Variation On A Theme...

[badstar]

This one I might actually consider motivation to not wear a particular piece of jewelery....

So yesterday, I'm down by the harbor, waiting for a bus, minding my own business and this girl comes up to ask if I know the time. I told her.

And she's suddenly going balistic...it kinda goes like this...

Her- "Oh my god! A witch?"

Me (suspecting that I know what's next, wanting to have a few giggles out of the exchange)- "A witch? Oh My god, where?" (I also jumped up and looked around frantically)

Her-"You, duh. You're a witch."

Me- "No I'm not."

Her- "Yes. You are. Hey, have you seen the latest Silver Ravenwolf book?"

Me- "No I'm not. No I haven't"

Her- "Yes, you are. That's so cool! You're wearing one of those penta-whatsits. That means you are a witch. Can I join your coven? Hey, could you teach me a spell to make this guy fall in love with me? Oh, and you have to see the book. You probably have the rest of her books though riight?"

Me- "I'm not a witch. I don't belong to a coven. I don't do spells. Me wearing the peenta-whatsit doesn't make me a witch any more than you wearing that cross makes you a Christian. I do now own, nor have I ever even read a book by Silver Ravenwolf."

(I contemplated telling her that I was a Christian wearing a pentacle to signifiy the 5 Wounds of Christ, and that the flame was symbolic of the flames that Paul (I think) saw above the heads of Christs followers....and I can't remember now what book of the bible that came from...but I thought that was going to far. Plus, I was afraid her brain would explode. I didn't want exploded brain bits on me.)

Her- gives me an injured look. "Well if you're not a witch, then what...oh nevermind, you're not going to tell me, you want to be all smug and superior and secret." Stomps off before I can respond. Other people standing by look kinda confused and not really sure what to say. I go back to reading.

I must have Moron Magnets imbedded in my skin.

With that sort of entertainment value, why would you ever take it off?

At 5 Tesla, at least. That one sounds like a nightmare-trip to the Twilight Zone.

youre so smug and superior and secretive. i love you, you sexy witch!

:-D

but seriously, i wanna hear about her brain exploding. you should have told her the five wounds story. and by the sound of things, it really wouldnt have been a very big mess.

[fuego.livejournal.com]

awww i love you too!

I totally agree with liritsvoice!! I think that would have been funny. People call me the closet christian because I seem to know a bit too much about the Bible and can point it out in nearly a heartbeat, though I'm a bit rusty now. Funny how us Pagan/Non-Christian types know more about the Bible than some Christian types. No offence intended to any Christian types here, who do know the Bible. I wouldn't if I weren't a Christian type at one time. :)

**Using the word type shows ambiguity, because there are so many religious "types" out there that I don't want to leave one out, or offend one. :)

Peace! :)

*goes off to find out what book of the bible the paul thing is in so i can squirrel it away for future reference*

[fuego.livejournal.com]

i'm pretty sure, but not 100% that it was paul....it might have been ringo....

Fire + Bible

[fervid-dryfire.livejournal.com]

You can use flames to allude to a great number of passages in the Bible. In fact here's an article I read recently that describes in pretty good detail about fire and its appearances in the Bible.

One of my personal favorites is Romans 12:20. >;->

LOL...no...that wasn't it

the particular example I was thinking of was one that for some reason, people in Lancaster ALWAYS asked if my flame necklace was supposed to symbolize. I'm pretty sure that it was Paul who was somewhere that he had to lay low, asked god for a sign that he could recognize the Christians, and the sign appeared in the form of a forked flame with 3 points above their heads.
