I seemed to have inherited the witchy ways from my great-uncle, as I've a tremendous interest in occult matters, and read tarot from about age 16 to maybe my early 30s. One of my dad's sisters was telling my dad about some weird dream, years ago, and my dad told her to talk to me about it, as I supposedly knew all about this stuff. (Just call me Joseph.)<br /><br />Meanwhile, I've been living under the Evil Eye for nearly 42 years. I need some spiritual cleansing, yo!!! :-)Mina Lobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173895884776280826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679351593858166308.post-38279727100831668832012-12-08T01:33:53.300-05:002012-12-08T01:33:53.300-05:00You were a very cute baby and this is an awesome s...You were a very cute baby and this is an awesome story.

My great-grandma, who was full-blooded Cherokee, was considered a "witch" by folks in the area, so I identified with your Tio Nuno. My mom remembered her as a witch, too, but I imagine it boiled down to her using herbal remedies and following her spiritual beliefs. <br /><br />Shannon at <a href="http://thewarriormuse.blogspot.com/2012/12/and-you-are-baby-faces-blog-hops.html" rel="nofollow">The Warrior Muse</a>Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679351593858166308.post-14756557506794530172012-12-03T18:19:40.509-05:002012-12-03T18:19:40.509-05:00Oh, c'mon, it doesn't have to be ceramic!Oh, c'mon, it doesn't have to be ceramic!Mina Lobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173895884776280826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679351593858166308.post-58685263017884373462012-12-03T18:16:38.951-05:002012-12-03T18:16:38.951-05:00LOL you guys!!!!
