This is too funny. Platinum Express out of Austria is offering two free spells (for a small membership fee). 90% of all wizards and witches are wrong and are actually diminishing my magic by their mistakes.



"Old Witchcraft Secrets" will show you in detail, how you can cast powerful spells.

Eh actually, I have it on a good authority that the REAL start of that spell is hubble bubble toil and trouble Kat.
Now if, and this is purely speculation on my part, one required to be unseen then why, if one has a knowledge of the Kraft, would one require a smoke screen!!!? Most folks in the 'know' say like 'Professional Crafters'   would mearly use the spell that begins with....muggles,fumbles, embroils and baffels...ect
As you can see I did subscribe to Sinsull's link and the things I have learned today are frankly mind blowingly wow. So needless to say...I now am in possesion of 'THE Secret'.

Thanks, UncleDaveO. That is a copy of the message I received. Don't know why the clicky won't work. Even stranger the message is gone from my email - not in the current messages or deleted messages.

Must be witchcraft
Wicked witchcraft
Although I know
It's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me...etc.

Looks like Alba needs a Spellcheck for her scared and sacred spell. Is she the "personal" tester? I have visions of Betty Crocker's test kitchen with a number of Stepford Wives arguing over boiling cauldrons. "No! No newts! I added newts earlier! Now we need some bread to soak up the extra or it will be too salty."

Actually, the idea of katlaughing and Alba sharing spells with me is a bit scary. "Abracadabra and you're a frog!" shouted at Gerard Depardieu.
I will go sit in the corner now and write an apology to the French.

Since the night I called Baby Fred and a skunk came running to the door I summon nothing and certainly not demons.

The thought of you three "making spells"( should be weaving spells!) leaves me feeling downright sacred, Mary!!!
On a different note the whole Witches speech (see below) It has been suggested is actually a mnemonic for the REAL ingredients!!of the spell and that old Bill may have in fact known some authentic witches

Round about the couldron go:
In the poisones entrails throw.
Toad,that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Sweated venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first in the charmed pot.
Double,double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blindworm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing.
For charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double,double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and couldron bubble.

Scale of dragon,tooth of wolf,
Witch's mummy, maw and gulf
Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock digg'd in the dark,
Liver of blaspheming Jew;
Gall of goat; andslips of yew
silver'd in the moon's eclipse;
Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips;
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver'd by the drab,-
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
For ingrediants of our cauldron.
Double,double toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.,

That is most definetly the last time I extract a Wolf's tooth in my Kitchen. To say that the Wolf was 'less than cooperative' would be an understatement. I mean I only required ONE tooth and he had plenty other teeth!
So now I am off to apply some wart removal tincture to my..well nose warts of course and then it's back to my bubbling brew.

ROSES BLUE
               © 1968 & 1974 Siquomb Publishing Corp.
               By Joni Mitchell

               I think of tears, I think of rain on shingles;
               I think of rain, I think of roses blue.
               I think of Rose, My heart begins to tremble,
               To see the place she's lately gotten to,
               Gotten to.

               She's gotten to mysterious devotions,
               She's gotten to the zodiac and zen,
               She's gotten into tarot cards and potions,
               She's laying her religion on her friends,
               On her friends.

               Friends who come to ask her for their future,
               Friends who come to find they can't be friends,
               Because of signs and seasons that don't suit her,
               She'll prophesy your death, she won't say when,
               Won't say when.

               When all the black cards come you cannot barter,
               When all your stars are stacked you cannot win,
               She'll shake her head and treat you like a martyr,
               It is her blackest spell she puts you in,
               Puts you in.

               In sorrow she can lure you where she wants you,
               Inside your own self pity there you swim,
               In sinking down to drown her voice still haunts you,
               And only with your laughter can you win,
               Can you win.

               You think of tears, I think of rain on shingles,
               I think of rain, I think of Roses blue,
               I think of Rose, my heart begins to tremble,
               To see the place she's lately gotten to,
               Gotten to.

Eh Alba? How much was that subscription? Alba? Alba?

Have we lost her? Damn! Now one of us will have to subscribe to figure out how to get her back. Is Burt's credit card good outside the Inn? Do you think she is in any danger? Anyone willing to split the cost of a subscription? They do promise two guaranteed spells - you can even choose first.

Micca you seem to know the most about this - if Alba has somehow contaminated her brew with that wart removal tincture, what might she have done? Made herself invisible, maybe? Created a hole righht through the center of the earth? (Not a bad idea if it takes Boston with her). Sorry Alba. That was mean.

SINS, Alba is a damned sight safer in this stuff than you or I, she is probably in a "no signal" zone!!!(even witches are victims of Modern technology) maybe the "Wart removal" stuff now removes a different kind of Wart?
As a general rule Casting spells is to be avoided (and is by all right thinking and ethical witches) as the "Threefold" rule applies( anything you do comes back to you, Threefold) and if you send out nasties, well, it might just boomerang and bite you in the ass!!

Did someone mention 'Ass' mmmm nice *grin*

Well dang that was interesting little field trip. No Dyson for me I'm afraid. I still spend my nights flying around on my 19 year old Rainbow Vac! (talking ass, you would think that Rainbow could have put the carry handle somewhere else huh!).
No prob with the wart tinc though
Warts have gone but have been replaced by hair, which is an improvement ...of sorts.
The one tooth less wolf came back to my door around 10pm with a couple of buddies but what with me being the shy sort I didn't answer the door. They think I give out free dental work now!
Then I was casting all night! (Got a job hiring extras for 'The Witches of Eastwick -return of Jack')

Now Sins don't say I didn't tell you. Hannaford's has a special on Dragon Scale today. Thing is they don't freeze well so you would have to get your Brew brewing asap! The brew would keep till August 11th making your next House Concert...eh...what shall I say... very different from all the other Concerts you have hosted. *wink*

Mary... I'll give you the two starter spells I got from my subscription to the email thing. Free. (Truth is we don't need their stinkin spells)

The first so called "spell" is a tad boring, you know the type. Standard fare for the wanna-be. Turning your enemies into Newts. yawn The good thing about having a load of Newts around the House though is that you can scoop the eyes out of the them and use them in your brew and the extra eyes you have left over do freeze in a zip lock bag (Hannafords rarely have any eye of Newt in stock as well you know))

I am still thinking about the second spell that I was given for my subcription...sounds very dodgy to me and when I have decided what to do with it (use it or lose it if you catch my drift) I will let you know what it involves and you can decide for yourself. You'lle see what I mean when I post again.

