Thank you for the warning - its a good reminder before I light the candle to anticipate the result. Good ominous build-up. I suspect its deliberately gothic in its separation of the men from the women with their fears. Otherwise I'd ask what about the fear of the men?

Yes. That, and the banishment of the servants made it feel like a period piece to me. Nicely evocative, though.

Ah, the ambiguity of language - that line refers to the (male) magicians' fear of women, raher than any fears the women might have. The other interpretation didn't occur to me!

I enjoyed the the rhythm and tension you created in the poem with the repetiton of "behind..." And the cautionary spin at the end was a pleasant surprise.

Good Job. Nobody knows for sure and may never know. It way have a positive effect, negative effect, or no effect at all.
