The things we do as child

I would like to know of the rhymes and things we all did as children that can be seen as magical.

I know as a little girl I did the flower petal pulling that went "He loves me, He loves me not" and played ring around the rosy till my butt hurt. Blowing wishes into the wind with dandy lion seed puffs and gathering pine cones to throw in the fire to keep you safe when you are out in the woods.

Please if you have any from you childhood I would Love to hear them. Even if it is something you made up as a child. I feel that tapping into those times can help to make connections today.

As a child I used to sleep alone and I was frighten to death to darkness. So one night I asked to be protected and I imagined a bubble covering me and protecting me. That would be a magical thing from my childhood.

as i a child i use to sit on the stairs looking out at kids who use to have loads of fun as i could not talk till 6 or walk till i was 4 so i just use to watch ever one

When I was a child, my little friends and I would have one person in the middle of us all, then we would pat that person's arms and legs down and say "you're packed with wet sand". We would do this over and over until the person couldn't move. We would all laugh and then "take the sand out". We didn't know what it was that we were doing, it just felt neat.

Nursery rhymes, jump rope rhymes, etc. are all throwbacks to chants for protection, folklore and stories. :)

I used to talk to the flowers in my grandma's garden, and played with the spirit of the man who died in the house when I played in the basement.

I also tortured my grandparents dog by dressing it up in a dress and bonnet and putting into a carriage. Not sure how magickal that was one though =P

Healer: My sis and I used to do that to our parents' cat. Poor thing.

as a infant i started walking at if i can remember 14 months and i talked three and a half months later altho it was simply babling the work mum a hundred thousand times and i use to watch other kids play with each other and avoid me i never had real friends till i was in secondary school i use to play tetris quite alot

I was the dumb child but I understood a lot never had any "guy friends" all of them wher girls none of them wher boys. I was the nice person as well. I did a lot of psychic traning un knowingly but I stell did. I alwas took advantage over all situatons and could feel other peoples emotons and use it agenst them. I became very carsmatic at a very young age (7 years old) I alwas would find a way to place thang out even in the worst way. I may have been able to stop time because days went on like they wher many weeks. I was always more mature then the other kids alwas bigger taller and could out wit them with shear words. I would talk to spirits unknowingly and see spirits. I had a lot of pharnormal activity around the house. I heard people calling my name and saying "I will kill you" or "time to die" ( I stell do). I would like to be away from people. I had a fear of pain. Alwas liked the tasete of blood. I was never normal never like change. My life is filled with magick and forms of it as you can see.

I kept on saying.. "I already lived this life.. it all seems so familiar.." O_O. Also, in every funeral I will try to console people by explaining the idea of reincarnation... of course they let me pass because I was still in kindergarten... once I hit second grade, I was already labeled as a witch, demons, satan's daughter.. and many others.. hahaahaa.. -_- So, whatever I said.. had to be well thought... since it could come out as a curse for many.. O_o It is still the same now, but people are more sociable.. .. hahahaha..than when kids.. they all afraid..
