collection of severed erect penises looking out for you.

   

   oh… oh dear.

Cordell, 21. Adelaide, SA.

Oddities, propaganda, tallships, helicopters, typography, foxes, rainy days,
science fiction, mythology, sacrilege, social liberalism.

These are the things I like. Look on my tag cloud and despair.

Girls with their clothes off,
paintings of men on horses.

I enjoy listening to music.

Let's be friends.
