as promised

I had promised Moni a little while ago to explain my youtube handle "kleineroteHex" translated little red witch. I have used it probably close to 10 years - next to my regular name, however that somehow does not switch when I change to it... technology....

Since a lot of people know me under this "evil" name - yes, I had a few comments how a believer can use such a name.... it also has a few funny comments! Patrick (as in Heidi's Patrick just calls me kleenex) I do not care to change it.

It began when I started on youtube and was looking for a handle that fit me. Many were either used already or youtube could not handle the Umlaut letters (äöü) or ...... I landed on little red witch because a) I am little b) my hair used to be really red when I was a kid (got teased to no end) c) because anyone who knew about herbs was called a witch back in the day..... 1800s; smarty pants me said, I just let them know right from the start, I am into herbal all sorts of remedies (nothing to do at all with actual witch craftery!) Sort of a "fun pun", my strange kind of humor.

Just for testing technology I will try my real name again when I remember and throw you all off (hard to pronounce of course, unless you know German, like Moni 😀)

Now I have cleared up the confusion I hope. And no, I do not mind if you call me kleenex 😀

Thank you kleine rote hex (little red curse) I understand the background of herbal medicine and how in the past it was correlated to witches.

Witch in German is Hexe.


Hex is a form of the German verb Verhexen" is a German verb that means to bewitch,to put a spell on, or to jinx. It can be used literally to describe casting a magical spell, or colloquially to describe something that is inexplicably unlucky or malfunctioning. 


This is why I was confused about your YouTube handle.

I use Moni because no one pronounces Monika properly.
