Tukaram (Tim) Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Well when they were pouring cement for the column feet they did throw in some coins. I jokingly said that was their lunch money. So when they killed whatever they killed to put blood on each column of the completed house... I was not invited ha ha My wife had an allergic reaction to something recently. She went to a real doctor and got antihistamines and other meds. It is almost completely cleared up in a day and a half...but she is still going to the witch doctor tomorrow. I laugh about it, but I know you can't train it out of them (and she calls them the witch doctor now too!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virginprune Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 When we commenced our build we did the Padugo ritual and put coins in every column. We only used one white chicken, maybe that's why it is taking so long!! We will be having a house blessing with a priest, as is the cultural norm! I am happy to indulge my SO in this as it is part of the housewarming ritual before the Pork and Pilsen bit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good vibes and joy all around.:) Hear hear. The old maxim 'honour the local gods and drink the local wine'. That's an SMB for me please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginprune as far as I know the padugo ritual only requires the bloodletting of one white chicken:) Scott must have gotten double treatment:) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support scott h Posted June 15, 2016 Forum Support Posted June 15, 2016 22 hours ago, Queenie O. said: Scott must have gotten double treatment:) My theory is since we had a double size crew, they said they needed two white chickens because the normal 1 wouldn't have been enough for lunch for all of them. Anyway, that's my theory and I am sticking to it!!!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the only reason they want a house blessing is to bless their tummy again with some free food and booz :D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
