Things That Could Have Got You Accused of Witchcraft in the 1600s...
Being an herbalist or a midwife or a practicer of any form of medicine or a scientist, especially if yu were an astronomer >>> owning a cat, especially a black one >>> talking to yourself >>> being too beautiful >>> being too good at something or too smart or simply too different >>> being old or ugly or even a twin or disabled, especially if you were a woman ...
A Woman Rescued a Crow From a Storm Drain...
“When we are aware of what is happening around us, there is so much potential to come together, and beautiful things can happen,” the woman said. >>>
With the help of nearby firefighters, a woman rescued a crow after noticing that it was stuck in a rain gutter
After being taken to a rehabilitation center, the crow recovered enough to be released back into the wild
The crow's rescuer noticed that her neighborhood crows started dropping what seemed to be "thank you gifts" at her feet after the bird's rescue
A woman rescued a crow after noticing it was stuck in a gutter, and says she's been receiving "thank you gifts" from the bird and its friends...
Leah Wilson of British Columbia, Canada, recalled the event to CTV News. Wilson said that she recently noticed dozens of crows "dive-bombing" and "circling" one of the houses in her neighborhood, which led her to discover one of the dark-colored birds stuck in the rain gutter on a roof that was too high to reach with a standard-length ladder.
"I was really distressed," she recalled to the outlet, "and I knew I had to do something about it."
Luckily, Wilson noticed a fire truck parked a few blocks away and decided to recruit the friendly firefighters for a quick rescue mission.
"I was like, 'Hey! You look like you want to save a crow today,'" she said. "The firefighters were so gracious and wonderful. My heart was so full."
In a video from the rescue mission obtained by CTV News, two firefighters use a large silver ladder to hoist themselves up onto the roof and bring the bird to safety. Following the rescue, Wilson transported the bird to an animal rehabilitation center for further evaluation.
"He latched on to my finger and held on," she recalled of the crow. "That was life-changing."
The facility later informed Wilson that the injured bird had recovered enough from its minor injuries to be released back into the wild.
The woman said that after the crow was released, she received a "thank-you gift" from the neighborhood bird or one of its crow friends. Wilson noted that the gift arrived when a crow "flew down and dropped this beautiful, feathered bundle" at her feet as she was walking with her dog.
Since then, Wilson said, crows have been dropping various items at her feet in similar ways and have been more present and friendly during her daily walks.
"I grew up with understanding the importance of having a relationship with the natural world," Wilson emphasized to the outlet. "It feels so good. It's like visiting my friends every morning and knowing they're going to be there."
"When we are aware of what is happening around us, there is so much potential to come together, and beautiful things can happen," Wilson shared, adding that seeing the crow she rescued is always a highlight of her day.
According to Wilson, she recognizes the bird by a small metal band attached to its leg by the rehabilitation center that cared for it.
Crows are highly intelligent creatures that have been observed using tools, recognizing human faces, and leaving objects behind for people who feed them, per the National Audubon Society.

Part of My Captain Will Burton Pirate Adventures...
"The Pirate and the Merqueen" >>>
Off the coast of Jamaica, 1678…
Kelrillia, the stunningly beautiful high queen of the merpeople, ran her tongue around her lips as she smiled. Her teeth were small and had the true iridescence of pearls, each one very pointed. “Careful your wee choppers dinna cut that pretty pink ribbon,” Will Burton whispered, one corner of his mouth going up.
He passed her a big goblet of Madiera, wary of Kelrillia’s silvery blue claws which were showing a bit from their sheaths. “And, here, have some mussels drizzled with lime butter, scallops poached in white wine and this rice cooked in the ink of baby squids. Mister Clary made these delights special, as I asked him, just for you.” He winked. “They be all the most delicious o’ aphrodisiac foods, me gorgeous sea sirena.”
Kelrillia pouted her lips. Then, she swiftly quaffed the wine. Her kelp green eyes snapped with anger. She leaned forward like a female moray eel sticking her nose out of her coral nitch, looking as if she was going to bite. The queen of all the merpeople was very formidable, as big as Will.
Will moved back a bit. “Mayhap, a bit o’ this sweet, but also most pleasantly tart blood orange?” He passed her a crystal dish containing wedges of bright salmon colored fruit.
“No! No! NO! I don’t want any!”
“You be most testy tonight, me magnificent queen.”
“Will, I’m very upset!” Her long dark green eyes flashed seductively. She wound a spiral of her vivid red hair around her forefinger.
“You have never change, your Splendidness!,” Will remarked.
