Your Personal Legend : 26th of May 2009

A personal legend is the path we decide to take that fills our heart with enthusiasm. It is the path of our dreams.

Last week this idea was given and so I would like for you to share your Personal Legend with us.

Love,

Paulo

Witches and pardon - Part 2

Paulo Coelho

I saw operations without anesthesia, and on one of these occasions (precisely a day that I had woken up with many doubts about man’s unknown power) I placed my finger inside the incision made with a rusty pocket knife.

Witches and pardon - Part 1

Paulo Coelho

On 31 October 2004, resorting to a feudal law that was abolished the following month, the town of Prestonpans in Scotland granted official pardon to 81 persons – and their cats – executed for practicing witchery in the 16th and 17th centuries.
