How did I miss this in 2019 and what's the current thinking on this interesting collection of objects?

Daley, Jason. “A Sorceress’ Kit Was Discovered in the Ashes of #Pompeii.” Smithsonian Magazine, 2019. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/sorceresss-kit-was-discovered-ashes-pompeii-180972907/.

Warning: "see also" video at bottom of Smithsonian page doesn't address this find, but includes images of human remains and a plaster cast of a dog that clearly died in pain during the Vesuvius eruption.

Gold Fluted Bowl found at Olympia, Greece with text. Thanks to Angela O'Brien @GrecianGirly for the lead.

The text is actually Alphabetic Akkadian and not Greek. I date it to 500 BCE. It describes the two power classes of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm (life class and the magical motion class). It mentions the connective motion hermaphrodite deity Thu (Athu, Athena) along with the magical emotion owls (Athenian owls). Olympia is just north of Athens. The text also mentions the life manifestation god of Yahu (Yahweh). It translates as:

1. Life-Threads are due to ritual-roast-offerings. Emotional-energy is activating the life-manifestations. Those are being activated by considerations (focused emotions).

2. Nourish Thu's goodness.
Give tribute to the seers. Emotion-owls are energizing Yahu's fertility-fluids

#Introduction

Hadean Press is an #OccultPublisher that some people love, and some people love to hate. I, Erzebet (@erze), the owner of Hadean, will be managing this account.

I have been utterly rubbish at using any form of social media since the days of LiveJournal, but after seeing how Mastodon and the fediverse works, I now wonder if the old adage “it isn’t me, it’s you” might hold true with regards to my relationship with the big social media platforms. Whatever else happens, I am not going to corporatise this experience.
