Another example of man living intune with Giaia, in peaceful harmony with nature, and worshoping the Mother goddess. A time when no person harmed another.

Thought it was “bottoms up.”

All of the people used for this purpose were either named Williams or Sonoma.

The Irish invented “crying in your beer” this way the tear duct conduits of the skull cup can do that for you.
Bought “School's Out” when it first came out on vinyl—lotta memories,some sober some not of old AC.
The freaky old fart has still got it.

I remember reading a memoir by someone —a Greco-american -—whose mother had died in WW2 in Greece. When he was a small boy the villagers made him drink wine or something from her skull.
Odd, though; 14,000 years ago? That was during the Ice Age.
It was possibly a funeral ritual, not cannibalism.

But only after using the freshly severed heads to play a couple of rounds of an early form of rugby.

Sucking marrow from the Jaw bone a funeral ritual? Sounds like dinner.

Another example of man living in tune with Gaia, in peaceful harmony with nature, and worshipping the Mother goddess. A time when no person harmed another. And then those evil Christians came along and ruined Paradise.

Anyone who believes that man is more violent today than in the past has not studied history.

Are skulls dishwasher-safe? Can you use them in the microwave?
