Individuals with these birthmarks may embrace their connection to a magical realm or explore witchcraft practices. While this trend may be entertaining and intriguing for some, it is important to remember that birthmarks are simply physical abnormalities that occur during fetal development. They do not have any inherent supernatural or magical significance.

The folk song “Broomfield Hill”. It’s about a witchy woman who drugs her suitor to stop him taking her virginity.

Layla and Witchy Woman – iconic – this is a great list – never thought of what all these songs had in common – great post

One of my favorites for this time of year is “Little Red Riding Hood” by Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs. Not to mention another Tom Jones classic: “Daughter Of Darkness”.
And speaking of Tom Jones: a guy goes to the doctor and says, “Every time I pass the place I grew up I sing ‘The Green Green Grass of Home’ and every time I pass a cat I sing ‘What’s New Pussycat?'”
The doctor says, “It sounds like you’ve got Tom Jones syndrome.”
The guy says, “I’ve never heard of that. Is it rare?”
“It’s not unusual.”

Very funny. LOL. And re the song. Gosh yes that”s a brilliant song and some great videos to that too.. Thanks for reminding me of that song. It’s a classic.

what a great collection of songs; I just heard Evil Woman on the radio today. I’ve always enjoyed Year of the Cat, but I guess I never listened to the lyrics too closely since I’m not sure how it fits in with your other songs. I’m looking forward to giving a few of these songs a listen later today.

You need to listen to the lyrics of the Year of The Cat. But beyond that. also the meaning of the song. Al Stewart said it was about a busy businessman who is on a flight to an exotic location when his plane makes an unexpected stop. He leaves and encounters a beautiful woman. He then misses the next flight and there won’t be another for a considerable time. He realises on meeting this “Mysterious Woman” his life is profoundly changed. This time coincides with the Astrological Year of the Cat. It’s all about fate and chance and the type of events that would lead us to a whole new way of life. “By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There’s a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat While she looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what’s waiting inside
The year of the cat” So Year of the Cat fits because it’s about a man’s encounter with a very Mysterious woman who totally captivates him. In The Year of The Cat.

Evil Ways by Santana, She’s Not There – The Zombies, Strange Brew – Cream, Devil with a Blue Dress – Mitch Ryder… Was Just listening to My Baby’s Gone by Los Lobos, which has the line “Some people say that now I’m free from your spell…. livin’ on the outside, you know its hard to tell.” Great bluesy rock track.

Witchy woman song

Sunday time for a classic.

"Witchy Woman" is a song written by Don Henley and Bernie Leadon, and recorded by the American rock band EAGLES. Released as the second single from the band's debut album "Eagles" and is the only single from the album to feature Henley on lead vocals.

Guitarist Bernie Leadon first started writing "Witchy Woman" while he was a member of the FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS. After joining the EAGLES, Leadon and Don Henley then finished the song together, and it would be the only song on the "Eagles" debut album where Henley had a writing credit. The song was conceived while Don Henley was living in an old house near the Hollywood Bowl, with his flatmate, Henry Vine (aka 'Blitz'). Henley said of the origin of the song: "Leadon came over one day and started playing this strange, minor-key riff that sounded sort of like a Hollywood movie version of Indian music — you know, the kind of stuff they play when the Indians ride up on the ridge while the wagon train passes below. It had a haunting quality, and I thought it was interesting, so we put a rough version of it down on a cassette tape." Henley also gave the song an R&B pulse in its music.

The inspiration for the title and lyrics about a seductive enchantress came from a number of women, although Henley had one particular woman in mind - Zelda Fitzgerald, whose biography he was reading while writing the song. According to Henley, he was suffering from flu with a very high fever and become semi-delirious, and every time the fever subsided, he would continue to read a book on the life of Zelda Fitzgerald, and the character in the song would be a mix of Zelda Fitzgerald "along with amorphous images of girls he had met at the Whisky and the Troubadour". Zelda, the muse behind her husband F. Scott Fitzgerald, was known as a wild, bewitching and mesmerizing "Flapper" of the Jazz Age and the Roaring Twenties, and is sometimes thought to be the model for the character of Daisy Buchanan in his novel, The Great Gatsby. In "Witchy Woman", the line "She drove herself to madness with the silver spoon" may be a reference to Zelda's time in a mental institution and the special slotted silver spoon used to dissolve sugar cubes with absinthe, the popular 1920s alcoholic beverage distilled from the wormwood tree and called "the green fairy" for sometimes inducing hallucinations.

According to Henley, other influences for the song include books by Carlos Castaneda on shamanism, and a girl he knew who was interested in the occult.

"Witchy Woman" is one of the earliest songs written by the EAGLES, and together with "Take It Easy" it was also one of the very few songs the band performed every night in their early days. In one of their earliest public appearances as the Eagles, they performed "Witchy Woman" repeatedly at the opening of an art show in Venice, California in 1972 of works by Boyd Elder, who would later also create the painted skulls that appear in some of EAGLES' albums covers.

The song, along with "Desperado", was both used and referred to in an episode of the sitcom Seinfeld. In an episode of Dharma and Greg from the first season, Abbey, Dharma's mother, mentions that she dated Henley and is almost certain she is Witchy Woman. The song was used in a 2005 episode of the series Cold Case titled "In the Woods" (the episode was set during 1972, the year of the song's original release). It is also used in the movie America's Sweethearts to depict Catherine Zeta-Jones' character as she is getting out of a limousine.

