I"m sure in a few dusty, old books of spells that have survived centuries of persecution and burning by those who hunt witches; there might be a recipe or two that call for a broken man"s heart. Imagine the power that can fuel and drive a spell into motion if such a broken heart could be won. Thanks to the power that a woman possesses, she can easily win the attraction of any male. And if knowledgeable enough, she might know just the right moment to hex her victim with a terrible love spell that causes him to fall head over heels—so madly in love with her. In many cases this victim might not have ever met the woman who casts such a spell. He only encounters her in public places such as the daily commute on the train, or the morning visit to the coffee shop. Chances are the two never exchanged even the simplest of words with one another. But somehow he falls in love her. From that moment on he can"t eat, he can"t sleep and he can"t drive the irrational thoughts or feelings of this woman out of his mind and heart. And if a man who falls victim to this spell happens to be previously in love with another woman, she will soon be forgotten. For you see, there is no way to resist the power of terrible love spell. The answer is clear. Those uncontrollable thoughts and feelings are a calling out from the desired woman. So with heart racing, body trembling and all sorts of chemicals surging through his veins; the man finally speaks out and makes his move. In just one example out of a thousand, he usually falls flat on his face—figuratively speaking. He"s intoxicated with being in love and can"t seem to speak or act out appropriately. But she"s so callous and cold, “Such a disappointment; he"s not the sort of man I thought he was. You only have one chance to make a first impression with me.” Or maybe a cruel witch of a woman might play the card of being taken off guard and surprised. “I"m so sorry! I didn"t mean to make you feel this way. Whatever I did or said was purely unintentional. You seem like a nice guy, but we don"t share the same feelings.” She might not even say that much. She might only walk away, never to be seen or heard from again. There is nothing left to do or say. It"s simply time for her to hide in the attic during the midnight hours with candles of various colors and a collection of strange items needed for the perfect recipe for a granted wish. But the most precious, the sweetest of these ingredients is the man"s fragile, shattered heart. It causes him to walk the days as a disheveled mess with red, glassy eyes as he struggles in vain to overcome his emotional wreck. Perhaps a witch might even be able to reach across the void in the dark of night, and collect the tears from the pillow of a man whose heart she has broken. Such a precious thing: if the reader is a woman, wouldn"t you like to have in your possession a man"s tears that have been cried for you? Fortunately, most witches would never stoop so low—unless, of course, she feels he deserves it. But you can thank the small fraction of a percentage that does use their knowledge in harmful ways for the negative reputation that is often associated with witches. These types disregard any morals or sense for the common good. And this is why witches have been hunted through the ages and given cruel means of disposal—burning, hanging or drowning. Such a shame… Buried within that small fraction of a percentage of bad witches are the purely evil ones who have seemingly sold their own souls and are merely buying their times here on Earth. Such a witch may only come once every five hundred years (just a guesstimate). They"re nearly non-existent, but not completely non-existent! But to my fellow men, I reassure you not to worry. Most of us will never fall victim to the meddling of wicked witch. It takes a special man who is predisposed, nearly destined to fall victim to a witch. Perhaps he"s… well… stupid, and involves himself in things he has no business being involved in. He probably even deserves it! Tom Raimbault Hoffman Estates, Illinois April 12, 2013
