Hello I would like to tell you about reversing things!
Hello everyone! Today I got a new friend! He is a badger!
Badgers look like this:
And here is a lady with a hat that looks like a badger with some other people with hats that look like badgers and she has a cake!
Doesn't that look delicious? I think so!
But those aren't my badger friends. My badger friend wears a little coat and spectacles and he has some friends who are a rat and a mole and a toad!
But that isn't about reversing anything or not reversing anything. Instead I would like to tell you about geeses!
Geeses are not always the bird kind of geese like this:
Because that is a goose and the plural is geese, not geeses!
Geeses are also a kind of evil curse!
When you are a fairy there are a lot of kinds of magic you can do! I can't do any magic because I am half human and humans don't do magic except in very special cases like if they are wizards or from another universe! But now that I am Queen of the Fairies, I have a lot of friends who can do magic for me and I have to learn all about it.
So the first kind of magic which is the most usual kind is called "glamourie." Glamourie is the kind of magic where you make things look like other things!
So for example say if you wanted to make a bunny look like it had horns like a jackalope which is an animal that is not real but people like to say it is, that would be glamourie.
And that would look like this:
But it would not actually BE a jackalope! It would be a bunny that looked like it has ears.
Glamourie wears off especially if the thing that has the glamourie on it touches iron! Iron is anathema to fairies. "Anathema" is a big word that means "Something that other things don't like an awful lot." So when iron touches something that is all glamoured up, it stops being glamoured up! And it just goes back to normal!
But then there is also fayerie, which is the kind of magic where something actually turns into another thing! That is really exciting magic. So for example if I had a bunny and I wanted to make it a puppy, then it wouldn't be a bunny anymore, it would be a puppy like this:
But instead you could also make your bunny just LOOK like a puppy, and then it would be glamourie!
Fayerie is more tricky and iron doesn't always make it go back! You usually have to find the person who made the fayerie to turn it back because they are the only one who can do it. Sometimes if the person who did the fayerie dies, then all the fayeries they did go back to the normal way they used to be!
But then there are geeses! Geeses are the very worst and most powerful magic and we also call them curses!
A geese is a kind of magic that someone puts on you where there are certain things you can't do and if you do them, you will die. So for example you could get a geese where someone could never eat cake and that would be sad or a geese where they could not wear pink and that would also be sad or maybe one where they could not hug kittens and this would be sad too!
Then if someone tried to do those things they would just drop dead just like that or maybe something else bad would happen to them! I have a friend who has a geese on her. It was so confusing when she got it because I thought they said she was bitten by a goose but then someone explained to me and it was all better. She can't go out in sunlight though because it makes her start bleeding everywhere and that is bad. And there is nothing she can do to make the geese go away and even the man who put it on her can't take it off it is that powerful!
Once there was a very famous man who had TWO geeses. His name was Cu Chulainn which might sound like a funny name to you and it is because it means "Culann's doggie."
Here is a picture of him:
Here is another picture of him but I don't think it is very good:
I think the other one is much better! That one is just silly because real people don't have muscles on top of their other muscles! Also a metal skirt looks real uncomfy!
His real name was Setanta which is a lot less silly but then he got attacked by a doggie that belonged to a man named Culann and he killed the doggie which I don't usually like but I don't think he liked it either! But he had to because of the attacking. It was a really mean dog. But then Culann needed a new doggie so he made Setanta be his doggie and that is how he got that name!
Anyway Cu Chulainn had two different geeses on him!
So that is Cuchulain and he had TWO geeses! At the same time! One of them meant he wasn't allowed to eat doggie meat, which I think would be an okay geese to have because I don't think it's very nice to eat meat from animals. And also who could eat a doggie? Doggies are so cute!
The other one he had was that he had to eat anything a lady gave him to eat! So that meant it didn't matter what she gave him, he had to eat it, even if it was icky foods like asparaguses. That would be a horrible geese I think because some people are just not good cooks. Or what if someone offered you some glass and rocks for dinner? Or food that looked like poo? Here is a picture of a baby eating food that looks like poo:
That is a cute baby but some icky food!
So then there were the geeses and can you guess just what happened? I bet you can! There was a lady who offered him some dog meat to eat! So poor Cu Chulainn! He had such a big choice! Either way he would lose his powers because either way he had to break a geese!
So he ate the meat the lady gave him and it didn't kill him but it made him very weak so then a bad guy came and killed him and that was really sad!
But do you know what? He was so magic and such a big hero that even after he was dead and the bad guy had cut his head off, there was a magic light that appeared and he cut off the bad guy's hand! Even when he was dead and everything!
Then one of Cu Chulainn's friends went and killed the bad guy and also his horsie helped by taking a big bite right out of him! Hooray for horsies although I don't think that tasted very good at all.
That is the end! I hope you enjoyed my story!
