Changelings~

Changelings-

Mother trying to retrieve her baby
from the Changelings 

She never had so sweet a changeling;
And jealous Oberon would have the child
knight of his train, to trace the forest wild;
But she perforce witholds the loved boy,
Crowns him with flowers and makes him 
all her joy;
William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream



For today's post I'm going to bring you through the tale and legend of the Changelings...

Changeling Infant

It seems that the tale of the Changelings started in Europe, Ireland and I think Scotland too? And from what I understand from the legend of the Changeling is that 'You should never! leave your newborn baby alone even for a instant.' From what I have learn of the legend of the Changeling is, if an mother of any part of the world turns their back on their new born sleeping in their cribs, for just a few seconds they will not find their precious baby in the crib, but a different baby much different and sometimes sickly and ugly too. They could also be misshaped and often even elderly looking too - 'Fairy Child - Changelings'. There are other accounts when the human mothers find these fairy baby's dead in their cribs; badly shaped log or even a block of white/brown or black wax with a baby blanket on it.
While all this is happening, the tiny mortal baby has been spirited away by the Faeries, Elves, Trolls & other underground Fae creatures. Of course there is the most notorious of all child abductors and that would be, Titania Queen of the Fairies. The risk of an changeling coming into your home are particularly strong during the first three days of your baby's life. [This is when a human infant must be watched day & night 24-7hours a day]. And to a lesser degree for the first six weeks of the human baby's life. It is said that the human infant isn't safe at all until it is baptized or the church baptism. Another way to protect your infant is you must always have a burning light/candle near them, even in broad daylight. Why? because the underground Fae creatures are afraid of the light!

Human Mother with her Changeling infant

There are other tales of Changelings that I found ~ A bit on the grisly side than the others I though in my opinion. In Germany the changelings are quite sickly, wizened, they are commonly known to have shrunken legs and a abnormally large head for a baby. Plus these changeling Fae baby's will never gain the power of speech or displaying frighting precocious language skills. There's more! The changeling baby will also howl incessantly and feed ravenously; meaning these Fae babies will suckle so greedily says one tale that they will
empty the human mother of breast milk and move onto the nurse maids - up to five to satisfy the changeling hunger. A Scottish tale is a bit more grisly. In Scotland a changeling if hungry for the human mother's milk it would bite and tare the human mothers breast so insatiable for its hunger that the mother would bleed from its suckling so hard. It seems that these Fairy Changelings would in turn make most of their human mothers bleed at every feeding and after most would howl inhumanly day and nightly, so these changelings were a threat to the entree human family and their existence too. Another interesting note about these infant changelings is that they never grow-up! So Changeling the baby of the Fae interesting! Well now I thought I would put my opinion on this legend... I am sure that 110% of the legend is true, but I can't believe that all the baby infants of the Fae, meaning the fairies,Elves,Pixes, dwarfs, and all the different races of the elves and faeries too would have these grisly 'Fairy Infants' that they would give-up for a Human Infant! I could see this in the trolls, and other unearthly creatures that live in the darkest deepest caves but then again not all still would give up their Fae Baby's. Like the Drows and the Dark Elves! They too are a very proud race of Elves. So of course there were some that did steal human baby's for their own and then put their changeling Fae baby's in return. But in my opinion it wasn't always the case.

