GYPSY SORCERY

4. Go to the 5th sentence on the page and then copy the next 3 sentences on your blog.
It is not many years since philolgists, have taken up some favourite language-for instance, Irish-discovering many words in many tongues almost identical with others in "earse," boldly claimed that this tongue was the original of all the others.
Now we find the roots of all in the Aryan. So when we examine Folk-lore, it is doubtless of great importance that we should learn where a tradition last lived: but we must not stop there-we must keep on enquiring till we reach the beginning.
As a rule, with little exception, when we find anywhere the grosser forms of fetish and black witchcraft, we may conclude that we have remains of the worlds oldest faith, or the first beginning of supernaturalism in suffering and terror, a fear of mysterious evil influences.

Welcome back, Gypsy!!
That's quite a book....a good one for Halloween time!
MB - I think that Gypsy must have been born on Halloween. I think in one of her former lives, she must have lived in Salom Mass.
Indeed it is quite a book - magical
Gypsy - you must read the Feb 19 version of Stevie's blog.
GYPSY TOWERS..
DERELICTÉ MANSION
NEXT TO THE BOMBED OUT CHINESE
TRASHINGTON
SOMEWHERE...
NE666...
I'd Do Anything For Love (but I won't do that)
And I would do anything for love, I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love, I'll never lie to you and that's a fact
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, oh no, no way
And I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, I won't do that
Anything for love, oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, oh I won't do that
Some days it don't come easy, and some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end
Some nights you're breathing fire, and some nights you're carved in ice
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again
Maybe I'm crazy, but it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you
As long as the planets are turning, as long as the stars are burning
As long as your dreams are coming true, you better believe it
That I would do anything for love, and I'll be there til the final act
I would do anything for love, and I'll take a vow and seal a pact
But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight
And I would do anything for love, oh I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, no I won't do that
I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that
Some days I pray for silence, and somedays I pray for soul
Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N Roll
Some nights I lose the feeling, and some nights I lose control
Some nights I just lose it all when I watch you dance and the thunder rolls
Maybe I'm lonely and that's all I'm qualified to be
There's just one and only, the one and only promise I can keep
As long as the wheels are turning, as long as the fires are burning
As long as your prayers are coming true, you better believe it
That I would do anything for love, and you know it's true and that's a fact
I would do anything for love, and there'll never be no turning back
But I'll never do it better than I do it with you, so long, so long
And I would do anything for love, oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, no no no I won't do that
I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that
But I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life, no way
And I would do anything for love, oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, no I won't do that
[Girl:] Will you raise me up, will you help me down?
Will you get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?
[Boy:] I can do that! I can do that!
[Girl:] Will you hold me sacred? Will you hold me tight?
Can you colorize my life, I'm so sick of black and white?
Can you make it all a little less old?
[Boy:] I can do that! Oh oh, now I can do that!
[Girl:] Will you make me some magic, with your own two hands?
Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home?
[Boy:] I can do that! Oh oh now, I can do that!
[Girl:] Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?
Will you take me places I've never known?
[Boy:] I can do that! Oh oh now, I can do that!
[Girl:] After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on
[Boy:] I won't do that! No I won't do that!
[Girl:] I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down
And sooner or later, you'll be screwing around
[Boy:] I won't do that! No I won't do that!
Anything for love, oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, no I won't do that
Of course you'd have that book at hand...
We can now practice "informed" witchcraft...
Gypsy with a book to hand about the supernatural and witches reminds me of a Wallace and Grommet film (true!...lol).
There's a bit in one of them where Grommet has to look something up in a book, and all his books have to do with....yep....you guessed it!
'A hundred and one Dalmations' was just one of them..;-)
See what I mean??
MB..I gave birth to chantal on the witching hour of all hallows eve..does this count?..
The book i have is quite rare and old..i had a bag full of witchcraft books which chantal! threw out in her dereliction of oakland..
lannio i forgot to mention i read your version of events too and found that highly amusing aswell..great stuff!..
dale...when i left my full address with the request to the meat lyric what wont he do..i was under whelmed with your response..yes those are the song lyrics..but it still begs the question what wont he do??..IS it
A..GO ON A DIET?
B..GIVE UP SINGING?
C..WASH HIS HANKY?
D..SHAG THE DRUMMER?
Answers on a postcard to the above address...
Val are you saying i remind you of cruella deville?..lol..
10 March, 2007 17:16
leave and/or screw around...
...he won't do that.
i'd shag the drummer
DALE!!!...
tHANKYOU DALE FOR THAT INSIGHT..I SHALL SLEEP TONIGHT..
DALE!!!!! I'm, speechless!!!!
Gypsy....ahemm...who is Cruella Deville??
oh ya Val try to change the subject...
but i won't do that
It's daylight savings time early this year - i'll be an hour closer to you until the rest of the world catches up...
I was also going to change the subject! But Dale beat me to it...and I too will also sleep tonight (it's been a busy day)....but will lose an hour in the process.
The timing is uncanny, isn't it? There's a literary tag going around and Gypsy just so happens to have a bag of books about witchcraft and the occult near to hand.....fascinating, I think - and the passage is quite thought provoking.
I've written about Samhain and read about the 'roots' of other 'modern' tradition -- but how DID the traditions of Samhain come about those hundreds of years ago? I'm sure if one looked deeper - and could find the information - that those ancient traditions evolved from beliefs held for hundreds of years before....and so on back into time.
Gypsy - how lovely to see you back here. Glad you liked my poxy little rhyme; afraid that my status as a techno-retard (forgive the un-PC overtones) makes it impossible to record and post on YouTube, Myspace or do anything more sophisticated with it than sing it in the bath. (No bad thing.)
Glad to hear Gypsy Towers is lookin' gooooood ... hope to see some pics soon.
Your reading material is very interesting. It's not an area I'm very familiar with, so you've given me three paragraphs of enlightenment. Should I look for more?
Blessed Be, Gyspy luv. Have you planted your lavender yet?
Maybee in wee pot by the door...
I'd like to read that book.
ok, anyone feeling prudish and proper stop reading now...
Dale: not sure if I'd shag the drummer coz can't remember what he looks like.
But I'd shag Johnny Depp in a New York Minute and consequences be damned!
Not bad lookin' at all, Stevie - and he sure can keep a good beat...
Gypsy's familiar with my penchant for running off with drummers - dead or alive...
ah... I see. Dale and the Drummers: Keeping the Beat. Another CBC special... but this one could be like a mini-series!
He He, Dale's a serial drum beater...or is that a drummer eater..lol !!
PS I think Johnny Depp's pretty yummy tooo!
Ha ha, that's perfect...just perfect. I figured there must be a party going on over here.
Hey wee one! Have you disappeared on us again...hope the plaster hasn't falled out again and attached itself to your mouth...nooooooo that would never do!
lol val no more plaster...eeek!..been catching up on stuff..val you know cruella deville that devine woman..i want to be her when im 70..like my dead aunt lily..
dale likes school boy guitarists too..oh yesss..

