I was telling my wife about this discussion, and she got interested enough to look up images of onibaba and show them to me. They were all a sort of feminine version of an oni but all were carrying a debuhocho. Terrifying images! :)

A real good reason to bite the ol’ tongue at times!

I could just see the support group practicing their “bite the tongue” silence! Not a sound except for swirling brains swirling.
