My guess would be suspicion if witchcraft, but rural Byzantine folk beliefs are not my speciality.

ION, I had a completely and utterly demoralizing day.
Have I mentioned I like bourbon?

It's re-moralizing!

It may make it hard(er) to get to work in the morning, but I also have chocolate at work.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm sorry Kat.
I am filled with angst and feelings of parental failure. We just cancelled Isaac's already delayed birthday party. Tomorrow. Oh! But there was no way to make it work.

1. Are both children alive? Yes!
2. Are both children loved? Yes!
3. Do both children receive consistent boundaries on behavior? Yes!
Success!

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about the house, Kat. I'm sure that you'll find the right new place.

Hmm; just spent 20 minutes researching 12th century Byzantine Greek burial practices; I have to wonder if the rest of the skeleton was found and if there were other injuries. The hole in the forehead doesn't seem to be an accepted practice; if the body were being prepped for taxidermy prior to burial, as was done in a few cases, perhaps, but I don't think a simple small hole in the forehead would be practical, were they removing brain tissues.
Since it was perimortem, I wonder if it was murder/vengeance. I am curious, though.
Although, given the convos by sinus/migraine sufferers on this board, I also wonder if the person had vicious headaches, and tried a "home remedy!"