We await impatiently!
And about the war with the Chinese... who started it>
Inquiring minds....
ok gypsy towers video coming soon...and the book and the musical..heh!
stephanie_greek: "crown"...
headstrong, impatient,sentimental,fond of all kinds of entertainment, and sometimes insecure in her actions..she is lacking in foresight-well???
oh yes the chinese wars..will explain soon..
Johnny Depp!!!!! Where??????? Oops, there I go being impulsive again...
oooh yes, my wee Angus!
no I don't think you get an extra one...but maybe...where did the one go that we lost?
hmmmm...
I found the one we lost ..it was thumbing a lift...but it had no idea where it was going..it was confused..i asked it if it was high on LSD and it replied..
"man i'm just cosmic zoinked"...
so i left it there...who knows where it is now..
so...do we get more hours of sunlight now?
Dammit Gypsy, put that hour down!!
Thanks for that Gypsy. Glad to hear your back and congrats on the move! Now cough up that hour I need it alright! Time shmime its so overrated.
"Time is on my side"...lol...I've got it over here...for the moment anyway ;-)
He would do anything for love....
BUT HE WON'T SHAG RAOUL!!!
alecia!!...yay!..well, Val has captured the hour and is holding it hostage...
free the hour one!!...
dale the old saying..
spring foward...
fall back..
sooo...(scratches head in dismay)..
chaz only you would shag raoul!!
Sorry erm I dont DO Raoul, period lol anyway you fibber the Gypsy book was not the closest thing you had to hand it was this weeks TV Choice and you had it poised on page 43 where there is an extreme close up of your idol Ken Barlows spectacles!!!
Thats an outragous lie chaz!..i'll sue!!..
good job it was'nt the viz..lol..
NO!!!! NOT Ken Barlow's specs...*faints away in horror* ....I remember him from ancient history...LOL Chaz...I think the Gypsy book is much more likely ;-)
Well, speaking of shagging... Marion (my little floozy of an avatar) seems to have spent the night away from her own cyber apartment... she and her avatar boy seem to both be sporting a little extra special "glow..."
My my my.... what could possibly be next?
I don't even know the lad's name... though I suspect it might be Robin... you'd have to ask Sir Ian of Nott.
rachel=hebrew "ewe", gentle ,yielding,impulsive,
economical nature, excellent housewife..is this you??..
Shit. I thought it meant "amazon" warrior, tenacious, supernatural strength, freak of nature, excellent....
Ken barlow is the pits val!lol..
do you think thy've been having cyber sex stevie1!!!..the mongrels..
rache i'm sure your those things too..
if you have cyber sex without protection, can you get a computer virus?
Hmm... hope Bonnie Marion was careful... she might end up looking a bit different...
"margie=margaret_persian: "pearl"

Actually, I didn't marry so young (26), and Colin's two years older, but otherwise that's perfect - in my dreams!
Speaking of dreams, I'd not be upset to spend time with Johnny Depp either, but for God's sake, Stevie - I'd want more than a minute please, in New York or anywhere else!
Oh,and I will sell one hour of genuine Australian sunshine to the highest bidder. Will part exchange for anything resembling rain.
Gyps, need some glasses. Ten or twenty thousand pair should do it.
I forgot to tell you last night, erm Daz had polished off his egg and all its innards before supper time, what a beast!
