Re: [PDF] The Door To Witchcraft: A New Witch's
Tingting Gao
As title says, I was wandering the Throne World and noticed this door but couldn't find any crystals to shoot like in the campaign or the raid. I also find it kind of strange that it's the only piece of pyramid/darkness architecture within Witch's Echo, the rest of the area is entirely hive architecture. Also I'm pretty sure it's a door because I hit it with a sunspot melee and it ate it as if it were an entity.
Once inside, continue forward and unlock the door that leads back to the main office hub. With the door activated, climb the stairs to the top of the foyer, where you will locate both Life Seed #09 and Seed Pot #16.
From here, shoot through the fire pit to catch light to the fire pit that's found in the southwest corner. Once lit, continue lighting all four fire pits. At the final fire pit, aim through it to the door in the distance towards the northern wall, where you'll find it covered in spider webs.
With the door now uncovered, continue following the path, where you'll then find yourself inside a locked room with a golem-like enemy -- you'll need to defeat the enemy to unlock the ladder to grab the Soul Energy.
Once you're ready to continue, head through the yellow key door, and you'll encounter a library-like room. Much like Soul Energy One, you'll need to find four Blue and White themed pots to unlock the next room.
In order to continue, smash the blue and white pot found next to the bathtub, followed by the pot located on the seemly empty shelf that is reached by a ladder in the northeastern corner -- destroying these pots will reveal a secret door located directly next to the first pot we just smashed. Upon entering the secret door, you'll find the Ceramic Manor (Magic Shrine).
Once you have unlocked the door, continue to the next room and defeat all enemies on the checkboard floor to unlock the ladder at the end of the room. At the top of this ladder, you'll find Seed Pot #19.
Now that you have defeated the giant spinning pot climb the newly unlocked ladder to reach the rafters. Here, you'll need to find another two Blue and White pots in order to open the locked door. These pots are relatively straightforward and can be found when walking across the nearby wooden beams.
After picking up the Life Seed and destroying all two required pots, head through the newly opened door. This next room will be very dark, so you'll need to light all of the fire pits that can be found -- there's a lot.
Once you're ready to continue, speak with Pothead by the door and proceed to open the large ancient door -- doing so will return you to the Hall of Doors, where you'll discover a large gold and blue chest nearby.
They have also been spotted in barns once used to store grain, often around the door openings. They appear on the stonework of some of the grandest barns, such as the 15th century barn at Bradford upon Avon, Wiltshire (now in the care of English Heritage), and on the doorway of the barn at Middle Littleton, Worcestershire (a National Trust property).
The Door key is a quest item used in Witch's House, Grim Tales, and Mourning's End Part II. It is found by searching under a potted plant left of the front door of the Witch's House in Taverley. Additionally, another key spawns on the 1st floor[UK]2nd floor[US] of Nora T. Hagg's house. In Grim Tales, a key may be obtained from Princess Miazrqa after Rupert has been freed.
Easter witches (Swedish: påskkärring, 'easter hag',[1] 'easter witch',[1] Finland Swedish: påskhäxa, 'easter witch', Finnish: trulli, 'trulli') is an old Swedish legend about witches flying to Blockula (Swedish: Blåkulla, Blå Jungfrun) on brooms on the Thursday before Easter (Maundy Thursday, sv:Skärtorsdagen) or on the night between the Wednesday (Holy Wednesday, sv:Dymmelonsdag) and Thursday before, and returning on Easter.[2] In modern times children dress up as witches, old ladies or in old men's clothing and go door to door distributing greetings and often receiving treats in return.[3]
In the 17th century, fear of witches caused brutal persecution of innocent women and trials. More than 200 women were tortured to death in Sweden. The last woman was wrongfully sentenced in 1704 but it was not until 1779 that the death penalty for witchcraft was repealed. Because of this during this time period doors and dampers were secured to guard against the travel of the witches to Blåkulla to meet the Devil. Any tools the witches could use on their trip were put away on Maundy Thursday. Barn doors were secured to prevent the witches from milking or riding the animals.[4]
In Sweden and Finland, it is an Easter tradition for children to dress as witches, old women and old men and go door to door for treats similar to the trick-or-treating tradition of Halloween on Maundy Thursday or the day before Easter (Holy Saturday).[5] The children sometimes present hand-made cards and other greetings.[2] Related to warding off witchcraft and at a similar time of year is the Walpurgis Night celebration.
According to this myth, the bottom two panels of a six-panel wooden door were designed to represent an open Bible, and the middle stile and rail were meant to form a cross. This story is trotted out to show how pious our ancestors were. Or how laughably superstitious they were to think this would ward off witches.
A complete failure in debunking this. And the more I look at my own door, the more I want to replace it for the very chance this may be true.
My wife, daughter, and many of our friends are witches and if there is any truth to this, that door has to go!
The witches recite a traditional rhyme at the door: Virvon, varvon, tuoreeks terveeks, tulevaks vuodeks; vitsa sulle, palkka mulle! (In translation: I wave a twig for a fresh and healthy year ahead; a twig for you, a treat for me!)
Like any magick, hanging a broom above the door is only as effective as your intention. Rituals are a great way to set these intentions, and to send energy towards your goal, need, or desire. This is a cleansing and consecration ritual for hanging a broom over the door to ward off unwanted energy. You will need:
Folk stories, whether told over a campfire in 17th-century New England or a Disney movie from the last 75 years, portray witchy women as the villain. Cautionary tales meant to protect children also have a way of vilifying a particular kind of person. Karen thinks it is pretty cool that a witch lives next door until she sees this woman officiating the wedding between her dad and Elizabeth Thomas-Brewer (Alicia Silverstone). The ear-piercing scream of terror reveals just how much she fears the proximity of the woman she calls Morbidda Destiny.

The recipe was still known in a Norfolk village in 1939:Take a stone bottle, make water in it, fill it with your own toe-nails and finger-nails, iron nails and anything which belongs to you. Hang the bottle over the fire and keep stirring it. The room must be in darkness; you must not speak or make a noise. The witch will come to your door and make a lot of noise and beg you to open the door and let her in. If you do not take any notice, but keep silent, the witch will burst. The strain on the mind of the person when the witch is begging to be let in is usually so great that the person often speaks and the witch is set free. (E. G. Bales, Folk-Lore 50 (1939), 67)

The Door key is obtained by searching under a flower pot left of the front door of the witch's house in Taverley. It is used to unlock the front door of the witch's house during the Witch's House and Grim Tales quests.
Today, based on a suggestion from reader Jason M., we try to figure out what the heck was behind the locked doors in Scarlet Witch's house in New Avengers #26 (this story has been referred to so many times as being about Scarlet Witch's CLOSET that I originally intended on just sticking with that terminology. I decided to change it the more accurate "closed doors", but I kept it as closet for our CBR headline because its more famously known as the closet story)...
