I'd love to hear more of the ceremonial uses
ceremonial? what do you mean?..
I'd be more than happy to write a post about it in Russia, about its historical aspects! but, 31 May? I could no way do it in a few days left :( pretty sadly! and i've got a lot of vintage stuff/foto to share, right on this subject.
I hope so!!! Amazing!!! Historical aspects sounds cool. Learning somuch already!
