21 Lil Harold After The Curse Download

I wanted to somehow depict the action of a curse on the individual target. Here, the witch's magical energy (blue) ties up that of the target, hindering it, and takes over some aspects of the target, misdirecting it. Don't make a witch mad. :)

Ballard fired coach after coach after don't-bother-to-unpack coach, and traded away the best players. When Leafs legend and Hall of Famer Darryl Sittler was shipped to Philadelphia in exchange for a couple of forgettable Flyers, it was like swapping a Rolls-Royce for a Toyota (if the Toyota never back-checked and had chronic groin injuries). And those are just some of his dumb moves.


Whether you believe there's a curse or not, the fact is that before Ballard arrived, the Leafs won 13 championships, and since Ballard arrived, the team has won as many Stanley Cups as the dead squirrel in my bird feeder.


So I've watched the film again just recently, and when they were in the carriage discussing Prince Charming not being able to rescue Fiona because she was already gone, it made me wonder: Was the Fairy Godmother the "witch" who actually cursed Fiona in the first place? This might be a "not enough details/it doesn't really matter" kind of conversation, but I still think it's an interesting question to pose/discuss.


- In Shrek (2001), Fiona confides in Donkey: "I've been this way as long as I can remember. ... It only happens when the sun goes down. 'By night one way, by day another. This shall be the norm, until you find true love's first kiss, then take love's true form.' It's a spell! When I was a little girl, a witch cast a spell on me. Every night I become this. This horrible, ugly beast. I was placed in a tower to await the day my true love would rescue me." She gives no further details about the witch or why she cursed her happened, she only discussing details about how the curse effects her.


- In Shrek 2 (2004), Charming narrates the book: "Until the sun went down and they saw that their daughter was cursed with a frightful enchantment that took hold each and every night. Desperate, they sought the help of a Fairy Godmother, who had them lock the young princess away in a tower there to await the kiss of the handsome Prince Charming." It's a very vague, matter-of-fact explanation (probably because it's a reimagined recap to introduce the plot of the movie), but the lack of details do not necessarily prove the Fairy Godmother's innocence and/or benevolence in "solving their problem."


I hypothesize that the Fairy Godmother was actually "the witch" (or, at the very least, hired "a witch") who cursed Fiona in the first place, so that she could ensure her son, Prince Charming, would be the one to rescue her and become King of Far Far Away.






(1) Harold made a deal with the Fairy Godmother that she would turn him human (and maybe a prince as part of the deal, in order to marry Princess Lillian and become king) if he promised his (firstborn) daughter/child would marry her (firstborn) son/child, thereby ensuring Charming becomes King one day; Fiona's curse was just a way to give a public excuse to the underlying deal (maybe only Harold and the Fairy Godmother know the truth).


(2) Harold made a deal with the Fairy Godmother that she would turn him human (and maybe a prince) if he agreed to "owe her a favor" (to be purposely vague), and put the curse on Fiona so that Harold would agree to a "favor" that Prince Charming would be the one to rescue her (and become king one day).


Also, does it matter whether Harold knew if the Fairy Godmother put the curse on his child? Because, in this case, there would be no child if Harold didn't marry Lillian, so the deal had to be made before Fiona was born. So I'm wondering if putting the curse on Fiona ensured that Fairy Godmother's child would be king because she provided Charming to be her rescuer. Does that make sense?


However, Fiona was keeping a big secret: she was cursed, and so she turned into an ogre every night. As she fell in love with Shrek, when they finally kissed, she ended up becoming an ogre, and Fiona carried on with her life as such (though was briefly transformed back to her human form in Shrek 2), but the mystery behind her curse continued, making way for theories about it, including one that makes the Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders) responsible for it.


There are occasional instances of genuine ancient curses appearing inside or on the façade of a tomb, as in the case of the mastaba of Khentika Ikhekhi of the 6th Dynasty at Saqqara. These appear to be directed towards the ka priests to protect the tomb carefully and preserve its ritual purity rather than as a warning for potential robbers. There had been stories of curses going back to the 19th century, but they multiplied after Howard Carter's discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. Despite popular misconceptions, no curse was found inscribed in the Pharaoh's tomb.[2] The evidence for curses relating to Tutankhamun is considered to be so meager that Donald B. Redford called it "unadulterated claptrap".[3]


Curses after the Old Kingdom era are less common though more severe, sometimes invoking the ire of Thoth or the destruction of Sekhemet.[4] Zahi Hawass quotes an example of a curse: "Cursed be those who disturb the rest of a Pharaoh. They that shall break the seal of this tomb shall meet death by a disease that no doctor can diagnose."[6]


Hieroglyphs were not deciphered until the early 19th century, so reports of curses before this are simply perceived bad luck associated with the handling of mummies and other artifacts from tombs. In 1699, Louis Penicher wrote an account in which he recorded how a Polish traveler bought two mummies in Alexandria and embarked on a sea journey with the mummies in the cargo hold. The traveler was alarmed by recurring visions of two specters, and the stormy seas did not abate until the mummies were thrown overboard.[2]


The belief in a curse was brought to many people's attention due to the deaths of a few members of Howard Carter's team and other prominent visitors to the tomb shortly thereafter. Carter's team opened the tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62) in 1922, launching the modern era of Egyptology.


