All of Them, Witches
Sorry about not posting over the weekend folks, but I've been busy getting ready for the Milkmen shows on the 25th and 26th. [Translation: Vienna and I went to Dining With the Dead at Laurel Hill Cemetery on Friday night, where I drank a bottle of wine and woke up at five am on Saturday morning with a iniquitous hangover. Oh, and Vienna and I spent all day, Sunday, in bed watching Titus] The good news is that I've finally, after over a decade of indecision, settled on a schedule for RATYHL:
Monday: Anthology, Archeology, History, etc. (see below)
Tuesday: Entertainment (books, movies, music)
Wednesday: Will remain "One Star Wednesday" until further notice
Thursday: A sort of "quid ergo" day.
Friday/Saturday/Sunday: Will be used for dissecting the week's posts on the Charlie Daniels Soapbox (AKA "Shut up, you gawddamn ignorant hillbilly") and/or anything else that might pop up.
-.-
Just in time for Halloween: Three articles from Archeology Today
"By that time Wood was convinced that only witchcraft could explain her unusual finds"- from Witches of Cornwall
"One theory on the origins of guising and dressing as ghosts may be in the notion that the dead are returning on this night and the change of appearance may protect the human from being recognized by the returning spirits of the dead."- from Halloween’s Celtic Roots
"Now chemical analysis by Alan Massey and Tony Edmonds, both of Loughborough University, has proved what folk tradition had long held: that witch bottles were full of urine."
