The Tolomato Cemetery in the Ancient City is home to Bishop Augustin Verot , 1805-1876 who in real life was embodied the theme of the Six of Pentacles (The non stop giver ) The Bishop was a truly selfless and a giver, and helped many. Also you will see the tombstone of Jimmy who fell out of the Tree, but NOT like the Hanged Man card.

You could draw wisdom from the Chariot Card and sense how people traveled through the gates in 1808, many entering the city, would be wishing they would be leaving their troubles behind them. Elizabeth was the inquisitive daughter of the gate keeper.

The Love tree is all about connection. Find out if this unique tree Is like the 2 of cups or more similar to the The Lovers card.
