May Day Bracelet - (to Ward off the Wicker Man)

smoking!

Lovely colours! if i was the wicker man i would run for the hills Aghhhh its too pretty the prettiness is killing me XD

Fab bracelet! And a blast from the past...The Wicker man, it's a classic.

I used to work on the Greek Island of Skyros and they had a wierd festival there called the Goat Dance Festival. The guys used to dress up in goat skins with the skin of a kid goat over their faces and huge goat bells around their waists, they'd came through the streets in small groups and you would hear them coming before you could see them. It used to scare the life out of me!

Wow, it's all really cool stuff. They seem to pop up all over Europe.
It must be a hang over from our pagan roots, I wonder what it started off as?

I have no idea what the Wicker Man is, but it is a beautiful bracelet.

I can not sleep when I watch scary movies, so that's probably why I do not know the The Wicker Man.
but thanks for the explanation

But you have enough common sense not to watch, I watch them anyway!

experience

Ok I'm weird but I loved the ending the first time I saw it I sat in a sulk expecting the police to come crashing in at any moment, and when they didn't..................................
Went off to bed very happy and slept soundly like a true pagan !

Well, I know I'm weird. When the teenagers where being chased by the Blair Witch I kept shouting at the telly (so mad as well), follow the river out! Just follow the river, OMG!! By the end of the film I was on the witch's side.

I should add that I was 7/8 months pregnant at the time and it didn't take much to set me off.

But when it comes to scary, scary (I can't watch it) scary.

Demons are just angels, helping you let go.

This combo looks really beautiful

Great combo - I can't do much more scary than Mary Poppins, LOL, although I did manage the Wicker Man when I was younger. I'm a real wimp and can't sleep either. No Blair Witch project for me!! I walked out of the cinema on my first date with my DH who took me to see The Fly. Yuck.

I must say that I haven't wached the Wicker Man and I can't sit down and watch scary movies or horror films

On a bright note though this is lovely bracelet x

Ha ha! Mary Poppins? Actually I thought Dick Van Dyke's accent was scary! Strangely, I quite like The Fly! , but I'm more of your - Roger Corman 'Poe' movies.

lovely bracelet! I like your combo with one silver after two glass beads.

That's because I couldn't decide which green beads to take off!! Maybe I should try that more often.

Your picture is amazing....the greens just pop off my screen......so refreshing on this hot day!
