Witch's Spell

Last weekend myself and a few others headed to the Oxfordshire village of Little Tew for a Cotswold caper.

We walked round Chastleton House - a Jacobean mansion.   This place was also popular with this charming Neo-Nazi family all dressed in black - the father had this really cute SS belt buckle on.   There were terrifying and aggressive but you can't fault their cultural taste; their idea of a Saturday afternoon jaunt is right up meine strasse.  Neo-nazis and I don't agree on many things but I think we may have just about found something in common here.  Which is great.

After this we headed to the Rollright Stones, a neolithic stone circle a few miles away. In the centre of the stones a fireplace and evidence of offerings and sacrifice piqued our interest and we happened upon a fold of paper stuck in a nook in one of the stones.   Here is a snap of us on the stones.

 When we tentatively unravelled it we found it was covered in drops of dried blood and some herbs.  The blood and herbs were the trimmings of what can only (and realistically) be understood as a pagan's spell.

Spell reads - and after some research understand this to be a 3by3 spell (apparently).

Let's not forget - it was covered in drops of real blood and sprinkled with magic herbs (mistletoe/rosemary {presumably}).  I'm 99% certain that this is  exactly the sort of behavior that gets you sectioned, or worse.  I can safely add that it would really rattle my cage to know that someone was creeping around, letting blood, sprinkling magic and hiding spells in preshistoric stones so that I would appear at midnight; if I did magically appear, I'd really wish I hadn't.

We are all reasonably worried for Matt and Dan.  Dan found the note and therefore presumably broke the current spell which means terrible will happen.  Likewise, a gust of wind blew the magic herbs up and all over Matt - again - this doesn't bode well.    I wish them both luck.
