Smighean
In the early days of the British Isles, the witches and warlocks of legend could be found in every village from John O' Groats to Landsend, as healers, court viziers, soothe-sayers and local wisdom keepers. These druids of the ancient world were well respected and honourable, but like all people, and the gods of pagan pantheons, they were selfish and fickle in nature; Prone to bouts of passion and fury if their loyalties and boundaries were ever betrayed. Smighean was a healer and prophetic priestess of the warmer climes in the South of Great Britain. An olive skinned black-haired maid borne from the union between a traveling Mediterranean potion-master and a Cornish white witch. Her affinity with the Sidhe and Fae's magic realms was exceptional, even when the veil between worlds was entirely unthinned by the celestial cycles. Having been raised entirely by her Mother, schooled in the magic arts since she could draw runes, she had no time for grand ideas and lived a very humble life, despite her obviously exceptional abilities, in a shelter woven from the myrtle plants of the forest itself, by a forgotten ancestor of her matrilineal line.

The Banished Cock
Once upon a time, the Cock was one of the most feared wild animals on earth. Many animals including the lions and elephants were afraid of him. I know you will want to know why the Hen was feared. The Cock was feared by other animals because they believed that any animal who is capable of carrying flames of fire on his head deserves to be feared. For that reason, the cock was crowned the king of the woods and he ruled other bigger animals including the Lions, Tigres , serpents and others. A season came in the history of the animal kingdom that cold became intolerable. It almost rained every single day and the sun showed no sign of existence. The forest lost its pride and the animal had no social freedom. They rolled from freezing to frozen and their skin turned white at pace . One day, the animals decided to have a secret meeting that excluded the presence of their king "Cock" . In the meeting , it was agreed that the bravest among them ( Lions and Tortoise) embark on a journey to get flame from the burnings on cock's head. The tortoise was chosen because of his tricky skill and the other animals believed that with that skill he would bravely come back with the flame to save their lives while the Lion was chosen because of his strength and the animals also believed that with his strength he would get a flame to save their lives. It was indeed a very ugly day for the cock as he was sleeping at his home. The Lion and tortoise invaded his home and made several attempts to get a flame from the fire on his head. Several attempts to succeed with their mission seemed abortive that the Lion became so angry and went in against the Cock. The lion then bravely and angrily held the comb but was not consumed by the flame. Then, the Lion and the tortoise took Cock to the forest square where he was trialed and banished from the forest. The Cock then decided to go on exile and he was caught by humans who took him as a home animal and kept him hostage. From that day till this day, the cock and his generation has always remained a domestic animal. Once upon a time, the Cock was one of the most feared wild animals on earth.

Becoming Jesus
Jesus of Narareth does not exist. He is not/was not a real person, neither son of God, nor son of Mary and Joseph. That is the conclusion the man had reached after spending approximately one year scouring all of the lands mentioned in the Bible and much further in search of the holy man revered, and worshiped by billions across his planet earth and well beyond. In his time, the distant future, the Christian faith, along with many other human religious traditions, had spread out far into the Milky Way galaxy. As humans had mastered the ability to travel great distances through space and encountered intelligent alien species, they had brought their religious beliefs with them. Some of the earliest and most important explorers of the galaxy, were in fact religious proselytizers or missionaries. They were hoping to convert to their faith any intelligent beings they might encounter, exactly as the early sea faring explorers of earth had done some 3500 years prior, discovering and eventually settling new lands. In the process, through war and disease, they had killed millions of indigenous peoples, but their efforts gave way to the rise of human civilization and the spread of Christianity to all corners of the world.
