Markedsforberedelser i gang?

Da har solen snudd og en ny markedssesong føles så mye nærmere. Det klør i fingrene og lengselen begynner å slå inn. Hvilke vikingmarkeder skal du på i år? Jeg begynner med Ale vikingmarked i Sverige. Jeg skal treffe gode venner og kose meg masse. Jeg pleier å ha en bod jeg selger ting jeg lager i løpet av vinteren i. Men jeg har problemer med å velge hva jeg skal lage. Jeg har rett å slett lyst…

Bay Leaves & Wishes

For a long time, bay leaves have been associated with divination & visions, and have been bestowed upon people as a symbol of triumph or achievement. In my craft, I harness the power of bay leaves to help grant wishes and focus intent.

How: when you use a bay leaf to make a wish, the whole process feels like pure magic. Write the wish or the target of your intent onto the leaf, then dip it into a candle flame until it is lit (only until it is lit! remove it once a flame starts!). Bay leaves burn with a really unique type of flame. It crackles and sings, and in my experience, doesn’t produce much smoke. It’s even better to do at night, in a dimly lit room, because the flame of the bay leaf takes on a life of its own.

As the bay leaf burns, the power of your wish or the focus of your intent is released into the air (to your deities, the spirits, the universe, or whomever you send your hopes to).

When burning the leaf: not all leaves burn equally! Some only singe a little, some will burn halfway then stop, and others will get entirely engulfed by the flame, leaving nothing but charred remnants. In my experience, each type of burning has a meaning to it. If the leaf burns entirely, the wish/intent is pure and has the best possibility of coming true. A leaf that only burns half way means just that - there is only a 50/50 chance of the desired outcome becoming a possibility. And when the fire only singes a small portion of the leaf, then goes out, the wish/intent is not something that is within your control. This does not mean the wish/intent won’t come true, it just means that what happens is up to the universe, not you.

Using bay leaves in this manner is a quick way to get your intent out into the world, and is perfect for witches who have little time for more complex rituals or spells <3

DIY: Brews and Potions

Witches standing over an open fire while stirring up potions in a cauldron is one of the many romanticized views of witchcraft. Today, witches brew many things for love, luck, health, wealth, and etc. Potions are a widely regarded instrument for witches. Potions are simply liquid spells that can be taken internally or applied externally to the body. Teas, enchanted perfumes, tinctures, and washes are the many forms these spells can come in. Some are used for healing, others are used in ritual or magickal work. 

Kitchen Herbs and Common plants for Brews

Back in the day, homemade teas and salves were the only medicine available. Using these things today is still very popular and a holistic approach to health that treats the mind, body, and soul together. What you use does not have to be expensive, it can come from your back yard or your home. Many of what you already have you can use to make tinctures, teas, and decoctions. Also, syrups, tonics, waters, and vinegars. If you work with the herbs you have at home already on hand, you will be able to create your own remedy with a distinct local flavor. 

The Power Behind the Plants

It is believed that many spiritual forces animate the world; called animism. When working with a plant or crystal, or performing a spell or ritual at a specific place, witches work with the spirits behind those plants or crystals, and call upon the spirit of that location to help them in their work. There is a special partnership and alliance between the witch and spirit, manifesting in forms of animals (familiars) or in the form of other plants, crystals, and locations. Over time, working with these spirits on various projects will deepen the relationship and the witch will gain information on magical associations, properties, and lore. These things often come through dreams, inspirations, or visions. The spirit will gain energy, attention, and physical shelter as animals or plants or crystals carried as a talisman.
