Meanwhile in Finland, it’s not really the season for sheer fabrics… picture taken through the windowglass as nope, I’m not going out there if I don’t have to :sweat_smile:

I think I just figured out the saying “colder than a witch’s tit”… do your rituals skyclad when it looks like that and they’ll be pretty cold :joy: I’m not that hardcore, I’m keeping mine nice and warm under a sweater or two :smile_cat:

I would love to be there. But I find my bits get cold really easily even when there isn’t snow. :joy: My partner has to hear me complain about it a lot in winter.

It might be helpful to let newbies know that tapping on the blur clears it if it is important to read. It took me a month to figure that out.

Yes, that’s an important addition- thanks for noting it, Georgia! :grinning:

The funny thing about this one is that there’s actually a Welsh curse that involves flashing someone their breasts! :joy: Mhara Starling (a Welsh Witch) shared it on TikTok, I think? I’m gonna go find it.

Ahh yes, here it is.

And here’s the context from her Instagram Post (https://www.instagram.com/p/CQv2GrxLrL6/).

Throughout history in Wales, cursing was a skill that practically all common folk were said to have. Curses in the traditional sense would be acts where an individual would call to God, or a similar power, and wish all manners of ill fortune and torture upon their victims.

Welsh women in particular were seen as ruthless cursers. And the most notorious cases of Welsh cursing were cases that crossed the boundaries of social class and gender. A woman cursing a man, very powerful curse indeed! A poor woman cursing a rich man? That man better be ready for an absolute storm.

In the Welsh language there even exists terminology, separate from the terminology for magical practitioners, purely to describe those who cursed others. Curses were “rheibiau”. Male cursers were “rheibiwr” and female cursers were “rheibies”.

Curses would be carried out by women in a rather ritualistic manner. They would fall to their knees, raise their hands skyward and scream their curses loudly. And yes, occasionally, they would bare their breasts.

One example of a woman baring her breasts as part of a curse tells of a mother from the Mawddwy area. Her two sons were being persecuted by the law. She pleaded with a high status man to spare one of her sons at least. When she was denied this, she pulled out her breasts, fell to her knees and said “these yellow breasts have given suck to those who shall wash their hands in your blood”. That man was murdered not long after this curse was placed upon him.

So the lesson in this is: don’t cross a Welsh woman. Ever.

Richard Suggett - a history of witchcraft and magic in Wales (2008, the history press)

J.M. Shuttleworth (Ed.) - The life of Edward, first lord Herbert of Cherbury, written by himself (1976) 6: a tour in Wales.

So, maybe the witch in that last meme is actually casting a curse! :joy:

Whoa. :astonished: :joy: But I gotta know now if her sons were spared. I did a quick search and got distracted by this instead: https://rune.une.edu.au/web/bitstream/1959.11/22216/7/open/SOURCE06.pdf

customary practices were used as the means of eliciting an admission of guilt from the witch, the cause of the malefice. Only with such an admission could the reconciliation process be achieved and inter-personal harmony restored.

That part I don’t know - I haven’t read Mhara’s book yet, but maybe the sources there from her Instagram post have something. I’ll have to do some digging later!

Is my tired brain reading that right - the witch needed to admit guilt and then the curse was removed? :sweat_smile: another thing to tuck away and read later!
