    Ok, will do. Where does she live? Or do I need to find my own crotchety old lady to bother with my devil craft?

      I guarantee if you make enough of these for long enough, your own crochety lady will just appear. We have someone who supposedly brings up complaints about “pagan idols” (garden gnomes) at every town meeting, and our town is relatively normal and boring by most standards.

      Absolutely. Bury it next to a stream on a new moon, dig it back up on the full moon, then take it to a spa day with you for a full massage and sauna.

        Lawful evil would be doing this to someone with severe mental health problems, like gang stalking delusions. Leaving biodegradable handmade art somewhere and laughing because a religious zealot is giving themself the vapors is chaotic neutral at worst.

            I hear you, but they’re not synonymous. Plenty of religious zealots are that way because it’s an easy avenue for control over others, and how much they believe of their chosen religion is an open question. If it’s a sliding scale of mental health issues, religious zealots are closer to ‘just get therapy and deal with some shit’ than ‘needs medication to understand that their neighbor, mail carrier, coworker, and that random guy that passed them in the street aren’t colluding to ruin their life.’

              Fair nuance. I wouldn’t diagnose a millionaire megachurch priest who has bought a private jet with the money gained from fooling people with a mental illness, but the people who stand to gain nothing but have reached such a mental stunlock that they actively fight against the evidence that they’re getting abused when it’s presented to them are a different matter.

    I used to pick up 5 sticks of approximately equal length that were sufficiently bendable without breaking.
    They can then be assembled into a nice pentagram after a few tries to stop them from falling apart and left at the side of the road.

    An alternative method is to use those reed-like, long, strong “grass” to make one from a single piece instead of multiple. Those are usually smaller though
