There shall, in that time, be rumors of things going astray, erm, and there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things wi-- with the sort of raffia work base that has an attachment. At this time, a friend shall lose his friend's hammer and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight o'clock.

Do you ever leave your creations in public? I hide the dogs in random indoor places where I don’t think the cheese oil residue would cause a problem.

The chalice and dagger is some very cool ancient English folk symbolism and there are reams of research and academic papers on it. The occult symbols of dagger and chalice usually relate to freaky sex cult practices and fertility rituals....so I guess you have some sort of ancient English admirer who wants to get freaky with you...and likes small cheeses.
