Hello again!

For a reason or another, Flickr refused to receive the uploaded images, all uploads ending up timing out. I had to use Google Images for these photos. That kind of sucks, since it kind of messes up links.

Wizards going out to sell magical twigs for candy and stuff.

Our Finnish (pagan) Easter witch tradition comes similar to the Celtic Halloween tradition in that the kids go out dressed up as witches and wizards, and instead of begging for treats, try to get people to buy their twigs for sweets and goods.

I don't really know if trick-or-treaters have rhymes but our Easter witches do:

"Virvon varvon tuoreeks terveeks, tulevaks vuodeks, vitsa sulle palkka mulle!"

^--- that's the simplest one, while there are some older and even better rhymes, but I can't remember them all. I searched the web and found plenty of cool rhymes, but they may be somewhat difficult for today's kids to learn by heart.

The same goes a bit like this in English:

"[casting spells] of good and health for the coming year, twig for you pay for me"

(Virvon varvon is a bit like a spell casting; e.g. "abracadabra", although it could be understood as "I'm casting a spell with this twig".)

Anyway, our boys did good, and here's their earnings for the day:

Pays well to be a wizard...

That's it for today...

I'll be back tomorrow with new photos. Can't do today's weeklie today because of tiredness, but I'll try creating it also tomorrow.
