Black Bottle Hex

Obtain a dark bottle; clay, glass or ceramic will do. Also obtain a selection of thorns, nine pins, vinegar, and a candle.

Insert the thorns first. Then heat each pin over the candle's flame and name them for your enemy (and their co-conspirators, if any). Drop into the bottle. Fill with vinegar and cap tightly.

"Witch's bottle, thorn and pin

blast their home, their kith and kin

swirl in enmity and strife;

cursed be their house and life."

Bury the bottle, upside down, where they will be sure to walk past or over it.

Magic in healthcare: Healing Pain and Slowing the Breath

Working in an inpatient acute physical therapy department means I spend a lot of time working with people in pain. Post-surgical pain, or day to day pain. With the work I do pain can be a big limiting factor in someone's mobility, so I've taken to applying magic to these moments to see what I can alleviate. A big part of my practice is working in spirit, and engaging in flight while in mild to deep trance. I also have some training in healing through the laying on of hands, in the form of reiki and other modalities. So I took to utlizing these two skills in tandem with my patients.

I began developing these skills by taking what I call memory walks around the units I work on. When meditating and engaging in flight I project myself to these units, and just move through the space in memory and spirit. Trying to make it as visceral as possible. Focusing on the smells, sounds, textures, as well as the sight of these spaces. This gave me a better feel for this space in spirit, and helped strengthen my spiritual senses in these spaces. When I could instantly view these rooms in my mind I moves on to applying this skill.

Attending to Pain in Spirit:

When working to moralize a patient who is experiencing post-operative pain, I'll start by visualizing the surgery they had and what it's done to the body. That way, when I walk into their room, my mind is already attuned to where their pain is likely to be. I'll greet the patient and begin the session, and as pain arrives I'll try to have dual awareness. Focusing on the present moment while also seeing my spirit slip past the boundaries of my body and start to attend to the individual's painful areas. In spirit, I'll lay my hands on the area and draw out any denser energies I sense while flooding the area spiritual light. Sometimes, I'll see this light slithering through the patient's body like a serpent, moving to where it's most needed without my directly guiding it.

In my time doing this, I've noticed that people tend to respond well and are able to work through their discomfort more frequently when I'm in this mild trance state.

Slowing the Breath:

I've been playing around with the practice of stealing someone's breath when in spirit flight. Usually, this is done as a type of malefica, but I've been exploring its uses within healing work. Where someone's breathing might be rapid, pressured, and contributing to their anxiety.

To do this, I'll strive to enter a light trance where my spirit slides just beyond my body. That way I can lean in close to the patient without physically getting up in their space. When my spirit is face to face with them I'll breath in, in body and spirit, pulling the air out of lungs. Watching it flow from their chest, to their mouth, and into me. From time to time I'll do the opposite for people short of breath too, and exhale my breath into them.

With this technique, I've been able to see the effects in real time on monitors. People's jumping o2 levels become leveled out, their hyperventilating slows, or they gain control of their breath once again. If im breathing into them, their o2 might come right up. It's been an interesting phenomenon I've gotten to observe and play with, and encourage anyone in bedside care to try applying non-trandional methods of healing in their practice.

Malefica

Like other hadrosaurs, Malefica was herbivorous, processing plant matter with its broad beak and battery of teeth. It grew to around 6 m long, and weighed about 1 t. The discovery of Malefica helped to understand the distribution of hadrosaurs in Cretaceous North America, as well as evolutionary lineages between basal hadrosaurs and the more derived saurolophids.
