Witchy Lawya

An ordinary woman trapped in a lawya's body sinning her way around the neighbourhood. Nimble sins only. Away from the courthouse, the wrangling courts & stubborn law, I live on a little farm in a farmhouse at 'FAT LAWYER FARM' where I'm going a bit soft in the head ruminating with marsupials, ravens, crows, galahs, magpies, chooks & many other creatures great & small … and God save the powdered wig !

Did you know that lawyers are living history?! A click on this image & you’re at the Courthouse for the 1880s trial of bushranger (outlaw) Ned Kelly in Melbourne, Victoria. You also see the lawyers’ dress of the day. Little, if anything, has changed. Yep, lawyers, here, still wear the same regalia. Yep, lawyers in Australia are living history! Seriously. Throw out the history books! Hang around the Courts for your free, daily, living history show. Immerse yourself & become a real social historian through experiential learning.

This tall, elegant, rusty icon of Australian rural history is, now, almost 6 months from the first rescue move, all done & settled here at home. A quintessential piece of Australia's farming story I rescued this lonely, abandoned windmill which now forms part of our view from the front veranda as she whirls & turns so magnificently. While, to some, she's just a bit of rusty junk, an old piece of farm machinery fit for the scrap heap, I see her in a more romantic or nostalgic light as she reminds me of days gone by. Rest of story at link in bio including a few short video clips of all that went on in the process. #windmill #rustywindmill #fatlawyerfarm #oldwindmill #oldwindmills #BryanBroswindmill #Australianhistory #antiquewindmill #Australianfarm #cyclonewindmill #rusticwindmill #rustyiconAustralia #Angaston #BarossaValley

In his office the other day I find NGE's 'powdered' wig like this, kind of lopsided on the old foam mannequin head he uses as a wig stand & no doubt found at a yard sale. No expensive wig stand or tin! The wigs alone cost big $$s. The wig gets flung & stays where it lands. I'm not in the pro-wig camp. The tradition of wig wearing for lawyers started in 17C when Charles II & his first cousin Louis XIV of France started the trend. The hot itchy curly things we plonk on our hair are required wearing. Thanks Charlie & Lou! No signs of perukes being abolished in Australia certainly in the criminal defence arena. 350 years or so later I think it's time to ditch the wig! :-) #barristerwig #lawyerwig #wig #powderedwig #horsehairwig #courtwig #legalwig #peruke #peruque #courtdress #courtattire #barristerswig #periwig

A great Lady Justice. Dark, solemn, gothic & menacing is this 3 mtr tall bronze statue of Justitia. This goddess of Justice holds no scales & wears no blindfold. She sees all with eyes wide open as she looms over one side of the Supreme Court of Canada building in Ottawa. Her sister, Veritas (Truth), stands vigil on the other side. Both Justitia & Veritas ( goddesses of Justice & Truth respectively) were 'lost' for near 50 years after Edward VII's death. What about Mercy? The goddess of Mercy is Clementia ...rest of story at Link in profile. #SupremeCourtofCanada #CanadaSupremeCourt #veritas #justitia #ladyjustice #truth #goddessofJustice #goddessofTruth #goddessofMercy #Iustitia #Ourlady #Mary #Clementia #CourtSupremeduCanada #iconographyoflaw #Romangoddess #legaliconography #EdwardVII #WalterSeymourAllward #lawasart #lawinart #lawyerart #justiceart

Resistance is in the air, it is real & all around these days. Check out just released Tom Waits' version of "Bella Ciao" (Goodbye Beautiful) a song about the French Resistance, a WWII Italian anti-fascist song. Who doesnt love the broken down craggy gutteral voice of this dude! More resistance songs on Marc Ribot's newly released 'Songs of 'Resistance' including by Steve Earle et al. So dope is Tom Waits ... still :-) More at link in Bio incuding Tom Waits' version of 'Bella Ciao'. #TomWaits #BellaCiao #MarcRibot #GoodbyeBeautiful #ItalianResistance #SongsofResistance #protestsongs #LeonardCohen #politicalprotest #protestmusic #resistancesongs #socialjustice #politicalresistance #SteveEarle #humanrights #WWII #WW2 #antifascist #ThePartisan

I should bury my head in this book. One needs a bit of medieval witch magic for the days when certain court players & participants are grumpy, prickly & plain hard to get along with ... a bit of witchcraft & sorcery might sort things out 🤩🇦🇺 #witchmagic #themagicianthewitchandthelaw #witcheslaw #witchcraft #sorcery #witchlaw #salemwitchtrials #witchylaw #thewitchandthelaw #fatlawyerfarm #witchtrials #witchcraft #witchandlaw #witcheslaw #medievalhistory #heresy #witchylawya

Couldn't resist @rocknrusticvintage :-) Vintage art deco style mannequin head as youthful pubescent looking barrister ... My wig is a little too big & his moulded bouffant hair makes it sit higher on his head ... showing off his 5 o'clock shadow too.
