🌀 Energetic Healing; Waterbending Style 🌀

A method of healing inspired by Katara, and other waterbending healers. It is as close to my heart as this show is. Below are two ways I use this method ~

In the Bath ~

🌀 This method is best used for self healing

🌀 Create your own “spirit water” by adding amethyst, moon water & healing herbs to your bath. I like to use rosemary and bay leaves.

🌀 Lay back, and close your eyes.

🌀 Visualize yourself in the water. Picture a ray of light scanning back and forth over you, like above.

🌀 As it sweeps over you, visualize it to removing any negativity.

🌀 Sometimes I notice it get “stuck” on a certain area, or start to move slowly. This usually indicates a blockage. Focus on those areas a little more intently.

🌀 When you are finished, stand up, and do one last sweep, downwards. Imagine the water droplets falling off of you are the last of your negativity.

🌀 As the bath empties, all negative build-up goes with it.

Healing Yourself & Others ~

🌀 This method is done purely with visualization and moon water, specifically charged with the intent to heal. It can also be done in the astral.

🌀 Place the moon water in a bowl in front of you. Bonus: drop a piece of quartz in to amplify it’s effects. An infusion like the one used in the first method can be used as well.

🌀 Visualize the water rising up out of the bowl and surrounding your hands, like Katara does.

🌀 Now, like the first method, start scanning. Run your hands over yourself or your client, searching for blockages. (If you already know the area you’d like to heal, you can skip this step.)

🌀 As your hands work back and forth across the area you are healing, visualize the water sweeping through, washing away any negative or stagnant energy.

🌀 Allow it to break through any blockages, clearing them.

🌀 When finished, let the water fall back into the bowl, taking all negativity with it. Thank the element, before safely disposing of it.

Things to Consider ~

🌀 Visualization and intent are key. You don’t need to use physical water, I just find it helps.

🌀 Do what feels right to you. Intuition is so important in healing. This method came to me one day while I was soaking in the tub. I instantly connected it to how Katara heals, and built off of that. Since then, the series continues to inspire my methods. I use hand movements often while doing energy work, so it works for me.

🌀 Healing takes time. It may take a few sessions to really clear away any build-ups or blockages. Be patient with yourself.

Happy Healing!

Blood of my blood Flesh of my flesh Light of the moon The gate is open The key is made That the thought made word The word made flesh The flesh made manifest That the world be changed The vessel is prepared to receive the spirit The vessel is prepared as the way To the will when spoken made flesh The flesh to be what manifests That what manifests shall change the worlds

Conjuration of the Vessel; Grimoire of Arts by Bryan Lovering (via visardistofelphame)

joannethewitch

OK this is for all my Witches and Witchlings.

Don’t let money or tools be the center of your craft. Don’t wait for the metaphorical planets to align.

Do what you want to or need to do with what you have. Use the three year old candle, the empty jar of yogurt and the half dead potted plant.

Don’t be afraid to do your Craft even if you can’t have 10 tarot decks and four different types of rose quarz. Clensed and blessed bottle water can be just as effective as rain or river water.

We all want beautiful altars and a dozen self grown herbs for our spells. The problem is, not all of us can have that. And that’s OK.

You are the center of your magic. What you decide is the most important thing. You decide if the purple craft glitter represents amethyst or not. You put the magic in the water or the cards or the stone.

Without you there would be no magic.

So please remember, having a lot of different tools is great. But the most important one, the one that makes everything possible in the first place, is you.

Psychic Gifts best suited for the Signs

Before I begin my list, I want everyone to know it is possible to practice and fine tune all of these abilities. Every person has the ability to open their third eye, aka decalcify the pineal gland, which then can help open up your 6th sense as long as you practice at it.

Aries - Clairvoyant: This type of psychic ability is best suited to Aries, who has to see it to believe it. Feeling things and communication isn’t normally your forte, but when you can physically see something, it is much easier for you to work with. Auror reading falls under this category, almost anything that you can see falls under this category.

Taurus - Psychometrist: Reading information contained in the energy of objects would best be suited to Taurus, who rules over the physical plane and material objects. Not to mention your affinity for material possessions and pretty objects makes you more inclined to be able to sense and read information contained inside of objects. These are the type of psychics that are brought into the evidence room

Gemini - Psychographer: This is the practice where you translate non-physical consciousness through “psychic writing”. This is where you tune out and just write on an unconscious level while tapping into otherworldly energies and just write what ever comes to your hand. And since Gemini rules the house of writing, this would be the more natural ability for you to develop.

Cancer - Clairsensitive: This ability is all about feeling. It is sometimes confused with intuition, which is slightly different on a few levels. Cancers are deeply sensitive and connected to their feelings, so it is only natural that you have the ability to feel surrounding energies and thing on a non-physical conscious plane.