The single was released August 1, 1972. The video clip is filmed live Houston 1976.

Enjoy today's classic.

“Witchy Woman” by Eagles

The lady at the center of The Eagles’ “Witchy Woman” is in fact presented as having some characteristics popularly associated with witches. For example, she’s able the ‘fly high’, with the insinuation being that she is doing so magically.

You can view the lyrics, alternate interprations and sheet music for Eagles's Witchy Woman at Lyrics.org.

Also, as noted in the second verse, she has the ability to cast spells, particularly on the likes of the singer. But of course these are metaphors, and it is that latter notion which this song is particularly centered on.

In other words, the idea is not to present the subject of this song as being an actual witch. Rather she is a seductress. Thus the spell she had cast on the vocalist was actually akin to seducing him.

But with this lady indeed being a “witchy woman”, he is not celebrating falling victim to her. Rather he is warning the addressee, who is a “brother” of his, to stay strong against her charms. This is due to this woman for instance having ‘slept in the devil’s bed’.

While the exact meaning of that simile is not abundantly clear, it can easily be interpreted as something which is not favorable. Indeed the singer seems to acknowledge her sensual prowess along with the fact that sleeping with her has dire consequences.

“Withcy Woman” was a real person

This song is indeed based on real-life women, though not necessarily anyone in particular. However, when composing the lyrics, Don Henley was reading the biography of Zelda Fitzgerald (1900-1948), who could be classified as a wild girl back in her day. In fact there is a certain line in the song, in which he references the witchy woman ‘driving herself mad with a silver spoon’, which some feel actually alludes to Zelda’s affinity for a liquor called absinthe.

However, others also say this phrase may actually be a reference to an even harder drug. But either way you cut it, the idea is the same. And it is that the “witchy woman” is indeed the reckless, even dangerous type. Moreover Henley also derived partial inspiration for the witchy lady from a girl he knew who dabbled in the occult.

Conclusion

So basically what we have here is a situation where the singer uses the character of a witch to rather point to the idea of a temptress. That is this “witchy” lady does indeed have enchants. But those powers are used to basically get men in bed and leave them in an unfavorable state afterwards.

“Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye”

Birthmarks are common and can come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, and most of them have no underlying medical concern. It is crucial to approach this trend with a critical mindset and not take it too seriously. Believing that certain birthmarks make someone a witch goes against common sense and scientific understanding. Engaging in magical or mystical practices should always be done responsibly and with proper knowledge and understanding. In conclusion, the "witch birthmark" trend on TikTok is an interesting phenomenon that has captured the curiosity of many individuals. While it may be enjoyable to explore the mystical side of life, it is important to treat birthmarks as purely physical phenomena and not attribute them to supernatural powers or connections to witchcraft..

Reviews for "From TikTok to Real Life: The Witch Birthmark Phenomenon"

"Witch birthmark tiktok" was a complete waste of time. The concept of individuals showcasing their supposed "witch birthmarks" is not only ridiculous but also dangerous. It promotes the spread of misinformation and can lead vulnerable people to believe in supernatural powers that do not exist. Additionally, the videos lack any substantial evidence or scientific backing, making them nothing more than a platform for attention-seeking individuals. Overall, I would not recommend wasting your time on this TikTok trend.

2. Emily Smith - 2 stars

I must admit, I was intrigued when I first came across the "Witch birthmark tiktok" videos. However, upon further investigation, I realized that it was just another silly internet trend. There is no scientific evidence or credible research to support the existence of witch birthmarks. Many of the TikTokers participating in this trend seem to be seeking attention or trying to play into the current fascination with the supernatural. Unfortunately, this only serves to spread misinformation and confuse individuals who may not have a strong understanding of science and critical thinking. If you're looking for genuine content and entertainment, I would suggest steering clear of this trend.

3. Sarah Johnson - 1 star

The "Witch birthmark tiktok" trend is nothing more than a laughable attempt at garnering attention on social media. It preys on people's gullibility and belief in the supernatural. These birthmarks are nothing more than a natural occurrence, like any other birthmark, and attributing them to witchcraft is simply baseless. I find it disheartening to see so many individuals jumping on this bandwagon without questioning the validity of these claims. I highly recommend avoiding this trend and focusing on more reliable and educational content.

4. Michael Thompson - 2 stars

I, like many others, was initially intrigued by the concept of "Witch birthmark tiktok." However, upon closer examination, I realized that it was all just a gimmick. The videos lack any substantial evidence or credible sources. It seems that anyone can claim to have a "witch birthmark" without any verification process. I think it's important to approach trends like these with a critical mindset and not blindly believe everything we see on social media. In the end, this trend is nothing more than a passing fad and not worth investing any time or energy into.

5. Jessica Davis - 1 star

The "Witch birthmark tiktok" trend is the epitome of pseudoscience and misinformation. It is disheartening to see so many young and impressionable individuals getting caught up in this nonsense. Birthmarks are a common occurrence and do not have any supernatural or magical connotations. Such trends only serve to spread unnecessary fear and confusion among people, especially those who may already be susceptible to believing in supernatural phenomena. I strongly advise against engaging in or promoting these types of baseless trends.
