A Salem Witch's
Gargoyle Guardian
Shelf Gargoyle & Candleholder
This is the tale of a very old soul. The beloved Gargoyle Gaurdian of a Salem Witch! Don't think Witch's are real? They are, and I am here to tell you, for I am the Witch of PGP - for the uniniated, that is the Pottery, Glass and Porcelain Board on the Community Boards of Ebay. But I am a good witch as you will soon see, so read this without fear and no trembling of knees! 
Under a full moon one night a strange creature was seen creeping out of the dark. He was lost and afraid for he did not know where to turn. His Mistress had passed away and when others came to clean out her home, he was left behind. The new owners were scary for they did not believe in magic and thought him quite ugly, so they put him out in the shed. But he had finally escaped when they left it unlocked! So he set off in search of another powerful witch who might like to have him guard her home. He had heard of a very powerful witch in Salem, the OFFICIAL Witch of Salem, so he figured he would try her first. He asked the local garden guardian for directions and went on his way.  
Alas, the only place he could find the official witch of Salem was in her shop, and it was too busy for him to get in unnoticed! Poor gargoyle! But while sitting on the planter outside (trying to look inconspicious), he overheard others talking of another powerful witch, the Witch of PGP! Now she would be PERFECT he thought to himself. Even if she could not keep him he just knew she would help him find a new home! And she only lived a few miles away, so he started off right away. First he tried to drive there, but alas he could not reach the pedals. (bummer) Then he knew he must get there any way he could so he found a ride and got within a few miles of the witch's house. Then it got to be a bit harder, for it was a big city and he got lost!

Luckily, or so he thought, he was able to see two little men who he could ask for directions! Yay, he thought! Uh-oh! As nice as they were, they had been partying a bit and couldn't give clear directions! But they promised to show him the way after a little nap, and invited him to have a few drinks with them! Our gargoyle friend was quite tired from his trip and thought a rest would do him good, and a drink sounded marvelous! Well, our lovely gargoyle had never had alcohol, so it hit him kinda hard!

The next morning the three friends woke up, all with hangovers I might add! Gargoyles and alcohol should NEVER mix! But true to their word the two little elves started on the path to the Witch of PGP so the gargoyle would not get lost. Okay - as a rule, unless you hang out with Elves on a normal basis the elvin language can be confusing! They traveled over trees, rocks and grass until arriving at the Witch's house. There they sat on her porch until she came home! Now please, can YOU imagine coming home to this site??? Yikes! Good thing it was me, the Witch of PGP!

Now the rest is up to my fellow Ebayer's! I know there must be one person out there who will give this great gargoyle a home! He is not brand new, I can't even guess what he is made of except some type of pottery, and he has some damage. But all that aside, he IS a Salem Gargoyle, and was previously owned by a real Salem Witch, for she passed him on to me in the hopes that someone could give him a home. I AM Wiccan and have empowered him to be a true guardian and bring success to whomever gives him a home. He is 7"Lx5"Wx3 1/4"H (sitting on a surface) or 5 1/4"H from bottom of mouth to top of shoulder. Gargoyles keep evil away, which is why they first came into being. The flaws he has have been earned admirably, mostly through taking a bit of a beating from the Salem Witch's 2 year old son! The flaws are not noticable from the front, except for a bit of wear to his paw and mouth. Set him atop a shelf with a candle in his holder and no one will notice, but even if they do, just tell them the story of how he came to you and it won't matter one little bit!
