Paint some nostrils on the bottom of the nose in a darker colour. You may decide to punch some real holes out in the nostril area to make breathing easier. Allow paint to dry. Many modern-day witches still perform witchcraft, but there’s seldom anything sinister about it. Their spells and incantations are often derived from their Book of Shadows, a 20th-century collection of wisdom and witchcraft, and can be compared to the act of prayer in other religions. A modern-day witchcraft potion is more likely to be an herbal remedy for the flu instead of a hex to harm someone. Many witches are healers and were healers in their past lives, healing with energy, herbs, by faith, etc. If you have healing abilities, you probably have the healer’s mark on one or both of your palms. The healer’s mark is a series of three or more vertical lines directly under the pinky finger on the palm. Clairvoyant and Psychic Palm Signs A proud Welshwoman (by way of Mumbai, judging by her accent) who lived in a kettle, Fenella was the baddie of Wheelie World. Like the Wheelies themselves, Fenella’s method of getting about—appearing and disappearing out of the ground—was a workaround by creators Cosgrove Hall, to save them having to do labor-intensive animated walk cycles. It all adds to Fenella’s sense of chaos. Quite genuinely scary, her permanent rage at anybody having fun or being happy makes her one of the most stressful characters to appear on children’s TV.

But this one was somehow different, colder and longer lasting than any in memory. Driven mad by such conditions, witchcraft was blamed. The scapegoat, a local woman by the name of Moll Dyer. A beautiful young healer, she had long been part of the community.

Book of Shadows In the mid 17 hundreds there was a Brazilian woman called Ursulina de Jesus. Virtually nothing about her is known, but according to surviving court documents she was a witch. On finding out her husband was having an affair, she put a curse of him, causing him to go sterile. Now forever unable to have children, he turned her into authorities. In the blink of an eye she was found guilty and sentenced to death, burned in public like so many others accused of being real witches. She might be the only woman in history ever executed for the crime of “Removing a man’s virility”. 2: Old Demdike A broken heart (and the corruption of evil Queen Metaria) turned Earth sorceress Beryl from Sailor Moon into the leader of the Dark Kingdom, determined to rule the world via the Silver Crystal, with a reincarnated Prince Enymion at her side, and some truly fabulous hair on her head.
