It felt like the title of the movie itself, Barsha came to screens after a long search. The movie became the biggest hit of 2010. Barsha became an overnight hit of the Bangladesh film industry. She didn't have to look back – she went onto appear on higher budgeted films with Ananta Jalil. After several requests, Barsha and Ananta agreed to sit with Showbiz team for a short interview during shooting the final scenes of “Most Welcome 2”. Ananta Jalil's interview has been published in our 35th issue. During the same interview, at first, Barsha was sitting behind us on a couch, resting. While I was asking questions to Ananta, many of the answers were coming from the back – I could tell that Barsha couldn't wait to join us. Although my initial plan was to take separate interviews, Ananta called her to join us. I was asking questions to both of them, back-and-forth. Ananta Jalil, the tough guy on Bangladeshi cinema didn't take time to answer any of my questions, but Barsha thought twice every time. I could tell, she is not just another actor with the right looks and curves, she's got the brains to take her career further. Along with their photo-shoot session and our interview, it was evident to me that they are madly in love with each other. Like we see in movies, they almost finish each other's sentences. So, here it is – the gist of our lighthearted conversation.  </em></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 10px; text-align: left;"> <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">What kind of girl were you as a child?</em></strong><br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />I was a very simple girl, the quiet type. I wasn't very naughty and wasn't a flirt at all.  <br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />What if you are offered with a role which has intimate scenes or has to wear revealing clothes or bikini?  <br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />I have always been saying, for me, one thing is just plain impossible - to wear any revealing clothes, forget about bikini!<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">What is the favourite part of your body?</em></strong><br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />My curves – I mean my slender figure.   <br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">So, what is your waist number?</em></strong><br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />(Laughing) Let it be a secret. Forget the numbers game - just know that I love my figure and I try to maintain it sacredly.<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">If you had to change anything of your body, through plastic surgery, what would you change?</em></strong><br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />I don't feel I need to change anything. Many actors change their nose, eyes or teeth. I feel fortunate that what Allah has given me is enough. I don't need any change.  <br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /> </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 10px; text-align: left;"> <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;"><br />If my acting managed to bring that much emotion out of you, I think I was successful what I did. It is not just you that I am hearing this from; many have appreciated my acting in that movie.<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"> </span>When was the last time you lied?</em></strong><br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />I can't remember, really! I didn't have to in the recent past.<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">What kind of guys do you like?</em></strong><br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />(Looking a bit hesitant having Ananta sitting beside her) Hmm… AJ style, Ananta Jalil style! I mean Ananta Jalil type of guys. But, I don't think there is another like him anywhere.<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">That was too diplomatic, give me real answer!</strong></em><br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />Ok, then! Someone handsome, with good status and behavior as a lover, as a husband, as a friend – there I go again, Ananta is the all square. So, I don't have to look away from home, Ananta is just the type of guy I like.<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">You one clever cookie! So, tell me, before you knew Ananta many guys must've tried to take you out?</em></strong><br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />(Again, looking a bit hesitant and shy, laughingly) Well, I share all my past with Ananta. I have no problem revealing something new in front of Ananta. I grew up in Sirajganj and when I was a senior at high school, I started receiving many love letters – some were anonymous and some were not. That's it, really!<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">Oh, come on! Share a bit more please.</em></strong><img alt="Barsha" height="640" src="http://www.thedailystar.net/upload/gallery/image/arts/barsha1.jpg" width="396" /><br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />No, really nothing more than that ever happened. Like I said, I was a very simple and quiet girl. I never let anything go any further. Since you're insisting, I once received one letter written in blood. I have no idea whether it was human blood or some animal blood.<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">What was written on that letter?