luna65 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I feel a distant chill, a touch of rain clouds on the horizon drear and gray the wind is telling me Fall is near. Leaves begin to rattle and the birds seem mournful the wind is telling me Summer cannot linger forever. But for one brief respite of magic the wind carries a distant calliope its’ brass-tuned promise of delight proclaiming the Carnival has arrived the night so dark but the lights at the edge of town burn so bright. We lose ourselves in play and in wonder at everything in our sight everyone is a child again, running down the Midway everyone is alive again, even as the season is dying. And so when I feel the biting wind I strain to hear that melody, burbling and dazzling sweetness and mystery and fascination come, Carnival, come and entertain us before the frost and the darkness enfolds us. A fragrance like a haunting melody, far-off music carried by the wind, imbuing your mood with mystery and hazy memories...foggy rain accord blended with resinous aspects of sandalwood and myrrh, silky-smooth dry vanilla, cocoa powder and powdered sugar, and just a wisp of sweet orange blossom honey. SANDALWOOD ~ Love, exotic, sensual atmospheric; aphrodisiac. Healing, spirituality, exorcism. MYRRH ~ Stimulating, soothing. Powerful guard against evil. HONEY ~ Enticing, seductive; use to bewitch a straying or hesitant lover. Happiness, fulfillment. POWDERED SUGAR ~ Attracts love, luck, sweetness and riches. Lust inducing, wishes granted. COCOA POWDER ~ Lightens emotions, evokes feelings of love.
