UK Lottery Prize Notification
Well, OK, this is not such an abject spam as that, but I thought I'd help skydancerlilitu promote her special-purpose jewelry sale.
Yah, I know it's a stretch to relate this post to magick, so I am creating a servitor to supply me with rationalizations. -

Well (and merry) met!
skydancerlilitu and I just got back from lunch with lucifera_shadow and her Mom and Luke, who were passing through on the way to visit family.
