Swamp Witchery Ideas

Skunk Cabbage can be added to curses because they smell so bad people will be inclined to avoid the subject. They can also be added to spells to make them last a very long time, because they were used by native american tribes for preserving tattoos.

Swamp spirits are more mischievous than dangerous, but folklorically they are inclined to lure children and drown them, and keep in mind that they aren't against you dying and your corpse to grow more moss and skunk cabbage.

River spirits are typically nonviolent except for their kings, they just want to mind their own business. They have powerful future predicting abilities. However they are easily riled up and vengeful.

By the rivers, if you find small clay sculptures like animals or shapes, it is lucky and you could keep it. However if you see geometric patterns on the rocks you best stay away.

If you kill a frog I will harm you but in the summer you probably see dried frogs on the roads everywhere. These can be used in weather spells because frogs symbolize water. This is imported mythology but in my village in europe they strung them up on their clothing while dancing for rain.

TOADS... First of all understand toads and their strong connection to witchcraft. toadflax is particularly useful for protection from witchcraft and can be used to break hexes. (three seeds on a necklace will protect you from evil eye.)

You also probably see dried toads everywhere. Powdered, you can add them to spells for power over animals (especially large ones like horses or wild animals), protection, general uses of "fortifying"

In older times, they would call somebody who had gone insane somebody who has "been to the river" or "been around rivers and streams"

Witches do not like to die when people are watching.

Brass, like iron, is a strong protective metal. Hexes cannot be placed on guns or knives with even one brass screw in them.

Dockweed is used for undoing hexes and curses, specifically from nature spirits.

You can make a poppet out of meat and feed it to a carnivorous plant for enforcing your will/sabotage (and wise up, idc if you dont live in florida we have them in fucking connecticut)

If you’re still bleeding you’re the lucky ones

I wrote a post 5x05 spec thing that was going to be Octavia talking to Clarke about Echo and implying that she knew Clarke had feelings for Bellamy but it turned into something different. It’s more Clarke and Octavia talk about impending war while Madi hero worships O and Bellamy/Echo loiter in the background. I don’t even know how to tag it on ao3 so it’s here instead... enjoy, or don’t *shrug* 

“Madi are you ok?” Clarke asks checking her over, twisting the girl’s face towards her and running her hands down her arms.

“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Madi sighs, but Clarke draws her back in for another hug.

Out of the corner of her eye, she sees the others start to get out of the rover. Then Bellamy jogs past her to Echo.

They embrace and Clarke watches for a split second before turning her attention back to Madi who is talking a mile-a-minute.

“Why are you here? You know there are sandstorms this time of year. We found Murphy, he called me a hobbit.” Madi grins up at Clarke, “What’s a hobbit?”

Clarke smiles down about to explain when she half-hears Octavia growl, “what’s she doing here.”

She knows, instinctively, that Octavia is talking about Echo and having just witnessed her little speech to Bellamy, that there is no way that conversation will end well.

“Do you want to meet Octavia?” Clarke asks Madi taking her by the hand.

“Oh my, do I? Yeah!” Madi smiles, her grin widening as she bounces around looking for Octavia.

Clarke manoeuvres Madi around and they start to walk to Octavia. Under other circumstances, she’d hesitate before letting Madi meet this new version of Octavia Blake – the self-styled Blodreina. But as the last few days have constantly reminded Clarke, war does not stop for your hesitations.

As they walk towards Octavia Clarke looks back over her shoulder at Bellamy and Echo, he meets her eye, as she knew he would and nods once. It’s barely an incline of the head but Clarke knows he understands what she is doing, the space she is giving them.

A lot has changed in six years, clearly, but not this. Not their ability to communicate with just a glance.

“Octavia,” Clarke says, interrupting the fierce gaze that Octavia is sending towards Bellamy and Echo, “this is Madi.”

Octavia turns her attention to Clarke and Madi, who has now gone quiet.

“She helped me survive for the last six years,” Clarke adds when Madi just looks at Octavia with awe.

“You must be very strong,” Octavia says haltingly, she doesn’t have Bellamy’s easy ability with children but it was the right thing to say.

“Not as strong as you!” Madi grins, “Clarke told me all about you. She said you were the fiercest warrior. She called you Skairipa.”

Octavia turns to Clarke and raises one eyebrow and for a moment Clarke sees a glimpse of Octavia Blake again, the girl she once knew.

“Is that right? I haven’t heard that name in a long time.” Octavia says turning back to Madi.

Madi starts to speak again but gets distracted, “what happened to your arm?”

“A creature bit her,” Clarke says. It’s not entirely true but easier than explaining the horror of skin-burrowing worms.

“Does it hurt?” Madi asks Octavia softly.

“Not anymore. Clarke fixed it.”

