He Knows Me So Well

[gness]

Included in my gifts from Dave today were three Pagan charms. One was a Hag Stone. It will protect me from snakes. I have a phobia of snakes. I was thrilled.

Dave said it works really well in Ireland.

Then the penny dropped. :-)

Knowing you someone who has pet snakes will move into the village.

Gness, there were some very good Irish curses listed in the paper today. Try this one ........................

Go bhfása meigeall ar do thóin

[Buenchico]

That's just typical of Dave though, isn't it?

He buys you something to wear and then you find that it's got a hole in it ;-)

[gness]

Like MrsO, Wolf, I have friends in low places. The snake owner would soon be gone.

Brilliant, MrBuilder. A huge lump! Unless it's the donkey of course.....nobody wants a lumpy donkey.....:-))

[rowanwitch]

Tell him you will use it on him as a cock ring That should deal with any snake activity!

[gness]

Ah but they are unique holes, Chris. Made by water to create the magic. :-)

[gness]

I daren't do that, Rowan. It's a very small hole. x

[rowanwitch]

Stretch it hard enough and pull harder!

[The Builder]

I don't want to take over, but I just want to give you one more.
This is my favourite.
Very Irish............

Go gcrochfar thú ar lá gaofar

[gness]

No problem with that should I want to use it, MrBuilder. No shortage of windy days by the sea in Kerry. :-)

[sunny-dave]

You should be very well hung, Mr Builder .... ;-)

[The Builder]

Haha.......... Your lessons must be going well Dave :o)

[gness]

It's getting dark. I shall go and sit under our Fairy Tree and peep through the hole in my Hag Stone. I'll be able to see into the Kingdom of the Fae.

[wolf63]

Do you have devil hounds in Ireland? Chihuahuas, Yorkies and JRs? They are all a menace to society.

[gness]

I'll investigate my Hag Stone, Wolf and see what I can do.

Sligo...a place I love. A wild, glaciated land that grips the imagination. Yeats.

[Hopkirk]

Do you have snakes in Ireland?

[gness]

No, Hoppy. That's why Dave was so amused at my joy at having something to protect me from them. :-(

[Hopkirk]

He's not just a pretty face

[gness]

Pretty? Well I guess without the beard. ;-)