</em></strong><br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />You know, “I love you” type things… I just threw it away. I was sure it was written with chicken blood.<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">What if you were not an actress? What would you be?</em></strong><br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />A Police Super! (Every one laughing while Ananta comments, “All the policemen would've been very happy to have you”).  This is not something new – I have been saying this for a very long time. Even this morning for some reason I told Ananta that my dream was to be a Police Super.    <br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">What scares you the most?</em></strong><br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />Snakes! Even when I watch snakes on TV I get scared. There was an incident when I was young. Just outside the room I used to live in had a Hasna Hena (Night-blooming Jasmine) tree. You know the fragrance of the flowers at night attracts snakes. I was walking towards my room and noticed a large snake under the tree. I don't know if my phobia grew from that incident, but I am still petrified by snakes. Call me superstitious, but every time I dream about snakes, I find my next day to be a bad day.<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">What annoys you the most?</em></strong><br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />I hate self-gloating people. Those people who keep glorifying themselves really annoy me the most.<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />What is the best gift you have ever received?   <br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />My love, Ananta! We both say to each other, if one of us passes away the other one wouldn't be able to live long in sorrow.<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">What is your favourite location for vacation?</em></strong><br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />Spain, Barcelona. Let me tell you why; take Switzerland for example, it is a country so beautiful that it looks better than what you see on postcards or in TV. But after a few days, you will have nothing left to do in Switzerland. But Barcelona, you can go watch a football match, go to a disco, go shopping or you can go to the beach. Even the buildings look like they are crafted with gems – especially Barcelona at night is beyond dreams.  <br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">You character in Nishwartha Bhalobasha made me hate you! Why did you agree to do such role?</em></strong></div> </td></tr> </tbody></table> </div>

His grandfather, another towering figure in Bangla literature, had passed six years before his birth, too, so Satyajit could not really be directly influenced by his ancestry. He graduated in Economics from the Presidency College, but his mother Suprabha Ray always knew that her son's calling would be in fine arts, and insisted that he go study at Tagore's Visva Bharati University. There he found his interest in oriental arts, from the likes of Nandalal Bose and Benod Behari Chowdhury, and after graduating, began work in an advertising firm DJ Keymer as a visualiser. Later, during his stint at Signet Press, he designed covers of a number of books, including Jibanananda Das's “Banalata Sen” and “Ruposhi Bangla”, Bibhutibhushan's “Chander Pahar”, Jim Corbett's “Maneaters of Kumaon”, and Jawaharlal Nehru's “Discovery of India”, but the work that really stuck with him was a children's version of the Bibhutibhushan classic “Pather Panchali”, renamed as “Aam Antir Bhepu”. He would go on to make it the subject of his first film, bringing his illustrations to life on the camera.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;">His fascination for cinema was not an overnight whim either. He founded the Calcutta Film Society in '47, screening mostly foreign films.y. When he was sent to London by his office for three months, Ray went on a spree and watched 99 films – something that would shape his life and legacy in years to come.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;">Starting work on “Pather Panchali” was not easy. His savings went into it, and despite having amateur actors and an inexperienced crew on board, expenses were hard to meet. The shoestring-budget film was completed on a grant from the West Bengal government, after three years in the making. The film was unlike anything anyone had seen in Indian cinema, and drew attention from the biggest film critics of the world. It won 11 international awards including Best Humane Documentary at Cannes in 1955. Over the next years, he would make “Aparijito” and “Apur Sansar”, completing the Apu trilogy, in all of which he did the scripting, casting, scoring, editing, and designed his own credit titles and publicity material.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;">Ray considered his 1964 film “Charulata”, based on Tagore's short story “Nashtanirh”, as his work with the least flaws; it is also widely considered his most accomplished work. But in the meantime, he had made “Kanchenjungha”, “Mahanagar”, “Teen Kanya” and “Kapurush O Mohapurush”. After that, he began taking on challenges of varying genres, including “Nayak” (starring Uttam Kumar and Sharmila Tagore), musical fantasy “Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne” and Aranyer Dinratri”, based on a novel by then-young and promising writer Sunil Gangopadhyay. Addressing contemporary Bengali life, he made a thematic 'Calcutta Trilogy' of “Protidhwoni”, “Seemabodhho” and “Jana Aranys” in the seventies, as long as bringing on screen his immortal character, Feluda the sleuth, with “Sonar Kella” and “Joy Baba Felunath”. In 1977, he would make his first non-Bangla film, “Shatranj Ke Khiladi”, set in Lucknow a year before the Revolution of 1857.