Boneset Spell (2/25/17)

The Spell (The Goodly Spellbook):

Technically to be used on another injured person; however I used it on myself and it still worked.

For most wounds, bruises, pains, etc.

Call upon Gods and Goddesses of Healing

Place a hand above the wound, rocking steadily to your own set rhythm

Imagine the pain fleeing the body.

Repeat the following as many times as you see fit (I repeated it three times, and it worked for me, but this is about you and/or the person you are healing):

This is the spell that I intone,

Flesh to flesh, and bone to bone,

Sinew to sinew, and vein to vein,

And (injured’s name) is made whole again.

Adding ‘So mote it be’ could have an effect but is not necessary(?)

Variation:

Merseburg Incantation:

Bone sprain like blood sprain like limb sprain,

Bone to bone, blood to blood, limb to limb,

like they were glued.

Adding ‘So mote it be’ could have an effect but is not necessary(?)

My Experience:

Previously, I had fallen whilst ice skating and injured myself fairly badly. Calling upon Woden, I recited the first spell three times (saying ‘So mote it be’ at the end). Within a day, the spell began to work, taking a lot of the pain off of my backside. By the time I fell asleep, there was only a minute bit of pain that didn’t effect me all that much. Being a beginner witch, I would say this spell worked fairly amazingly and went off without a hitch. Thanks be to Woden.

Year and a day week 19-understanding dreams

Week 19

Understanding dreams

Dreaming is how our subconscious tells our conscious mind the things we need to know. Here are some common dream themes and their meanings to get you started understanding your own dreams.

Animals-When dreaming about animals it is your instincts trying to send you a message. The message will come from the type of animal you are dreaming about. For instance, if you are dreaming about a lion and you are riding on it or petting it, your subconscious is trying to tell you that you’re ready to take charge of a situation. If the lion is chasing or mauling you, then you are afraid of taking charge or feel you have lost all control over the situation.

Babies-There is a part of you that has been neglected. It needs to be nurtured. Take time to think about what is lacking in your life or that needs to mature. This is where you should focus your energies. Perhaps you have always wanted to open a business and the idea has always been there. Now is the time to take it from the idea stage to the planning stage.

Being chased-So you dream about someone or something chasing after you. This is your subconscious telling you that you are unwilling to face your own demons. Maybe you are jealous and don’t want to admit it or perhaps you know deep down that you really want to love someone but your heart has been broken so many times you are afraid of trying or again. When you are being chased, it is more about what you are running from in your waking life than who it or what is chasing after you.

Dead people-This should not be confused with death or funerals. For this, I am referring to people who have passed on but seem very much alive in your dream. Maybe you are the only one who can see them or talk to them. It is as if they aren’t really there, a ghost or an echo of the person they once were. If you are talking to them, pay attention to what they have to say, they may be trying to give you a message that your awake mind cannot hear.

Death or funeral-Death and funeral dreams do not mean that someone close to you is going to die. They represent an aspect of your life that has changed or that you have decided to change.

Divorce-This one has an almost literal meaning. Even if you’re not ready to throw in the towel just yet on a partnership, the fear is strong enough that it is time to look deeply at the root of the problem you and your partner are having. This can also mean the parting of a piece of yourself. Are you transitioning from one career that you have had for a long time to start another? Divorce or separation of a partnership can be more than just the person you have chosen to spend your life with.

Dying-Once again I have to bring up that death and dying are not always so literal. Much like the death in the tarot, death in your dreams is about a transformation. A child might dream about the death of a parent when they fear their own transition into adulthood. A parent might dream of a dying child as their child is transitioning for adolescence into teens. When you have dreams that feel bleak or dire, try not to fret too much. Look at a bigger picture and try to figure out why you are having these dreams. Are you making major changes to your life? Is it time to make a change? There is no need to worry about death in dreams, at least not most of the time.

Falling-Dreaming about falling may indicate that you are feeling insecure or anxious about something. When you fall, it isn’t really the fall you are afraid of. It is the feeling of not being in control and you know when you hit the bottom it is going to hurt. If this is a recurring dream for you as it is with many people, try and figure out how you can take more control of your waking life. Are you financially secure? Is your relationship or job secure? Have you had surgery and someone has to take care of you? When you start to look at these things you can figure out why you are spiraling out of control in your dreams.

Fire-Dreaming about fire symbolizes, passion, desire, anger, purification, illumination, destruction, transformation. When dreaming about fire concentrate on how you feel around the fire. My last dream of fire is a good example. I have been deathly afraid of fire since I was a little girl and watch the truck my father was working on catch fire. My last fire dream involved me being trapped by fear in my grandmother’s burning house. My uncle who had recently passed away was there and so was my grandmother who had passed on several years ago, all of those symbols led me to understand that I needed to make a very drastic change in my life but I was too afraid to do so. It would be several years later before I was ready to make the changes needed.

Flying-When you are dreaming about flying you are feeling good about something in your waking life. Things are going well and you should take this as a sign to stay the course.

