I SURVIVED WITCHING HOUR
I SURVIVED WITCHING HOUR Now time has passed, I can now tell you about my experiences of witching hour. Many years ago and in a different city, my lodger always turned into a witch after midnight. Late at night she would often ask me for a walk along the seafront. I enjoyed these walks even though I was subject to her merciless teasing about my body, personality, intelligence, behaviour and my very existence. It was very funny! For some reason I enjoy people taking the piss out of me; I take it as a compliment in that they can bothered to insult me! In 1484 Pope Innocent VIII - what a contradictory title! - appointed witch-hunters to quash the spread of witchcraft in Germany. This led to the spread of witch-hunters being appointed throughout Europe and latterly America - 19 'witches' were executed in New England following the Salem witch trials in the late seventeenth century. Any woman accused of being a witch was invariably executed. If the woman confessed, she was a witch; and if she didn’t confess, she was tortured until she confessed to being a witch! Catch-22! In mid-seventeenth century, Matthew Hopkins was the self-styled Witchfinder General in England. Witchfinders were paid for every 'witch' they found which no doubt explains why they found a lot! In Newcastle, one Scottish witchfinder was paid 20 shillings for each 'witch' hanged; this is partly why one of the stands of Newcastle United’s football ground is called the Gallowgate End. Matthew Hopkins wrote a pamphlet, The Discovery of Witches, in which he claimed he could identify a witch without torturing a confession out of her - see the image below. His methods of witchfinding didn’t seem torture-free to me. Women accused of being witches were often dunked in water - if they drowned, they weren’t witches; and if they didn’t drown, they were witches. Catch-22 again! There's a point - well, I think there may be at least three points - to this historical post. First, the lengths men have gone to control women are incredible, incredibly bad. Second, torture doesn’t work - no information gleaned from torture can be regarded as reliable. Third, never let profit-driven private companies provide public services because they have a financial incentive to exacerbate the problems they're supposed to solve in the pursuit of profit. How much do you like being teased? Do you believe in the witching hour? Do you think we can learn from studying history? Henry Ford once said "history is more or less bunk". Though he (and let's not forget his workers) could make a great car for the masses, Henry Ford was wrong about history. Though disputed, history is a mirror through which we can have a close look at ourselves. History makes us more aware of ourselves. |

Third, never let the profit-driven private sector provide public services because they have a financial incentive to exacerbate the problems to increase their profits. All very true. How much do you like being teased? It depends on if it actually leads to something enjoyable. If not then it is just another form of lying. Do you think we can learn from studying history? Can we yes, do we more often times not. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

How much do you like being teased? Depends on who's doing the teasing! Do you believe in the witching hour? No. Do you think we can learn from studying history? Yes. But the problem seems to be in remembering what we learned when the time comes to prevent a repeat of history. Vive La Difference

I don't care much for being teased. .. I know. I'm such a party pooper. lol I'd say that there is as much to the witching hour as there is to the way people's behavior changes during a full moon. A lot can be learned from history, but its lessons must be headed. .. We don't go on witch hunts anymore. Or do we? Read my diary Journal of a Taxi Driver for taxi stories and pictures of flowers and trees.

"She turned me into a newt!!" There's such a fine line when it comes to teasing... you have to know exactly where it is in yourself and in others you might tease for it to be really effective and not just poking. I'm ambivalent for that reason. I'm a firm believer in the witching hour... but for me it's that ~3am time when you wake up for no reason other than your brain wants to run a bunch of really shitty scenarios by you. History... we can learn a lot from it. Or we can selectively ignore the parts that make us uncomfortable. I think even more in-depth history should be mandatory in schools. I'm in love with Annette's word "Abracadabrantesque"

How much do you like being teased? I think it depends on who's doing the teasing. My wife teases me and I tease back. It's fun! Do you believe in the witching hour? You know, I think I could be persuaded... Do you think we can learn from studying history? Of course, but you know, in the USA our history is being revised backward even as I sit here typing. New textbooks in some states are referring to Africans kidnapped to be sold here are slaves as "workers" instead of as slaves. So, you know, history is a subjective thing, and by re-labelling slaves as merely workers an attempt is being made to whitewash the violence of our past. It isn't subtle, and it's an act of violence to the truth. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I know a woman who can tease me and somehow make me feel good about myself. Unfortunately she's not the woman I married, but that's okay. I never have decoded the secret, but somehow teasing from the right person in the right relationship feels quite affirming. My featured post this week: Pulling Fantasy Sex Out of My Ass.

How much do you like being teased? Depends on who's doing the teasing. Do you believe in the witching hour? I keep an open mind. Do you think we can learn from studying history? Oh that's such a loaded question..... Can we learn? Absolutely! Do we learn? Very seldom. Most of the time we make the same mistakes.
