Each day I write your blog, with no real idea about which you like, or even hate! Do you enjoy my blogs in general, and find them interesting, or would you prefer different topics? If possible, let me know which you enjoy, which not so much. Do you enjoy the factual ones, humour, astrology, origins of days we celebrate often without knowing why? Useful sites and tips for writers? Or even if there…

‘Nails’ by Matt Nuth

‘Nails’ by Matt Nuth

Comments 0 Comment

A story too disturbing to be true, too possible to be ignored, and it should frighten each of us. Nails is a powerful exploration of society’s willingness to sacrifice freedom through the eyes and actions of three deeply flawed people who are thrown together into a riveting, dark and twisted world in which each of them is used and discarded by those in authority. Tau is a man who would slit his own mother’s throat if the opportunity arose. He is recruited to help change a future election, and, in the process, move Democracy closer and closer to autocracy. Simon…

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick,Jack jump over the candle-stick. The rhyme is first recorded in a manuscript of around 1815 and was collected by James Orchard Halliwell in the mid-nineteenth century. Jumping candlesticks was a form of fortune telling and a sport. It’s has been said, that the kids poem was created to explain the practice of candle jumping, which was famous way back in the 1600’s. Generally practiced at festivals in England, young girls would leap over a lit candle, trying not to extinguish its flame. Good luck was said to be signalled by clearing a candle without…

Of all the dark meaning of children’s nursery rhymes, one of the worst must be  ‘ Mary Mary quite contrary.’ This rhyme is usually said to be about Bloody Mary, daughter of King Henry VIII and concerns the torture and murder of Protestants. Queen Mary was a staunch Catholic and her “garden” here is an allusion to the graveyards which were filling with Protestant martyrs.The ‘silver bells’ were a type of thumbscrew and the ‘cockle shells’ were also instruments of torture, used on Protestant martyrs to ‘persuade’ them to change faith. The ‘maiden’ was an instrument used to behead people…

Easter is called a moveable feast because the date changes every year. Easter Sunday can fall on any date from 22 March to 25 April.

Easter always falls on the first Sunday following the full Moon after the 21st March. In 2023 Good Friday is on 7th April and Easter Monday on 10th April.             Symbolism has always played an important part in festivals and celebrations, and Easter is no exception to this rule.

Where and Why did we ever start using Piggy Banks?

Where and Why did we ever start using Piggy Banks?

The invention of the piggy bank originated over 600 years ago in the 15th century when people would use pots to store what money they had. At that time, metal was an expensive commodity and not frequently used for household equipment. Household items such as plates and pots were made from an  affordable clay called ‘pygg’. During The Middle Ages, whenever folks could save an extra coin or two, they dropped it into one of their clay jars forged from the orange-coloured clay material. These money containers were not as a matter of course made in the shape of pigs, but…

Owls in History and Magic

Owls in History and Magic

Owls have been associated with magic for a very long time, but do we know why? They seem to be second only to cats in their mystic ways and as witches’ familiars. Barn owls are especially considered to be magical creatures associated with witchcraft. They are also said to have some connection with death and rebirth, which is why they can be seen as omens of change.  The owl’s association with wisdom was first established in Roman times, for they are the emblem of Minerva, Goddess of Wisdom. In Greek Myth owls were similarly associated with Athena, the Goddess of…

Have you ever studied Gargoyles? They are fascinating creatures, who actually serve a purpose on buildings they adorn around the world. The very thought conjures images of hideous, brooding creatures perched high above cities and villages The most terrifying ones look as though they might break free from the stone and attack. When gargoyles began appearing on churches throughout Europe in the 13th century, they served as decorative water spouts, crafted to preserve stone walls by diverting the flow of rainwater outward from rooftops. This function, technically speaking, distinguishes gargoyles from other stone beasts. The word gargoyle derives from the…

The Origins of Boxing Day

The Origins of Boxing Day

There are several theories as to the origin of Boxing Day, but in general the tradition has long included the wealthy giving money and other gifts to the poor. The European tradition dates to the Middle Ages, but some claim it dates back even farther to the late Roman/early Christian era when metal boxes were placed outside churches to collect special offerings connected to the Feast of Saint Stephen. A reference to Boxing Day’s origins appears in the Christmas Carol, “Good King Wenceslas.” Wenceslas, who was Duke of Bohemia in the early 10th century, saw a poor man gathering wood…

The Romans called it Dies Natalis Invicti Solis, the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun.