Kerillia raised her arm, twirling it rapidly. Thunder claps sounded over the dark waves and lightning split the night sky. “Give me back my necklace, you miserable thief!”
Will’s dark gray eyes were sad and soft. “I lost it, to me great, great shame.”
“What? How dare you be so careless! That was an heirloom of my family, eons old, made with the rarest pink and black pearls, aquamarines and emeralds!”
Accidents happen all the time, me lovely, even to the most meticulous o’ pirates..”
Kerillia scowled and more thunder threatened, followed by fiercely rolling clouds. She tossed her head. “I don’t believe you lost it! Still… There are other necklaces…”
“Oh?…”
“Yes, wonderful necklaces, bewitched by my uncle Manannan.”
“Bewitched?”
Kelrillia laughed. “I know a little magic has never stopped you!”
“Where are they?”
Kelrillia smirked. “Your greed is showing, my beautiful rogue! They’re Hidden in the sea, where you’ll never find them! Of course, my maids make other pieces of jewelry which we sell to mortals, tinkley necklaces and bracelets of little value, but they are rather pretty and get us coins we can use when we grow legs ashore…”
More thunder. Will looked up at the charging black clouds edged with brightness. “Mayhap, we should go to me cabin rather than sitting here on deck.”
“No, no, any walls make me very uncomfortable. You know that!”
“Aye, I knows, but a storm at sea makes any sailor uncomfortable, too... I came to you loyally when I heared the dolphins singing! I knew you wanted to visit me and I knew I could nay refuse.”
Kelrillia crossed her legs, smirking. “Excellent. I’m so glad I taught you the dolphin’s language of melody, Will.”
“The language of the sea turtles been harder to learn.”
“That ridiculous clicking and clacking! But, you have a most marvelous gift for tongues, my thrilling and devilishly handsome pirate!”
Will made a half bow. “It dinna bothers me to admit you scares me mightily, your Majesty.”
Kelrillia laughed, full throated and joyously. “I adore your respect! Most humans consider mermaids to be only lissome fishy whores!”
“Verra, verra foolish o’ them!”
Kelrillia giggled. “Yes, they find out differently if they have any dealings with us!”
“The females o’ the merfolk be some o’ the most powerful female sorceresses I ever comed across.”
“What? You dare to name us sorceresses?”
“Dinna deny it, me queen. ‘T is nay becoming!”
Kelrillia flirted her magnificent eyes again. “I let you get away with more crass speech than I have ever allowed another man! You can easily row us to the sand. Then, you will walk, carry me through the shallow water.”
“So you won’t get wet and start that bothersome painful business o’ growing a tail again?”
Kelrillia ran a finger around the edge of Will’s neck. Her claws emerged fully their sheaths as she raised her upper lip from her teeth. “The pink sand is as cool, soft and fine as face powder,” she purred. It was almost a growl.
“Nay possible. We be far from those blushing Bahamian beaches.”
“If I say the sand is pink it will be so, --- if only for tonight!” Kelrillia’s eyes snapped, dangerously. Then, she softened. “You are the most singularly spectacular man I’ve ever met, Will! I remember our nights together as we frolicked, the moonlight touching our bodies so gently, so lovingly!”
“Unforgettable times, me Splendor, positive unforgettable...” --- Copyright 2026, by Sorelle Sucere.

Mummys don't like cats!!!... :)
In The Mummy, the resurrected high priest Imhotep is terrified of cats because of ancient Egyptian beliefs. In real history, cats were sacred animals in Egypt — revered as protectors of the dead and even deified. The goddess Bastet, for example, was worshipped as a cat-headed deity. --- Movies & TV Stack Exchange.
In the film’s context, Imhotep, as an undead being, likely sees cats as guardians of the afterlife. This superstition mirrors how vampires in folklore are repelled by crosses — a symbol of holy protection. The cat becomes a symbolic “holy” object that Imhotep, being unholy and undead, instinctively fears. --- Movies & TV Stack Exchange.
The fear is also a narrative device. It’s a simple, memorable moment that contrasts Imhotep’s ancient, mystical nature with the modern, everyday world of Rick O’Connell and his cat. It also sets up a recurring gag: whenever Imhotep sees a cat, he flees, which becomes a running joke in the movie.

In The Cruel Past Witch Trials Were Seen As Lawful Proceedings... :(
In the past, accusations of witchcraft led to trials and executions, often targeting marginalized women. The Salem Witch Trials of 1692 are infamous examples of this hysteria. Today, laws protect against such persecution—a society's shift from superstition to justice grounded in evidence and reason.
The Tarot...
IS IT JUST A GAME???...