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;">In 1983, he suffered a heart attack while filming “Ghaire Baire” based on Tagore's novel, that he had written the first draft for in the '40s. His son took the camera to complete it. His last three films were shot mostly indoors as his health gave in slowly.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;">Ray won a staggering 32 Indian National Film Awards, along with accolades from all the major awards worldwide; Cannes, Venice, Moscow, and Berlin Film Festivals, and 24 days before he would pass away, he received an honorary Academy Award, in 1992. He was conferred an honorary doctorate from Oxford University, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, the Bharat Ratna, and the Legion of Honor by the president of France.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;">With his works, Ray told tales, in content and style in a way no one had done in India. And it should therefore come as no surprise that he influenced many noted filmmakers of generations to come, and his name is taken with great honour and respect in any film fraternity across the globe.</span></div>

It contains a great deal of antioxidants, which are effective against free radicals. These free radicals, which are formed when the skin is exposed to the UV rays of the sun, are accountable for premature aging. This wondrous natural component is also responsible for the cell renewal process. The aged keratinocytes cells are biologically energized by the polyphenol compounds in green team, which in turn, synthesize the DNA and prevent premature aging of the cells.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px;"> <strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Protects from sunburn</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px;"> <strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><img alt="sonnenschutz-tipps-hautkrebs-sonnenbrand-schuetzen-610x280-628x288" class="jwMediaContent" data-jadewitsmedia="{'status':'success','id':'27026','ext':'jpg','thumb':'//en.prothom-alo.com/contents/cache/images/110x110x1/uploads/media/2014/05/03/5364cd5ed614a-sonnenschutz-tipps-hautkrebs-sonnenbrand-schuetzen-610x280-628x288.jpg','path':'media/2014/05/03/5364cd5ed614a-sonnenschutz-tipps-hautkrebs-sonnenbrand-schuetzen-610x280-628x288.jpg','name':'sonnenschutz-tipps-hautkrebs-sonnenbrand-schuetzen-610x280-628x288','pushClass':'jwMediaContent','type':'image','title':'Green tea's skin benefits include protection from sunburn.

The ten worst Irish accents in Hollywood movies

What do you think?</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Read down through our list or use the playlist on the right to listen to the top 10 Worst Hollywood Irish accents!</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 1. SEAN CONNERY IN DARBY O'GILL AND THE LITTLE PEOPLE"</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> The gold standard to judge against all other bad Irish accents must surely remain Sean Connery's portrayal of Michael McBride, in the Walt Disney classic "Darby O' Gill and the Little People."</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 2. SEAN CONNERY IN "THE UNTOUCHABLES"</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> That was in 1959; by 1987, when he starred as the tough Irish cop Jim Malone in "The Untouchables," things had scarcely improved (though ironically, he nabbed the Best Supporting Actor Oscar).</div> <div>  </div> <div> It's not just the Irish accent that the Bond star has grappled with it - no doubt he also made the cut for some Top 10 List of Bad Russian Accents for his portrayal of Captain Marko Ramius,  in  "The Hunt for Red October."</div> <div>  </div> <div> 3. KEVIN SPACEY IN "ORDINARY DECENT CRIMINAL"</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Every so often, U.S. actors - even really good, respected actors like Kevin Spacey - come out with stuff like "Ordinary Decent Criminal," a fairly unremarkable movie save for the fact that the main stars all try to outdo one another on the bad Irish accent front.</div> <div>  </div> <div> It's a kind of bizarre concoction of various Irish regional accents - a little bit of Dublin, a touch of Northern Ireland - that slips into American every fifth sentence or so.</div> <div>  </div> <div> It's astonishing that Colin Farrell, a native Dubliner, didn't think of saying to Spacey, "What the f**k, Kevin?! No one in Ireland, and I mean no one, talks like that! Now go get a voice coach and give the Oirish accent a rest!"</div> <div>  </div> <div> This mustn't have happened - and indeed, the director, Thaddeus O'Sullivan, himself an Irishman, somehow failed to spot that Spacey's co-star, Linda Fiorentino, had an equally ridiculous accent. Shame on both O'Sullivan and Farrell for not spotting these...</div> <div>  </div> <div> It remains a mystery why this film actually got made, when John Boorman's "The General" - a movie about the same thing - came out before it, and is vastly superior.