vampire venti had 24% of the votes, but here are shorts prompts for the others that didn't win.

Demon Barbatos (Venti) 15.2%

Barbatos (aka venti) as the literal actual demon barbatos from the spinoff of the christian bible, making a pact with you aka you're selling your soul to venti.

Siren Barbatos (Venti) 14%

Barbatos with a fishtail, or maybe just fins, serenades you, and one day you get dragged to the bottom of the sea by him (and may or may not turn you into one too, afterwards)

Fae Venti 11.8%

you find a good looking young man in a circle of cecilia flowers. others warned you not to go, but it can't be dangerous considering the young man with the lyre is standing in it too. so you step in and give him your name (which you should never do when dealing with fae)

Fae Barbatos (Venti) 9.6%

barbatos as leanan sidhe, becoming your lover and giving you inspiration beyond imagination. all at the low low price of your life.

Ghost Venti 5.6%

you hear a haunting melody in the place you pass by every night. OR: venti possessing you/ parts of you to have some fun

Hexenmeister (witchmaster) Venti 5.6%

venti put a spell on you, and now you're his.

Harpy Barbatos (Venti) 5.1%

barbatos picking you out of a field, mid flight deciding you'd make a great final addition for his nest. don't worry, he'll take care of you feed you... but the nest isn't complete without eggs, is it?

"monster under the bed" Venti 4.5%

venti with a somewhat montrous appearance, drags you under your bed and has his way with you.

Nightmare Barbatos (Venti) 4.5%

(this was a mistake on my part. should've written "incubus barbatos") visits you in your dream and... well, you know.

[winnetou-oldshatterhand]

Hoffe, es ist okay, dass ich das frage, aber gibt es eine FanFic (englisch oder deutsch) wo Winnetou warum auch immer Old Shatterhand in Deutschland besucht? Ich weiß nicht warum, aber ich fände so eine Fic voll nice, wo er mal sieht, wie (scheiße lol) Old Shatterhand sonst lebt und er ihn vielleicht sogar überreden kann, im Westen zu bleiben.

Hi, ja, da gibt es definitiv die ein oder andere - ganz abgesehen davon, dass Winnetou Old Shatterhand auch im Canon in Deutschland besucht, in der Satan und Ischariot Trilogie. Das bedeutet auch, dass es relativ wenig ausführliche Fanfic dazu gibt, hauptsächlich AU Versionen von diesen Szenen aus Satan und Ischariot.

Ich habe zum Beispiel ein bisschen Inspiration in meiner Drabble Fic über Arten, auf die man Ich liebe dich sagen kann aus Winnetou in Dresden genommen.

Aber hey, vielleicht nehme ich diesen Ask auch als Prompt und schreibe dir die Fic einfach selbst XD

Anyways, Satan und Ischariot Teil 2, ab Seite 248, im Kapitel "Ein Millionär."

"Eines Sonnabends saßen wir nach der Uebungsstunde beisammen, um über ein Konzert zu milden Zwecken zu verhandeln, da kam der Wirt in unser separates Zimmer und teilte mir mit:

"Es sind zwei Herren da, welche mit Ihnen sprechen wollen."

"Wer ist's?"

"Ich kenne sie nicht. Der eine ist ein junger, sehr anständiger Herr, der andere aber ein ganz eigentümlicher dunkelfarbiger Mensch. Er spricht kein Wort, nimmt den Hut nicht an und sieht einen mit seinen Augen an, daß man sich ganz unheimlich fühlt."

"Scharlieh!" rief es da unter der offen gebliebenen Thür.

Ich sprang schnell auf. Scharlieh pflegte Winnetou meinen deutschen Vornamen auszusprechen. Und da stand er unter der Thür! Winnetou, der berühmte Häuptling der Apatschen in Dresden! Und wie sah der gewaltige Krieger aus! Eine dunkle Hose, eine ebensolche Weste, um welche ein Gürtel geschnallt war, einen kurzen Saccorock; in der Hand einen starken Stock und auf dem Kopfe einen hohen Cylinderhut, den er nicht abgenommen hatte! Ich erzähle die Thatsache in einfacher, kurzer Weise, brauche aber wohl kaum zu versichern, daß meine Ueberraschung, mein Erstaunen, ihn hier zu sehen, wenigstens ebenso groß wie mein Entzücken darüber war.

