Shiny new postcards to aid with choosing an afternoon’s plans. I shall make some of these available as prizes at next year’s Ineffable Con, and perhaps I’ll find a reason to give some away before then?

Pretend you don’t hear Crowley in the background…

It took some searching, but I finally unearthed the trade tokens from my old shop on the bridge. Rather the worse for wear, but still legible!

The lack of small denomination coins at that time made everyday purchases difficult. Traders took it upon themselves to issue farthing (a quarter of a penny) and half-penny tokens to fill the gap.

Shops could give these tokens as change, and would accept other traders’ tokens. Thus, for example, Mister Finch of ‘The Dog’s Head’ might come to me with twenty-four of my half-penny tokens, and redeem them for a shilling.

The practice survived for some several decades until, in 1672, a proclamation was issued by Charles II that copper farthings and halfpence stamped at the Mint would be the only permitted coinage, and the issuing of private tokens largely ceased.

You might be interested to know that the discussion of minting /legal/ small coinage was discussed by the Commonwealth Government — as beneficial to the poor — as early as 1651. Despite this, nothing was done about it. For almost thirty years.

Isn’t history interesting?

Both my small and big Stede dolls are back in store! You can find them in my Etsy store or you can get them via commission on my ko-fi!

I am currently unemployed as the marketing agency I worked at was swallowed by a big corp. As writing AIs get bigger and more popular, my job as a copywriter is under threat. I am also not able to work full time at this point due to my chronic illness - so I am trying to make some extra cash by selling the stuff I make. Thank you for supporting me - even sharing this post means a lot <3

‘There are two angels that hold the world between them. They stand at the beginning and the end of all things. One sets the stars into the heavens as candles to light our way, and the other blows the horn that heralds Judgement. They are called Wisdom and Love. By God’s grace, may all things begin in the light of understanding and end in the arms of love.’

1 Then was Jeſus led aſide of the Spirit into the wilderneſs, to be tempted of the deuil.

2 And when he had faſted forty days, and forty nights, he was afterward hvngry.

3 Then came to him the tempter, and ſaid, If thou be the Son of God, command that theſe ſtones be made bread.

4 But he anſwering, ſaid, It is written, Man shall not live by bread only, but by euery word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

5 And the deuil ſaid, That is Alle Very Well, but the bread helps.

6 Then the deuil took him up into the holy city, and ſet him on a pinnacle of the Temple.

7 And ſaid vnto him, If thou be the Son of God, caſt thyſelf down, for it is written, that he will give his Angels charge over thee, and with their hands they ſhall lift thee up, leſt at any time thou ſhouldeſt daſh thy foot againſt a ſtone.

8 And in ſpeaking theſe wordes did the deuil raiſe his voice, as if calling vnto another, though none was there preſent.

9 Jeſus ſaid unto him, It is written again, Thou ſhalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

10 Then ſaid the deuil, I do not knowe who is doing the writing, but verily they are ſtarting to get vpon mine wicke.

11 Again the deuil took him up into an exceeding high mountain, and ſhewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,

12 Saying, theſe are the Iſlands of the Tideleſs Sea. Not a Roman to be found for ten thouſand mīl.

13 And, Juſt ſay the Worde, and thou couldſt be there, no qveſtions aſked.

14 Then ſaid Jeſus unto him, Avoid Satan: for it is written, Thou ſhalt worſhip the Lord thy God, and him only ſhalt thou ſerve.

15 Then the deuil left him: and behold, the Angels came, and miniſtered vnto him.
