MAGIC BEAUTY SECRETS

.

.

To be beautiful is an enternal endeavour of the humanity. Of course, they aren’t animals who are anyway beautiful so they tried to cheat on a front where mother nature was stingy.

Today it is  easy to get beauty – you just need a well filled piggy bank and some nip&tuck – and shazam! you are beautiful or  at least an eye catcher by hook or  crook.

In old times they used rituals and magic potions to match the ideal of beauty:

How to remove  unwanted hairs:

First remove the hair on a common way. Then mix the blood of young bats and milk of dogs, wait till the next full moon  and spread it on this place. Don’t talk while doing the ritual – otherwise the hairs will grown on your tongue.

How to get bulging wide eyes

Use de juice of the Belladonna, plucked in a new moon night. Squeeze some fruits and put the juice in the eyes to get very large pupils and your will be as blind as a mole for some days too. It’s dangerous to choose the man or woman for life while you are a blindworm – you could get  a rude surprise. The name Belladonna (beautiful woman) results from this ritual and supplanted the common name deadly nightshade and maybe the quote: Love is blind has their root there.

The magic of  make up

Native,  make up was only for ritual purposes. The place where they used it and the colors they used gave information about the kind of magic rituals and the goal. So red signs in their faces were for good luck at the hunt – maybe therefor women use  lipsticks?

Orange/Brown  or earthcolors on the body were a sign of good health – and maybe that’s the reason why we like a suntanned skin? For this I suggest to use self tanner. It’s better to look like a happy carrot than to torture your skin with to much sun.

Yellow signs on the body were a sign for satisfaction&success and people who had yellow signs on their face were valid for being smart. I’m not sure if this counts too  for yellow signs in terms of yellow hairs on the head…. BTW: the vernacular says when  you  wear yellow underwear (original yellow – not self-made)  during a diet you will lost more weight.

White colors were reserved to leaders and celebrities. During the years it was common  that a white skin is a sign for high society. Elisabeth the I. used a magic mixture  of white lead, boron nitride and talc in such an enormous quantity that their whole court feared the Queen could crumble  like an old masonry. So if you want to be like a Queen – don’t forget the trowel.

 There are  3 things, women need in life:food, water&compliments. – Chris Rock-

.

At last a ritual from Greece: When you give compliments about beauty to a person you have to spit afterwards three times on this person. That’s the evidence  that your compliment was honest meant. Without spitting you will count as a bamboozler and a liar. I have no clue if this ritual is common outside of Greece too – just give it a try and see…
