Interesting stuff. But also, golem? Serious business. The idea of it as a souvenir tschotke is a bit disconcerting.

But then I am of the school of "I don't care if we're all supposed to know it's not real, here's a list of stuff you don't mess around with."

Is there a secret handshake for this? Because dude. There are things I will not touch with a ten meter cattle prod for this very same reason.

I want in on the secret handshake, yes. I was just reading some poems by Marge Piercy about visiting Prague, which made reading this article that much more creepy.

On that level, golem toys don't bother me at all. I'd suspected that I'm in a middle ground about the amount of weird stuff I believe in with rather few other people, and this is evidence.
