Description

Selma Black, Owned a Black Cat.
Selma Black did not wear a "witch's hat".
She did not ride a broomstick to black masses,
But she did meddle a bit into Dark Magics.
Selma Black kept in cages, little black bats.
With their blood,made a brew, and said a chant.
Then cursed and broke Momma Wickerson's back.

Selma Black lived nearest the woods alone in a shack.
Her door, like her hair, was painted black.
Selma heard a knock at the door, opened it up and was wrestled to the floor.
She was lifted, wrists bound.
Then was taken outside, saw the villagers, and made such a sound.
Barking mad, she laughed, and kicked a man to the ground.
The other man, whose hands still held her,
Shrieked in pain, for her touch became as hot as a flame.
When released she started to spin and sing.
"You rid thou's village of my body, but I shall still haunt thou's thoughts and dreams!"

Selma Black, who owned a cat, was tried and Hanged....
And they know now, that the act was a mistake.
At night when their children fall to sleep, a legendary cat starts to sneak.
It sits in the trees, eyes like embers.
And watches wickedly, at those who remember
They Kick and scream and wake up in sweats.
The feline knows, that Selma Black, though dead.
Will never leave these Villagers' heads.


......messed around with a paper sketch in photoshop,
Gave it a little story thing to go with it. Trying to get some creative juices flowing.
Based on the Salem Witch Trials, the pendant on her necklace is a pagan star symbol, not the satanist symbol.
I believe that Selma was eccentric, and a little crazy. She probably cast that spell because Mrs. Wickerson was being rude or something. She more than likely was nice to most people, made medicines and such. But did not take kindly to rude people.
and no no no, Selma Black was not a real person who was tried and hanged in the actual Salem Witch Trails, I made her up. And her outfit may not be spot on, i used a few different reffs.

oh btw, i do not think pagans or witches are evil, ive got quite a few friends that are pagan and or other religions, and i respect everyone's choices.... so yeah, i felt that needed to be said.

I was watching Ghost Adventures, and was thinking about when they went to the Salem Witch House (even though i was watching an episode where they went to Eastern State)

ANYWHO!
I'M nearly asleep whilst typing all this, It might not make as much sense to me when I wake up tomorrow.

Enjoy and Adios!
