EVEN IN A DAY AND AGE WHERE WE ARE PERCIEVED TO BE "ENLIGHTENED" TEHRE ARE STILL MYTHS AND FOLKLORE THAT PERMATE OUT CULTURE. ONES SUCH "RITUAL" THAT IS TESTAMENT TO THAT IS THE BLOODY MARY IN THE MIRROR RITUAL THAT SEEMS TO BE ALL THE RAGE WITH THE YOUNGER CROWD. WHILE MANY TWEENS MUSTER UP THE COURAGE EACH NIGHT TO SAY THOSE FATEFUL WORDS IN THE MIDST OF TOTAL DARKNESS OF THEIR BATHROOMS, NOTHER EVER SEEMS TO COME OF IT, HOW OFTEN IS IT DO YOU HEAR OF KIDS MYSTERIOUSLY DYING IN THEIR BATHROOMS?
PERHAPS ONE OF THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS IN RELATION TO THIS RITUAL, ISNT IF IT WILL REALLY HAPPEN, BUT WHEN AND WHERE DID THIS BELIEF COME FROM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS STORIES THAT ARE SAID TO BE THE GENISIS OF THE MYTH/LEGEND/SUPERSTITION. HERE ARE THE MOST POPULAR ONES:
1. BLOODY MARY IS THE SPIRIT OF A MOTHER WHO WAS WRONGFULLY ACCUSED OF KILLING HER CHILDREN. THE GRIEF OF THEIR DEATHS COUPLED WITH THE ACCUSATION PLAYED KEY ROLE IN HER "GOING MAD" AND LEADING HER TO COMMIT SUICIDE. LETS JUST SAY SHE IS NOW SPENDING ETERNITY IN HELL AND IS THOROUGHLY TICKED AT ANYONE TAUNTING HER..... AND SHE WILL GET EVEN..... MWUAHAHAHAHA
2. BLOODY MARY IS A CHILD KILLER AND IS JUST SADASTIC... AND SPENDS HER TIME IN HELL..... DESTINED TO TAUNT US WHEN WE SUMMON HER.
3. BLOODY MARY IS MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS, WHO WAS HELD CAPTIVE, TRIED FOR TREASON, AND EVENTUALLY EXECUTED FOR HER ROLE IN PLANNING THE ASSINATION OF QUEEN ELIZABETH THE FIRST.... FOR EVIL DEEDS.. SHE RESIDES IN HELL AND TAUNTS US THROUGH THE MIRROR WHEN SUMMONED
4. BLOODY MARY IS A RIGHTS OF PASSAGE RITUAL THAT YOUNG LADIES HAD TO PASS BEFORE THEY WERE SAID TO BE A WOMEN. BEING ABLE TO STAND IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR AND CONFRONT..WHATEVER IT WAS THAT WAS SAID TO APPEAR, SIGNIFIED THAT THE YOUNG GIRL WAS COURAGOUS AND THE GIFT OF WOMANHOOD WAS BESTOWED UPON HER... MEANING... SHE GOT HER PERIOD.
THERE THEY ARE.... A FEW OF THE MORE POPULAR VERSIONS OF HOW THIS SPOOKY MIDNIGHT RITUAL CAME ABOUT. BUT NO MATTER WHAT THE BEGININGS, THERE SEEMS TO BE LITTLE EVIDENCE THAT THIS RITUAL ACTAULLY WORKS. LEAVING US TO CONCLUDE THAT BLODDY MARY HAS BECOME JADED BY THE MIDNIGHT RITUAL AND OPTS TO STAY DOWN IN HER PRESENT LEVEL OF HELL. OR MAYBE SHE DECIDED TO TAKE UP BAKING AND COULDNT BE BOTHERED BY KIDS SAYING HER NAME ALL THE TIME, AFTERALL NO ONE WANTS BURNT COOKIES. OR MOST LIKELY, THERE IS NO BLOODY MARY AT ALL.
