Rain said...

These are great! I am siding with Fairy Tale witches more and more too lol! ☺☺♥

Mistress Maddie said...

That obituary creative.... that was in the paper for real I probably be cackling. It certainly would be a creative obituary.

LL Cool Joe said...

I went to see Wicked with my older daughter, and I'm still alive.

Liz Hinds said...

What a great obituary!

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

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.

XOXO

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.

Marcia LaRue said...

Yum ... split pea soup!
Love all of these ... the obit! OMG 👍

Bob said...

I love the obit!!!
"a husband of little to no importance?' slayed.

DVArtist said...

These are all wonderful.

Lady M said...

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.

A husband of little to no importance... I think I would have liked Holly Blair.

Laura said...

bobbie said...

LOVE the Obit!!

Miss Val's Creations said...

Holly Blair must have had quite the personality! Anyone who rescues animals wins me over.

Mike said...

"and those that killed them"
Isn't that the TRUTH!

Old Lurker said...

Poor Fred. What slander!

yellowdoggranny said...

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.

angela said...

What a great obituary.
I might have to start writing mine to leave for my family pl so they can have a giggle once I’m gone lol

roentare said...

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!

Martha said...

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!

Joanne Noragon said...

Too many to mention.

Fundy Blue said...

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!

Kirk said...

You can have the house. I'll just take the ruby slippers.

River said...

Great Obituary!
I 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!

Cheers.

G. B. Miller said...

That obit brought a smile to my face. And that those Ruby Red shoes are to die for...sometimes.

I loved the obituary of the great Which, late of Hailey, Idaho. These people are treasures. It is good to know that she was loved.

peppylady (Dora) said...

Hailey is in the other end of state, about 9.5 hour drive.
Coffee is on and stay safe

Richard said...

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.

Richard said...

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.

Adam said...

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

Noa said...

¡Me encantan las brujas! Te abrazo xoxo

Sassybear said...

We have the flying monkeys sign in our house :-)

Ur-spo said...

Just love them witches !

Hena Tayeb said...

Guillaume said...

I love witches, but generally as villains.

baili said...

i loved witches in cartoon only

i enjoyed all of these and one about fearing from those who burned them found profound indeed ,liked it more

Richard said...

Dear baili
you are not the only one who feels this way
thank you for saying this

I love visiting this place She Who Seeks.
I like to hear what people are thinking
I call this place a home

I am only a guest.

Rommy said...

I'd consider having a great cackle a WONDERFUL compliment!
