A plea to the High Priest

[pikesfan]

O wise High Priest GeneralTacticus, I have great need of your assistance. I am pursued by a vexatious spirit. Every time I walk in the marketplace to do my daily business, it asks me, “Do you want to see your old adolescent friends?” I want no truck with evil spirits so I say No! and wave my hands and the spirit goes away, but not for long. It soon comes back and says, “But you can find all your old friends here! Did you graduate in 4005 BC, 4015 BC or 4025 BC?” I don’t know what it’s talking about, so I know it must be an evil spirit that wants to tempt me and confuse me.

I greatly fear that in a moment of weakness I will say Yes and be taken away to I don’t know where. Do you have something I could wear to repel this evil spirit? Or something that would get the spirit to stay away from me?

Hmmm... this is not good. It would seem that evil spirits are, in fact, loose in Iberia. Now, if you wish to be rid of them, you must have a large letter 'T' tatooed in the centre of your forhead, surrounded by a circle, which will then e further surrounded by 3 rings of interlinking circles. You must then wear this quartz amulet on a headband over the top of it, and come to the shrine every day to have us pray for you. If you do this, then on the seventh day, the evil spirits should leave. In the meantime, go about your daily business; the tatoo and amulet should silence the spirits while we drive them out. If they persist afterwards, we shall have to try something else.

the tattoo will persist, I'm sure

I wonder if our high priest is running a racket and fronting for the tattoo industry.