“She’s good at that,” Madi begins rambling about the time she fell in the woods and Clarke helped her.

Clarke notices that Octavia is no longer focused on Madi but her attention is back on Echo and Bellamy who are standing talking to Monty and Harper.

“Madi,” Clarke interrupts the girl’s story, “do we have any of the dockweed in the rover? It might help Octavia’s arm.”

Clarke knows appealing to Madi’s sense of helping Octavia is the best thing she can do right now.

“Oh yeah! I bet we do I’ll run and look.”

Madi is up before Clarke can say another word.

“A child?” Octavia says her tone back to the clipped vowels of Blodreina.

“It’s a long story.”

Octavia nods, “she should not be here.”

For a moment Clarke thinks she’s talking about Madi but then realises that she is once again looking at the group containing Bellamy and Echo who have now been joined by Miller.

“She’s with them.” Clarke shrugs.

“She’s banished.”

“Banished from a land that no longer exists.” Clarke reasons.

“She tried to cheat the conclave and steal the bunker, which makes her an enemy of Wonkru,” Octavia spits.

“Wonkru did not exist when she did that.” Clarke argues, “Besides, I tried to take the bunker too. Am I an enemy of Wonkru?”

Octavia turns to look at Clarke, the side of her mouth lifting in a small quirk, not quite a smile, more calculating, but close.

“I thought about it, but no. You were trying to save your people, my brother. I can’t fault you for that.”

“Echo was doing the same.”

“No. She was trying to save herself, the hell with the rest of us.” Octavia bites, before turning to Clarke again, “but it looks like she’d save my brother now.”

Clarke tries not to bristle at Octavia’s tone but it’s not like she doesn’t agree. Bellamy and Echo are clearly something. Even if Clarke hadn’t seen them reunite watching them standing together, talking with the others their bodies turned toward each other, she’d know. It’s a stance Clarke recognises from a long time ago.

“Is that a bad thing?” Clarke asks, “that she’d save Bellamy.”

“It depends who she is saving him from.” Octavia responds, she’s quiet for a moment then adds, “but I will leave it for now. If she does not come against me, I will not go against her.”

“Thank you,” Clarke replies.

She doesn’t know why she’s bargaining for Echo’s absolution, it's not like she knows her, but it seems unnecessary to fight each other. At least that’s what she’s telling herself.

“We have to go to war Clarke and you will all have to pick a side.”

“It seems like a bad idea to go to war when there are so few of us left.”

“Perhaps. But this is what warriors do, and Wonkru are warriors.”

They see Madi slam the rover door and start running back towards them.

“Who I lead is clear. It looks like my brother has chosen who he stands with,” Octavia says pushing herself up into a more seated position with effort, “So what about you Clarke. Who are your people?”

She is saved from a response by the return of Madi who instantly sits down next to a bemused Octavia and starts talking her through their herb pouch.

Clarke doesn’t want a war. She admires the strength of Wonkru but something about the fear her mother showed and the blind devotion of the others niggles at her, not to mention Octavia’s earlier proclamation against Bellamy.

But if it is war and she has to choose a side, is the devil you know not the better one?

Once Clarke would have known exactly what side she was on. She would have said that her people were Bellamy. And Monty, Harper and Miller. But Miller is Wonkru now and Bellamy has his arm around Echo’s waist.

Now she does not know where their loyalties would lie if, when, war comes.

But she knows hers.

Clarke does not want war. But if it comes she will protect her people. She will protect Madi.

Later, we prepared the dockweed like Italian escarole and beans with plenty of olive oil, garlic, onions, capers, anchovies, oregano, black pepper, and cayenne pepper too. Emily and William, who also helped wash, chop, and cook the kale-like weed, liked it so much that they packed some for their school lunch too. During the Great Depression, dockweed was a popular foraged wild vegetable because their deep tap roots made them more resilient to drought than many other plants. People use herbicides so they can rid their lawns and gardens of some of the healthiest foods they can eat - weeds - and then chow down on processed foods that make them sick, made from farmed animals and plants that were also produced using these dangerous weed killers.

There is an abundance of food and medicine everywhere, but most aren't looking 😒 I seek, therefore I sought and, obtained my #goals Bottomline, "I went out, got it and, came back with it". #dockweed leaves have been used for compress for #bruises the #seeds Used for #cough #bronchitis #cold #roots #jaundice #acne #constipation #diarrhea #liver problems #rheumatoidarthritis Caution, this plant contains #oxalicacid which is found in green leafy veggies. This type of acid binds with calcium. Therefore too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. All things in #moderation If you are prone to kidney stones which are commonly associated with calcium oxalate, I would avoid this product. #educationalpurposesonly consult your doctor for all medical advice #linkinbio👆 https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3OTTapJUq/?igshid=14ntsigxq5n5s
