Dead witch walling refers to a superstitious ritual that was practiced in some societies during the Middle Ages and early modern period. This ritual was primarily carried out in Europe and aimed to prevent the deceased from returning to haunt the living. The belief was that witches had the power to come back from the dead and cause harm. The technique involved in dead witch walling typically included burying the body of the alleged witch in a specific manner. It was believed that if the corpse was placed upside down or with its head removed and rotated, it would prevent the witch from rising again. Additionally, some communities opted to bury the accused witch outside of the consecrated ground, often near a crossroads or at the cross-section of multiple roads.

Question: How does the vortex basket work?
Answer: Air is forced upwards from the center air intake (controlled by the foot operated air intake lever) into the hot charcoal. The hot air is then forced through the vortex plate at the correct angles causing the air inside the smoker to spin. The spinning air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the smoker. The vortex plate also acts as a heat deflector which helps reduce burned meat.
Question: Is the vortex basket assembled?
Answer: Yes, the vortex basket is fully assembled. Simply pull it out of the box and season it by spraying or rubbing cooking oil on the metal then put some charcoal in the basket and light the charcoal. Place the vortex basket inside the smoker and bring the temperature to 275 degrees for two hours.
Question: Will the vortex basket work with "other" brands of drum smokers?
Answer: We have many, many customers who throw away their old stock charcoal basket and replace it with the vortex basket and have excellent results. It's all about the vortex difference.

These barriers could be constructed using materials such as iron or stone. Some communities even went so far as to build walls or fences to enclose the burial site, reinforcing the belief that the witch's spirit would be trapped and unable to escape. The dead witch walling ritual was a reflection of the intense fear and paranoia surrounding witchcraft during this time period. Accusations of witchcraft were rampant, and many innocent individuals were wrongly accused and punished. The practice of dead witch walling was seen as a necessary precaution to protect the living from potential harm at the hands of the deceased witch. Although dead witch walling is largely considered a thing of the past, remnants of these rituals can still be found in some areas. Historic sites and burial grounds may display evidence of the walls or barriers once erected to contain the alleged witches. These remnants serve as a reminder of a time when superstition and fear dominated the lives of many people. In conclusion, dead witch walling was a ritual practiced during the Middle Ages and early modern period to prevent deceased witches from returning to haunt the living. This ritual involved burying the body in a specific manner and constructing physical barriers around the burial site. The practice was driven by the fear and superstition surrounding witchcraft during this time, and although it is no longer common, remnants of these rituals can still be seen today..
Reviews for "The Curses and Spells of Dead Witch Walling"
1. Margaret - 2 stars:
I was really disappointed with "Dead Witch Wailing". The plot was confusing and hard to follow, with too many unnecessary subplots that didn't add anything to the story. The characters were also very one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with them. Overall, I found the book to be slow-paced and uninteresting, and it failed to deliver on its promises of suspense and excitement.
2. John - 1 star:
I couldn't believe how poorly written "Dead Witch Wailing" was. The grammar and punctuation mistakes were so distracting that it took away from any enjoyment I could have gotten from the story. The dialogue was also cringe-worthy and unrealistic, filled with clichés and poorly developed interactions. It felt like the author rushed through writing this book without taking the time to edit or revise properly. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
3. Sarah - 2 stars:
I had high hopes for "Dead Witch Wailing" based on the intriguing synopsis, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The pacing was all over the place, with long stretches of unnecessary details and then rushed action scenes that left me confused. The world-building lacked depth and consistency, making it hard to fully immerse myself in the story. The main character's motivations were also unclear, and I found it hard to root for her. Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied and uninterested in continuing with the series.
