Superstition #5

hairpin  Because of its association with hair, the humble hairpin is not without magical significance.  Finding a hairpin promises making a new friend; losing one is more ominous, suggesting that an enemy is close at hand.  If a hairpin works its way loose in the hair this is taken as an indication that someone has that person in their thoughts-though in Germany this may signify the end of a love affair.

"Live On Coffee & Flowers"

Fire Water, Crystal Tongue

Absinthe an anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs, including the flowers and leaves of the herb Artemisia absinthium, commonly referred to as "grande wormwood," together with green anise and sweet fennel.  Abisnthe traditionally has a natural green colour but can also be colourless.  It is commonly referred to in historical literature as "la fée verte" (the "green fairy" in French).  Absinthe has been portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug.
