#Notebook Chronicle Go-To w/ Mohawk paper, dotted & Col-o-ring swatch booklet #FountainPen Sailor hocoro - gray, F #30inks30days Diamine Jacaranda Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: ‘Scottish lore has it that Kate McNiven’s community of Monzie in Scotland first sought her out for her wisdom, maybe for her herb cures and curse-ending charms. Then, in the era of witch burnings, her community pulled her from her service and burned her to death. After killing her, Kate McNiven’s community made her a local legend. Today we might assess Kate McNiven as a real witch based on the power of the curse she left behind — a curse which the generations passed down and which now comes to us across the Internet; a curse which leaves us the tale of a talisman known as the Inchbrakie Moonstone. Though there are no official records, the curse is said to begin in 1615* when Kate was accused of witchcraft. Having been found guilty, word spread of her immediate execution by fire. A landowner of a nearby estate, having come upon the fire preparations, asked the gathered crowd to stop their execution plan. While he had no success, he did win favor from the named witch. As the fires around her grew, Kate McNiven began her curse. The landowner of execution site was cursed, then the area known as Monzie was cursed, and finally she honored the unsuccessful estate owner who attempted to stop her execution.’ —The Headsman, Executed Today (online), Nov 1, 2008. Below the text is a card with a central lozenge surrounded by rays, inside the lozenge are a sailboat, a magical squiggle, and 3 phases of the moon; a gray dip pen; a swatch of brilliant purple-blue ink; and a small square bottle of same.
