Qccording to swedish lore, the fern will bloom one hour of the year - from 11-midnight at midsommers eve. If you where avle to college the flower it would grant you exceptional luck for as long as you Carrier it - however, it was garden by a "lindorm" (a folkloric white magical snake)

St John's Eve Herbs _ intro (1/5)

"Do not gather ferns or fern seeds on Saint John's Eve, do not sow them, do not cut or pull up herbs, do not expose woolen or linen cloths to the air or dew that night, imagining that they will not be eaten by moths or moths and that the herbs gathered that night will be beneficial and useful."

Thus, through the voice of Abbot Thiers, the Church condemned the gathering of Saint John's Eve herbs in the 17th century.

However, despite the Church's opposition, the magical power of Saint John's Eve herbs was widely reported in the French countryside in the 19th century.

Tried a new styling with my veil today, I really like it!!

[violatememoreplease]

This week I tried veiling in public for the first time. I've tried it before during ritual, but mostly found it a bit of a nuicanse then.

But after a particularily hellish day, I lit my altar candles and asked for guidance - and got a sense I should try veiling.

I am actually stunned at the difference it made. It felt like a barrier to stop me from giving ALL of myself to the people around me.

And feeling it, on top of my head, was like a constant reminder of the gods I walk with. When I felt myself stressing out it was like them patting my head, comforting me. I love my Gods ❤️

This!!

You can also incorporate gestures into your practise (kind of like how the catholics make a cross in front of them).

I have a set of gestures for showing gratitude/ reveration/ appreciation, and one for grief/ sadness, which both utilize touching parts of my body and thinking specific words whilst doing it. I'll probably figure out more of those prayer/gestures as I go along, it makes me feel connected to my Craft in ways "standard" magick never seemed to!

Enchanting with touch -

A lot of witchcraft seems to be focused on visualisation as a means of imbuing things with magic, energy work seems almost entirely written to suit those who can visualise images. I am extremely tactile, I am a touchy feely person with busy hands so I decided to share how I “enchant” items.

Enchantment in my book means to take an object and make it magical, whether it be a charm, a ward, an agent of the spell itself.

Kissing things - your lips are far more sensitive than your fingers, they are also very close to your nose so you can incorporate smell into this, too. Take the item, and bring it too your lips gently, place a plush firm kiss whilst focusing on planting your into into the item.

Stroking or brushing - I have heard people try knot magic by braiding their hair, my hair is too short for this, but you could start by brushing your hair. Really smoothing it out, deeply brushing hair or even fur is a great way to transfer magic from your mind to the hands to the object, brushing is very therupeutic and could almost be a trance inducing activity. When I had hair I could sit on, it was a wonderful sensory experience to hand brush it after a wash.

You could also feel the surface of your item by smoothing it with you hands, really get to know the texture, let the magic explore the grain of the wood, the crevices in the stone or the cool touch of the metal.

Crumbling something - You could do this with breadcrumbs for kitchen magic or a bath bomb for bath magic (I wouldn’t crumble a bath bomb imo but I have heard some people prefer to do that.) Guide your intent to your hands and let it over whelm the object in your palms.

Stepping on something - This could be very destructive and great for curses.

Walking around it - Walking around an object features a lot in folk lore, perhaps you could use it to slowly build up intent and magical energy within you?

Throwing or juggling - Juggling is a great skill to learn and I can well and truly say kinetic energy is magical very powerful, throwing and catching something in the air until your satisfied is a fantastic way of enchantment, the weight as you catch it in your hand and watching it fly in the air is just fantastic.

Rubbing it to give it body heat - This is very physical, you can feel the warmth you’ve transferred to this object and its very responsive as well.

Oh.

[violatememoreplease]

Am I the only one getting a slight amish vibe from Whitaker?

Like... Ok, In order of "convincing" signs:

* Zero hesitation throwing himself to catch a rat by hand

* How he recited the prayer in response when dr Robby told him about his grandmas prayer (yes, answering with a Christian prayer is pretty normal, but how he does it in like almost än automatic response and then seems embarrassed of it)

* Slight hesitation when patient says his parents must be proud of him

* Talks a lot about home farm, heavily identifies with it and instant bond with patients wife when told theyre farmers

* Trinity - shown to be very good at instantly reading people - calls him huckleberry right away. (Could be a meta about homelessness, but could also point to him practically running from another time)

* Social awkwardness (might be a sign of cultural differences)

* Between homes (could be just cause life is shit sometimes - could also point to lack of social security net cause running from former life)

* Would fit the general vibe of the show

* Could you not just see our favourite sad boy in a vide brimmed hat?

I came across one of those old school anti-sexism posts on facebook that highlight sexism by swapping the male and female words, you know the kind (it was calling a firefighter a "male firewoman" instead of a fireman), and of course everyone in the comments was getting in on the bit, and I was gifted with the greatest word I've seen in many years in which one of the people doing the bit was talking about male firewomen getting hysterical in crisis situations

And used the word "testerical"

TESTERICAL. I LOVE IT.
