elynne (the only person named I recognize), via mrteufel, who got it from drhoz: the rather arbitrary list of occult paraphernalia according to the now defunct DemonBusters website. Bold the items you own.
1. Occult games (I Ching, ouija boards, tarot cards, crystal ball, fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons) -- well, duh. Though I still threaten to burn ouija boards.
2. Ashes from fire pits, including fireplaces and wood stoves -- we've got to warm this old barn in the winter somehow...
3. Robes and detachable hoods -- the only robe we have, I believe, is Nick's "King In Yellow" outfit, but that qualifies right there, full stop.
4. Gongs, drums and bells -- my mom collected bells, and I have several of my own.
5. Wooden stand for an altar, a marble slab or crosses -- if only I had a marble pastry slab...
6. Chalice, goblet, cruet -- glazed, unglazed, glass, and metal. Take your pick.
7. Phallus (sculpture of the male sex organ) -- though I'm not sure whether Satan would consider silicone to be disrespectful...
8. Heavy wooden staff, sword, knives -- yes, no, and yes. Nick collects knives.
9. Small velvet pillow, scarlet in color -- wha?
10. Bullwhip, cat o'nine tails, ligatures -- I never did get a flogger, but I know who I can borrow them from.
11. Mirror -- um, yeah.
12. Animal mask, possibly papier mache -- the best I have is a paper butterfly mask.
13. Black satin or velvet glove for the right hand As opposed to a white velvet glove with sequins for the left hand... then you're just a Michael Jackson worshipper. -Elynne
14. Large ruby ring, worn on the first finger of the right hand -- nope, never got a high school class ring.
15. Flash powder, smoke bombs -- again, I know who to borrow from...
16. Incense -- I don't burn it much these days, but I have it.
17. Body paint, face paint -- we used to LARP.
18. Metal crown with four candle holders -- I wonder how my mom would feel about such uses for the Advent wreath frame?
19. Ferns, palms -- both.
20. Human or animal bones (especially skull, long bones, finger bones) -- I think I still have the skunk and possum bones we excavated when we cleaned out the cellar. Not to mention all the pet graves out back.
21. Coffin -- good heavens, where would we put it?
22. Ritual books, black books, diaries (such as the Book of Shadows, which may be handwritten) -- my compilation of origami folds is a black book... and I have a few journals and diaries sitting around.
23. Medallions with satanic symbols (such as pentagrams, peace symbol, yin/yang, etc.) -- I have several, but no satanic peace symbols.
24. Occult jewelry -- doesn't the previous item qualify?
25. Small animals in cages -- not since the last of the rats died last fall.
26. Graph paper for fantasy games -- because I'd never use it for, you know, graphing lines and such. Or playing Life by hand (that's gotta be satanic).
27. Oddly shaped dice -- give it a rest, guys.
28. Horror masks and costumes
29. Crystals -- I even have a couple used in rituals to capture spirits!!
30. Small metal figurines of mythological nature -- does a figurine of Doctor Bashir count?
31. Posters of mythological beings, animals, half-animals -- do I get extra points if I made them myself?
32. Nightmarish posters -- I took down my poster of a Nightmare, but I do have Morpheus next to my bed. And a poster of the Master.
33. Sexual, particularly sado-masochistic, posters -- depends on how scantily-clad the anime characters need to be...
34. Posters of heavy metal and punk rock stars
35. Paraphernalia related to the martial arts (such as ninja costumes and throwing stars) -- I still have my gi in the closet, and a big ornamental sai on the wall.
23/35 - I've got you beat,elynne!
