London's magical history uncorked from 'witch bottle'

A rare insight into the folk beliefs of 17th-century Britons has been gleaned from the analysis of a sealed "witch bottle" unearthed in Greenwich, London, in 2004. Witch bottles were commonly buried to ward off spells during the late 16th and 17th centuries, but it is very rare to find one still sealed.

    Ha, pick up ANY guidebooks for ANY organisation and you will see rituals. We are a ritualistic people, and it is a well study phenomena that this is used for social cohesion... magical or not.

    Also you are entitled to your opinion but please understand that I take offence at your infrance that Holy Communion is used to "control" me. You may consider the sacrament to be mumbo jumbo, but after due consideration and study I believe that it is a well discussed, document and commented ritual - not mumbo jumbo at all. Now, as I said, that you are entitled to your opinion, but you should realise that your comments above rubbish my opinion and so also my study and personal experience. Just so you know.