Christmas origins…

So, it is almost Christmas again, and time for the mad panic that it always causes as we rush around for cards and presents. That means it’s also time for my first Christmas blog, all about the origins of the special day. The word ‘Christmas’ comes from the Old English term ‘Cristes Mæsse’, meaning the ‘Mass of Christ’. The story of Christmas, as we all know, begins with the birth of a baby in Bethlehem. Many believe that Christ was born on the 25th, although the exact month is unknown. December could well have been chosen so the Catholic Church…

The Origins of Thanksgiving

The Origins of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated on varied dates of the year in the United States and Canada celebrating the harvest and other blessings of the past year. Americans generally believe their Thanksgiving is modelled on a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English colonists (Pilgrims) of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people. The Pilgrims travelled from Europe to the New World, a continent they had never known before, in hopes of creating a community free to worship God away from the strict rules of their old government. For many hard months they journeyed across the Atlantic Ocean enduring vicious storms,…

I do not want to ‘review’ the dog’s tablets, which, frankly, I cannot answer because it is for THE DOG!!!

A Spade and a Bottle of Port by Tam Meijer

Grace realizes hiding your husband’s body in the backyard is one thing, to ensure it remains hidden is a whole different matter. Add to that a line-up of mistresses looking for their lover-slash-Grace’s cheating-ass husband, a wedding reception, a mother with a fondness for smoking herbal cigarettes, and the task seems almost impossible. Luckily, she can count on Nat and Debs, her two best friends, to help out. But even with creative thinking and seizing opportunities when they present themselves, can Grace get away with murder? A funny, light-hearted, and somewhat outrageous story about the struggles in relationships and the…

10 Things you may want to know about Ghosts By P.J. Roscoe Okay, I know ‘Halloween’ has passed when everyone goes spook mad, but we thought you’d like a snippet of information regardless…? There are different types of ‘ghost’. A ‘Ghost’ or ‘residual haunting’ is a replay, a moving photo that has no consciousness. It does not know you are there, hence sometimes, they will move right through you if you’re in their path. A spirit is you and me; we have consciousness, feelings, thoughts and actions and will act accordingly. These spirits are interacting with you and me when…

A light-hearted history of Bonfire Night  

Bonfire Night will soon be with us all again. Would you like to know the origins of this eventful night? The historic origins of Bonfire Night date to the conflict between virtually outlawed Catholics and the Protestant establishment of the 16th and early 17th century. On November 5, 1605, Guy Fawkes (the real one, not the stuffed variety) and a group of Catholic conspirators who felt badly treated by the King put 36 barrels of gunpowder in a cellar underneath the Houses of Parliament. (Not a bad idea, do I hear you say?) Some of those involved in the plot…

The Origins of Halloween

It will soon be Halloween everyone, one of the most important dates in witches calendars.             Though we celebrate Halloween on 31st October each year, do you know why?             Well, here is a brief explanation!             Halloween seems to have its roots in the Celtic celebration of Samhain, the last day of the Celtic calendar. Samhain was a Pagan harvest festival celebrated by huge sacred bonfires in honour of the dead, marking the end of the Celtic year and the beginning of a new one. Fire often symbolised the power of the sun, or served as a defence against…

It’s not big and it’s not clever to practice your barking at 4am. If Master glances at his watch and stands up, it doesn’t have to mean walkies. Every tin does not contain dog food. The cat is allowed in the house too. Wet, muddy dogs are not allowed on the furniture. It isn’t polite to leave your dinner so that you’re not too full to beg what you can from Master’s dinner first. Barking at people as an afterthought when they’ve been in the house for half an hour is very stupid. Just because someone is eating doesn’t mean…

Truth behind the Nursery Rhymes we grew up with. 

Truth behind the Nursery Rhymes we grew up with. 

“Goosey, Goosey Gander” is a traditional English nursery rhyme from the late 18th century. The more I read of nursery rhymes, the more cruel they seem to become! Although there is no exact evidence of this, it is believed that the origins of Goosey, Goosey Gander date back earlier to the 16th century, during King Henry VII’s reign, and it was used as propaganda of the Protestants against the Catholic Church. The title and first line of the song might also refer to the march of Cromwell’s soldiers in “goose-step”, in the mid 17th century, after the Civil War. The…

The thing on the perch is not a feathered kebab. The entire world does not revolve around you. Hearing purring doesn’t deaden your slave’s pain as your claws dig into their leg. Mangled, gory, quivering presents are not really appropriate. The purpose of having 9 lives is not to see how quickly you can use them up. Staring at the swimmy thing will not make it leap out of the tank. If you lose your bell, you’ll just be fitted with another. Killing shouldn’t really be at the top of your ‘Fun Things to do’ list.

Truth behind the Nursery Rhymes we grew up with. 

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,She had so many children she didn’t know what to do.So she gave them some broth without any bread,And she whipped them all soundly and sent them to bed. This rather cruel nursery rhyme, which dates back to eighteenth-century England, has a few suggested meanings. The most often quoted  refers allegedly to the English Parliament—who is the old woman. The shoe is England itself. If you look at the map of the island of Great Britain and turn it 90 degrees clockwise, you can see very clearly that the island resembles…
