### Margin

Submission: February 15th, 2021

Status: Accepted

#### Contents

A submission directly to Rorrim Sacellum. There are no images, only the following description:

> "My head is not a quiet place because I spend so much time there. So I looked at things that were sure to draw me out. The two situations most likely to pull me from my mind and into my body are those of awe and those of care. Therefore, the tag lock is a braided string of white and blue thread and a strip of bark. There are loops at each end, tied with knots. One knot secures the lock of hair. Blue was chosen as a further tie to myself."

>

> "The box is a small, white box the size of my palm that used to hold a necklace. Under the lid and inside I drew images that remind me of myself: rabbits and birds and mountain laurel."
>
>

> "The box is sealed with more blue and white string."
>
>

> "It looks plain on the outside. I like that."

The important items pictured in the photographs are: A black box, a yellow ribbon and a purple candle.

The ribbon is placed in the box, and then sealed with the wax, decorated with a blue feather.

Seemingly, it is a shrine set up of some kind.

The third photo has a notable distortion to it.

> "I chose to use a small knife that I have had for years as my tag lock. I then used that knife to cut a few strands of my hair and place them inside a sheet of paper. I tied the two together with green string and placed them inside a small bag. I completed the rest of the process, giving it a name, placing it in its container, and hiding it away. Below are a few pictures as proof.
