What do we know of man-made artifacts with no religious significance, but made in homage to something that's considered evil?
>Backstory
I've been having crazy dreams for the last year, all of them disturbing and nightmarish, but I have never felt any fear from them. They always include alien invasions/diseases that make alien zombies, some weird experimentations on people, and shadowy figures. These are the general themes. I was recently diagnosed with depression as well (1 month ago).
I then find the pic related bas relief of "Cthulhu in R'lyhleh" (or however it's spelled) on my desk, hidden away for almost 19 months. Now, I know it's a *bit* far-fetched, but I swear this thing is slightly malevolent feely now, and looks a lot sharper than I remember it.
I know Ancient Egyptian "magicians" used various artifacts to trap, and then banish/kill demonic forces by putting them in clay jars and burying them. This wouldn't have any bearing except that in a seperate incident my Dad and I became convinced our house was haunted (kept seeing a shadow of a person or bird move behind corners, whooshes of air behind us) and we had it exorcised.
Let's try and keep rp and any "chi energy is off" type stuff out of here.
Forgot to mention, I made the relief carving one day, was given a random bag of clay from art teacher back in high school.
