Novel & Cerita Itchy Ear Superstition

Dear Lord, he must really worry about bad morning breath if he slept clutching a bottle of breath spray. Big ego much? But then I noticed the other item hanging from his keychain and resting against the backs of his knuckles. He had an old, tattered and really cheesy rabbit’s foot. It reminded me of my grandma Cicely. She followed all kinds of hoodoo traditions like whipping up homemade powders for healing and luck, and using animals’ body parts to attain success and power. She still hung blue bottles from trees outside her house to trap evil spirits in. And she hadn’t let me go off to college without a Bible and protective amulet.

“Mother, it is enough, I am not possessed, how many times I will tell you that?” “It is for your own good, my son, please forgive me” They notice, the faith healer, get a whip, according to him, it is the tail of sting ray, believe, to cast away, any evil spirit, once you hit it, the person concerned. Another old belief based on superstition, many years have passed, in the olden days.

Or at least her ma would. Kate had known it probably wasn’t a good idea to tell them about Ecto. Her parents were low-tech to the point of being analog, and they were quite superstitious. Every Black Friday (the Holy Week day, not the sale) and sometimes all through Black Saturday, they would unfailingly remind Kate to avoid getting injuries, eating meat, sweeping the floor and taking a shower. They would collect rainwater on Easter Sunday believing it had healing properties, and hang blessed palm on the front door all year long to ward off evil and bad luck.

Some wanted them as a symbol or trophies, others expected them to serve as their pack's oracles which lead them to early graves because of the mentality of If I can’t have it, then no one will. The rumors say the silver ones had special abilities, that some had the powers to foresee events before they transpired, infinite wisdom if you will, or the power to heal with a single touch, it was even whispered that one had the Goddess's ear, the ability to speak to her and hear her. I call bullshit. I was born with silver hair and eyes like moonbeams and I have never had any such visions. It has only ever brought me pain and death, first when I was seventeen, I doubt it will be any different now

They are just stupid stories told to put kids to sleep so I never believed it but for some reason Lucian seems to believe a lot of those kinda stuff and he says I'm the gullible one? I think there's more of a sciencey explanation for our immortality. Genetics and D.N.A and shit like that. The moon goddess is part of the retrograde era where people believed in spells and the moon. I don't really believe that, that's why I'm not quite sure about Shiraya and the whole stuff. I'm only letting it happen because I don't have a choice, Lucian believes in that shit and also Rhea's life is on the line.

continued Erito also sighing in his relief. “They begin to suspect that we’ve got our telepathy ability…” said Eriwan slightly agitatedly. “No need to worry, Eriwan… As long as we don’t confess that we’ve indeed got a kind of telepathy ability, Dad and Mom won’t really know for sure. Nobody is really going to believe a kind of superstitious discussion like this,” said Erito in his convincing fashion. “Pierre, Rendy and friends really believe it…” replied Eriwan smiling gently and skeptically at the same time.

By the time I’d cried it all out, my water was cold, the bubbles were gone, and my fingers and toes were quite shriveled. I pulled the plug from the drain and lay in the claw foot enameled cocoon until all of the water had drained away. It was a throwback from my younger years when my great aunt Lily had insisted that I stayed in the tub until all of the darkness that the water washed from me had gone down the drain or it would follow me out of the bath. It seemed a silly superstition, but, then, so did vampires and werewolves at one time.

Cheryl blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion, “Grandpa, do you really believe in that kind of stuff? I haven’t heard of anything called the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell.” However, she still listed out the acupuncture points he had poked. James’s expression turned serious as he listened to her. In the end, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “The Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell, it really is the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell! It’s the legendary reviving method! Cherry, quick, contact the guy. Grandpa would like to meet this young man.” “Huh…?” Cheryl’s mouth was wide open as she stared at her grandfather in disbelief.

The caretaker stopped scrubbing Violet's back, then she placed the washcloth on Violet's leff shoulder before leaving through the curtains. Violet sighed and continued scrubbing her back while listening to the conversation between the madam and Piggy. “This is clay soil, ma'am, you might not know this but clay soil is effective in tackling itch on skin, it also improves skin colour.” ”Are you sure this isn't a trick to—” “—I would never hurt Violet! She's my..” Piggy sighed, “This is a folk remedy only few know but it works! And besides, Violet would kill me if I gave her a wrong prescription.”

I murmured, my thoughts spiraling, “…wasn’t impossible after all.” Or maybe it was impossible once, but time had worn it down. Maybe the seal had weakened slowly, quietly, until it finally gave way. I shook my head sharply. “Stop,” I muttered to myself. “You’re getting ahead of yourself.” I leaned back against the couch, staring up at the ceiling. This was all coming from a random site on the internet. Old legends. Forgotten stories. Half-written records. For all I knew, it could be exaggerated nonsense passed down through generations and twisted into something dramatic.
