Happy 7th Sunday.
🔥 Quick spells when it's too hot to think
Is it just me or are things have gotten way too hot lately? Here are some quick spells to keep your mind level-headed, even in the warmest heatwave...
🔥 Place an ice cube inside your mouth, close your eyes, and focus on your intentions for the day. Keep drawing your mind to it until the cube has fully melted.
🔥 Place a jar of water in the sun at the peak of temperature. In the winter, you can use this sun water for spells that call for warmth and strength.
🔥 Light a red candle for courage. Write what you fear most on a bay leaf, then burn it with the candle, ideally at sunrise. The sun will take care of getting rid of the rest.
🔥 Find a source of water, and submerge yourself in it. Even if it's just your bathtub filled with fresh water, there's something powerful in submerging your body. This is most potent at midnight, once the moon is out.
🔥 Ground your feet on the earth in the morning and at night. Speak to the sun as it's rising in the sky, and wish it goodnight in the evening. The sun is associated with strength, power and high energies. Use this wisely.
🔥 Do not attempt weather magic unless you know what you're doing. After a few days of warmth you may find yourself tempted to call for rain. Resist this urge. Weather magic is attempting to cause change to intricate, interconnected systems that can have serious impacts in totally unexpected ways.

Carmelite Water
It's believed that the Carmelite order of monks or nuns created this water somewhere in the seventeenth century. Spiritually, this potion is used as a road opener (removing blocks), cleanser (banishing and removing energy), and for blessings.

1/2 cup angelica leaves and stems, chopped
1 tablespoon cloves

1/2 tablespoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
4 cups vodka, gin or brandy
Place the dry ingredients in a 1-quart glass jar, and add the alcohol. Stir and shake well. Place in a cool, dry place and let steep for two weeks. Strain through cheesecloth into a new jar. It will keep for up to four months.
Dosage: one tablespoon daily as needed to soothe anxiety.

This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years.
If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life.
I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.

Did you know that the phrase "Once Upon a Time" might have actual ancient Greek origins?
This is the famous neck amphora that belongs to the Attic red-figured technique and the artist is said to be Kleophades Painter;
(Image from the British museum archive)
Everyone has seen this image as the representation of a rhapsodist, a professional performer that was walking from place to place and would perform epic poems or other stories by rhythmically telling them with the assistance of his walking stick, but do you know there are two inscriptions in this?
One is located beneath his feet;
The inscription says ΚΑΛΟΝΕΙ which means either καλόν εἶ "you are/may you be beautiful" (neutral) or it could be a misspelling and be καλός εἶ aka "you are/may you be beautiful" (musculine) and could be the referring to the man. (so either is referring to the man himself or his work )
Probably though the frist and it means the man is beautiful given that καλός means beautiful in appearance. Haha unless "beautiful" is the podium he is standing on or his walking stick hahaha 😆
However if you notice there is an inscription coming out of his mouth too! Hehe yup the man is talking! Talk about some ancient Greek comic art! And the words he says (a bit misspelled) are depicted here;
ΗΟΔΕΠΟΤΕΝΤYPIΝΘI
ὧδε ποτ' ἐν Τύρινθι -> and so once in Tyrinis
So the rhapsodist essentially starts his story with "And so once upon a time"
So now you know! Hahahaha would you like to hear the rest of this guy's story? What could it be about? Food for thought!
"On high the roof — Hymen (Hymenaeus)! — rise up, you carpenters! — the bridegroom is coming."

Ασκληπιοσ|Asclepius|Aesculapius
Orphic Hymn 67 to Asclepius (trans. Taylor) (Greek hymns C3rd B.C. to 2nd A.D.) : "To Asklepios (Asclepius), Fumigation from Manna. Great Asklepios, skilled to heal mankind, all-ruling Paian (Paean), and physician kind; whose arts medicinal can alone assuage diseases dire, and stop their dreadful rage. Strong, lenient God, regard my suppliant prayer, bring gentle health, adorned with lovely hair; convey the means of mitigating pain, and raging deadly pestilence restrain. O power all-flourishing, abundant, bright, Apollon's honoured offspring, God of light; husband of blameless Hygeia (Health), the constant foe of dread disease, the minister of woe: come, blessed saviour, human health defend, and to the mortal life afford a prosperous end."
Please heal my body lord Asclepius, great healer of mankind, hear my prayer and accept my offering. Thank you Lord.

Diomedes prevented by Apollo from pursuing Aeneas
— Josiah Wedgwood
"To Apollon. Blest Paian (Paean), come, propitious to my prayer, illustrious power, whom Memphian tribes revere, Tityoktonos (Slayer of Tityos), and the god of Health, Lykoreus (Lycoreus), Phoibos (Phoebus), fruitful source of wealth: Pytheion (Pythian), golden-lyred, the field from thee receives its constant rich fertility. Titan, Gryneion, Smyntheus, thee I sing, Pythoktonos (Python-Slayer), hallowed, Delphion king: rural, light-bearing Daimon, and Mousagetos (Leader of the Muses), noble and lovely, armed with arrows dread: far-darting, Bakkhion (Bacchian), twofold and divine, power far diffused, and course oblique is thine. O Delion king, whose light-producing eye views all within, and all beneath the sky; whose locks are gold, whose oracles are sure, who omens good revealest, and precepts pure; hear me entreating for he human kind, hear, and be present with benignant mind; for thou surveyest this boundless aither all, and every part of this terrestrial ball abundant, blessed; and thy piercing sight extends beneath the gloomy, silent night; Beyond the darkness, starry-eyed, profound, the table roots, deep-fixed by thee, are found. The world's wide bounds, all-flourishing, are thine, thyself of all the source and end divine. 'Tis thine all nature's music to inspire with various-sounding, harmonious lyre: now the last string thou tunest to sweet accord, divinely warbling, now the highest chord; the immortal golden lyre, now touched by thee, responsive yields a Dorian melody. All nature's tribes to thee their difference owe, and changing seasons from thy music flow: hence, mixed by thee in equal parts, advance summer and winter in alternate dance; this claims the highest, that the lowest string, the Dorian measure tunes the lovely spring: hence by mankind Pan royal, two-horned named, shrill winds emitting through the syrinx famed; since to thy care the figured seal's consigned, which stamps the world with forms of every kind. Hear me, blest power, and in these rites rejoice, and save thy mystics with a suppliant voice."
