 FIRST OF ALL CONGRATULATIONS TO SELIGOR'S CASTLE ON BEING UPGRADED TO 8 out of 10 BY ZOOMSHARE OUR WEB PROVIDERS. THANKYOU EVERYBODY FOR GETTING ME THERE.
Here we go a couple
of little stories before I set Wilma on you,
funnily enough both of these stories are about
witches and both of them have
 names that begin with a 'W', very
strange.
Enjoy and whoever wrote them the kids
would like to THANK YOU for letting Diddily borrow
them. Diddily says a big Thank You
also.
Wanda has a Lesson in
Spelling
Wanda the Witch went wandering through a
very spooky wood. She loved to practise spooky
spells, and the thought of being good made her feel
really ill.
In fact Wanda took great delight in
turning a patch of beautiful bluebells into a pool
of slimy, smelly goo. Then she gave a tree such a
creepy face that would frighten anyone who happened
to pass by.
Creeping through the undergrowth, Wanda came upon
a wizard, standing gazing into a pond. As quick
as
lightening she waved her wand and the wizard all
but leapt into the water.
It wasn't very deep
but it was very cold and full of horrible, slimy
weeds.
The
wizard leapt out in one huge jump, he was so angry
with Wanda that he cast a spell as he landed next
to her. His big red cloak, moved off his back and
wrapped itself around Wanda's body. Then it began
to squeeze her really
tight.
 "Say
sorry!" roared the wizard, "or you will stay like
that forever!"
Poor Wanda she was that shocked
to have met someone who was even speedier and
nastier than herself that she couldn't stop
apologizing to the wizard and not only that, she
even made a promise never to be nasty
again...
Hm,do you think she would keep her
word? Who knows we might find another story about
Wanda some where else on these
pages.
There have been many witches
written about,
some good some bad.
  Witches fill books and films.
Anyone remember Samantha Stevens as the witch
in Bewitched, why when she and Darren had
their baby Tabitha, she was even portrayed as a
witch. Not to mention her mother "Andora" and "Aunt
Clara" who always got spells wrong, of course we
have "Glenda the Good Witch" in The Wizard of Oz
and also The other compass witches, East and West,
both pretty mean.
 Who could forget the wicked witch
squealing Ill get you my pretty and your
little dog Toto too, with her scary green face,
flying on her
broomstick, with a legion of flying monkeys at her
command? Does she
have historical roots or is she purely imagination?
 Then there is the TV witches the
Halliwell sisters fighting evil
on Charmed, and what about Disney
and Hans Christian Anderson, the Brothers Grimm.
Without witches
casting their evil spells
none of these books would ever have made it into
the Disney  Land Films. There is Snow
White's step mother, she could work magic, for it
seems if you can cast a spell, you are a witch. The
we mustn't forget the most evil Witch King of
Angmar, from Lord of the Rings. Why don't you try
and count up all the witches you have read about
and maybe leave me a comment. There are Blog
entries for "seligorscastle and
diddilydeedotsdreamland" everywhere, even on the
side of this
frame.
Of course not all used to go well for the so called
"Witches" of the past, they were burnt alive,
drowned, locked up, tortured and even branded. And
these weren't tales in books, these were real
people who were blamed as being witches just
because their face didn't fit or they were old, or
even had a mark like a mole or blemish on their
skin.
