Although I have practiced Tantric Yoga, I have never held a genuine skull cup ritual object, that would be interesting.I went with skull top cup rather than skull cup because I felt the average reader, with skull cup, would infer the entire skull inverted was being used. Bowl would be more accurate.
I am unfamiliar with "Odyssey 5", I will search it out.

kapala: "cup made of a human skull, frequently offered by worshipers to the fierce Tantric deities of Hindu India and Buddhist Tibet. In Tibet the skull cup is displayed on the Buddhist altar"
I looked it up ("Odyssey 5"), looks interesting but I don't think I have access to it. I like Peter Weller.

Gonna give this part of the piece some thought.
I got access to Odyssey 5 via my local library. It is an on the shelf dvd.
They can get almost anything from any other library in US with a loan request.