Tarot (/ˈtæroʊ/, first known as trionfi and later as tarocchi or tarocks) is a set of playing cards used in tarot games and in fortune-telling or divination. From at least the mid-15th century, the tarot was used to play trick-taking card games such as Tarocchini. From their Italian roots, tarot games spread to most of Europe, evolving into new forms including German Grosstarok and modern examples such as French Tarot and Austrian Königrufen.
Tarot is commonly found in many countries, especially in English- and Spanish-speaking countries where tarot games are not as widely played, in the form of specially designed cartomantic decks used primarily for tarot card reading, in which each card corresponds to an assigned archetype or interpretation for divination, fortune-telling or for other non-gaming uses.
The emergence of custom decks for use in divination via tarot card reading and cartomancy began after French occultists made elaborate, but unsubstantiated, claims about their history and meaning in the late 18th century. Thus, there are two distinct types of tarot packs in circulation: those used for card games and those used for divination. However, some older patterns, such as the Tarot de Marseille and the Swiss 1JJ Tarot, originally intended for playing card games, are also used for cartomancy.
Tarot has four suits that vary by region: French suits are used in western, central and eastern Europe, and Latin suits in southern Europe. Each suit has 14 cards: ten pip cards numbering from one (or Ace) to ten; and four face cards: King, Queen, Knight, and Jack/Knave/Page. In addition, the tarot also has a separate 21-card trump suit and a single card known as the Fool. Depending on the game, the Fool may act as the top trump or may be played to avoid following suit. These tarot cards are still used throughout much of Europe to play trick-taking card games. --- Wikpedia.
>>> The classic Rider-Waite Tarot is the best known Tarot deck. The vibrant cards, featuring full scenes with figures and symbols, were drawn in 1909 by Pamela Colman Smith under direction of Arthur Edward Waite

The Seashell Cottage in That Harry Potter Movie, "The Deathly Hallows"...
Shell Cottage: A Haven in the Wizarding World, a Gem in the Real World >>>
For fans of the Harry Potter series, Shell Cottage holds a special place in their hearts. It's the humble yet vital sanctuary where Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour reside, and more importantly, the safe house where Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the rescued captives from Malfoy Manor found refuge. But beyond the pages and the screen, where did this iconic and charming cottage actually get its filming location in the real world? For many, the magic of Hogwarts and its surrounding landscapes is enhanced by knowing the actual places that brought them to life.
...The Coastal Charm of Pembrokeshire, Wales >>>
Shell Cottage, as depicted in the films, particularly Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Part 2, was brought to life on the stunning coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales. The specific location used for exterior shots of the cottage and its surrounding environment was the beautiful and rugged landscape near **Saffron Walden**, Essex. However, for the iconic scenes featuring the cottage itself, the production team found their perfect spot in a truly picturesque setting.
...The Real-Life Shell Cottage Experience >>>
The actual filming for the exteriors of Shell Cottage took place at a property known as "Fagin's" in the village of St. Ishmaels, Pembrokeshire, Wales. This charming coastal village offered the ideal backdrop for the quaint and secluded dwelling that played such a crucial role in the latter part of Harry's journey. The natural beauty of the Pembrokeshire coast, with its dramatic cliffs, sandy coves, and windswept beaches, perfectly captured the essence of Shell Cottage's seaside location.
While the interior of the cottage seen in the films was largely a set built at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, the exterior shots of Bill and Fleur's home were undeniably rooted in the natural splendor of Wales. This choice of location provided a sense of authentic isolation and natural beauty that was essential for the narrative.
...Why Pembrokeshire? >>>
The decision to film in Pembrokeshire was likely driven by several factors:
Dramatic Coastal Scenery: The area boasts some of the most breathtaking coastline in the United Kingdom, offering a rugged and natural environment that suited the story's needs.
Sense of Seclusion: The relatively remote nature of some parts of Pembrokeshire provided the perfect atmosphere for a hidden refuge away from the prying eyes of Death Eaters.
Existing Charm: Many of the villages and coastal paths in Pembrokeshire possess an inherent charm and character that aligns with the visual aesthetic of the wizarding world. --- From "365".
Drawing Down the Moon...
Drawing down the Moon (also known as drawing down the Goddess) is a central ritual in many contemporary Wiccan traditions. During the ritual, a coven's High Priestess enters a trance and requests that the Goddess or Triple Goddess, symbolized by the Moon, enter her body and speak through her. The High Priestess may be aided by the High Priest, who invokes the spirit of the Goddess. During her trance, the Goddess is supposed to speak through the High Priestess.
The Sensuality of Roses...
