Esoteric arts: Archaeologists at Pompeii in Italy have found what they believe is a female sorcerer’s box of objects. The magnificent little miniature amulets, gems, and other items were found in the remains of a wooden box at Casa del Giardino, and were most likely used for personal ornamentation or protection from evil forces and bad luck. Among the objects found were crystals, buttons made of bones, phallic amulets, and a glass bead engraved with the head of Dionysus.

but the class protector award is such a beautiful moment of recognition of all that Buffy does to keep people safe. she doesn’t always succeed, some people still die, she makes mistakes, but she never stops trying. and despite all the weird looks and comments over the years, this scene shows her goodness and her fierceness and the lives she ensured is all acknowledged. every good deed she’s done spirals out and she is seen and loved.
