Am I a witch?

I was driving along yesterday in heavy traffic. We were proceeding slowly in an orderly queue when someone came whizzing up on the outside lane (meant for turning right) and then forced his way in front of me.

I was left impotently fuming but remarked (jokingly) to DH that I would put a curse on the driver, nothing too extreme.

Right at that point the hub cap on the offending driver's car started wobbling and came off, spinning spectacularly across the road to collide with another car. The driver was oblivious and drove on.

Now I'm wondering whether I have witchy powers. Maybe it's part of being a crone grin

I still feel delighted by the incident.

If only we could get rid of some people like that all the time KatyK. I admit to saying "Mother Mary, full of Grace, please find me a parking space," to help me find a place to park my car. It seems to work... tchsmile I have to also admit tchblush telling my GDs to say when walking to school and it starts to rain, "rain, rain, go away, come back another day." The times they have said it, the rain has stopped and now they believe it works. They also believe Mother Mary will find us a parking space. tchwink

Faye - your Mother Mary words have brought back memories of my Catholic (now lapsed) upbringing. She didn't help me much then but I might giver her another chance tchsmile

It suddenly occurrs to me that Blackie, the feral cat I mentioned on a different thread, who has been persistently hanging around my house, might be looking for employment as a familiar. He's got that look about him.

I tried very hard to make someone go away (not to harm him, just to send him on his way) but it hasn't worked yet. Perhaps I need some of you to send some vibes. grin

My ex used to call me a witch but I think that was because he didn't like me rather than me having magical powers tchgrin

Faye Wed 10-Dec-14 11:36:08

Here you are rosequartz I hope it works tchgrin

Send ..put his name here.. on his way
Don't let him bother me for another day
Hurry him along, let it be fast
Memories of him will now be in my past

Thank you Faye, I will try it.

The trouble is, someone who is very dear to me loves him .......
Could I be so cruel?

My dearest friend is definately 'fey' I had my bag snatched a few years ago, he was in Africa at the time, at 2.00am the phone rang with him screaming down the phone 'whats wrong, whats happened' he had paced for 6 hours until the local phone shop had opened to call me.
He also sent me to the doctor once and we discovered I had suffered 5 mini strokes, even I hadn't noticed.
Nice but a bit creepy too.

Thanks for the verse Faye, I have someone I would like to go away so I will use it tchsmile I don't mean in a harmful way obviously, just out of my way.

Faye Wed 10-Dec-14 20:28:30

As a thank you, I will find you a nice cat, Faye - in fact one of several that come into our garden to terrorise the birds and poo in my borders grin. Or all of them.

@Ana. It has always worked for me. Pins with different coloured tops are helpful. I generally act on others behalf.
