Ring My Bell: Adventures in Witchcraft Around Town

" May we clean the bell?"

Yeah, said (something like) that to a church secretary. Azzerac explained (fairly) honestly why we wanted the bell grease, and offered to clean the (unkempt) bell once a month as a service to the community.
She looked panic-stricken; one hand reaching for the phone, and the other for a plaque of Jesus :(
At least she can tell the kids that there really are Witches in Manitou.

Maybe I should have covered up the tattoos and worn a bow in my hair.

Its the oldest church in Manitou, and there isn't any way to view the bell without a giant, obvious ladder.

Maybe the Episcopalians will let me in? Maybe I should hurl a sack of lard and wait for the drippings to succumb to gravity? *twitch and shudder*

This was so much easier in Virginia.

Its just as well, the day wasn't lost. I did find a great source of old Mercury dimes, on the long, sad walk home, lol
After Azzerac wrestled his rightful buffulo jerky out of Cowboys hands, I got that tingle in the back of my skull... I could smell the 1932 Mercury dime across the room :)

So we've got a quite a few in the shop now, glad to say.

Wish me luck on the continuing bell adventures!

I wouldn't do that if I were you...

In fairly recent news (at least by Pagan Standard Time), the Cobb County (Georgia) Commissioner Annette Kesting hired a Voodoo Priestess to curse Kesting's opponent in the upcoming election. Kesting allegedly special requested cancer, or a car accident. Whatever.
Needless to say, the checks bounced, her opponent won, and her political career is in the toilet.
If your head is so mixed up that you need your competition whacked, how can you be expected to balance a check book, right?

Seriously? Does anyone not get that it is a bad idea to piss off a witch?!!

That was really just an excuse to post a link to the Moo Ha Ha! Awards ;)

I'm gonna go look into this whole "sleep" thing now.

Cheers,
