Of Charms and Spells - Spellbox

It could for sinister intentions or it could be to heal. Spell and charms have been regularly used without many of us knowing. The sudden sickness, the unexplained changed of mind or the unexpected change of interest of your lover towards you could be the result of this practise. Well, since this world had been such an unfair place, I think many of you reading this would probably sprout a relief and asks, 'Really, where can I get/acquire/learn some of this stuff'.  Well I shall pretend that most of us just want to know more so as to be able to find the same unworldly powers to be able to fend, protect of just to Get What we Want!!

Hidden amongst the quaint shops in Royal Arcade off Bourke Street there you will find this place:-


Once you step inside..


Not believing that it is a mere coincidene, I find it mystical that it is located in the exact heart center of Melbourne City. Already it is strange that there is such a place dwelling in ancient practise to be found in the modern and thriving part of the city.



Anyway, here's some examples of what you can get. mystical objects or 'Magic Tools' each with their own applications and effects when placed and used accordingly.


Spells, with instructions provided:-


More spells..


I know of a few mates who may get some help with this. PKJ, AC, JP you want? Heh.


Potions:



Tools for the more experienced with blood expected to be drawn..



Or if you are not sure what you need, the Wheel of Stars is there to help.


For those who are serious about taking up Witchery as a career, 'The Broom' is also avaliable to complete the picture. For examples of how 'The Broom' can be utilised, please watch Harry Porter, any of the enactments will do. Heh.


In keeping up with trend of advancements of civilisation, the ancient practises can also be found through the circuits of the world wide web. Just key in the following words carefully in the space just below the lid of your screen: http://www.spellbox.com.au/. Please do not hold me responsible if something out of the ordinary happens to you after that. *sinister laugh*

*casting spell* while signing off. Heheh..

By the way, the above photos are taken with the Samsung EX1. Excellent in low light situations with its bright F1.8.

Firefly: Splendid Views of KL

After numerous messing-up of timing with taking the bus, I decided to give Firefly a try for the regular trips I have to make to KL. Small are the turboprop ATRs, with two columns of two seater rows, they seat about 40 pax max. The hotness of the stewardess's are nothing to shout about but the service is good with a juice and muffin served. They ply between the Changi Budget terminal and Subang Skypark Terminal which is a  boon for me in terms of time saved and distance to and fro TTDI as compared to treacherously far-away long journey KLIA or the even worse LCCT.

Check out the views from the plane as the ATR approaches KL. These were taken at about 10am. The usually towering Petronas Twin Towers looks like a kids miniature building play-set here.


And here is the view of Mont Kiara and Seri Hartamas. A beer on me if you can spot Soho KL at MK Solaris. Heh.

So looks like its Firelfy for my KL-SG trips from now on. The view when descending into Singapore is very pretty too. Watch this space for those pics.