Having sex-In many cases it isn’t about the act of having sex but more about combining aspects of the sexual partner with your waking self. If that person is more caring and giving, perhaps this is something you can make more of an effort to do when you are awake.

Houses-No matter how a house represents itself in your dream you should consider this a representation of your true self. This is how you see yourself. Dreaming of a pink house full of your family, for instance, represents the love you have for them.

Marriage-Dreaming about marriage means you have decided to commit to a specific situation. Making a commitment to join two things that had previously been separate will transform them into something new. Think about what you have recently committed to, did you sign a contract? The commitment you made was the right decision for you at this time.

Monsters-Dreaming about a monster can signify that you need to take a look at how you treat others. It can also mean that you allow others to treat you poorly. To stop being a victim or to stop victimizing others you need to decide you won’t be a victim or bully any longer and make the necessary changes.

Naked-Dreaming about being naked or inappropriately dressed means that you feel exposed or vulnerable in a situation. You have a secret that you are afraid others will discover. Come to terms with what you are feeling guilty about and your vulnerability will fade away.

Pregnancy-Dreaming about pregnancy if you are pregnant then you are just feeling anxious about the pregnancy. For the rest of us, this can represent the birth of a new idea. It can also mean there is some aspect of your personal life that is growing and developing. Maybe you are in school or have just started a new job and have been learning a lot of new things. Keep up the good work and continue to grow whether it is ideas or knowledge, growth is always the right direction to head.

Taking a test-This can also include taking an exam. You are being put to the test over something in your waking life. You will have these dreams when you are feeling anxious in your waking life. Are you preparing for a job interview or other life altering event? When the situation passes in your waking life that has you on edge, so too will these dreams pass.

Trapped-This is one of those literal dreams. Not meaning that you are trapped exactly in the same way you trapped in the dream. In your waking life, you feel you are trapped in a situation. The only way to end this type of dream is by realizing you are the one who holds the keys to your own chains. This can also be significate if you have any type of addiction. If you are wanting to make a break from it now might be the time to take that first step.

Traveling-When you are traveling in a dream it is showing you that even when you feel like your life is at a standstill and stagnant, you really are moving forward. Unless of course, you are traveling backward in your dream, this means you are taking steps backward in your waking life and it is time to reevaluate the situation.

Exercises

1.      Go back through your dream journal and look for significate symbols. Are they beginning to make sense? Are you able to make changes in your waking life that your subconscious is trying to tell you?

2.      Look at the symbolism in your dreams and go through some dream dictionaries to determine what your dreams are trying to tell you.

3.      Continue working with your preferred method of scrying. Seek their guidance to determine what your dreams mean. Ask them how you should proceed to make any needed changes in your waking life.

4.      A spell to clear your mind that you can try.

Set up your altar, cast your circle and call the quarters.

Use whatever candles, incense and herbs you feel will help clear your mind.

The Spell

I untie the knots on my mind

I clear the cobwebs that muddle me

Be gone the can nots you’re not welcome here

Enter the can dos with my blessing

I see what is being shown to me

I control what I do with this information

Harm me not as I unknot

As I will so mote it be

NASTY WITCH’S BREW PROTECTION POTION

cayenne pepper

coffee (turkish if possible, but any is okay - choose black coffee over any other coffee tho)

salt and/or black salt

black pepper

basil

mint

bay leaf

onions

lemon

iron nails

black tourmaline, amethyst, red jasper (these are the crystals i have for protection and strength, you can arrange a crystal grid of any sort you want, or you don’t even have to have a crystal grid, the idea of this is to add more power to the potion. a simple representation of the elements would do good too. or a spiderman comic book idk whatever floats your boat)

chosen piece of jewelry 

a shell

boil all ingredients in a small pot, the smaller the better. when it’s done draw an eye on a piece of paper with an X over the eye - this symbolizes the ‘evil eye’ not being able to harm you. the piece of paper should be as big as the pot because you’re gonna need to put it over the pot and let the sigil activate by the steam from the potion. add the grid around the pot, and after a few moments of letting the steam get to the sigil, add the piece of jewelry right in the middle of the eye and add the shell on top of the jewelry.

Cutting energy cords

Energy cords are things that tie us to other people, spirits, and things in our life. They form for many reason and in different ways, but this post is about removing them so you can remove unwanted people from your life. Cords can be removed in a bunch of different ways. Just removing someone from your life weakens or removes some cords, but this post is about speeding up the removal process through energy work. (this is all from my experience with energy work and cord cutting, you might see or experience the process differently.)

First thing you need to do is identify the person you are cutting ties with, and all the ties you might have to them. For example, I had a EX who left my life years ago and i did a cord cutting for our relationship, but i didn’t notice at the time that there were more cords connect me to them because they were more then just a person i dated. They meant a lot to me in different ways like how they were the only person i could talk to about certain things and we had built different aspects to our relationship outside of romantic ties that i ignored because on an unconscious level i didn’t want to give up that significance they had to me. This can take time to really figure out all the different roles a single person could have played in your life so don’t rush the process.

