Greetings Spooky Lovelies!
We assume you received your personal dinner invitation for tonight's reading? Maybe you missed it. It was written in the red veins of the Sorrel lettuce on The Hospitality Tray last week. Oh well. You're here now, so please take your favorite seat as your scrumptious host, Ms. Miranda fills you in on all of the sly and easy methods of Food Divination! Apples. Onions, eggs, cheese, and bones will all be served up and at your service to find out everything you need to know. Bon(e) Appetit!

Greetings, My Dear... Lone... Guest, I thought I'd have you in for tea on this beautiful, early fall evening... to discuss... MURDER. But, not just any murder... a slow, plotting, gentle murder... at least at first. The clueless victim didn't even realize he was being murdered, so that's better, right? We think so. Please, make yourself comfortable alone here with me and... enjoy your treats and tea. And everything... will be just fine... eventually. Love, Miranda
ps. wear gloves if you have them... for... reasons. Thank you for visiting and... I'm sorry

My very dear guest, we have a rather unique and meaningful story as tonight's offering here in The Reading Room. It will undoubtedly pique your morbid interest, as the subject is "The Victorian Obsession with Shrunken Heads" But more than this, I believe it will touch, or even awaken, something with in you that will cause you to think differently about this dire subject- and the two groups of people and the victims of the process whom the story is about. It's my honor to share their story with you. Please make yourself at home to listen. Sincerely, Miranda Merrick

Do we "not" have a surprise for YOU, Dear Guests! Tonight your bewitching host has for you- the amazing story of Romulus, Remus, & Lupercalia, the ancient feast day, and in-the-buff frenzied frolic that brought romance and fertility to lovers for perhaps thousands of years... and we're totally "not" reviving the wild tradition...nor will we tell you exactly where and when ...and what to wear to the celebration, so "don't" listen closely (wink, wink)

All Aboard Dear Guests! Tonight, we are off on a dire and dreary seafaring adventure! First, there will be rumors of sightings of the Famous Ghost Ship, The Flying Dutchman. This ethereal ship has emerged out of the mists to strike fear and bestow doom upon its many beholders... and we are so here for it! Then, we will witness the building, sinking, and astonishing raising of Sweden's colossal warship, Vasa... including her dead, that you can visit today. Please join us!

Step right this way, Spooky Lovelies! Have we got just the thing for YOU! No matter what ails you, we have... something ...that will make you feel... differently than you do currently... perhaps... forever! Tonight, your Divine Host, Miranda Merrick, will tell you all about those shifty, snake-boiling sellers from days of yore! Where did they come from? Exactly what were they really selling? And is there any left on the shelves at Grimm's Grocer's? You bet there is! (No returns, of course) Please take your spot in The Reading Room. It's about to get strange.

Greetings My Dear Guest! Maybe you recall ...in our previous reading on Sacred Tattoos, I lamented the fact that there were just too many wonderful tattoo tales to choose from-- and the story of the first tattooed circus performers is one of them! So please join me now to hear about these daring and "colorful" characters! Now, won't you take a seat beside me? Natasha will be along shortly with our tea. Just relax and maybe don't make too much eye contact with her... She's a ... nervous sort of... girl... you know... Welcome to The Midnight Library!

Welcome, Lovely Guest! We hope you're in the mood for romance because tonight's reading is all about ancient and sometimes forbidden love spells and potions!

Then let's see if we can make the magic happen! We promise not to kiss and tell...

Greetings, Dear Guest! You are in for such a colorful treat this evening, as your host, the other Divine Ms. M., tells you all about the little-known art of Hand-Painted Human Skulls!

Right this way, Dear Guest! What if we told you that tonight, we're going to be doing a little spelunking or cave-dwelling? And not just so we can pet the bats, but because it is the birthplace of a very famous WITCH: Mother Shipton, "The Yorkshire Prophetess." Ms. Merrick will take you from her humble cave birth, through her eerily dramatic predictions, and finally the close of her life... and, she'll tell you how she lives on in a place that thousands of people visit each year. You'll love the haunting story of Mother Shipton!

Greetings, Dear Guest! In tonight's dire reading, we will reminisce about the many splendid ways people used to kick the bucket... or uh... pass away. There was once so much unpredictable variety! Folks used to be forced to meet their maker by fickle fairies, chancy chickens, and even wily wallpaper! Please curl up in your favorite spot and join us as we visit yesteryear and fondly recall many of the Bygone Ways to Bite the Dust!-- Oh! And we have a famous surprise guest to greet you! (A live one) See if you recognize him!
