Guest guest Posted December 7, 2000 Report Share Posted December 7, 2000 What does swinging chickens mean I would think it's a comical reference to what people stereotypically envision when thinking of voodoo or witch rituals. "Swinging chickens" I think is viewed as a form of sacrifice for good luck or to ensure the request is answered.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2000 Report Share Posted December 7, 2000 > 1. What does swinging chickens mean? Although it does refer to an old sacrifical ritual in an offhanded way. To me it means about the same thing as: Rubbing a rabbit's foot; Wishing on a star; Making a wish and blowing out candles; Breaking a wishbone; Crossing your fingers; Thowing a coin in a wishing well; A kiss for luck; and any of the other sayings we use to wish well on one another. Many of these type of sayings are rooted back in the past where superstition reigned and they were done with all seriousness. Now days when we say them we are not doing the actual rituals we are only trying to convey well being and good thought to another.

Swinging chickens is a sort of all encompassing way of describing prayer, sending energy, keeping someone in your thoughts, lighting candles, etc. It's just the humorous list catch-all for all spiritual paths. Now your turn, are you or Lori...or neither??? Or both??????

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2000 Report Share Posted December 7, 2000 What a relief! " Knowledge is weightless -- you carry it with you always. " Well, as a devout christian, I don't guess I'll be swinging, throwing, flipping, or tossing any chickens (or turkeys or ducks or geese), but I do pray for you all. I appreciate your willingness to become transparent for the benefit of unseen strangers like me, so that I can learn the things I need to know. I appreciate your humor, your kindness, and your encouragement. As to my identity, I am Lori and my dh is . I am not a technical girl, so I have no idea how to make it look like our mail comes from me. Since we share the same email, I guess I may as well not change it. Since we are one, I guess it doesn't even matter! Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
