Wednesday turned to Luna, then. "Oh, I didn't see you, young lady," Feeling suddenly Loki-like, he reached into his pocket, pulling out a bright, shiny coin. "You look like a wizard, my dear. Maybe I can offer you this rare and magical coin. I've had it for ages but have never had much use for it."

Slowly making his way to Luna, he offered her the coin. "You have to be careful, though. Are you familiar with Nordic spells? Sidr? Very powerful. Just repeat after me: 'ÉG munu Baulabaul eins og a kýr'and you'll learn the secret of the ages."

Of course, what he didn't tell her is that the secret of the ages was that the world began when Audumla, the cosmic cow, licked God and the giant Ymir from a huge block of salty ice. Therefore, the fact that this spell actually caused a person only to be able to 'moo' was more of a hint than an actual revelation.