The famous Egyptologist James Henry Breasted worked with Carter soon after the first opening of the tomb. He reported how Carter sent a messenger on an errand to his house. On approaching his home the messenger thought he heard a "faint, almost human cry". Upon reaching the entrance he saw the birdcage occupied by a cobra, the symbol of the Egyptian monarchy. Carter's canary had died in its mouth and this fueled local rumors of a curse.[10] Arthur Weigall, a previous Inspector-General of Antiquities to the Egyptian Government, reported that this was interpreted as Carter's house being broken into by the Royal Cobra, the same as that worn on the King's head to strike enemies (see Uraeus), on the very day the King's tomb was being broken into.[11] An account of the incident was reported by The New York Times on 22 December 1922.[12]


The first of the deaths was that of Lord Carnarvon, who financed the excavation. He had been bitten by a mosquito, and later slashed the bite accidentally while shaving. It became infected and that resulted in blood poisoning. Two weeks before Carnarvon died, Marie Corelli wrote an imaginative letter that was published in the New York World magazine, in which she quoted an obscure book that confidently asserted that "dire punishment" would follow any intrusion into a sealed tomb. A media frenzy followed, with reports that a curse had been found in the King's tomb, though this was untrue.[4] The superstitious Benito Mussolini, who had once accepted an Egyptian mummy as a gift, ordered its immediate removal from the Palazzo Chigi.[13]


In 1925, the anthropologist Henry Field, accompanied by Breasted, visited the tomb and recalled the kindness and friendliness of Carter. He also reported how a paperweight given to Carter's friend Sir Bruce Ingram was composed of a mummified hand with its wrist adorned with a scarab bracelet marked with, "Cursed be he who moves my body. To him shall come fire, water, and pestilence." Soon after receiving the gift, Ingram's house burned down, followed by a flood when it was rebuilt.[18]


Howard Carter was entirely skeptical of such curses,[19] dismissing them as 'tommy-rot' and commenting that "the sentiment of the Egyptologist ... is not one of fear, but of respect and awe ... entirely opposed to foolish superstitions".[20] In May 1926 he reported in his diary a sighting of a jackal of the same type as Anubis, the guardian of the dead, for the first time in over thirty-five years of working in the desert, although he did not attribute this to supernatural causes.[21][22]


Skeptics have pointed out that many others who visited the tomb or helped to discover it lived long and healthy lives. A study showed that of the 58 people who were present when the tomb and sarcophagus were opened, only eight died within a dozen years. All the others were still alive, including Howard Carter, who died of lymphoma in 1939 at the age of 64.[23][24] The last survivors included Lady Evelyn Herbert, Lord Carnarvon's daughter, who was among the first people to enter the tomb after its discovery in November 1922, who lived for a further 57 years and died in 1980,[25] and American archaeologist J.O. Kinnaman, who died in 1961, 39 years after the event.[26]


On Saturday, March 4, the Toronto Maple Leafs lost 4-1 to the Vancouver Canucks. While teams lose regularly, even the best ones, what set this game apart in my mind was the horrible bad luck Toronto had throughout the game. Time after time, if luck was involved, it went against the Maple Leafs.


They possess also all the arrogance of the truly efficient. They are actually proud of the snares which they strew in the path of other men. They are proud even of their official railway time-table, a compilation which requires several years of profound study, and some knowledge of chemistry, physics and geometry to master. The whole thing is starred and interrupted by little pictures of beds and knives and forks and aeroplanes and brass musical instruments representing post-horns and strange symbols copied from the earlier pyramids. Then there are the arrows. The German Official Kursbuch is a perfect St. Sebastian for arrows. There are arrows which point north and south and east and west. There are diagonal arrows, and circular arrows and oblique arrows. There is one peculiarly insidious form of arrow which turns back upon itself half way, making a right angle; there is another form of arrow which migrates from one column of the time-table to the other. Of all the arrows of outrageous fortune this interlinear arrow is the most eccentric. Many a well meaning German on meeting that arrow has been sent from Berlin to Baden-Baden whereas his whole desire and intention had been to proceed from Berlin to Vienna. Many an anxious German returning from Moscow to his anxious family has been diverted by that arrow until, after three days wearisome travelling, he ends up at Omsk. And yet, for all their sufferings under the official time-table of the Reich shall n, the great heart of the German people beats with quickened pride when it sees its Kursbuch.
