Scheol and Sheol are the same. Since schoel is pronounced with 'sh', the 'c' was dropped and it became Shoel (I think)

This is a joke that I share with D_I and Dewy. My witch avataar was described quite clearly D_I's KOTW. All the books we read as kids told us that all witches are sinister and live in a dark world. Mostly with the dead and the ghosts. Hades, Scheol are all related with Hell. A place which is frightening, wicked and evil.

I said I was Wendy the friendly witch, who wants to come to the human world since I find the Netherworld sickening and unfriendly. But I still have the traits of a witch. Hence I hates gnomes, goblins, fairies, pixies all of whom are D_I's friends.

Hey, Ranjna, I was so pleasantly surprised to see you replying to this one.. thanks, an honor to have this one from you.. 😊

This gives me a first picture about you.. so you have an adorable brat at home? Congratulations.. and your comment on your husband was hilarious. ( And pardon my saying so, but thats a very cozy family portrait. Amen)

Oh and ya, Delhiites initially hate Mumbai, unanimously. Just wait for one year, I'll ask you the same thing one year down the line ( if we all are still here) Your loyalties with the cities would have taken a 180 degree turn. Take it from me, personal exerience. 😉

Thats some alter ego she has to keep reminding herself of every few days. When she gets all buttered up and sugared up by our overwhelming compliments , she comes back in her witch avataar. Reality check, for us, I guess. 😃😉 What say, Dawn?
