Hermes Astrolologie Scarf, The Pippins And Jackie O



This scarf was originally designed by Francoise Faconnet for Hermes in 1963 and has made various appearances through the years in different colours ever since. I was drawn to it because I wanted something to act as a cloth to cast my Astrodice on. I wasn't really thinking of wearing it, because to me I could see it acting in a more useful capacity as a magickal appliance.

However I was interested in the scarf's history and found that the legendary Jackie Kennedy - later Jackie Onassis - or 'Jackie O' as the papers used to call her - had one too, at one time or another.

The two Pippins just could not resist the pretty scarf either - they wanted to pose in it and I just had to let them!
