The Day of the dead


The day of the dead is a traditional Mexican holiday that commemorates and honors the death of a love family member and friends.Despite its spooky name, the Day of the dead is a festive celebration of devotion and remembrance,that lasts for two days in early November every year.
As the holiday approaches ,families prepare altars in their homes by filling them with flowers ,candles,and photos of lost love ones . symbolic gifts, such as breads or sugar skeletons are presented by friends and neighbors and added to the shrines..On November 1 st, households throughout Mexico carry the contents of their altars to their local cemeteries where they spend the night at the grave sites of their lost relatives ,telling stories and talking to the spirits of the dead. In the morning .the mourners return home in high spirits to celebrate with music and lavish feasts. as dusk sets in doors and window are pushed open so that any remaining spirits may wander in and out and join the revelry.

Bedtime Stories & I Sold My First Item on Ebay

Halloween blessing
At thus time of dark and night, spirits often give fight.We call upon the ancient dead, circling now around our head . Bring the blessing from before, while we stand with open door. Ancient spirits hear us now, peace and love do we avow.


Revenge an Enemy Spell:
This spell is not to be taken lightly and should only be used when all other non magical remedies have failed. If you wish to stop the antics or trickery of an enemy and get revenge,this time -honored charm will work without fail. Simply write the name of your rival on a small piece of paper, roll it into a tiny ball, and place it in an empty mug along with a strand of the person's hair.Fill the mug with water and, as you hide it away in the depths of your freezer, recite aloud." May your teeth chatter and your stomach grow fatter. !" .The moment the water hardens into ice ,the spell will take effect. But be warned! If the ice should melt ,the spell will be instantly broken. So defrost at your risk.

I forgot to say , more chills and thrills to come later for your bedtime stories to read" Good Night my Friends" ( because I wasstill doing my witchy dance !!!!!!!

A Moonlight spell

Moonlight is the special ingredient of many spells and charms. For instance , reflecting moonlight off a mirror onto the face of a sleeping person will put that person under your spell (I need to try that one on my husband) Moonlight can also be captured in water and used in a variety of magical recipes. Place a full jar of water outdoors beneath a full moon and let it sock up the moonbeams all night. Then recite aloud . "Moon spirit from up above , fill this jar with magic and love."Keep the jar tightly sealed until you need it ti perform a spell or create a brew . One excellent mystical recipe that requires full moon water is Psychic Tea. Heat one cup of full moon water with 1/4 cup of mint leaves and a sprinkle of sugar. Simmer fir 15 minutes and strain. Drinking this tea before performing my psychic work will help focus the vision of your inner eye and heighten your senses.
Will now you can also have a cup of tea with your cookie . The next full moon won't be until MAY 9. GOOD LUCK let me know if you make tea & cookies.

Almost forgot: Goodnight my friends !!

LADDERS - FRANKENSTEIN

It is widely known superstition that to walk under a ladder is bad luck. Historical explanations for this justify this sinister conclusion.To the ancient Egyptians, the shape of the pyramids was scared .and to walk under a ladder would be to break the triangle it formed with the wall. This was a act they believed would have deadly consequences.
The Christians have similar tenet, but believe it is the Holy trinity ( father .son and Holy Ghost)that is violated when a ladder is crossed under.When you walk through the triangle ,it is feared, you walk with the devil.
In more recent times , tall ladders were used to take the dead from the noose after they had been hanged . It was believed that they walked under the ladder ,the dead, swinging from the gallows above, would watch you pass, and then you too, would meet your death. It was also feared that the body would fall onto those who crossed below.



Frankenstein Story

It was a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony.I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet.It was already one in the morning ,the rain pattered dismay against the panes , and my candle was nearly burnt out , when ,by the glimmer of the half extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open :it breathed hard , and a convulsive motion agitated it limbs.
How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe , or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful . Beautiful! Great God ! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath, his hair was of a lustrous black,and flowing ,his teeth of pearly whiteness,but these luxuriance's only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colourise the dun -white sockets in which they were set, his, shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.
The different accidents of life are not so changeable as the feeling of human nature. i had worked hard for nearly two years , for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. fir this I had deprived myself of the rest and heath . I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation, but now that I had finished ,the beauty of the dream vanished , and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.

My mother was very superstition , one day she back up 6 blocks. Good thing there was no one behinds use back then I was about 9-10 I asked what if the cat walk back there behind use .She said I didn't see him walk there .She didn't like cats special black .And when my daughter was little we has a black cat.

A SPELL TO DREAM TRUE - A love Spell

It is well known among modern witches and sorcerers that dreams are useful tools for telling the future. To inspire psychic dreams, stuff your pillow with the leaves of the weed -like Mugwort plant, using this dream pillow to inspire prophecy dates back to ancient magical times. Always sleep alone when using a Mugwort pillow and keep a pad of pencil handily to jot down your visions as soon as you wake .If you can't gather enough of the herb to fill your pillow , just a few dried leaves burned as incense should do the trick quite nicely.

