~ The Cloth Marrotte ~
Once upon a time Court Jesters were employed by kings all over the world. Tradition was that he who held the Jester Scepter or Marrotte was to entertain the royal family and their guests in any way possible, such as music, story telling, juggling, riddles and ways we can only imagine. In this way, the Jester distracted those he entertained from the worries and concerns at hand, and became as cherished as any family member. Use your Marrotte to entertain by passing it guest to guest to continue a story. If one cannot continue as story teller he must entertain in another fashion.

May all worries and concerns vanish as you hold your Marrotte or Jester Scepter.
