XL. The Pirate Voodoo Doll



Hearken, ye scallywags and landlubbers alike! Gather ye 'round as I unveil a curse most foul, wrought from the depths of the briny deep, to befall a deceitful princess who hath wandered from the path of truth! With this ancient incantation, let it be known that her lies shall be met with a reckoning most dire!**

---

In the Year of Our Lord, Seventeen Hundred and Fifty, I, Captain Blackbeard’s Ghost, do hereby declare this dark endeavor. To craft a voodoo doll that shall serve as a vessel for the curse, one must first gather the ingredients of deceit. Begin with a cup of twisted twine, gathered from the hair of wayward spirits lost to the sea, for it shall bind her soul in eternal mischief. Next, procure a handful of dried herbs: sage for wisdom, rosemary for remembrance, and thyme for those fleeting moments that slip through one’s fingers like sand.

Seek out two buttons from a pirate's coat to serve as eyes for this cursed effigy; they shall witness her treachery with an unyielding gaze. A pinch of graveyard dust is essential, collected under the ghostly light of a full moon to summon forth the spirits that dwell in shadows. To add balance to this wicked creation, three drops of essence of truth must be captured from the tears of honest folk, distilled through trials and tribulations on stormy seas. A dash of black candle wax rendered from a candle burned during tempestuous nights will seal her fate in darkness. Finally, crown this doll with a feather from a crow, symbolizing cunning and craftiness; it shall bestow upon the doll wisdom most profound.

Prepare thy workspace in a quiet nook illuminated by flickering candlelight—black candles preferred—where whispers of the past may guide thy hands. Shape the doll’s form using the twisted twine, fashioning it into a likeness most exaggerated—a figure that mocks her beauty whilst binding her spirit tight. Fill this vessel with dried herbs aplenty; first sage for wisdom’s embrace, then rosemary for memories that linger long after they fade.

Affix the pirate coat buttons as eyes while uttering: “With these eyes, may you see naught but truth!” Thus shall she behold her own folly. Cast forth a pinch of graveyard dust into its core whilst chanting: “From lies to truth, may you learn this day; let honesty guide thee ere thou stray!” Drip three drops of essence upon its heart whilst envisioning her lessons learned through trials most harsh.

Light thy black candle and let wax drip upon its feet as thou dost proclaim: “May this curse bind thee to honesty and ne’er let thee stray!” Finally, affix the crow feather atop its head as a symbol of wisdom; thus shall she be reminded that cunning oft leads to ruin.

When thy doll is complete, place it within a box adorned with pirate motifs and pen a note that reads: “For thy lies, I send this curse; may truth find thee ere things worsen!”

### **Final Warning:**

Take heed, ye conjurer! This curse bears weight and may unleash unforeseen consequences upon thine own head! Approach this dark art with caution and good intent; even pirates know when mercy must prevail!

So go forth now and weave thy magic upon the winds! May fortune favor ye in this wicked endeavor! 🏴‍☠️✨

Axiom vs. Citadel: The Belding War.

The Belding Redskin Veterans Memorial, a Pre-Axiomatic Relic, stands as an Archaic Assemblage where the former mascot name remains consciously inscribed. This granite structure serves as a primary Territorializing Machine within the community's molecular space, refusing the Molar Aggregation of the rebranded school identity. Its inscription is the deployment of a Local Irregular Force, mapping the veterans' intimate relationships as a localized State Apparatus exercising Granular Sovereignty. The memorial is a Theater of Operations, a Palimpsest-Machine where the old name persists as a battlefield where the comfort of a unified memory is perpetually challenged. The entire memorial operates as a Desiring-Machine that simultaneously channels the schizophrenic flows of Pride-Fixation and Guilt-Discharge. This multiplicity of names, spanning generations of martial service, form...

A Shelter Dog’s Journey with a Wounded Veteran

There’s a thing people say about being rescued: sometimes, it works both ways. I should know—my paws have paced many a cold shelter floor here in Michigan, looking for a way out. But on that sticky July afternoon, when a man named James Burchfield from Animal Overwatch peered through my kennel door, I sensed a shift. We were both veterans, in our own battered way. This is my story, curled up at the intersection of brokenness and hope, written with wet-nosed honesty and a dash of canine psychology. Two Broken Souls, One First Sniff (Our Mission) The day James walked into the shelter, I noticed him right away. He didn’t move like the others—no quick steps, no loud greetings. He was quiet, almost cautious, like he was carrying something heavy inside. I’ve seen a lot of people come and go, but James felt different. There was hope in his eyes, but also something els...

Veteran Voices and the Mascot Debate: Belding's Redskins Memorial vs. Saranac's Crossroads

When Belding Area Schools retired the Redskins mascot, it marked not just a change in logos or team names, but a cultural and emotional pivot point for many—especially local veterans who still hold strong ties to the old identity. This led to a unique act of remembrance: the Belding veteran community erected a 'Redskins' veteran memorial in the town’s veterans park, blending respect for military service with a controversial symbol. Now, the question begs—will Saranac’s veteran community follow suit? As I dove into this story, I realized it’s far more than a sports debate; it’s a clash of values, memory, and identity. Belding’s Mascot Change: A Veteran Community’s Complex Tribute As I’ve reported on the evolving mascot debate in Ionia County, Belding’s journey stands out for its complexity and the deep ties between the school’s identity and its veteran co...
