two years pass...
Cornicelli- Little red horns or replicas of animal horns, worn around the neck, held in a pocket or sewn into clothing, that fight off the "evil eye". They may still be purchased in Italian neighborhoods as good luck charms. An Italian "Folk Practice".

I was taught these were a satanic symbol cunningly integrated into mainstream superstitions thereby making the unsuspecting wearers vulnerable to the forces of darkness. Wish someone somewhere along the way had laid off the Mexican eggs at 3 am and spared us a version of spirituality that reads like a bad acid trip.
