Thomm Quackenbush
“The cold reader exploits that the human mind is a whiz at making senses of information, shaping faces out of leaves, finding religious icons on pieces of toast, and letting us believe general sentences and uncertain questions add up to prophesy.”
― Thomm Quackenbush, Pagan Standard Times: Essays on the Craft
