The protective magic of Easter candles. [French Folks Traditions.]

The fragments of Easter candles and other wax seals distributed by the priest constitute powerful protective amulets, whose power seems superior to that of Candlemas candles. In the Vosges, they attract money, and a person who suddenly makes a fortune is said to have "robbed a church on Easter Day." Elsewhere, on Easter Monday, a fragment of a candle is hung behind the front door of the house for protection; this Easter wax is also used to ward off lightning. In the Alps, a few drops of wax are dripped into water, which take on the appearance of flowers, then thrown into the fireplace during a storm.

The Easter candle also has a particularly effective effect against witches. It is slipped into the sockets of cows' horns so that they cannot be milked from a distance ; or into a child's shoe or cradle to protect them from evil spells. It also happens that several buttons of Easter candle wax are glued onto or into the butt of a rifle, so as to be effective against werewolves.

I have never written a fanfic in my life, but this "Code LYOKO 10-15 years later AU" just keeps writing itself in my head. We'll see where this goes lol To get ahead of this: I always wished Sissi and Jim couldve actually retained their character development and join the group, so theyre also here now. And Clone!William is still alive. Dont look it up.

Carnival and "Mardi-Gras". [French Folks Traditions] part 2 : Masks and disguises.

If they are rudimentary, they generally symbolize the abolition of social and sexual barriers, but also animal and human. Men dressed as women (and vice versa), paper masks, widespread accoutrements, blackening of the face or even part of the body with shoe polish or charcoal (a well-known Celtic tradition), animal adornments (such as animal skins, horn crowns), are common.

In the Vallespir valley (Pyrenees) for example, the bear is honored in a dramatization that depicts its hunt while it tries to capture a woman.

[schembartläufer-nuremberg-facsimile-published-in-1897]

The Cavalcades : Rabelais (in his Quart Livre) speaks of a mannequin named "Mâche-croutte" ~ "Chew-the-Crust" ~ who was paraded in Lyon. This (popular) dragon was a "monstrous, ridiculous, hideous and terrible effigy in the eyes of small children : it had eyes larger than its belly, a head larger than the rest of its body, with large and horrific, very serrated jaws [...] which are regularly snapped in a terrifying way."

A few centuries later (18th century) Mâche-Croute, who no longer appears in the Carnival, becomes a bogeyman used to scare children.

Sissi 7/7

[vincenzonova]

So my CL project is as much of an AU as it is a sequel. That said, I always felt like Sissi would be such a strong addition to the group, so here she is. Don't be completely fooled by her devilish appearance- on top of being a great fighter with a Toya Staff, she's also the group's healer.
