There is also a stall selling runes and rune jewellry!

Hi Steve, what's a 'hooded entity'? Is it anything like a forest prescence? I once had an overwhelming encounter with one of those. Is the stall going to be the guys from The Sorcerors Apprentice? Is like to pick up some copies of The Lamp of Thoth magazine etc.
