Oh, that obituary is PERFECT. Also, I've always feared more the men who burned the witches than the actual witches. Now I have to go watch Practical Magic again.
Great collection, I LOVE you Obit. I should write something like that. One of my students interns wrote a short article about women with dementia who were tried as witches. Disturbing.
Yes hug a witch - we could use the love. That obituary is amazing. I would have love to have known her. Being told you have a great cackle is the ultimate compliment.
I think I'm going to have all my friends write an obit of me ..like a contest..best one gets a What would yellowdoggranny do tshirt and the obit used at my funeral..fuck that's not a bad idea.
I LOVE that obituary! I should write up something like that while I'm still around, so if I go before the most amazing man in the world, he can post it. My Christian friends and family would have a field day with that!
I enjoyed all your funnies, Debra. But the one that really impacted me was about how we were taught to fear witches and not the ones who burned them alive. I've always thought the "witches" never had a chance. Happy Friday!
Cold blows the wind today my love and a few small drops of rain
I was thinking about my boyfriend
Anyway, after all that grief At least we had our time
Go investigate the Childe Ballads. This song is called the unquiet grave. You will find treasures. Of course they are mostly talking about murders and child abuse and treachery . It is not for the faint hearted.
Speaking of witches, I'm not sure what the definition is. We have all kinds of witches. Also we have brujas and brujos. It is not a problem. It depends on how you see things.
This post made me think about giving a witch a hug. That is not something I normally do. It would be ok i guess, but then everybody would say that i hugged a witch.!
I don't want to be burned at some stake, or thrown into a pond.
I am not the one to point fingers, but these Christians are getting dangerous.
Not everyone is a witch, and it is not a full time identity. It is a way of thinking, it is a joke, it depends on the color of the sky. All of us witches love birds. I can say that. I actually said hello to one of my neighbor witches today, and later on to another. We have a happy little witch colony. It would not be to say that we live in fear, but as witches we are always ready.
Love that bubbling cauldron!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I am siding with Fairy Tale witches more and more too lol! ☺☺♥
ReplyDeleteThat obituary creative.... that was in the paper for real I probably be cackling. It certainly would be a creative obituary.
ReplyDeleteI went to see Wicked with my older daughter, and I'm still alive.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great obituary!

ReplyDeleteIsn't that the TRUTH!
Poor Fred. What slander!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great obituary.
ReplyDeleteI might have to start writing mine to leave for my family pl so they can have a giggle once I’m gone lol
True the fear should be directed to the ones that burned witches alive. Ignorance and fear are more deadly. You have done it again. Fabulous post!

ReplyDeleteYou can have the house. I'll just take the ruby slippers.
ReplyDeleteGreat Obituary!
ReplyDeleteI have a black soup mug with Witches Brew written in white. I use it for hot chocolate.
I'm just grateful that witches are no longer burned at the stake. I got off easy!
ReplyDeleteCheers.
That obit brought a smile to my face. And that those Ruby Red shoes are to die for...sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI loved the obituary of the great Which, late of Hailey, Idaho. These people are treasures. It is good to know that she was loved.
ReplyDeleteHailey is in the other end of state, about 9.5 hour drive.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Cold blows the wind today my love

If my wife dresses up like a witch I'll be doing more than hugging her