Bridget Cleary & Michael Cheary 

I did find a case that was documented that you might find interesting. On the bottom of these post is the two links too the storeys that I found...
The Story that I found was about an Irish woman by the name of Bridget Cleary.  Briefly the tale of Bridget was about a young Irish woman that was killed by her husband for peculiar reasons. The motive of her husband was, he believed that his wife had been abducted by faeries and left a changeling fae in her place. He had claimed to have killed only the changeling not his wife. It stated that Bridget was burned to death alive. Bridget was born around the year 1870 in Ballyvadlea in Ireland. She had married Michael Cheary in August of 1887 and  the couple had met in a small town of Ireland called Clonmel in August of 1887 where he had worked as a cooper and she served as a dressmakers apprentice.  After the two love birds married, she had returned to her hometown of Ballyvadlea to live with her parents, while Micheal continued to work as a cooper in the town of Clonmel Ireland. Note it didn't really say why they lived apart in their first part of their marriage, but maybe that's how they did things in those days? Anyways, during those days apart, Bridget became more independent by keeping her own flock of chickens and even selling eggs to her neighbours for a little income. Of course this was somewhat unusual for that era and the location in Ireland, being a professional woman. It seems that Bridget even obtained a sewing machine and was well known as a dressmaker and hat-maker too. The couple seemed to have been married eight years and had no children by the time of Bridget's grisly death. And it doesn't say how long they were apart in their marriage either too. It seemed that  the after most of the family members had died  no know wanted to live at the house where Bridget once had lived. Why? Well because it was on the site of a fairy ring of course. Do you want more to this tale? Well I have more..Bridget was reported missing in March of 1895. Appallingly she had been ill for several days, although her specific diagnosis was never discovered. It seems that here mysterious illness lasted for more than a week and than March 13, 1895 - a doctor came to call her at her home. It seems that Bridget condition was considered sufficiently worst, so bad that they had a priest stop by the next day to administer her last rites. Now this is very odd to me what could have made her so sick? So I guess several of her friends and her family came by to see Bridget over the next couple of days thinking it was her last days before she was before she would die. There were a few home remedies that were used hoping to safe her from dieing, but of course things got weird. Instead of being sad of the last rites from the priest and seeing their daughter and wife peacefully slip away into the divine heavenly way.. No didn't happen that way Bridget's father and her husband Michael accused her of being a Changeling sent to take over Bridget's body. Why? Well these were some of their reasons; She was in her very ill condition mind you! Carried before the fireplace to cast-out the Changeling and Urine was thrown on her. These were only two weird things that I could find that her FATHER & HUSBAND HAD DONE TO HERE IN HER VERY VERY ILL STATE OF MIND, SOUL AND SEEMS CLOSE TO DEATH.

Then on March 16, the small town in which she had lived was beginning to wonder what happened to Bridget even the local police began looking for her. Of course her husband still hold to his guns claiming that his wife was taken be the faeries, and he appeared to be vigil about his statement, but we all know what happen don't we. Because on March 22, Even with the witness statement that were gathered over the week before - Bridget Cleary's burnt copse was finally found in a shallow grave on March 22. And there were 9people evolved and charged in her death and disappearance; which included her husband Micheal. She had died a painful death by burning to death by the hands of nine NINE!!!PEOPLE... Well I have had about enough of this. I just can't believe that 10people would do such a thing... Don't people believe in the good faeries what is happening here? Anyway there it is if you want to read more the links are on the bottom of the page. I will be including some images of bothe the happy and not so happy legend of Changeling

I hope that you found this legend and storey intersting..

Poseidon God of the Mediterranean Sea

Poseidon God of the Mediterranean Sea-

Poseidon God
 of the Mediterranean Sea

 For my next post I am going bring you to the Mediterranean Sea, the home of the God Poseidon once was many Centuries ago. I hope that this next tale will interest you all my dears, Readers, Friends and Followers too. I have always be fascinated with Greek Mythology and the Family of the Olympians. So the God of the
Mediterraneans Sea. Why the Mediterranean sea? Well because that was pretty much the major Sea at the time in Ancient Greece.
For a brief history on Poseidon God of the Sea/fluid elements, he is second son of Krono's and Rhea. His brothers are Zeus and Hades; and three sisters are Hera, Hestia and Demeter. For some stroke of luck Poseidon was predetermined that he should rule over all the oceans/sea's of the Earth. 

