This house is the loudest house ever!
crashes in the middle of the day
exploding Jack O Lantern
slamming doors
and the knocking on glass
a wind sweeps by me
I seem to get along with her just fine.
I look forward to her visits
As a young girl at age 14
her long dark hair
and brown eyes
were becoming of her.
just a glimpse is all I ever see
I put a chair in the hallway
and wait for her to come sit
she always enters the room
with a loud noise
and a familiar smell
she is not a quiet visitor
the house keeper
and she shows me around the house
in the most delightful way
this is what she wears
found in the attic
and her shoes
were made to order
she was one of a kind
and is
this old lady
can be aggressive
as she warns me
The house has taken me
I care for her
my ritual
is held within
unknown

another entry from the diary, her tone has changed within the last few years. I have to wonder is this part made up? She only vaguely speaks of him. Is this phantom character make believe?
Weather: It's getting cold outside, the flannel sheets are on the bed.
every time he leaves
I think
if I just would have given him
one more kiss
or that I should have
squeezed him harder
and maybe even
a little longer
I walk through the emtpy house
finding remanants of him
"weekend leftovers"
hold me
over again.
You never really part
because I keep you
in my heart

debris
LIKE A SINK HOLE
MY THOUGHTS ARE SLOW
TO WONDER
AT WHAT LIES
BELOW THE SURFACE
UNDER GROUND
CURRENTS FLOW
BREAKING AWAY
DEBRIS
OF THE PAST
SWEPT AWAY
A NEW CHANNEL
OF THOUGHT
IS SUMMONED

Dedication to Laughter
THE GARDEN PATH LESS TRAVELED
growing wild
a place enchanted
entertaining self
with laughter
a current occurrence
of truffles
walking the walls
in the dark
to see the light
hot bath
candles might
save you
from the
trip
you don't take
no food
no music
solitude
luxuries of life
expect nothing
with gratitude
life
sparse
speaking freely
of
non cents
laughter in my head
fills the space
between my ears
a lasting night
rain, wind,chimes
trash can
put you to sleep
a symbol
of things
in the wrong place
drip drip drip drip
TING
lace curtains
blow away
watching day light
turn dark blue
with nothing to do
it is here
I dance
whip cream
records play
the intimate
connection
grounds my soul
bare naked lady
at your garden gate
rambling rose
grows
a faint sweet scent
to lure you into a place
of make believe
bed time stories
told a tale
never ending.

Anna Funk
You know it is just the wind; but ask "who is knocking at my door?" being answered by "No one!"
The name Anna Funk comes from a line of direct descendents: women I have learned from, through their lives, I tune mine to the highest vibrations. I honor them for teaching me, not through lectures or conversation but from the lives they led. Inspired by the need to escape a reality; a prison created under the guidelines of tradition, including my upbringing as a preachers daughter. Taunted by incest from an early age, I brought dominant partners into my life to play out aggressive behavior, becoming the character they sought, losing a sense of self. Prison walls lined with anxiety and decaying cells, the character of "the witch" appeared at a primal level, challenging me to a never ending dual, it is here that I suffer to grow or die.
Anna funk is a real witch, not the kind that is affiliated with organized cults. She is not a member of a coven, or of organized groups, for this reason and this reason only; she is considered a Classic Independent Witch. Now if you know anything about real witches, you will know the reason of this, the Classic Independent Witch not relying on the wisdom of other witches, all spells and potions are made from the depths of her dark soul, to be protected, not shared.
Most likely you will never know whether or not you have met a real witch; witches are exclusive, revealing their identity to but a special few; always subservient, they have no inclinations as to the services they are performing, they are manifested by her, beings from the dark, she gives them experience they have never encountered and this is in return for the task they have ahead. The reason I know this...
I am one of the chosen.
hearing her say "anna funk exist only in your head."

To give the weak soul something to believe in
from the past of JT Murphy
There is nothing better than a walk in the dark or a Grimm Tale
to lie is to destroy

The Broom Handle
There are a precious few that I thought might enjoy this useful information...
A ritual of sweeping will put everything back in place. AF
If a broomstick was rubbed with such potions and used for riding or masturbatory purposes, a sensation of flight would result.
the witch could 'sweep her tracks from the sky.'
festival nights such as Walpurgisnacht, townspeople laid out hooks and scythes to kill any witches who fell off their brooms. The also rang church bells, which had the power to ground broomsticks and knock witches off them.
A famous Scottish witch of the 17th century, Isobel Gowdie, claimed to have used her broom for an atypical reason. Instead of using it for traveling, she used it to deceive her husband. Before going to a sabbat, Isobel substituted her broom for herself in bed. She said he never knew the difference, which might have been more of a comment on their marriage than a confession of witchcraft).
In some lore, the Devil dispensed brooms and flying ointment to weak witches who needed help.

Rumors are not always true
About the Art: JT Murphyhttp://notentirelylost.com/-a painting I would love to have.
The Funk House
This
was before I learned to read warning signs.
Illusion
A witch is always mistaken for evil
when i tell you the story it is truth
or illusion
there is nothing other than this.
your bloody face and beaten body
the image remains asleep
the presence of light
awakens it.
the painting falls
My ears are in tune with the universe
I know what it offers.
to my dear friend
know this
you were the culprit
I was there
only to warn you
remember my words
are you ok?
I thought you to be wounded
with dragging limbs
under covers you lay
a dark room
down a long hall
I came to you
and set by your side.
Warning preceding
The beaten body.
you are under my care
we are connected
do not doubt
yet you question
and betray
do you remember?
"Sh...don't tell"

The Diary entry was dated: August is fucking hot
the diary entry was found in the form of a perfectly wadded up ball, twine wrapping around it in the most disorderly fashion, hair clippings and and what appeared to be blood stains, adorned the outer layer. It was hanging from a rafter in the attic by a piece of red thread; reminding me of a sacrificed head.
We would summon him
the five chosen witches
with bells and symbols
clips of hair tied and sewn into a deep pocket.
His name was Kneeon,
a tall handsome black man
whenever he came
near
my soul would crave the black chocolate.
I could feel it
on my lips
warm
melting me into a place that only he could.
The ride was long and hard
demons would dance
as they watched me ache with pleasure.
sounds from a primal past would escape
out of the mouth
into a world
not to be understood
but felt
as a shiver,
the ice dagger
piercing through a warm beating heart
turning it cold
melting evidence of all.
