Redheads Age Better, Have More Sex, and are Less Susceptible to Prostate Cancer
Redheads look younger than they are, can be found in the bedroom more often, and have less chance, if you are a man, of getting prostate cancer than people of other hair colors.

Red-haired Witches
Redheads were thought to be witches.
45,000 red-haired women are estimated to have been burned for witchcraft in 15th century Germany. According to the manual on identifying a witch, Malleus Maleficarum, a sure sign would be her having red hair and green eyes.
I believe redheads have supernatural abilities that some would label as sorcery or witchcraft.
This may signify the importance of the recessive gene. How can they exterminate all redheads when the gene ‘hides’ itself?

Life as a Red-haired Stepchild.
Growing up as the red-haired stepchild, literally, was tough. My own mom didn’t even like me. Neither of my parents had red hair. Getting called carrot top was the norm and it sucked. I would get blamed for everything and I was treated as a bad child even though I was a good. Other parents, teachers, priests, I guess people of authority looked down on me. I remember getting kicked out of class anytime someone talked to me. I spent most of the year in my desk in the hall looking in through the door. I became good friends with the principal.
The allergies started when I was 13 and they only worsened until I discovered that they were caused by milk and wheat. Acupuncture was the best treatment of all. In addition, I have a sensitive digestive system, its called irritable bowel syndrome now. They did not have a label for attention deficit disorder back when I was growing up. Good thing as I would not want to be put on any mental medication. Who knows what that would have done? I would spend the whole day mesmerized on the first day of snow. Every time I went to the dentist, I would really get high on the laughing gas although the drilling was still painful. I talk to people who never feel any pain at the dentist. Must be nice.
The negative attention stopped when I let my hair grow out. Everyone thinks I look like Sammy Hagar. He can’t look that bad. Maybe all redheads are related. Strangely, I find red haired women attractive, but have never wanted to date one. I wonder if its genetic. I love the exotic type.
I began to notice that other people liked to tell me their problems. I was watching a Dr Who episode where the Amazon lady states, “When you get a cut, look for the man with the most scars.” I guess that relates to me. Being a redhead makes you somewhat jaded and tough. I have the most wry sense of humor and its helped me stay mentally afloat. In my ’30’s I began to have shamanic experiences and have since been on a spiritual journey in that direction. Must have been the laughing gas. Yes I do feel like I am from another planet because I just can’t get over all this need for the material satisfaction. Personally I love to be in the mountains surrounded by large pine trees in the whispering winds with a spring of bubbling water nearby or by ocean watching the endless waves as the setting sun simmers and shimmers.

Redheads smell better!
Redheaded women emit a particularly distinct aroma
It has been scientifically proven that when redheads wear perfume, it will smell better than when worn by other hair types.
“Dr. Augustin Galopin first recorded this fact in his 1886 book “Le Parfum de la Femme.” He reportedly detected that redheaded women emit a particularly distinct aroma — that of ambergris, an earthy and sensual scent.”

Concerning myself, a guy with red hair, I have unusually sensitive senses. I cannot wear strong colognes and use commercial soaps because I will get a headache. Its funny walking about and having the ability to smell what other people are wearing and what detergent they used. Actually it can be overwhelming sometimes. Sometimes I can catch whiff of a person downwind at over a block away.
Did Jesus Have Red Hair?
“His golden colored hair and beard gave to his appearance a celestial aspect.”
Most people think that Jesus, being Jewish, must have had dark hair. However, its not out of the question for red hair to be found in the Middle East. In 2014, a gathering of about 200 red-haired Jews came together in Israel. King David is known to have red hair as well.
The proof comes from an actual historical letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar. Pontius Pilate writes:
One day I observed in the midst of a group of people a young man who was leaning against a tree, calmly addressing the multitude. I was told it was Jesus. This I could easily have suspected so great was the difference between Him and those who were listening to Him. His golden colored hair and beard gave to his appearance a celestial aspect. He appeared to be about 30 years of age. Never have I seen a sweeter or more serene countenance. What a contrast between Him and His bearers with their black beards and tawny complexions!
Another source is from the sleeping prophet, Edgar Cayce. Falling into a trance state, Cayce would diagnose illnesses and describe past events. Cayce talked often of the life of Jesus Christ. He described Him as having blue eyes and golden red hair.

Skin Care for Redheads
A major aspect of being a red-head is our sensitivity – especially our fair, ultra-sensitive skin. I soon discovered I was hyper-allergic to almost all body care products. The artificial fragrances gave me headaches and sneezing. The harsh chemicals, synthetic colors and preservatives made my hair, skin and scalp dry up and break out. Even “natural” products were too strong for me.
For a while, I found relief using Burt’s Bees original line of aftershave and deodorant. Then they went commercial and discontinued both products. I had no choice but to make my own. After a year of experimenting, I had a perfect classic bay rum aftershave and sage deodorant that were better than the original Burt’s.
My wife and I now run the online shop Freyja’s Magic, where we offer a full line of men and women’s products made especially for red-heads! Freyja’s Magic was created to provide pure, potent body care products for people like ourselves who are sensitive to their environment. Each product is 100% natural, completely handmade and truly unique, like red-heads. We still do everything the old fashioned way, by hand in small batches. Designing, mixing, melting, pouring and labeling are all done by us. No preservatives, artificial colors or fragrances are ever used. We do not use natural fragrance oils, either, which can contain carcinogens and toxins. Only 100% pure, therapeutic grade essential oils scent our products, adding medicinal and aromatherapy benefits.
Check us out, let us know what you think, and if there is something you would like to see added to our line. We are happy to accept custom orders. If you’ve been looking for something specific, tell us and we will do our best to make it for you.
Thank you for supporting out family business, and the cause of red-heads everywhere!
Red-Haired Roots: A Journey of Discovery
25 years ago, I was delivering mail along my walking route in San Diego, when I was stopped by an elderly lady who still had striking red hair despite her age. I was about to hand over her mail when suddenly she grabbed me by the arm, looked me intently in the eye and exclaimed:
“Did you know that being a red-head makes you different from everybody else?”
“Ah, no, I didn’t know that,” I stammered, taken aback by the purposeful address.
She went on, as though passing on a secret legacy, “Did you know that you fall into a 5% category, where doctors don’t know what medications will do to you?”
I shook my long red curls “no”, but as I thought about it, I began to realize I did notice that many things affected me differently, that I was more sensitive to medications, food, my environment, and other people than the average man. From that moment I was on a quest to discover what it truly meant to be a red-head.
This quest has taken me to subjects such as the Tuatha Danaan, Red-haired Egyptian Pharoahs, and Red-haired Mummies in China to Famous Redheads such as Queen Elizabeth and Mark Twain to Environmentally Sensitive Redheads and Redheads with Magical Abilities.
This site is an invitation to all gingers to join me on that journey!