Once you know the different aspects to your relationship to this individual it’s time to go to work and start finding and removing them. I begin by doing the basic like grounding and centering myself and then start meditating until i reach a trance-like state.

Once in a deep meditative state you need to go out of body or visualize this person standing across from you. If you go out of body “find” the person you’re looking for and get a real feel for there energy at this moment. If you are visualizing them standing across from you pick an environment around you that makes you feel comfortable and in control and visualize that place. You need to really be able to create the feel of that person in your mind. This can be done by bringing up memories and/or by using things that belonged to them that you still have. It need’s to be an honest portrayal of that person, including the good and the bad.

Once you can feel and see that person in front of you start locating and/or visualizing these cords. You might notice there are more then one cord for each connection to this person you are cutting, this just means the bond between you and them was built up over time.

now the removal process begins. depending on the cord you are removing it might be better to cut them, or relocate them to other people in your life so you don’t leave an energy hole to be filled. When removing a cord you need to cut BOTH ENDS. This is very important. If you only cut your end or their end it will leave the cord just hanging there for someone or something else to latch onto to or it can just reattach to the person you just removed it from. You can remove these cord by pulling them out of your body and their body with your bare hands. This can be good when you have some pent up aggression for this person to really feel it being removed your you and their chest with your own (energy) hands. You can imagine/use anyway you want to remove or cut them, just make sure you do it from both sides of the cord and then obliterate it. I like to make them dissolve.

If you are relocating a cord from one person to another start the process again from the beginning with this new person, but you wont need to figure out all the aspect of your relationship to this person. take some time to really consider things before you implant one cord into another person. Just because you feel a certain way about someone doesn’t mean that want that same type of bond. It’s always a good thing to ask the other person before doing this. If you have a thought cord like this strong sense of love or trust that cutting will only cause a lot more pain reattach the cord to someone who you ALREADY have a similar connection to. Take the end out from the person you are removing this connection too and implant it into this other person. Watch it take root inside them and feel it change inside you to fit this new person.

The most important thing you need to do now to end this processes is to do some healing on yourself, and hopefully the other person too. Even tho you might not like them, leaving someone energy holes that didn’t occur on their own before you messed with things isn’t cool. So fill these tiny hole with healing energy of some kind. use any method you want. It might also be good to have someone you trust do some healing for you and them too, to really fill in some of the energy damages that might have occurred.

Come out of your meditation and return to normal activities. it might be good to take it slow and do some more grounding and centering because you might have just altered some important connections you relayed on more heavily then you through. take it slow for a day or too and practice some self care because cutting cords can be some heavy emotional stuff.

Setting Up Your Altar: Litha

Today is Litha (June 20th), and the sun has returned in bathe the earth is beautiful light (and heat). Crops and most flowers are full bloom, or are about to bloom, and spending as much time outdoors is a must. 

If you cannot put your altar outside, place it as close to a window as possible.

Here are some ways you can decorate your altar.

Colors of the Season

Yellow

Orange

Red

Gold

Symbols

Sun

Brighid’s Cross

Pinwheels 

Discs

Swastika (before it was ever the symbol for Hitler and the Nazis, it was a symbol of hope, and used widely in Asian religions and cultural mostly in Hindu and even used in Scandinavia)

Other Symbols of Litha

Flowers

Gods Eyes

Trees (oak and acorns)

Sandalwood, Saffron, Frankincense and Laurel

Litha is also about the battle between light and dark. Although light (the sun) is strong now, in another six or so months the days will become shorter once more and darkness with win. Light and dark must battle for supremacy or who will rule as the change of seasons come about. You can decorate your altar with symbols of triumph of light versus dark. That includes using other opposites such as fire and water, night and day.

Wolf Moon altar, January 2014.

Winter is strong now. Wolf winds, wolf dreams. Things bleed together, when I dream wolf dreams. So we have an esbat with some Three-Realm energy going on. It flows. No moon to be seen tonight, through the snow, but the wolves are still singing in the wind.

Don’t put random things on my fucking altar - the memoir of an angry pagan.

Journal 5 Healers find my presence uneasy to them, they believe things can be solved by nature and what the wind and grounds have to provide us. My use of magic and powerful words disgusts them … But I believe it scares them.. The unknown is terrifying to them. Something they can not control or see brings fear to their hearts.. Only but one .. This one healer isn’t afraid of me.. Her name is emari. Very young for a healer. I know for a fact she is still an apprentice of a mentor healer in the kingdom. She says hello to me whenever I step foot out of the castle, she questions of magic and how similar she thinks it is to medicine and healing. She is not mistaken. She reminds me a lot of myself … When I was young .. My mentor always knew how to make me smile. And butterflies make her smile.

Summoning butterflies / spell

Summoning butterflies isn’t calling upon them. It is shapeshifting the worms from under the soil to turn to butterflies.

By spreading your hands with open palms facing the ground chant these words “worming around the soil grounds, Dark, shapeless and brown appear before me beautiful and sound With colors shining like the Kings crown” #grimoire #spellbook #spells #watercolor #butterfly #call #summoning #rayraywolfie
