woolybanana Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 There used to be a coven of witches on this forum and I was wondering whether any members are still practising and could give me some words of wisdom, svp?On Monday afternoon my neighbour, Quasimodo, the one who is hated by the village, whose wife is locked in, and who is trying to get the mayor into prison, knocked on the shutters and sought conversation, wearing a suit and white socks. An unheard of event. He looked a little rattled (not raddled, Norman!). Apparently on the Sunday evening someone had dumped a dead fox on his doorstep with a noose round its neck. Now, can any of you witches please speculate as to whether this is something like a mafia kiss, a rural warning like a dead owl stuck on your car? Should he be patrolling with a shotgun or expect his waters to turn black, or should he avoid hunting for a while, given that many of the hunting fraternity are those who would love to get a shot in?Advice appreciated.

retread Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Showed this to the boss and she says that yes A the intent would be to worry him and B the curse would be ineffective because it should have been nailed to the door. The wearing of white socks with a suit could however be cause for a visit from a fashion coven [6]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Of course his punishment might be lessened if he took them off before getting into bed....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Trunk Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I had lots of pain after a bout of opthalmic shingles, and my medecin traitant recommended I go to a sorcière. I thought he was joking but he was perfectly serious. When the doctor can't help you. you go to the withdoctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Actually, ET, I would gave taken his advice, having seen the results. It is closer to healing or laying on of hands and it does work. TRUST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 What a strange and curious reaction to get spruced up in his Sunday best, down to his white socks, and go and 'get help?' 'discuss' with the anglais next door! Even if he is a bad man, did he really deserve this? And unless he did this himself, then there is someone seriously crazy in your neighbourhood! This is a very very creepy thing to do! Poor fox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yes, poor fox. But he does deserve it, and much, much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 It does appear to ba a country practice when someone is in the wayUn renard mort déposé chez un militant anti-algues The plot thickens as we wonder if it is due to the flashy white socks, his locked up wife or his frequentations with an eccentric British neighbour.But, as you say, poor fox.

Hoddy Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 It is something I've seen done in England. I and others used regularly to ride a perfectly legally bridle path in our parish. There was often a newly killed fox on top of the hedge, which just happened to be on eye-level for a horse rider. I knew it was done with the intention of alarming us, but it never occurred to me that it might be witchcraft. Even so if the vet couldn't cure animals, especially horses, and there happened to be some real gypsies in the area they would be consulted.I'm so glad to have wonderful French neighbours.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterG Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 " laying on of hands and it does work. TRUST."Yep, I'd go with the laying on of hands. A couple of swift body punches, quick uppercut and a right hook. That should do the trick......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ceour de Lion II Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I wouldn't worry too much. It's just a gesture and probably as ineffective as any other ritual in any other religion.At first I thought this thread was about getting witches through customs in France :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