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 4. TOMMY LEE JONES IN "BLOWN AWAY"</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> One of the other stock Irish characters in Hollywood movies is the Irish terrorist. (For example, Sean Bean in "Patriot Games," Brad Pitt in "The Devils Own," Richard Gere in "The Jackal," etc.)</div> <div>  </div> <div> Perhaps the worst bad Irish accent offender from the Irish terrorist category is Tommy Lee Jones' portrayal of Ryan Gaerity in "Blown Away," above and beyond the worst Northern Irish accent you are every likely to hear. Real-life Northern Irish terrorists must have been disgusted that their movement could be insulted with such a woeful accent.</div> <div>  </div> <div> 5. JULIA ROBERTS IN "MICHAEL COLLINS"</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Like Sean Connery, Julia Roberts is a repeat bad Irish accent offended: in 1996, she played Kitty Kiernan, the lover of Michael Collins in the movie of the same name.</div> <div>  </div> <div> (Although English actor Alan Rickman, playing Eamon de Valera in that movie does a pretty good job in his Irish accent - shame he didn't pass on any tips to Roberts.)</div> <div>  </div> <div> 6. JULIA ROBERTS IN "MARY REILLY"</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Things went from bad to worse for Roberts in "Mary Reilly," which was also released in 1996.</div> <div> In it, she plays the title role, an Irish housemaid who becomes embroiled in a love affair with her employer Dr. Jekyll, and his alter ego, Mr. Hyde.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Apparently, Roberts had a voice coach for the part - and Roberts spokeswoman told a tabloid, "Julia wants her voice to be authentic."</div> <div>  </div> <div> Do yourself a favor, Julia - the next time you play an Irish character in a movie, get yourself a new voice coach.</div> <div>   </div> <div> 7. TOM CRUISE IN "FAR AND AWAY"</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> To be perfectly fair to the much pilloried Tom Cruise, his Irish accent in "Far and Away" is truly appalling.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Joseph Donnelly, the 19th century Irish peasant played by Cruise, sounds like how a Hollywood film executive imagines Irish people talk.</div> <div>  </div> <div> If Cruise's Irish accent has any redeeming features it's that it might fall into the "It's so bad, it's funny" category of Irish on screen accents.</div> <div>  </div> <div> It also diverts attention from Nicole Kidman's efforts at an Irish accent in the same movie. (In one scene, Cruise tells Kidman, "Yer a corker, Shannon. What a corker you are!" - a well known Irish pick-up line.) While being fairly feeble, it's not the crime against Irish humanity perpetrated by her ex-husband, to be sure, to be sure.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 8. BRAD PITT IN "THE DEVIL'S OWN"</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> While not sinking to the same depths as Richard Gere in "The Jackal," Brad Pitt still manages to embarrass himself - and indeed anyone from Northern Ireland - with his efforts at playing Frankie Gallagher, an IRA man on-the-run.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Apparently, Pitt spent a few days hanging around Belfast to perfect a Belfast accent. (He was even attacked in West Belfast while he was researching the role.)</div> <div>  </div> <div> Probably could have done with a few more days in Belfast....</div> <div>   </div> <div> 9. GERARD BUTLER IN "P.S. I LOVE YOU"</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Everyone involved in the making of this film, from the producer to the coffee maker, should be rounded up and shot - it's that bad.</div> <div>  </div> <div> First on the list to go is Gerard Butler, who plays lovable Irishman Gerry Kennedy, and whose Irish accent is only one of the many problems in this pretty awful film.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Sean Connery has shown that even Scottish actors can have trouble with an Irish accent - a point also demonstrated by Butler in this movie.</div> <div>  </div> <div> P.S. Gerry, your accent sucks.</div> <div>  </div> <div> 10. THE LEPRECHAUN IN "LEPRECHAUN"</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Like many of the films featured on this list, this movie falls into the "It's so bad, it's good" category. And it's hard not to laugh at a movie with the tagline, "Your luck just ran out."</div> <div> This horror gained something of a cult following, and was also notable for giving Jennifer Aniston one of her first roles.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Of course, in a movie about Leprechauns, anything less than a ridiculous "Oirish" accent would be a total shock - and Leprechaun doesn't disappoint.</div> <div> <br /></div> </div>

