A Healing And A Prayer

A Healing and A Prayer

This past week I've been thinking about performing a healing work for someone in my life that has contracted COVID-19. As healing has never been my forte I've been a little nervous about how to proceed. I noticed something interesting every time i found my mind turning to it (the work) though, the goddess Iðunna. 

Now, as someone who considers myself rökkatru, this was rather odd. Odd or not I decided that if it was THIS persistent, than there must be something to it. 

So, earlier this evening, I dressed a candle, lit simple incense and honestly and earnestly prayed to the Lady of the Orchard. I'm not sure how well the prayer for healing was received (only time will tell) but I did feel a shift in the air when Her name first passed my lips. I believe that She at least heard me and hopefully answered my plea. 

I'm not sure what kind of results I'm hoping to see, but I have decided that regardless of it I plan to continue building a relationship with Her.

“Oh great goddess of the Æsir, Our Lady of the Orchard

Please pass your blessing of restoration onto him that I love.”

[ Bells ] /French Folk Traditions.

1. “Living Entities”____

Since the Middle Ages, the ringing of church bells punctuated daily life and alerted folks in case of danger.

They are also considered as almost living entities : they have a voice and are baptized like children.

At Easter, when they are silent, “they’ve gone on a trip to Rome.”

In the 16th century, J. Wier tells us that the common people are convinced that the devil knocks down the bells that have not been baptized, while those that have been baptized drive out demons and storms.

Father Thiers will explain that they are not baptized but simply blessed, even if they are given, as is the custom, a godfather and a godmother.(…)

2. Omens_____

In one of her letters (April 1680) a nun from the convent of Loudun recounts that a bell wheel broke while the bell was ringing for the burial of the “Mother of the Cross”. This was immediately taken to be “an omen of some affliction which was to befall the community” à sand indeed, a fortnight later, the mother prioress died [while] in good health.

In the Côtes-d'Armor, the more or less harmonious sound of the bells reveals to a young mother who has just given birth whether her first child will live or die ; for the omen to be favorable, she must succeed in placing the words of a song on the melody that she seems to hear in the ringing of the bells. (this one is for you @hillsarehollow 🧡)

3. Storm Chasers / Hex Chasers_____

“During the storms, one runs immediately to the bells and one makes them ring with all force and with all their might, as if they were a sovereign remedy…” (Wier, 1569)

In Vosges, they say that you have to act as soon as the first rumbles of thunder strike, because if you ring them too late, they tear up the clouds and cause hail to fall.

The bells are also rung at certain times of the year to protect the territory of the parish from the evil spells of the devil and sorcerers.

Father Thiers relates that a bell must be rung for 24 hours on the eve of Saint John at dawn. (Haute-Marne, Moselle, Vosges, Rhône.)

The bells are also rung on the night of Saint Agatha (February 5) to scare away the witches running around that night.

It should be noted that the protective virtue of bells extends to cowbells and other bells that are suspended from the neck of cattle, against disease, lightning and evil spells.

When someone blogs about a spell, consecration, ritual or any personal magical or witchcraft work, they usually leave something out intentionally or unintentionally, said or unsaid. My first witchcraft teacher taught me to always add something to my spell work and especially if a spell had an even number of components to make it odd by addition. As a witch you need to make a spell your own, something that you and your spirits add to the mix. While most anybody can use a well made spell without edit to reasonable success, a witch tends to seal theirs with some personal flair. I have not heard this specific advice repeated by any of my subsequent craft teachers; however, it rings so true and perhaps sensible that I have always held it. Of course my subsequent teachers have emphasized making your own spells. So the emphasis on personalized witchcraft holds.