The Mighty Poseidon God

As probably most of you know the tale of his beginning of life  up with the Gods with his Mother Rhea and Father Kronos he was like his brothers Hades and Zeus. And we can't forget his sister either Hera, Hestia and Demeter were all swallowed after each of their births by their Father but as the tale goes their Older brother Zeus is saved by their mother Rhea and a few nurse maids in order to over throw their father in a matter of speaking. So they can rule the heaven over the humans. In which I wonder myself if they did a better job either with all the fighting and the Trojan war etc. Anyways Each of these children were raised I did discovered by someone other than their mother Rhea after they were thrown up again by their father Kronos in order to save each of the children. In the case of Poseidon - His mother decided to to conceal Poseidon among a flock of lambs & she also pretended to have given birth to a young horse which she gave to Kronos to devour. In the neighborhood of Mantineia is said to be where a nurse maid by the name of Arne, is who cared for Poseidon. So when Kronos came searching for his son, Arne the nurse maid declared that she knew not where Poseidon was and the town of Arne where Poseidon may have received his first name. There are others that have said that he was raised by the Telchines by the request of his mother Rhea, so one really doesn't know?

Poseidon and Aphrodite
as his companion on his
Chariot with horse on the sea

In some of the earliest poems that were written about Poseidon and Zeus relationship as bothers is seems that, they didn't get along at all! It seems in the poetry Poseidon is indeed equal to his brother Zeus in dignity but, his older brother Zeus still has the upper hand in strength. Hence this of course made many of arguments or haughty words as they would say in the ancient god like ways. It seems that they would go back and forth on who was more mightier or who should take the head of all The Gods. I found in one of my readings that Poseidon tried to conspired with his his sister Hera and Athena to put Zeus in chains, although there are other tales of Poseidon yielding and being submissive to his oldest brother Zeus. So now I thought I would tell you all about the life of Poseidon and his kingdom in the Sea. The Palace of Poseidon as they say was in the depths of the Sea near Aegae in Euboea where he kept his horses with brazen hoofs and golden manes. It was said that

Poseidon riding his Chariot
coming up from the depths of the Sea

Poseidon loved to ride his chariot over the the enormous sea waves, which will become smooth as glass when he approached any body of water. The monsters of the deep seemed to always recognise the God of the Seas and loved to play with him in his Chariot of Gold. Generally Poseidon would be alone on his horse's of chariot on the oceans seas, however there are times that he has a companion - Aphrodite. Most of the time Poseidon live and spends his time at his Palace in Euboea under the very depths of the all the oceans that he controls.However, he still appears when summoned or when he feels the need that something needs to be brought to the attention to the Gods/Goddess of Olympian, he will appear and will assemble with the gods/goddess. Besides being the ruler of the Seas/Oceans [the Mediterranean], Poseidon was described as the gather of all the clouds and could call forth all types of storms too. Which meant at the same time Poseidon had the Godly Power to grant humans or Gods successful voyage across the oceans and save those who are in danger; plus all other marine divinities that are subject to him. As in ancient times of the Gods/Goddess of Olympian,they said that the seas surrounds and holds the earth and Poseidon himself is the God that holds the earth who has it in his power to shake the earth within all the ocean if he choose too. There was also the time when Poseidon choose to use his powers of the sea to gather-up the thunder clouds and the storms of the sea towards Odysseus which prevented him from returning home for many centuries in consequence of this of his having blinded Polyphemus, a son of Poseidon by the Nymph Thoosa.  Poseidon was further regarded as the creator of the horse and was accordingly believed to have taught human man the art of managing horses by the bridle and to have been the originator and protector of horse races too. Interesting Eh!

Poseidon with his Trident- Neptune? 

There is so much about the God of the Sea Poseidon It is hard to choose which parts are the most important to put in a small post... I did find that it seems that Poseidon in conjunction with Apollo were have had built the walls of Troy for Laomedon. From what I understand when Poseidon and Apollo had built those walls for Troy, Laomedon had refused to give them the reward which had been stipulated and even dismissed them with threats afterwards. However Poseidon sent a marine monster which was on the point of devouring the King Laomedon' daughter; hence Heracles killed it. Well you would understand why Poseidon like that of Hera hated the Trojans and the Trojan war. Even though their brother Zeus favoured the Trojans for that I haven't figured out quite yet why? But i will for your all in time...
Now I thought I would chat a bit about Poseidon symbol of power, his Trident or spear. Mostly you see him with the Trident. The Trident was a heavy metal object with three points at one end that he could use to cause terrible storms, darken sky's, lighting in the clouds and enormous waves in all the oceans. He could also used his Trident to shatter enormous rocks, ships and anything that happened to be in his Oceanus. To call forth or subdue massive sea storms, to shake the entree earth or all the oceans of the earth. It seems all he had to do is thrust his powerful trident into the earth of the acropolis and there forth a well of massive sea-wall of water was thereby called forth. That was the power of his Trident. There are other legend that say he turns into an other personality called that of Neptune which is a more violent nature God of the Sea. I haven't research much about that but I might at some point... Lastly Its seems there was a tale about the legend about the mighty Poseidon and the King of