Magickal properties of rose petals can assist you with finding a way to enhance your sensuality. Every person is different and every person needs a special method.

Do You Want To Make Friends With a Crow?...
Why Do Some People Want To Live With A Crow?...
Crows are intelligent creatures. They can live almost anywhere and help us out with all kinds of things. Also, they have a reputation for being aggressive and nuisance, but when it comes to feeding them, they can be very friendly.
There are many reasons why some people want to live with a crow... Some people believe that crows are intelligent and can empathize with humans.
Others believe that crows are good luck animals and can help bring good fortune into someone’s life.
Regardless of why someone wants to live with a crow, it is important to remember that crows are wild animals and should be treated as such.
Crows are needed for agricultural farms because they are excellent scavengers. They eat anything leftover, including dead animals, bird droppings, and plant material.
This helps to clean up the environment and reduce the amount of waste that is produced by the farm. >>>
5 Crucial Reasons To Feed Crows Near You...
Crows are some of the smartest and most intelligent birds in the world. They can solve complex problems, communicate with other crows, and use tools.
There are many benefits to feeding crows, including:
1. Crows are intelligent and social animals that rely on their friends and family to help them survive in the wild bird.
2. They can remember individual faces of last year. This ability makes them good ambassadors for human society.
3. In addition, they are natural scavengers, which means they can find food that other animals would miss.
4. Crows often cooperate to solve complex problems, such as finding a way to get food from one place to another.
5. By feeding crows, you are helping to promote positive relationships between humans and wildlife, which can benefit both groups in the long time run. >>>
How To Attract Crows At Home?...
There are a few things that you can do to attract crows at home.
First thing, make sure that your property is well-maintained and free of any debris or obstructions. This will help the crows feel safe and comfortable.
The second thing, try to create a feeding area for the crows. This could be in the form of a small clearing in your garden or somewhere close by where they can easily access food.
Finally, make sure to keep your property clean and bright so that the crows feel welcome and can find food easily. >>>
6 Helpful Tips For Befriending Crows...
If you love nature, and the noises it makes, there is a good chance that you are also a fan of crows. Intelligent birds have been associated with human life for millennia.
They assist in seed dispersal and provide food for many other species. But their intelligence is still largely misunderstood, which has led to some pretty weird behavior from them!
In this article, we will introduce 6 helpful tips on how to befriend these amazing creatures...
1. Be patient: Crows are very smart and will take time to warm up to you. Don’t try to force the issue or act aggressively towards them to make a connection. Give them time and space, and eventually, they will come around.
2. Talk to them: Crows are natural talkers, so it’s a great way to start building a relationship with them. You can learn about their lives, their families, and what makes them happy.
3. Feed them well: Crow food is high in protein and fiber which will help keep them healthy and strong. Make sure you give them something nutritious every day, even if it’s just a small amount of food.
4. Keep your distance at first: Crows may not be used to humans yet, so it’s important not to approach too closely or make sudden movements when you first meet them. Let them get used to your presence before trying anything more advanced (like petting).
5. Respect their space: Just like people need their privacy, crows also need theirs – don’t bother harassing or chasing them if they’re perched in a tree or on top of a building!
6. Be mindful of noise: Crows are very sensitive to loud noises which can make them feel stressed or anxious. If a crow goes quiet whenever you start moving around the yard, wait until they return to normal expression before resuming your gardening! >>>
7 Famous Snacks For Crows...
It’s a common phenomenon that crows are drawn to the same food, no matter where they are. This is not just a curiosity of this particular bird but also what has led it to become a cultural and religious symbol.
To make your crow experience more enjoyable and memorable, here’s a list of 7 famous snacks that can be used to attract them into your yard.
1. Popcorn
Popcorn is a favorite snack of crows because it is easy to get and they can store it for later. Crows will often raid a farmer’s corn crop or feeder in search of popcorn.
2. Crackers
Crows love to eat crackers, especially the salty variety. They will often scavenge food from people’s trash cans or steal food from their cars.
3. Nuts
Crows are avid nut eaters and will consume anything available, including almonds, walnuts, and pecans. They also like seeds such as sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds.
4. Seeds
Crows love to eat seeds, especially those that are high in protein such as hemp and chia seeds. They also like nuts, fruits, and vegetables.
5. Bread
Bread is another popular food item that crows enjoy eating. They will often raid bakeries or steal bread from homes or businesses.
6. Chocolate
Crows love chocolate because of the way that some people harness their fear to make food in a safe, open environment. Not only do they like chocolate as an overindulgent snack but also to use as bait – crows are known for stealing unshelled nuts when baited out with this delicacy!
