“All along the dusty sidewalks, a mélange of excited citizens maintained the ascending frivolity against a backdrop of vivid colour, exotic spices and smoky charcoal pits. Lofty stings of bells and whistles pierced the hubbub of the dense crowds that oozed down the streets of New Orleans.
The Mardi Gras was rife with life and soul, green and silver streaks of hard currency laced the undercurrents that attracted the underworlds most hard bitten confidence men and pseudo witch doctors, who fed upon the frenzy of high spirits and the optimistic reveler, like feral sharks feeding upon the ocean bed” ****
A coveted cache of arcane wisdom from the darker side of New Orleans, a tainted collection of clandestine conjurations unearthed from private files and an underground collection of high ritual for the cerebral alchemist and errant voodoo priest.
Select rituals, best experienced over a jar of rum, past the darkest hour as we draw to the dawn ****