Ich sprang auf ihn zu; er kam mir ebenso rasch entgegen; auf halbem Wege fielen wir uns in die Arme. Wir küßten uns wieder und immer wieder, betrachteten uns in den Zwischenpausen und brachen schließlich in ein herzliches Gelächter aus, was bei dem Apatschen noch nie vorgekommen war. Die Gestalt, in welcher er seinen Shatterhand vor sich sah, war gar so zahm, und die Figur, welche der tapferste Krieger der Apatschen bildete, war so friedlich und drollig, daß ein Hexenmeister dazu gehört hätte, sich des Lachens zu enthalten."

Karl May schreibt weiter, dass er Winnetou schon oft nach Deutschland eingeladen hat, der aber nie kommen wollte. Der Chor singt Winnetou noch einige Lieder, bevor sie in Karls Wohnung zurückkehren und die Handlung des Buches besprechen.

Offensichtlich geht es Karl zu diesem Zeitpunkt in Deutschland relativ gut, und er ist glücklich, zu reisen, und in Deutschland Zeit zu verbringen. Mir fällt gerade ehrlichgesagt keine Stelle in den Büchern ein, in der es Karl in Deutschland wirklich mies geht, gab es da eine, die diese Frage inspiriert hat?

What is Hexerei?

♦️⭐🔷 There's a lot of incorrect rumors, superstition, and all around unnecessary fear-mongering concerning Hexerei, a Pennsylvania Dutch and Germanic form of witchcraft. I myself, and my family are Pennsylvania Dutch. We grew up with the culture, the community, the beliefs, the spirits, and the magic. There is a lot of superstition both inside and outside of the PA Dutch community about witches and their practices.

For many years, rumors swirled around about witches sickening animals, ritually sacrificing animals, witches hurling deadly curses at everyone in their path, and other ridiculous notions. Bad things happened in these earlier times, especially before the age of technology, medicine, and scientific advancements. Rather than trying to understand it, and lacking adequate information, people of course looked for a scapegoat to blame. Almost everything was assumed to be witchcraft rather than unfortunate events and lack of available knowledge and technology to help. Scapegoats were usually older, single or widowed women and sometimes men who were more introverted and kept to themselves.

The men and women who practiced Hexerei were generally quiet about their practices years ago. They carried with them the powerful, older Heideglaawe (heathen beliefs) and spiritual beliefs when they immigrated to Pennsylvania and other areas of the United States. They were referred to as heathens. Most didn't target animals for harm. Most didn't curse people unless they needed to and had no other options. They were simply families of remaining pagans and non-religious spiritualists who kept their beliefs a secret to reduce the risk of community mobbing and retaliation. Hexerei Practitioners ranged from White Arts, to Grey arts, to Dark Arts, and rarely, Black arts, though it was wrongly assumed that Hexerei is a strictly Black arts type of Magic. This was due to others occasionally finding the sixth and seventh books of Moses in deceased relatives' belongings (The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses have NOTHING to do with true Hexerei! This is another common misconception, this is different type of magic)