7. Candy
Crows love candy and will often raid homes in search of it. It is usually highly placed, easy to reach, and takes little work to break open spaces.
7 Ideal Fruits For Crows
Crows have been known to be very smart birds, but have you ever wondered what they like to eat? Crows are omnivores, meaning that they will eat a variety of foods.
However, crows have a strong preference for fresh fruits.
Here is a list of 7 foods that make great sources of food for crows.
1. Apples
Apples are a favorite of crows because they are high in sugar and carbohydrates which provide energy for the birds. Apples also contain flavonoids, which help protect the birds from disease.
2. Grapes
Grapes are another favorite of crows because they contain a lot of antioxidants, which can help reduce the risk of cancer. The grapes also provide lots of fiber, which is important for keeping crows healthy and feeling full.
3. Pears
Pears are a great choice for crows because they are high in antioxidants and vitamins A and C, both of which play an important role in crow health. Pears also contain fiber, which helps keep crows feeling full after eating them.
4. Bananas
Bananas are a great source of potassium, which is essential for keeping crows healthy and functioning properly. Bananas also contain sugar, which is important for providing energy to the birds during cold weather months or when they’re working hard for hours at a time.
5. Oranges
Oranges are packed with vitamin C, which is essential for helping prevent infections in crows and other animals that eat them.
6. Strawberries
Strawberries are a great source of antioxidants, which can help protect crows from disease and injury. They also contain natural habitat sugar levels that make them an energy-rich food choice for crows.
7. Berries
Berries contain little sugar, but they are high in antioxidants. Antioxidants help protect crows from disease and keep them feeling comfortable. >>>
Do Crows Eat Peanuts Or Crushed Corn?...
Crows are omnivorous scavengers that feed on a variety of things, but they are especially fond of peanuts. Crows that have access to a lot of peanuts tend to be healthier and have more offspring than crows that don’t have access to peanuts.
The benefits of feeding crows peanuts include:
• It helps the crows learn how to find food in difficult environments.
• It helps the crows learn how to get along with other animals.
• It helps the crows build their social hierarchy.
The best type of peanut to crow feed will vary depending on the location and diet of the crows.
However, some types of peanuts that may be beneficial for feeding crows include:
• Peanuts with high oil content: These peanuts are typically healthier and contain more nutrients than other types of peanuts.
• roasted Peanuts: Roasted peanuts contain more antioxidants and are therefore healthier than raw peanuts.
• Peanuts that are shelled: Shelled peanuts have a higher protein content and are therefore better suited for crow diets that include more protein. >>>
How To Make Own Homemade Treats For Crows?...
Making your own treats for crows is a fun and easy way to get them to come to your yard more often. All you need are some simple ingredients and some time.
To make the treats, start by boiling water in a pot. Once the water reaches a boil, add 1 cup of green tea leaves and let it steep for about 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, remove the tea leaves and pour the hot water into a bowl or jar. You can store the tea treat mixture in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months. (June- August)
When you’re ready to give your treats away, simply pour some of the tea treat mixtures into small containers and put them out where crows frequent (near trees or other high-traffic areas). --- from "Advice for Crows".

Crows Have Family too...
🖤 In a world that keeps growing louder, colder, and more crowded… some lives are silently disappearing before our eyes.
These crows are not symbols of darkness — they are symbols of survival.
They wake up hungry.
They search for shelter in storms.
They protect their babies.
They fight every single day just to stay alive in a world humans continue to change and destroy.
Every year, trees vanish. Natural habitats disappear. Cities expand. Seasons become harsher. And countless birds and animals are left with nowhere to go. Yet they continue surviving beside us… silently.
A little kindness can mean everything.
A bowl of water during summer.
Some food during winter.
A safe tree left standing.
A moment of compassion instead of fear.
Because they feel pain.
They feel hunger.
They feel loss.
And yes… they also have families waiting for them to return home.
Let humanity be remembered not only for building cities — but for protecting the creatures that once shared this planet peacefully with us.
🕊️ Be kind to birds.
🖤 Be kind to crows.
🌍 Be kind to all living beings. --- Crow Community.

"Darkling, I listen..."
John Keats (31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English poet of the second generation of Romantic poets, along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. His poems had been in publication for less than four years when he died of tuberculosis at the age of 25. They were indifferently received in his lifetime, but his fame grew rapidly after his death. By the end of the century, he was placed in the canon of English literature, strongly influencing many writers of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood; the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1888 described his "Ode to a Nightingale" as "one of the final masterpieces".
