To ease the passing

Down feathers, to cushion the transition. To make it soft.

Lamb’s wool, for the same.

Primary feathers, to help the soul fly away.

Willow leaves, for peace.

Magnolia leaves, for sweetness.

Bay leaves, for strength.

Rosemary, to soothe the nerves.

Cypress berry, to ground the charm in its context, death.

Psalm 23. (Cliché, but honestly the most fitting.)

Create a sachet using your components in your preferred method. I additionally threw in a few Hail Marys. Give the sachet to, or place it near, the subject of the working. In my case, this will be under the bed, hidden in an Altoid tin.

Please reblog?

Hi all. I’m a 33-yo hedge witch. I’m also a student of art and folkloric history, and work in a new age/witch shop. I’m pretty established in my own practices, but I’m trying to learn more about others so I can help educate others who are just starting out on their own path, or so I can direct them to resources or communities online. I’d also just like to learn! I’m looking to follow more witch and religious tumblrs. I’m interested in meeting people who blog about:

Santeria

Vodou/Voodoo

Conjure/Rootwork/Hoodoo

Indigenous Practices (Of any indigenous culture)

African Tribal Religions/Practices

Kemetism / Egyptian Neopaganism

Hedge Witchcraft/Hedge-Riding

Cunningfolk Practices

Eurocentric Folk Magic

Appalachian Folk Magic

Nordic Neopaganism/Heathenism (of the non-exclusionary variety, please)

Necromancy

Spirit Work / Death Witchcraft

Death midwifery

Folk Superstitions, Witchcraft, and Practices

I’m also looking for witches over 30 to connect with on Tumblr.

I apologize if I’ve mislabeled, misnamed, or unintentionally disrespected any of these items - I’m still learning. I should also note that I am white, and understand if anyone is uncomfortable with this request. TL;DR I would like to learn about practices not my own, respectfully and without appropriative intent.