♦️⭐🔷 WHAT IS HEXEREI? ♦️⭐🔷

♦️⭐🔷 Pennsylvania Dutch Hexerei is a form of old, powerful rural witchcraft that encompasses working with both light and dark magic, utilizing your own energy, as well as natural energy sources. Hexes (German and Pennsylvania Dutch witches) work with nature, weather, planets, sun, moon, stars, herbs, roots, stones, oils, powders, magic staffs, trees, written words, spoken words, painted symbols, hex signs, barn stars, wooden effigies, metals, hex bags, coins, and farm tools. Dream and astral work, a practice to be mastered known as Draamerei (Dreamcraft, or continued practice of dreaming and astral projecting), is important to them. Hexes frequently work with various spirits, such as elemental spirits, house spirits, and field spirits, with tree spirits often coming forward as helpful guides. Star People were occasionally mentioned in old stories and beliefs, sometimes being tied to certain, rare hex signs featuring specific stars, colors, and patterns, and were thought to bring messages. Hexes have their own belief system (Hexeglaawe) and unique practices. Hexes believe in taking care of and working with nature, plants, trees, spirits, and animals, treating them with respect. Independence, awareness, effort, cunning, strength of character are encouraged. This is mainly due to living in isolation on vast areas of farm land near remote wilderness, they're in tune with nature. Historically, magic, spirits, and entities were all around Pennsylvania and Germany. We had written words and letters that were rich in magical knowledge and wisdom, we had interesting supernatural stories and legends, and we were surrounded by many, many different types of spirits everywhere, as they were part of daily life!♦️⭐🔷

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BRAUCHEREI PRACTITIONERS, HEXENMEISTERS, AND HEXEREI PRACTITIONERS?

Braucherei practitioners were Christians who practiced a type of Christian witchcraft utilizing verses from the Bible, as well as their own spells, usually for spiritual aura healing and cleansing. They were White magic practitioners who genuinely tried to help people and the community.

Hexenmeisters were Christians who practiced Christian witchcraft utilizing verses from the Bible, as well as their own spells and methods. Some were White magic practitioners, though they were generally Grey magic practitioners, and sometimes even Dark Magic practitioners. They utilized dark magic to fight against those who've they suspected of sending bad luck, illnesses, droughts, curses, etc. The State of Pennsylvania once used to issue Hexenmeister licences decades ago to those who practiced and wanted a more formal certificate to verify their abilities. Many genuinely helped people with a variety of issues, though there were some Hexenmeisters who had used their magic to commit spiritual wrongdoing.

Heide: The Heide is a Pennsylvania Dutch and German term for Heathens, also known as pagans. Heideglaawe translates to Heathen beliefs. There were many Heathens who practiced their religion in Pennsylvania, and some areas were even named after them as they were known to gather in these sacred places.

Hexerei Practitioners: Germanic Pagans and non-religious spiritualists who practiced a unique form of witchcraft utilizing old Germanic Pagan charms and spells from old spiritual writings and spoken traditions, as well as other nature-based spells and traditions they've created. Hexes (Germanic and Pennsylvania Dutch Witches) ranged from White magic and Grey magic practitioners (most common), to Dark magic, and on occasion, Black magic practitioners. Dark and Black magic were used to obtain spiritual justice and spiritual vengeance when other options didn't work or simply weren't available. Many Hexes were genuinely interested in helping people, as well as honoring spirits, animals, and the land. They were often the target for misunderstanding since pagan religions were especially vilified during this time, often due to lack of information.

Supernatural beliefs were common and well-accepted, especially in Pennsylvania, until stories of "witch hysteria" spread throughout the country's newspapers, which attached a negative stigma to Brauchers, Hexenmeisters, Heathens, and Hexerei Practitioners. Because of this, many beliefs and practices were kept top secret for fear of career ruin, harassment, threats, and social ostracization. Hexenmeister licenses were revoked, beliefs were mocked, and there were many attempts by the government at the time to eliminate occult practices altogether. Some family traditions and beliefs were lost, and the use of Pennsylvania Dutch language dwindled, as grandparents and parents decided against teaching children and apprentices for worry of systemic retaliation. Today, many of our beliefs, traditions, culture, writings are being rediscovered by those same descendants, as new interest and curiosity in those same practices emerges once again.

Be sure to follow our blog and our shops. We currently don't teach Hexerei or any other magic due to our schedule, however, if you have interest in Pennsylvania Dutch and German traditions, beliefs, and information, you may read our product listings and our blog. We have many products that relate to Pennsylvania Dutch and Germanic Hexerei. Our listings are informative and many include historical information. We don't pressure anyone to purchase anything that they don't want or need. Thank you for reading, and many blessings! ♦️⭐🔷