Unfortunately Boston is still here. Although the "Big Dig" has taken care of most of it....very little left to do there in the way of making it disappear.....*Big Grin*

Micca you are a wise man indeed. How true is the truth. It is indeed best not to throw/cast nasty stuff in any direction for any reason what so ever as it WILL find it's way back to those that would cast the 'original' nasty over and over and over again. Increasing in nastiness with each return trip and if one has cast Horse shit...well you get the picture.

Now if you will excuse me I have to figure out how to remove the Gall from a Goat.
Micca, I have never seen a pair of Lips on Tartar sauce in all my Life. Is this something that is available in your local Sainsburys?

"come here Goat, I hear your bloody bell, here goatee goatee...

Rumble, jungle, feckin mumble....."

According to a certain Wellknown sage(and onion) the change to Dysons etc. came about because the "standard" broom tends to emulate the back string of a thong and can be very uncomfortable especially when doing rapid mid air manoeuvres, whereas the Dyson and other more "wide bodied" devices stay grounded on the external cheeks.
AAlba, I'm afraid when purchasing such devices It is vital to note the position of carrying handles and other fittings that might be uncomfortable in flight, A well fitted safety belt is also a wise precaution!!1

Away Ye Merry Lasses
(Crowwomen - on their debut album "Crow Goddess")
c. Georje Holper
I told me Mum I was going out, she asked what I was all about
I asked if I could take the broom, I'm going to meet the girls
Oh, the moon is wax tonight and don't you like the fellas?
I prefer the girls tonight, I'm going to ride the wind

chorus:
'Cause it's the girls' night out, away ye merry lasses
Get your brooms, get 'em out, we'll ride the wind tonight
Oh, it's the girls' night out, away ye merry lasses
Get your brooms, get 'em out, we'll ride the wind tonight

My sister is so bold and free, she asked if she could come with me
I saw her up above the trees, a-goin' to ride the wind
Oh, the moon is wax tonight and don't you like the fellas?
I prefer the girls tonight, I'm going to ride the wind
Chorus

As we were goin' out the gate we met our dear old mother
Ridin' a broom and hummin' a tune, goin' to ride the wind
Oh, the moon is wax tonight and don't you like the fellas?
I prefer the girls tonight, I'm going to ride the wind

Surely you meant hover Kraft, sorry hover Kat! *smile*
Those in the know, know that one of the lesser known secrets of the Kraft is a total aversion to Domesticity, after all why wear one's self out with domestic duties when you can pull a Mary Poppins on your Housework!. Simple enough wee spell as well:

In ev'ry job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap!
The job's a game
And ev'ry task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see that

A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way


*note to self, check if it is Slap or Snap *


Use it all the time myself. Haven't dusted, done Laundry, baked or vaccumed a rug for years by hand. Just chanted the 'SOS spell' and...Hey Pesto ~ job done.

Tried the second free spell last night.....now this one is well dodgy. Still trying to undo it. Will check back later with details........

re broomsticks.

broomsticks are usually pictured incorectly being used as flying aids. In traditional ( ie, pre-Wicca) practice, the brrom was mounted with the straw IN FRONT of the person, and a candle places in it and lit. Not exactly OSHA standard for fire safety.

The early texts (Farmer at al) discuss the use of the broomstick as a means to apply unguents to the privat parts. These were supposedly made ( the unguents) with materials that would induce hallucinogens, giving the user the feeling of flying.

So, a Dyson would not be of much use.

Bruce I very strongly advise you not to address any British Witches you may meet as " Warlocks" ( unless you WANT to spend the next year or two in a cool damp environment saying "Ribbit")it is widely regarded as a derogatory term.It is regarded as being a "literary artifice" at best by many and as a load of ***locks by others. Witches is a "non-gender specific" term in Modern Witchcraft.

I have faith that the Threefold Rule will protect me from those who might have the ability to do something to me, and that those not aware of that rule will only get what they deserve.

Many of those I know here prefer the word "Wiccan" to either term.

Jacqui has a Nimbus 2000. Goes BRMMMM BRMMMMM. Mine is a prop is from a costume store and site quietly in the corner.

Now Micca - Which witch are you? Are you a good witch or a bad witch? The Munchkins want to know.

Anyone else have an adverse reaction to picturing Tinker cleaning her house and humming "A Spoonful Of Sugar"?

Somebody posting above wrote about a "rye smile." Was this what you were thinking of?

When Linnda Caporael began nosing into the Salem witch trials as a college student in the early 1970s, she had no idea that a common grain fungus might be responsible for the terrible events of 1692. But then the pieces began to fall into place. Caporael, now a behavioral psychologist at New York's Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, soon noticed a link between the strange symptoms reported by Salem's accusers, chiefly eight young women, and the hallucinogenic effects of drugs like LSD. LSD is a derivative of ergot, a fungus that affects rye grain. Ergotism — ergot poisoning — had indeed been implicated in other outbreaks of bizarre behavior, such as the one that afflicted the small French town of Pont-Saint-Esprit in 1951
