A true story…

Zolan stood on the hillside overlooking the North African desert lands. He clutched his pen and ink talisman, the one I’d given him five months previously. “It’s my fire talisman,” he whispered to himself. “It took me ‘cross many lands, now at long last it will put me together with my one true love…”

It all began when Zolan (not his real name) came to me after his girl left him, disappeared without a word. This was in London. The truth was they were running from a crystal meth bust. But don’t think badly of them. They were good people, had real heart. It’s just circumstance and burning poverty that led them into the world of the street and drugs.

The bottom line is, not many of us are born silver-spooned. We do what we have to do.

Zolan told me his story. How his girl had thin-aired without warning. He desperately wanted her back. He loved her beyond anything.

To be honest, I held out very little hope. But I fixed him up with one of my pen and ink talismans, in conjunction with a Spirit Bottle working. I felt I had to do something, if only to ease Zolan’s despair. I created the talisman with real love – I’d actually known both Zolan and his girl for some time, I’d seen first hand how two good people had fallen into a living hell, and I naturally felt for them both.

Once I’d drawn and charged the talisman, I told Zolan it was his fire talisman. “It holds the fire of love and it will burn until you and your girl are reunited.”

He said he would go to the ends of the earth to find his girl. He did too. That’s how he ended up in North Africa. He’d followed one lead after another and eventually found himself hot on her trail.

The upshot was Zolan found his girl in  a cafe in Algiers. They fell into each other arms in tears, but overjoyed. She’d fled the UK to evade the cops and some very bad people who had said Zolan would “suffer” if she didn’t disappear from Britain. I can’t go into too much detail – for obvious reasons.

Zolan and his girl still have to sort their lives out. But they’re happy and together. They’re in another country now and you somehow know that love will win through and things will sort themselves out.
