#you think choco drank is swiss? no. it is Latin.

[bonesandpoemsandflowers]

sometimes the extent to which culture does not spread really just does kick you in the teeth. reading a blog post by someone who works in the Nordic pantheon faith and magic wise. I click on it because it's about the use of cacao in the shamanic experience. "I'd never heard of cacao before," this person writes, and I want to go sit down somewhere dark and quiet. HOW HAVE YOU BEEN ALIVE ON THIS EARTH AND NOT HEARD OF CACAO. okay, so maybe you've never heard of the spiritual uses of chocolate drank, MAYBE, but like. YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF CACAO? what? how?? HOWWWWW.
