“Similar to savin is the herb known as “selago.” Care is taken to gather it without the use of iron, the right hand being passed for the purpose through the left sleeve of the tunic, as though the gatherer were in the act of committing a theft. The clothing(…)
Court Cards
Even someone who has read tarot as long as I have gets hung up on some stuff. I’m not afraid to admit that at the last psychic fair I read at, I drew a complete blank and had to give the young lady her money back. (It was even more awkward because I then gave […]
