She's not really into Retsina. Incenses elude me, but apple-cinnamon scents seem to please her. All of the vessels she's like have been red-orange, yellow orange, or a pale yellow glass. Candle colors don't seem to matter, but red works as well as anything. Sacred sites are the Gateway Arch and Niagra Falls. Among her symbols are the fractal, as well as choatic systems in general.