Poseidon God of the Oceans

Crete. Which is kinda cool. Why? Well I know I am getting of the subject a bit but, I have been to Crete many years ago in my 20's and it was amazing love the Greek islands I will have to do a post about those day if you all are interested . If you are just let me know? And I will heheh?

Well back to the tale of the King Minos of Crete. It seems that at the request of this King in Crete, he had asked Poseidon to cause a bull to rise from the sea, which the king had promised to sacrifice, but when Minos treacherously concealed the animal among a heard of oxen, Poseidon punished the King Minos by causing his daughter Pasiphae to fall in love with the bull. Periclymenus, who was either a son or a grandson or Poseidon, received from him the power of assuming various form, kinda like shapeshifteing.  It seemed that Poseidon and Amphitrite married and had three children, Triton, Rhode and Benthesicyme. It seems besides his marriage to Amphitrite and their children together, Poseidon had a vast number of children by other divinities and mortal women too. He is one of the most worshiped of all the Greek Gods besides Athena, which tells why both Zeus and Poseidon had many arguments over power and jealously too. It also seems that The Mighty God of the Oceans Poseidon worship was extended all over Greece and even the Southern Italy too. However he was especially revered in Peloponnesus and in the Ionic coast towns. It seems that in honor of the God Poseidon, in Argolis bridled horses were thrown into the wells as a sacrifice to the God Poseidon and his horses and his chariot races that were held in his honour on the Corinthian isthmus. The Panionia/The Festival of all the Ionians near Mycale was all celebrated in honor to the God Poseidon. It seems that the Romans identified Poseidon with as Neptune which I might go into another post. Also it seems that in 

lots of the art works of Poseidon You would mostly see him with either with dolphins, the horse or his trident or spear. His figure is frequently show in the ocean showing his power, and sometimes with his wife to be

Amphitrite too. You don't see Poseidon that often with his brother Zeus and after writing this post

I do understand why.  It seems that Poseidon was presented as the more calm god with

more majestic characterise than his brother Zeus. and that cause a great amount of 

agitation between the to brothers. And it seemed that the Romans prefer the God

Poseidon in many different attributes than that of Zeus.

I hope that You Enjoyed the Post On Poseidon

Fall is upon US!

'Autumn Equinox '
September 23, 2014

Fall is upon US! 
Autumn Equinox-
The Trees are starting to turn to their leaves to Golds, Yellows, Rusts, Reds and even Purples.  These are the last days to gather your vegetable gardens that are still baring fruits, herbs and much more... Like your

 tomato's, peppers, jalapeno peppers & herbs of all kinds too. Being that its September 23, 2014 Autumn Equinox; This is the time of year when all the fields and valleys are filled with pumpkins, squash, and corn stalks. Yes today is the first day of Autumn Equinox or the first day of Fall. of September 2014. The leaves are changing hear in Washington Seattle where I live. I hope that you have a wonderful first day of Fall. Although our summer days are at a end; with the falling leaves of fall. This is also a beautiful time of the year too! Besides the changes of the leaves in many parts of the worlds and here in the states of the US, we have the wonderful nature wonders to look forward too. I have always loved both the summer and the fall myself. And some of the things that I look forward in the fall that arent' in the summer are; the brisk cool nights, listening to the wind blowing thru the trees at night/day, the sound of the leaves blowing across the yard, the cracking of the warm fireplace, hot cider, hot-chocolate,scent of warm sweats/scarfs, and pumpkin cooking in the oven all October. This Fall I will get to really enjoy the outside of the Autumn Equinox which I am really looking forward too. Mostly because as it turns into the winter months. It gets harder for me as the nights get longer and the days get longer and darker. For Us folks with depression it can be hard to deal with. Anyways this weekend I spend outside working on my porch getting it ready for the fall season - kinda like fall/cleaning. We also got a few nice items for a neighbor that will make the time on my porch even more nice during the fall season and even the winter season much more pleasant too. So I can sit back and read a book, knit which I love too do too which I don't know if I have told you all that I love too do too [knitting scarfs] and watching my hummingbird Rosy that stays with me all

