    I was raised in Santa Fe NM, my great Grandma on (Apodaca Hill) used to paint her windowsills with Turquoise paint to keep the witches out.

    As the boy said tomorrow you'll come for salt I heard some of these things growing up from my own family. I remember hearing the one don't look at the baby too much. And a lady who married into the family my mom would not let me accept gifts from hers that don't look her in the face too long Because she practiced witchcraft. I havent heard that word in a long time ABRUJAI think I spelled it wrong but now that I'm over I realize why they had all these things it was to try and keep people on the straight and narrows sometimes. But it was so crazy but you know some of the things that I heard to try and keep kids away from watering holes so they went drowned and other things that was their way of trying to get us to not be stupid sometimes. And the rest of it was it was just a fear factor. To try and convert everybody. Because I think it's important

    The Spanish Inquisition caused much hysteria, too, from 1478 to 1834, then there was the leftover misplaced good intentions and over-zealous righteousness.
