a witch’s palm.

palmistry placements that may indicate certain natural traits or abilities related to witchcraft.

the mystic cross. “x” shaped cross located between the head and heart lines. indicates that spirituality, witch’s intuition, and acknowledgement of power or ability were understood at a very young age.

the psychic cross. “x” shaped cross located beneath:

the index finger: blessings from jupiter/zeus. wisdom, and a great capacity for knowledge. often destined to teach or impart. 

the middle finger: blessings from saturn/cronus. intuition, and a great capacity for visceral power. often has natural ability working in dreams and meditations.

the ring finger: blessings from sun/apollo. attraction, and a great ability to naturally draw in your needs and desires. often powerful with enchantments. 

the little finger: blessings from mercury/hermes. instinct, and a great natural ability for practice. often adopts new methods with ease and natural talent.

the psychic triangle. triangular shape located beneath the ring finger. indicates that in this life, or another, you have chosen to suppress your abilities. they are likely powerful, but potentially caused harm- intentionally, or not. (this does not mean they are unreachable, it more likely encourages you to work very consciously.)

the healer’s mark. a series of parallel lines located beneath the little finger. indicates powerful healing abilities; the more lines, the greater the gift. 

the traveller’s mark. a series of parallel lines located beneath the mount of the moon. indicates that there is an innate talent and drive in travelling both the physical and the astral planes. a natural ability for astral projection; the more lines, the greater the gift.

Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka is a 1961 fairy tale fantasy Soviet film directed by Alexander Rou. It is based on Nikolai Gogol’s collection of short stories of the same name (specifically based on the short story The Night Before Christmas). In a small Ukrainian village, a young blacksmith, Vakula, is in love with the village beauty, Oksana. Oksana is a capricious girl who states that she will only marry Vakula if he brings her the slippers that Empress Catherine the Great wears. At the same the Devil aims to get back at Vakula for painting an embarassing picture of him. The Devil steals the moon, in the hopes of creating chaos and visiting Vakula’s witch mother. Vakula, however, tricks the Devil into taking him to Saint-Petersburg. [watch]

“I can fix her” but this is her:

This book in Hannibal’s kitchen is Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child, Louisette Bertholle and Simone Beck, volume 1.

Mastering the Art of French Cooking is the result of a collaboration among Julia Child , Simone  Beck, Louisette Bertholle, illustrator Sidonie Coryn, and Paul Cushing Child (Child’s husband), and was the impetus for Child’s long and successful career as a pioneering television chef. 

Julia Child’s goal was to adapt classic French cuisine for mainstream Americans. The collaboration of this cookbook proved groundbreaking and has since become a standard guide for the culinary community. Mastering Volume 1 was originally published in 1961 after some early difficulties. Volume 1 was a broad survey of French flavors and techniques, and grew out of the work the three women had done for their Paris cooking school, “L'École des trois gourmandes”. Mastering Volume 2, released in 1970, again a collaboration between Julia Child and Simone Beck but not Louisette Bertholle with whom the professional relationship had ended, expanded on certain topics of interest that had not been covered as completely as the three had planned to in the first volume (particularly baking and charcuterie). 

Taken together, the two volumes are considered one of the most influential works in American cookbook history. Julia Child has long been accorded near-universal respect in the cooking world, in part due to the influence of these books.

Sending love and puppies to xshiromorix for identifying the book. :-)