'Concerning The Powers and Virtues of Pine, Rustic Lord of the Lonely Places'

"The Pine stands as the ally of the Wayfarer upon the Path for its many uses, both practical and magical. The presence of Pines is an indication of life, as the Trees tend to grow in community and attract diverse beasts and worts to their domains. Dead wood provides excellent kindling for the fire, and live wood cut for timber is one of the most versatile and workable of woods. Nuts found within the cones provide a wholesome food to sustain the body; all species are edible. Its sap is both nutritive and medicinal, and, should additional sustenance be needed, the green needles may be brewed into a nourishing tea. Thus, though often found spreading its branches in the wild lands, the Pine-forest serves as a place of Sojourn and respite whilst walking the path in pilgrimage.

The Genius of the Pine, despite its preference for wilderness, is on the whole friendly toward man, hence its adaptation in many circumstances to domestic existence, and bestows the virtues of ingenuity and adaptation. In species it numbers almost one hundred, widely distributed throughout the world, and some kinds, such as the Bristlecone, may attain ages in advance of 4,500 years. Though numerous exotic conifers have come forth unto Albion in recent centuries, its principal Pine-warden is the magnanimous Pinus sylvestris or Scots Pine, which may be seen in its truly wild state now only in isolated places in the Highlands, however in certain hedges in East Anglia it curiously makes a home among the more usual hardwoods common there.

With most Pines, trunks of larger trees reveal sap-flows where the fragrant resin has hardened; this may be collected and used for varied purposes of Art, such as for fumigation or for making varnishes. However, not every Pine species produces resin of good and wholly aromatic quality, thus it is a matter of discernment which the simpler must arrive at by cunning and diligent investigation. Where a certain pine resin is left wanting with regard to its aromatic properties, it may still be used as an agent of binding.

Needles harvested and dried green will retain aromatic virtue and may be burnt, together with resin and cones, as a suffumigant strong in powers of earthing, and keeping haunting shades of the dead at bay. This power of removing ghost-infection is doubly potent in the resin.

The cones, after having expelled their seeds, serve as encharmed vessels for the work of thaumaturgy, each of the numerous hollows capable of being filled with a different enchantment. Likewise, the hollows of a cone may be packed with flammable unguents, aromatic resins and powders, and the whole set to roast slowly upon the hearth-fire of working as a splendid perfume. Such aromatic ingredients may be derived from the Pine direct, in the form of resin, ground bark and needles, and twigs, or from other worts and trees as dictated by Ingenium."

I decided this year would be the year I took part in “la Neuvaine aux ancêtres” (the novena for the ancestors). From Oct. 24-Nov. 1 I shall pray to my ancestors and then visit who I can at the graveyard when the novena ends. Thank you as always to @courir_le_loupgarou for your resources 🖤 #fcsorcelleriecf #ancestorveneration #novena #neuvaine #cunningwoman #loupgarou #frenchcanadianfolkmagic #witch #pagan #traditionalwitchcraft #folkcatholicism https://www.instagram.com/p/CkILQwgOnIX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Diy Scrying Ball

I’ve been waiting since last Christmas for my local Dollar Tree to stock the diy snow globes so I could put my master plan into action. The time has finally come!

Last year I created this:

Diy Scrying Ball

Now I’m gonna step it up a notch and create this:

Diy Scrying Ball

Lets go!

Materials:

Diy Scrying Ball

Diy Globe kit

Sparkle glue or Sparkles and Veg Glycerin

Waterproof LED Tea lights

(not pictured)

a drill

a hot glue gun

food coloring

rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer

Bowl

something to stir with

Instructions

Diy Scrying Ball
Diy Scrying Ball

so you’re gonna separate the kit into all its parts and then drill a hole into the lid smaller than the bulb of the tealight.

Diy Scrying Ball

Slowly push the bulb through the hole to open it up, then take it out, hot-glue the area around the bulb then slide it back in, once its in give it a thin layer of hot glue over where the bulb protrudes. Test that the light still works and will fit into the base without issue.

Diy Scrying Ball

move to a sink, place the globe into a bowl and add some water and color (best to mix the food coloring in water then add to globe)

Diy Scrying Ball

add in your alcohol, glitter and glycerin (or glitter glue), then top it off with water put back on the bottom.

That’s it!

Happy Scrying