Fall is upon US!

Tips From the Garden~Pumpkins

Tips From the Garden~

Pumpkins

Enormous
Pumpkins

For today's Saturdays Gardens Post I thought I would talk about Pumpkins! 

Why? Well on Monday the Sept 15 of 2014 I went to the Washington State Fair

with my husband and son.Besides having a great time; which I will write about the day

on another post later. I saw these 'Enomorms Pumpkins'.

For the coming Fall of October, it seems that I have seen alot of pumpkins

these days. Even In the fields that are all around where I live, in the valley. There are full 

of pumpkins these last couple of weeks. I noticed the corn maze that they have every

year nearby where I live. The corn stalks are starting to get taller and taller; and the 

sign is up too. I remember last year my son having fun going thru that maze although it got dark fast and they had to help him and a couple of other teenagers that were lost in the dark maze with flashlights. He still had a great time. This year If he decides to go thru the maze again we are going to make sure to 

give are son a flashlight. 

Its interesting how folks who do his during the pumpkin season more seriously with the 

growth of their huge pumpkins or 1emormous pumpkin. These pumpkins can get 

huge, but what I understand its all in the seeds.

At the left is a normal
pumpkin seed at the right
is the super size
pumpkin seed 

Some of the oldest world records that I could find were back in the 1857. This was a

Southeast England grower and his pumpkin weight in at 245 pounds.   

In 1893 there was a farmer from Goderich, Ontario in which he produced a 

pumpkin weighing in at 365 pounds for the Chicago Worlds Fair. 

That same Farmer; William Warnock again seven years later in

Paris entree weight in a 400 pound pumpkin. Then again William Warnock 

wins again at the Worlds Fair at St. Louis in 1904 with a pumpkin weighing in

at 403 pounds. 

It seems that the Farmer William Warnock would hold his title for more than 

70 years!!! Warnocks recorded was finally broken in 1976, but from what I found 

it didn't show any dates, or who this Pennsylvania pumpkin grower was? So in my opinion 

Warnock's recorded wasn't broken till an Canadian , by the name of 

Howard Dill who finally was able to break the 70year record!

Dill got the attention to the Guinness book of World Records in 1981 for his 

493.5 pound pumpkin. 

After that the Giant Pumpkin Growing Clubs Began!

Today its not just pumpkins! its all kinds of vegetables! Although the 

pumpkins have gotten much larger! 

Thomas Andres a Squash Expert had the first 2,000 pound PUMPKIN!

In 2008 I found Steve Connolly and his PUMPKINS tip the scales at 1,900!

and his seeds fetch up to $500.

In 2009 a Schoolteacher - Christy Harp had her Pumpkin! weighting in at 1,725!

In 2012 at the Topsfield Fair in USA in September a farmer Ronwallace 

in Rhode Island had a PUMPKIN WEIGHTING IN AT 2,032!

DISPLAY IT AT THE TOPSFIELD FAIR

The last one since were upon the season where

there are lots all over the world hoping their PUMPKIN

will be the NEXT BIGGEST!

IN October 11, 2013, Tim Mathison brought in his

Pumpkin at the record to 2032 pounds. 

So It seems that 2,032 is the weight to bet! 

I will come back to this post for fun to see if they broke 

the record in the year 2014 so stay tuned! 

I hope you Enjoyed my story this time in 

Tips From the Garden in Pumkins 

HAPPY FALL!
