BottlesI have heard of bottles being dug up containing objects put into them by witches.
Anyone know about this and what the bottles did exactly.
Also the burying of cats and dogs under new houses.
What was that all about?

Empathatic magic? Bury the aspects of a persons being in a bottle. Only the person burying it has the power to release the 'genie' ?
Don't know if you refer to glass bottles but i've seen it with clay jars scribed with various binding sigils and the like. Problem is that its only effective, really, especially in this day and age if the 'victim' is aware of the charm.
works best in the footpath of the persons travels.
If the maleificent worker meets the victim he can dig up the charm for a while, release it, when they are out of contact he buries it again. the victim, if worked, will associoate the dastardly deviant with creating an air of freedom and contentment in his prescence, and when away he will feel incarcerated and lonely.
Thats what I would hazard a guess at.
No idea about cat or dog though in the house though.

There's a thing called a 'Witch Bottle'. You fill the bottle (or jar) with broken glass, pins, nails, razors - anything sharp, then you urinate into the bottle and seal it and bury it somewhere where (hopefully) it will never be discovered.
The idea of this is to protect you from the dark magick of other Witches and doo-ers of magick.
Cats and Dogs. I don't think this is a Witchcraft thing but at some point in the past (no idea of dates) it was considered "lucky" to wall up a live beast when building a new house or building.
In some of the older Cathedrals they used to wall up live humans thinking it would ensure the long life of the building.
Nice.

Well thanks for the information.
I wonder if the Egyptians sealed live people into the pyramids with their dead masters in order to create a guardian entity by using the victims life force.
You can just imagine the energy that this act of human sacrifice would produce and the use that old mages would try to put it to.
