The Anointed Ones

And so, on this Friday the thirteenth of July, in the year of our Lord, two-thousand and seven, E. Acadia and Matilda Emmanuel presided over the mummification and ceremonial burial of two of natures greatest creatures. (Eamon and Freya assisted.)

Late into the night, the two grand priestesses gathered their materials: strips of white linen, holy oils of pink and orange, and the sacred sarcophagus, built for two and lined with royal blue velvet.


The dead were gently wrapped in linen shrouds,


before being anointed with the holy oils,


and laid to rest on a bed of velvet.


Freya's darling, as it turned out, wasn't quite dead yet.


The priestesses and their apprentices took a moment to bid a final farewell to the departed.


The sarcophagus was sealed and the scriptures cast upon it in many hues.


A lack of flashlight batteries necessitated a delay, and an early morning burial.


A grave was dug,


the casket placed gently within,


and the Great Mother Earth took once more unto her bosom those most holy of beings:
Two Plastic Barbie Dolls.


The priestesses then determined that they had neither the time, nor the materials required to build a pyramid, but were comforted to remember that the ancient tombs of the pharaohs had taken many years to complete. The Plastic Barbie Dolls of Death will have their monument, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and then until the end of time.
