Wyrd Webs: So I came up with this concept as I used to always tie twigs and branches together for magical purposes. Then after I’d learned a few knots etc I decided to make a little mobile sort type design with some hagstones and such. Items from my local environment and stuff I had lying around the house. My basic pattern follows a few rules: 1. I always use Elder wood as it’s sacred to the goddess. I usually use 3 or 4 twigs for a good structure. 2. Ask the tree and give thanks always. 3. As I tie the three of four twigs together to make the basic frame I will envision the wyrd sisters/Nornir/Fates aping their wheel. Sometimes I’ll hum, tbh making up a song for this first action of tieing the twigs would be a nice idea and easy to personalise for your own craft. 4. I find things I can add to the web. Personal items work if this web’s purpose is to guide you in life. However you can use whatever you want to personalise this web. But the basic purpose of a wyrd web is to guide you on your path. So a sea witch may add shells, driftwood etc. Give it your personal flair. 5. I tie string to one corner, and make continuous loops until I’ve circled back around to the first. Then you zig zag the string following your intuition in any direction you choose. Do this while humming or singing and visualising your personal path in life and where you want to go. (Or the spell you’re weaving, if you’re using the web for a specific spell). 6. When you’re complete tie then end off in a convenient corner of the web. Now you can add your collected items. Weave them into the web or tie them so they dangle on the mobile. Add beads, leaves, twigs from your local area to blend in local energies. I hope this helped explain what Wyrd Webs are, and if you have any helpful things to add then go for it. This may not be a concept unique to me, so forgive me if you’ve also done a similar thing. I made these from my own intuition and have used them in my practice since near the beginning. I hope they’re as much of a help to you as they have been to me. Sussex Pellar
