    We were suppose to do it last Samhain, but it was entirely too cold. I think this year for Yule we're going to do handmade decorations, small dinner, and some more fireside storytelling (weather pending). I think it's time I start educating my daughter on the various religions around the world.
    i hope the weather holds out. could be a wonderful evening. =)

    Assuming the weather works out, it should be a lot of fun. Maybe this year I can tell my daughter the story about how witches started flying on broomsticks.

    During the time leading up to the witchcraft trials in Europe, the staple bread was made with rye. In a small town where the bread was fresh baked this was just fine, but as Europe began to urbanize and the bread took more time to get from bakery to grocer, the rye bread began to host a mold called "ergot.

    Ergot, in high doses, can be lethal, a fact that led to the rise in popularity of wheat bread, which is resistant to ergot mold.

    In smaller doses, ergot is a powerful hallucinogenic drug. And because the enjoyment of such things is not confined to this age alone, it became quite popular among those who were inclined towards herbalism and folk cures. It's mentioned in Shakespeare's plays, and turns up in virtually every contemporary writing of the witchcraft age. In particular, it is the inevitable central ingredient in the ointment that witches rubbed their broomsticks with.

    You see, when eaten, there was the risk of death, but when absorbed through the thin tissues of the female genitals, the hallucinogenic effects were more pronounced with less ill-effects. The modern image of a witch riding a broomstick was inspired by the sight of a woman rubbing herself on the drug coated smooth stick of her broom, writhing in the throes of hallucinations, and no doubt, some intense orgasms as well. To her unsophisticated neighbors, such a sight would have been terrifying. The lack of an equivalent mechanism for men is one reason why "witchcraft" was seen as a predominantly female phenomenon. The addition of clothing to the witch is a modern embellishment to protect 'Family Values'."



    Gotta love mold.I don't see how teaching this to Aurora would be a good idea right now.

    Where the ** did you get that **** from?

    Broomstick riding is actually a part of ritual preparation for some paths...

    And the image of a witch riding a broomstick was created from some nut watching witches using brooms to cleanse and consecrate the ritual area, thus riding broomsticks, and twisting it all out of proportion.

    No laura thats not the original cause of it.Most things in religious and mythical rituals and stories have roots in similar things.Originally it was due to what basically boiled down to was an infection and a very bizarre war to deal with it. Over time the story changed and it became a 'magic' tool.

    My guess would be that they are pumping post count for some reason.

    Broomstick riding ??? They should make that kind of flyer in game and to be for all classes...

    It's just an idea...
