The Curse of Snubis is a popular folk legend that has been passed down through generations. It is said to have originated in a small village, where Snubis, a mischievous deity, was believed to roam freely. According to the legend, anyone who encountered Snubis and snubbed him would be cursed with bad luck for the rest of their lives. The curse of Snubis was said to affect all aspects of a person's life. They would experience financial difficulties, health problems, and strained relationships. It was believed that Snubis had the power to bring chaos and misfortune to anyone who offended him.

The Magic Glove

Dr. Leora Kuttner is pioneer in the field of pain management. Her demonstration of the Magic Glove technique is great example of the amazing capacity of imagination and the mind to bring comfort. The Magic Glove is a hypnotic pain management technique to reduce pain sensation and anxiety for children having a needle procedure.

Kids have amazing imaginations and hypnosis is widely used to ease pain during medical procedures. In responsive children the Magic Glove can create significant sensory changes and partial anesthesia, which can boost a child’s confidence and comfort in the ability to cope with painful and fearful procedures. This short film with 9-year old Jazze who has needle phobia, demonstrates how to use the Magic Glove. Through her focused attention, the child experiences the glove being smoothed into her hand from finger-tips up to wrist– demarcating the area in which decreased sensory awareness and numbness occurs. It is important to ‘take off the glove’ i.e. reverse the application when the procedure is over to ensure that normal sensation returns.

Who This Is Meant For

• Children 3 to 12 years old, (a fearful 14 year-old may also be responsive) with language adjusted to the developmental age of the child
• Blood draws, IV starts, vaccinations, sutures, port-a-cath access, • Use on hands, arms, feet, legs, but can be used on any body area as a ‘blankey’, patch, hat, sock, stocking etc
• Use with topical anesthetics such as EMLA . Apply the glove once the topical anesthetics has taken effect i.e. for EMLA, after 75 min

8 Elf On The Shelf Rules You Need To Remember

Whether you are a seasoned Elf on the Shelf family, or you’re bringing him into your home for the first time this year, there are lots of things to remember (mainly just to keep moving the bloody thing).

1. The elf comes out for the first time on 1 December.

Bring it out any sooner, and you’ll have to feel pretty imaginative to come up with 40 interesting hiding places.

2. And then leaves again on Christmas Eve.

Your elf will return to the North Pole on the 24 December, hitching a ride with Father Christmas when he comes to leave the presents.

3. You have to put them in a new position every day throughout December.

There is lots of inspiration on Pinterest if you’re feeling short of ideas.

4. Your child has to be in bed before you can move the elf.

The elf doesn’t move if they are being watched - another great reason to get your children into bed on time.

5. Your elf only gets their magic by being named.

Families can name their elf anything after ‘adopting’ them, but there is a pool of popular festive names available here. The top names last year were Buddy, Jingles and Snowflake.

6. They are keeping watch for Father Christmas.

The whole point of having an elf lurking around your living room for a month is that they are keeping a close eye on your children’s behaviour and feeding back to HQ, to decide whether or not there will be any presents under the tree this year.

7. Children are not allowed to touch them.

Elves are very fragile, and if they are touched by human children they lose their magic and ability to communicate with Santa.

8. If they are touched, your child has to write a letter to the North Pole apologising.

The official website also suggests singing carols with your family or sprinkling a little cinnamon next to your elf, as this works like vitamins: “It will help them get back to the North Pole where the elf doctors can check them out!”

It was believed that Snubis had the power to bring chaos and misfortune to anyone who offended him. The curse was not limited to those who intentionally snubbed Snubis. It was said that even a slight disrespect or negligence towards the deity could trigger the curse.

Don't miss any of the fun.

Many people lived in constant fear of accidentally angering Snubis, and they would go to great lengths to ensure they showed him respect. To protect themselves from the curse, villagers would offer regular sacrifices and perform rituals to appease Snubis. These rituals often involved offerings of food, flowers, and prayers. It was believed that by showing reverence and respect towards Snubis, the villagers could avoid the wrath of the curse. Over time, the legend of the Curse of Snubis spread beyond the small village, and people from neighboring towns became aware of its existence. Some dismissed it as a mere superstition, while others took precautions to avoid any potential encounters with Snubis. The Curse of Snubis serves as a cautionary tale, reminding people of the importance of showing respect and humility towards others, even if they may seem insignificant or mischievous. Whether the curse was real or not is a matter of belief, but its impact on the collective consciousness of the community cannot be denied. Today, the Curse of Snubis continues to be an intriguing tale, discussed and debated by those interested in folklore and legends. Its influence can still be seen in the practices and traditions of some communities, where respect for deities and supernatural beings is deeply ingrained..
