To the man who stole the dragonfly sculpture from the front of our house on Dufferin Street around 5 a.m. Sunday morning, there are two things you should know in all fairness.
First, thanks to an early-rising neighbour who happened to be looking out the window, we have the make, model and a partial licence plate number of your car.
There are now quite a few people keeping an eye out for it.
Second, that particular piece of artwork that you stole was blessed by a shaman from Arizona, and unfortunately for you, the blessing carries a curse.
The blessing has to be passed on with the dragonfly. Anyone who takes that dragonfly without the blessing is going to experience bad things, starting with the first sunrise after it is taken.
Arizona shamans have powerful juju, my friend.
But if you return it, along with a shoe (hey, I’m not making this up – I don’t know what the shoe is for, but it’s part of the recipe), the curse will be lifted.
So, do yourself a favour. Return the dragonfly to its home.
Oh, and you left a little piece of your soul behind. We’ll leave it on the porch for you.
