Via Po

(Turin's Magick)

"Where we have gone / You know you never can go"
(Genesis 4, 1)

Scusa, preferirei leggere il testo in Italiano text.

One of Turin's metropolitan legends is connected to Via Po (Po Street).

It is said that the peculiar inclination of this street isn't fortuitous. The Savoia family (more than a little interested in the occultism) would have traced this street to follow an energetic line, maybe the one starting from the pyramids of Giza.
