You'll get sacrificed and put into a cauldron for a spell. Strange people in that part of the world.

I've always wanted to do that. Please go so I can live vicariously through you.

Don't monkey with the buzzsaw
A song from 'The Lancashire Witches' (Thomas Shadwell)
Chor. of 3 parts.
Welcome, welcome, happy be, in this blest Society.
1. Men and Beasts are in thy Power,
Thou canst Save, and canst Devour,
Thou canst Bless, and Curse the Earth,
And cause Plenty, or a Dearth.
2. O're Natures Powers thou canst prevail,
Raise Winds, bring Snow, or Rain, or Hail;
Without their Causes, and canst make
The steady Course of Nature shake.
3. Thou canst mount upon the Clouds,
And skim o're the ruggid Floods;
Thou canst dive to the Sands below,
And through the sollid earth canst go.
4. Thou'lt open Looks, or through a Chink
Shalt creep for daintiest Meat and Drink.
Thou maist sleep on tops of Trees,
And lye in Flowers like Humble Bees.
5. Revenge, revenge, the sweetest part
Of all thou hast by thy black Art.
On Heaven thou ne're shalt fix thy mind,
For here 'tis Heav'n to plague mankind.
They Dance with fantastick unusual postures...

So many particulars. So many questions.
I sort of had in mind Alice Nutter, hanged as a "witch", but you may have a point.
I'll leave Bingo to her/his own Devices. It sounds like a fun thing to do, actually.
I just had to Google for "big fish, little fish, cardboard box". Now I can say that I actually DO use the internet for educational purposes.
(A bit cruel to the fish, though. I must write to the BBC and complain.
)
I've only just seen this thread
When I was a teenager we walked up the nick of Nick of Pendle every Halloween. When we got to the top we acted the goat a bit then came back down again.
Goat as Horned God?
Where are you from Celyn?Goat as Horned God?
In Burnley and around, if anyone was being silly, larking about they were 'acting the goat' according their parents
But did you know that already?

From Glasgow, (with some wanderings to Fife, Surrey, Aberysytwyth, London.) Yes, my parents also used the phrase. "That's enough! Stop acting the goat!" and I'd often think "well, if you will call us "kids", what do you expect?" but probably didn't say it out loud.
It was a sort of joke, with reference to goats, Pan, Cerunnos, horned deities in general. I didn't mean to confuse or offend.
I thought it was a joke but I just wondered if you were aware of the phrase.It was a sort of joke, with https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hph...=483aabe7efda343c319fd4ec9fcab0b4&oe=54F08ADE to goats, Pan, Cerunnos, horned deities in general. I didn't mean to confuse or offend.
No offence taken, I didn't suspect any. I thought you may have been from Burnley
