Brian, I thought you were leaving? Well, glad you changed your mind. 
Or maybe you said you would not waste any more time trying to 
disprove this? Anyway, where is the reference, what book has this 
reference that Helena used to run an ink and paper store? Was it in 
Russia? Or in Paris? I have not come across that reference. Not 
saying it don't exist though. 

Loyola must have always had a fascination with ink, ink pens, and 
paper as her mother was a famous writer, who published anonymously, 
but was said to be the Russian George Sand. So, she must have come 
into a love of writing early on as her mother died when Helena was 
rather young. And came into a love of books from reading in her 
grandfather's vast library. And her siblings and relatives also said 
that she had such a vivid imagination that she used to tell them wild 
fantasies to the point that they were all terrified as they seemed to 
come to life in the telling. So, you have all the ingredients at a 
young age of a woman destined to have a public life in which she 
would entertain and teach the masses with her abilities using the 
written word. One who was a born actress, writer, and storyteller.

But all this taken together does not make her a forger. Or that she 
forged everything she touched. Besides if she had the ability to be 
taken for a master, then she is for all intents and purposes the 
voice of the master at that time, for that message. However, DK says 
that SOME of the letters were forged.

Leaves us back at square one. We both have Libra moons, I understand 
that she was at heart a peacemaker and a diplomat. She was not a boat 
rocker per se, but things seemed to get shook up wherever she went!
