Magic

                 Do you believe in magic?




I truly believe in magical happenings and the supernatural. I also think everything happens for a reason and that certain things give us good luck and bad luck. Here is a short list of good and bad omens.


BAD OMENS : 


Black Cats - Black cats have been believed to be a supernatural omen since the witch hunts. They are believed to be connected to evil, it is considered bad luck if a black cat crosses your path.


Broken Mirrors - It is said that you will receive seven years bad luck if you brake a mirror.


Ladders - It is bad luck to walk underneath a ladder, this is because criminals used to be hung  from the top of ladders and their spirits were said to linger underneath.


Owls - An owl looking in your window, or seeing an owl in daylight is said to bring bad luck and death.


Sparrows - They are thought to carry the souls of the dead, it is bad luck to kill one.


Unlucky Number 13 - This is a commonly know unlucky number, most buildings avoid having a 13th floor.


Brooms - If a broom falls in your home unwelcome company will visit.


Dog Howling - A dog howling foretells the death of someone nearby.


Moon - It is bad luck to point at the moon at anytime.


13---------------------------------------------------13--------------------------------------------------13


GOOD OMENS :


Horseshoes - to find one and to hang them on your door is good luck.


Four Leaf Clover - Clover is said to ward off evil and to find a four leaf clover is very lucky.


Rabbits foot - A rabbits foot worn on a chain around your neck or kept in your left back pocket is said to ward off bad luck and bring good luck. The older the foot gets the more luck it brings.


Shooting stars - To see one you shall make a wish, you must not tell a soul what you wished for or it will not come true.


Garlic - To be worn around the neck is said to worn off vampires


Money - To find money on the floor is good luck.


*------------------------------------------------------*-----------------------------------------------------*


MYTHS :


If the flame of a candle flickers then turns blue, there is a spirit in the room.


If a bird flies through your home it indicates the bringing of important news, if it can't get out the news will be death.


A person born on Halloween will have the ability to communicate with the dead.


If a person experiences great horror their hair will turn white.



Of course all these things are a matter of opinion, however for those who do choose to believe in magic, for them people it is real.
For a long time i haven't felt like everything is as it seems, i believe there is so much more than what the eye sees. 
I suppose my biggest magical belief is fate;  we are all on our separate paths those people that touch our lives and then leave will have left for a reason, those who stay will stay for a reason. 
I don't agree with holding onto the negative things, it's much easier to let go off the badness that life brings us and move forward.
Recently i have been really worried about where my life will go and if i will loose the good things i have now, but nothing is ever lost it's just replaced.
If you love something with more love than anything else you will never leave it.


                                       "Science only goes so far and then comes God."


Now i don't personally believe in god and do not follow a religion. Though i would like to say people believe in God so they have something to rely on, somewhere to turn to when things go bad or when they are feeling guilty, they also see God as the reason good things happen. 


For me i'd like to think there are guardian angles looking over us and helping us through our lives.


Others may choose to believe it is a family member that has passed away, watching over them.


Whatever your belief is, if it works for you, then it is right.



Finally!

I once wished upon a star and that wish did come true, so i am waiting for another to come my way.
I believe finding pennies and seeing FedEx vans bring good luck.
I once thought i had seen a werewolf but nobody believes me.
I also made myself a little bag of luck that i keep with me when i could do with some good luck

:)


A brilliant film to watch if you are feeling magical.

I Love Food



I am a huge fan of food! Not a certain type of food but all sorts of food, i believe in being able to enjoy and appreciate a good meal. I do think everyone should balance their diet and not load up on junk food, but i am really against these crazy diets and over exercising. For me if i want a burger, i will eat a burger. If i fancy a bag of sweets i will eat a bag of sweets.
And because i have been ill this week my food has been limited, therefore i am posting all my favourite foods, foods i dislike and foods i eat way too much of.




Firstly hot dogs, i would load up on hot dogs if i had the choice. I love them covered in ketchup and mustard. 




Buns and cakes, i love to bake myself though i never follow reciepes, There is nothing better than a sugary bun after some greasy junk food. Most people would agree, anything with cream will do nicely too.




I am obsessed with sweets. I live in a village that has a few shops and any spare money i have in my purse is sure to go on some sweets. We have a bakery that does 50p bags and i go 
crazy for them.




 Chinese food! Nearly everyone i know loves Chinese, i recently went to a Chinese buffet and it was insane. My favourite dish is sweet and sour chicken balls with rice. I like the fortune cookies too.





Italian Food! I am a sucker for a good chicken pizza, pasta with homemade garlic bread and some mozzarella sticks with spicy tomato sauce.




Finally, Mexican Food! Enchiladas, Fajitas or anything related. I wasn't a big fan of these types of foods but as i grew older and tried them i found just how nice they are.


NOW FOR THE FOODS I REALLY WOULD NEVER EAT.




EGGS! I hate them, when i was younger it took me several hours to finish an egg. I used to think people were evil if they made me them for tea.




TOMATOES! These are far too juicy and watery for me.


OLIVES! I accidentally ate an olive once and straight up hated it, then i ate another so i could win £1. It wasn't worth it.


Ending this post with, one thing i could eat all day and all night long. 




Cereal! The best ones are. Coco Pops, shredded wheat, cheerios, golden nuggets. I'd eat any cereal really :)

My Dreams.

I believe one of the bests things about life is looking forward to your future because it is unpredictable, which can either be scary or exciting. Of course our hopes and wishes change whilst we are growing apart from the few that constantly stick with us, here is a list of my dreams, wishes and ambitions.

Buy a camper van and go on a road trip by myself. I would want to go by myself so then i could do exactly what i wanted to do and go to the places i really wanted to go. Whenever i think about this particular dream i imagine taking a few notepads and writing short stories based on wherever i find myself.


Find a woods which i have never been in before and walk for hours. I prefer to walk when i know i wont bump into anybody.


I am really not a fan of pets, but i'd love to own an owl called Monster.


Visit somewhere that looks like this.


Bake a gingerbread house like this one at christmas.



Become a successful published author.


Get a load more tattoos.



                                                    
        This world is a wonderful place
                    6 most important things to me.

  •  Captain Jack Sparrow! This fictional character is my lobster, the Pirates of the Caribbean films are my favourite films ever. Even though i never watch them due to the fact i get obsessed when i do. I like Jack Sparrow so much i got the same tattoo as him.
  • Lady GaGa! The most inspirational women, i love her music and everything about her. One day i will see her live.
  • FedEx and Lucky Pennies! If you believe in bad and good luck then it exsists, for me finding pennies on the floor and seeing FedEx vans bring me luck.
  • Writing! Since i was little i have wanted to be a writer, i am constantly writing stories and will hopefully be studying creative writing next year.
  • Keeping things that matter! I have a number of shoe boxes and a huge chest filled with memories from schools and my past, i see saving your memories as very important so when you're older you can look back. A few years ago i also started writing myself a letter each year updating what i had done. 
  • Hoping that life will get better! I have seen people get stuck in negativity when life isn't going as planned, i am always thinking ahead and remembering that one day you will live life exactly how you want to.

My Very First Post.
