[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 276407, member: 1991"] OK, a few things here. 1) I used to read up a lot on witchcraft when I was younger. I was curious, that's all. But although I never personally dabbled, I got to know a lot about how it works. 2) This doesn't sound like witchcraft. it sounds like - fantasy. Imagination. Trash. Confusing mumbo jumbo. Which brings me to... 3) Either this didn't happen at all like this (ie your father made it all up out of his own tiny little mind) or 4) SHE made it all up, using whatever information she had been able to glean form your father. It's easy to do. Which would make it a confidence trick, rather than someone who really believes in what she is doing, someone who knows she is fake and is constantly trawling for new suckers. It is really easy to do, to hook someone in. Motive - sometimes it's just to make themselves feel important (the person who made up the 'weird magic' - the woman, or your father). Sometimes it's to milk people for money. "If you pay me $500 I can have the curse lifted from you. Didn't know you were cursed? well, how well has your life REALLY been going lately? Oh, it's ben good? Well, you want it to stay that way, don't you? Oh, it's relaly been bad? Then let's improve it." My final advice - don't get hoooked in. Marg [/QUOTE]
