@caitlinrgreen so i guess you are still working but by any chance have you seen finally the Vikings season ?? :)
@Umarkarim89 I have just got a subscription that includes it, so it's next on my list to watch--just finishing Jessica Jones first! :-)

@Umarkarim89 Ah, not familiar with it, I fear!

@caitlinrgreen these are truly stunning. Just been writing about sacred children, Nativity, Mystery Cults, pedocracy. These fit so well
@caitlinrgreen Wish the museum would sell replicas of this!