Does anyone need a love spell ???????????????????If so here it is.
Here's a spell that bring the object of your affection right your door.
When the first snowfall of winter comes, build two snowmen in your yard or nearby park.Make one in your image and the other in the image of the one whose heart you hope to capture. Each snowman must wear something that belongs to the person they represent. Sweeten the spot where the heart if each snowman should be with a little sugar and make sure that they are touching . then light a votive candle ( but don't leave the candle unattended0. Recite this charm:

By this candle that I light
Let my true love now take flight.
Lead my love on a magical tour.
Ending outside my front door.

By the time the candle has burned out, your beloved will have knocked upon your door.

Too bad winter is gone. you have to wait and try it in the winter and let me know if it works.

Bedtime Stories

BROOMS

With all the surrounding brooms, it's a wonder any housework gets done at all. You should avoid placing a broom against your bed because the broom 's evil spirit will cast a spell on it , Don't let a broom sweep over your feet if you ever wish to be married and never step over the handle of a broom lying on the floor because it's to bring death.
If you drop a broom , company will arrive.If you sweep trash out your door at night , it summons the visit of a stranger. And if you forget to sweep out the room where an unwelcome guest has stayed ,that guest may return.
To prevent additional bad luck, never take your old broom with you when you move. Purchase a new one , or avoid trouble all together and just use a vacuum cleaner!




The Banshee

One of the most frighting and magical creatures in Irish and Scottish legend is the Banshee. Known as the fairy of death, a visit from the banshee foretells the certain demise of a family members or loved one.
Described as a beautiful young maiden in flowing white robes, the Banshee often delivers her death curse while floating above water or riding upon the back of a galloping steed.

Only her crimson eyes betray her inhumanity , for otherwise she looks just like a normal woman.More horrifying than her appearance are the tortured wails and moans she cries out just before the moment of death. So next time you hear a distant howl, think twice . It could be a neighborhood dog baying at the moon ,or it just might be the Banshee coming to pay you a visit.
More chills and thrills to come later for you bedtime stories to read . good night my friends.

The Stoey of the Jack -o--Lantern



The story of the Jack -O-Lantern , another bed time story for you. A long tie ago an Irishmen named Jack found himself face to face with the Devil while sipping whiskey at a local pub.Satan had come to claim Jack's soul.But Jack ,a con artist to the core ,tricked the Devil into climbing a nearby tree on a dare. No sooner had the Devil Prince Prince triumphantly reached the top branch ,when Jack quickly pulled out a knife and craved a crucifix into the trunk ,trapping the Devil in the tree.
Jack escaped that night with his soul intact,but continued to live out the rest of his days as a trickster and a drunk. When he died at the ripe old age ,Jack was turned away from Heaven's gates for living such a dishonest and sinful life. so arriving at Hell's flaming threshold, Jack found himself staring into Satan's eyes once again.The devil fixed him with an evil glare and refused him entry into the fiery pit. stranded in the blackness between heaven and hell.Jack begged the Devil
for a candle to light his way. The devil threw him a burning coal and turned his back on Jack forever.Jack placed the ember in a craved out turnip ,using it as a lantern as he wandered the nether worlds in anguish.
The Jack -o- Lantern soon became the Irish symbol for a dammed soul and was often placed in a window on Halloween to scare off evil spirits. when the Irish later immigrated to the America .they began using pumpkins to make these superstitious lanterns instead of turnips, which were less plentiful and harder to come by .today , jack -o-Lanterns are a favorite Halloween tradition, used as spooky decorations rather than spiritual watchmen.

Salt & Superstitions



If your scared of evil spirits try this ,sprinkle salt at the doorstep of a new home ,so no evil spirits will never enter.Don't hand a salt shaker to a guest at your dinner table. Place it down first remember ," to pass salt is to pass sorrow ". It's understood that when we spill salt,friendly spirits to our right are warning us what evil approach on the left, so toss a pinch of salt it way to stave off danger.
For thousands of years , superstitions about salt have been incorporated into religious , domestic and business practices.because salt can preserve food, people thought it had the power to protect them as well.Salt was poured into to wells to purify water against evil and was place on the chest of a corpse before burial.
Believing it lengthened life, mothers even salted their babies .
In biblical times ,people ceremoniously ate salt to ensure business agreements would remain true. (hence the expression "a covenant of salt'). Not always considered good luck , it was forbidden to speck the word "salt"while at sea for fear of the consequences.
Even in the supernatural world salt is relied upon . It's is often placed in the corners of a room before a spell is cast and the harmful spells of others are known to be broken with a ritual salt bath.
