INFO: Plants/Herbs, planets, deities, and spells

Pleione Pavilion which is on the Hiking Trail Map (The Seven Sisters Mother): Pleione is a type of orchid. PLEIONE, a plant with the magic name orchid that can be grown outdoors in mild winter areas. The root is used in magic, better known as "Luckyhand Root" or "Orchid root". (Sorry, can't remember how I made this connection, I searched many sites).
Absinthe, the "person" Bruce met: Absinthe is a type of plant which is used for a type of alcohol, which gives a drug high "effect", better known as "wormwood".
Digitalis: our fortune teller at AGP and better known as "foxglove". (I also think the statue was called Digitalis because that is the "scientific name of the foxglove-Digitalis purpurea)

I'm not sure how this relates to our plot, but here is the info:

So maybe Digitalis was summoned somehow to carry out a wish. Absinthe is the one who can stop a wish, depending on who made the first wish etc. (by the anti-sorcery/uncrossing list). Question

Glad you are back, pretty lady!

Thank you Mage Very Happy

Finally adjusted to my new "life". It's amazing what a week's "vacation" will do for a person.
