Brazilian Creepy Folklore Figures
Creepy brazilian myths and folklore figures
Headless mules and human figures with magic powers and just one leg, a dolphin like creature that seduces women, a strong humanoid with just one eye in the forehead and their feet reversed, and, of course, a indigenous version of bad, really bad mermaids. Every country has it's own creepy figures in their folklore. Brazil is a country with one of the highest miscegenation and cultural mixing rations and, therefore, their natives myths and tales were mixed with foreigner folk tales and gave b...

Is it a Goblin, a Gnome, or a Gremlin?
Do you know what a Goblin is?
"From the hag and hungry goblin / That into rage would rend ye, / And the spirit that stands by the naked man / In the book of Moons defend ye!" from the ballad of Tom o' Bedlam. Well, I still don't after reading this verse from Tom's ballad. At Halloween time we here of "ghosts and goblins" without having a good idea what the goblin is. Maybe, just maybe, we will be able to distinguish the goblin from the gnome and the gremlin and the ghoul.

The Halloween Spirit
A Christian's Perspective
There's enough howl in Halloween to make a person batty! Ghosts float around and skull and crossbones block every path ~ does this "spirit" make you want to scream? In an age when protecting our children is ever important, I wonder if the gruesome and gore really have a place any longer. It's become politically incorrect to not join in the fun and spirit of this "Happy" day! Why does society allow evil images to infiltrate our lives, schools, even where we work?! I'm not trying to rattle any...

A Wiccan Halloween In a Witch's Kitchen
IN THE WITCH'S KITCHEN
An authentic recipe I obtained from a German Wiccan's website for baking a delicious traditional Breton Kornigou. Samain is one of the Wiccan Sabbats which are the seasonal festivals they celebrate. Samain is a harvest festival with ancient roots. It marks the end of the harvest, the end of the "lighter half" of the year and the beginning of the "darker half."