Love spell</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> On a night of the full moon, walk to a spot beneath your beloved's bedroom window. Whisper his/her name three times to the night wind (el alder).</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> It is believed that the night breeze has a guardian. This guardian is compassionate to mortal requests between 12.00 midnight and 1am (the witching hour).</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 2. To find stolen goods</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Place two keys in a sieve cross ways.  Two people hold the sieve while another makes a crossed sign on the forehead of the suspected thief, calling out their name loudly three times.  If the person is innocent the keys will remain stationary but if the person is guilty the keys will start to revolve slowly round the sieve.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 3. Attract good fortune</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> You will be damn lucky with this one. You will need a candle, some string, and a trinket.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Light the candle and loop the string in through the trinket and tie it. Then start passing it above the candle-flame ( the trinket ), then chant:</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> “A candle flickers, This trinket I pass, Good energy and fortune come to me, Wealth, Knowledge, Influence, Energy, By good means come to me, Wealth, Knowledge, Influence, Energy, This trinket I pass into power, To attract, To me, Wealth, Knowledge, Influence, Energy, Come To Me!!”</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Repeat that three times, then wear the "necklace" around your neck. The more you do this- the more powerful.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 4. Beauty spell</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> This spell makes you prettier than you think, just follow the instructions.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> On a full moon, take a mirror and go outside (if you can't then open a window, make sure the moon is reflected on the mirror) take a piece of a picture (hair, lips, eyes, whatever you are interested in changing) place it on the mirror and concentrate on it. Then say "Moonshine, Starlight, let the wind carry your light, let your glow cover my body, and let your shine cover every eye."</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Say it three times and concentrate on the part that you want to change, Then say “"Moonshine, Starlight, shape and mold my body, as a rose is granted beauty, let me blossom in your light, the light that brings me beauty, and grant me beauty three times three"</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Say it three times and when you are finished light a candle (pink) or incense.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 5. To get someone to call you</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Take a piece of parchment or fine quality writing paper and inscribe the name of the target. Write it in a circle twice, so the ends meet. As you do this concentrate on the person's face and your desire that they call you. Then, while still concentrating, put a needle through the center of the circle created by the name. Place the charm by the phone.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> The call will come within five minutes, five hours or five days depending on how well the spell was cast and how much will power was used.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 6. Hair binding / Bond of trust</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> In ancient Ireland, it was customary for a man to braid a bracelet from his hair and give it to the woman he loved, a gift of trust-- knowing what can be done to someone magically if you possess their hair.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> The binding is not activated unless she accepts the gift, thus accepting him and agreeing to the spell.  This is not a binding that can be imposed on another.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 7. Healing charm for a wound:</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Close the wound tightly with the two fingers, and repeat these words slowly:</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> "In the name of Dagda, Bridget and Diancecht.  The wound was red, the cut was deep, and the flesh was sore;   but there will be no more blood, and no more pain, till the Gods come down to earth again."</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 8.  A charm for always having money</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Take the feather of a black cock, go to the crossing points of three fairy-paths, and while holding the feather and a gold colored coin, call the name of the Goddess Áine three times, to bring you everlasting prosperity.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 9. Elixir of potency</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Two ounces of cochineal, one ounce of gentian root, two drachms of saffron, two drachms of snakeroot, two drachms of salt of wormwood, and the rind of ten oranges, the whole to be steeped in a quart of brandy, and kept for use.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 10. Charm against depression</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> When a person becomes low and depressed and careless about everything, as if all vital strength and energy had gone, he is said to have got a fairy blast.  And blast-water must be poured over him by the hands of a fairy doctor while saying, "In the name of Lugh with his shining sword, who has strength before the gods and stands among them." </div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Great care must be taken to ensure that no portion of the water is sullied.  Whatever is left over after the procedure must be poured on the fire.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <br /></div> </div>
