Forum Activity for @merry-chase
Dear friends, an honour it will be to serve as best I can in efforts to help Signor Mercury contact this departed person most important, and perhaps as well to help others gain word of their from beyond loved ones.
With regret however they are not good the omens for 18th January. I am consult the spirits to arrange for a date more propitious.
Signor Gandt to you I must ask please that you not reveal nature of specialized equipment to design of Herr Schrpfer which is for to protect medium during trance as much as for summon spirits. Very real and powerful are these spirits so require it special devices in the science of their contact.
Finally I can not give guarantee of contact but will be help if one can provide some object belong to deceased perhaps it can be a letter or portrait.
Your humble servant

You're most welcome!
I was reminded of this resource by a book I'm reading now: The Black Count, about the father of Dumas pere and grandfather of Dumas filles --- a great general, rivaling Napoleon (or, in height as well as glamour and dash, exceeding Napoleon).
It was just a mention, in illustrating the importance of the sugar trade in the 18th century (the general's father took some part in sugar plantation operation but that's a whole 'nother story) the author cites a period apothecary's recipe for a remedy for blindness, which is sugar, pearl, and gold, ground fine and blown into the eye. It seems almost every remedy at the time relied in part on sugar. (Of course in Rocca we prefer the more humanitarian honey.)
