Hoe

A hoe often touches steady, necessary labour — work others depend on, energy turned toward keeping want at bay. The dream may ask where you have no time for idle pleasure because people rely on you, what self-supporting effort is grounding you, and whether the tool in your hands is one of faithful provision or a weapon turned against you.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for hoe, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
