A Rite to Brew Ensorcelled Water
In the Shakespearean Folger library, the summation of which makes up "The Book of Oberon", words of power are described which Adam spoke in Paradise to speak with different nonhuman creatures. The text explains:
“Here followeth the names of Semoferas which God gave to Adam in Paradise, in which be four letters compared and likened to the four parts of the world, to the four elements…” (Harms, Daniel, James R. Clark, and Joseph H. Peterson, eds. The Book of Oberon: A Sourcebook of Elizabethan Magic. Woodbury: Llewellyn Publications, 2016 pg. 163, Folger V.B.26).
The original grimoire says that “Adam spake” with many different creatures by use of these words, meaning that these words open up channels of communication between nonhuman entities. The revelation of the truth of animism may be accomplished through these words... I began to glean and draw from parts which I had success with fifteen years ago, including using the following “Semoferas” words some ten years ago or so.
Without further ado, this is the rite that causes the Water necessary for ritual baptism and all other manner of sorceries concerning such Water to be created. For spells which bring a Poppet to life or grant initiation, harvest a local herb that is known to be an herb of beginning: good trees to look out for include Aspen, Birch, Myrtle, Fig, Orange, Apple, or Peach. These trees are womb-like, nurturing and fiery.
To put yourself in contact with the Otherworld for works of sorcery, look to harvest Acacia, Ash, Maple, Oak, Rowan, Pine, or Willow. For protection, Cypress and Juniper trees are best when dealing with a malevolent spirit, as are herbs from the Salvia family, the Sage species, for cleansing. Whatever you pick, it must be local to you.
I usually use Aspen or Birch for workings of birth, Oak or Pine for workings of typical sorcery and Otherworld contact, and Juniper for protection. All of these trees grow in my yard. I also love to use Rowan, but it is scarce in the Forest near me, so I use it sparingly.
I also take my water source into consideration, preferring snow melt, river, or storm water to purified water, and putting a crystal charged by the last Full Moon (and stored covered) into the water after cooling just as the Cherokee priests and Irish seers did long ago when making their own distinct forms of "holy water".
Without using metal to harvest and without setting down the plant parts to touch the ground, take a little bark and/or some leaves while saying these words:
“Liaham, Lialgana, Liafar, Vialurab, Lelara, Lebaron, Laasalilas. The Hand of the Banebdjedet is plucking you, dryad of this (_____) tree [or “nymph of this (_____) herb” or “anthousai of this (_____) flower”]: that you would not withdraw the essence of yourself which I pluck from your body, but rather bless my sorcerous work. Here is a blessing for your aid”,
and at that, drop some clotted cream, honey, or other mixture that is not harmful to the body of the plant upon the ground at the roots. Any time you use a plant in sorcery, you must say these words.
Next, boil some water, and as it is boiling, say these words to the water:
“Letamynyn, Letaglogen, Letafyryn, Babaganarityn, Letarimitim, Letagelogrim, Letafatazin. Mastriss Phorbas whispers to you, blessed nixie: become clean and pure and dissolve the essence of this (_____). The Hand of Noumios Luterios is offering this herb to you that you may give (newness and purity/the blessing and favor of the Good Neighbors/protection and cleansing) to whatever you touch”,
and then, you drop the herb into the water to boil. Any time you are addressing a spirit within an elemental object, those words may be used to clear the way of communication. What I mean is that whenever you are addressing rivers, stones, or fires for the purpose of sorcery, even if it is to take a stone and leave a small offering in exchange or some other small thing, those archaic barbarous words should be used before stating your intentions and your exchange. Once cool, the Ensorcelled Water is complete.