Leo - Precognition: This is the ability to read all the possibilities of the future, and Leos have such a great imagination and desire for a positive future, that you often find yourself imagining what your own future would be like. And this ability can be translated to other people if you learn to use your imagination to sense out what possibilities someone has in their future. Though future readings are never easy and always have different possibilities, because nothing is ever set in stone and human beings have the gift of free will.

Virgo - Psychic Surgeon: There is no one better for this type of job than the ruler of health and service. When you see someone in pain, it is your instinct and natural desire to do anything you need to do to help them. And as a psychic surgeon you can operate intraphysically on non-physical trauma.

Libra - Telepath: This is the ability to read information mind to mind, and as a Libra with wonderful social grace that comes from your ability to connect with people and form partnerships, this seems like the best option for you.

Scorpio - Lucid Dreamer: This is the ability to consciously know that you are dreaming and to access the dream world, Dream Control is also another step into this world, and what better ability for Scorpio to master than the ability to control your dreams, since you get an odd satisfaction from having power and control.

Sagittarius - Astral Traveler: Sagittarius rules the house of Travel and exploration, and when it comes to astral projection no one is more fearless and eager than you are to leave your physical body and traverse all physical and nonphysical planes.

Capricorn - Retrocognition: The ability to look into past lives is a very sought after gift that many people seek readers out for to explain parts of their personality or fears that are unexplainable. And I think Capricorn would do well with this ability with an affinity for being sought after for advice and a connection to the past.

Aquarius - Psychophoner: This ability allows a nonphysical consciousness to speak through you, and I think this would go well with Aquarius who rules communication on a much larger scale than either Gemini or Libra. Aquarius rules over the tarot card “The Star” because she symbolizes the communication and transferring information from the heavens to the earth.

Pisces - Intuitive: This is an intimate and clear knowledge about a situation, and it is more based off of instinct and immediate reactions and feelings to something. It is the immediate and instinctive part that separates this from clairsensitive, and I think pisces works well with this ability because they are so sensitive and rule over the house of mystics and self undoing.

There and Back Again - Jar Spell

The road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began Now far ahead the road has gone And I must follow if I can

For when you really really need a change in life, and want to bring in a new adventure. (Dwarves not included)

Ginger - for bringing adventure and new experiences. Be heavy handed with this one, it’s the main purpose of the jar.

Cinnamon - multi-purpose, it represents whatever your journey is about (spirituality, success, healing, protection, power, love, luck, strength, prosperity, etc. If it’s part of your personal journey, it’s probably a cinnamon correspondence)

Ground Coffee - to dispel negative thoughts, overcome internal blocks, bring peace of mind, and keep you grounded. Basically erase all doubts that might hold you back in your new adventure.

Also associated with happiness, and I always recommend having SOMETHING in your jar/sachet spells for happiness, because you do NOT want a new adventure that’s basically going to be walking through hell and back.

Pumpkin Pie Spice - for bringing a new beginning through banishment of the old. This is one of my personal correspondences, and you can skip it if you want to or don’t think you need it. I use it as an “out with the old, in with the new” ingredient. Like autumn, and the death of the old to make way for the renewal in spring.

Powdered Egg Shell - for protection. Because as I said before, the last thing you want is to invite a new adventure only to have it turn out to be hell.

Frankincense (essential oil or resin) - for successful ventures

NOTE: If using the essential oil, I create a salt first, since I don’t like adding wet ingredients to a dry jar when I can help it. See how I do it here.

I find it helpful to say aloud the intent of each ingredient as I put it into the jar, especially with something like the cinnamon, where there’s many meanings it could have.

little witchy idea~

There’s nothing wrong with liking Marvel AND Norse mythology

There’s nothing wrong with liking Lord of The Rings AND Norse mythology

There’s nothing wrong with liking fantasy games AND Norse mythology

You are allowed to enjoy modern interpretations of ancient mythology! You are not “less” of a pagan, “less” of an academic or “less” of a person for enjoying fiction!

penofswords

honestly i feel like these things are the “jumping off point” for a lot of people and the way they became interested in paganism

and so… there’s a “cringe factor” there for pagans/heathens who move beyond LOTR/marvel/fantasy renfaires and into what they consider the “real academic stuff”

and like, that kneejerk cringe is understandable, i get it. but also - that feeling of loving and being drawn to something isn’t a bad thing. passion is good and useful! and being at a certain phase in your life journey isn’t inherently bad, it just is.

i think maybe some of the judgier elitists in pagan/heathen circles would do well to be kinder to their past selves - and kinder to newbies! - and remember that emotional pull that first drew them to their path.

elreki-deactivated20170817

I would almost be confident enough to bet real money that at least 80% of young pagans, regardless of Path, first got their toes wet on at least one of these:

-Disney -Marvel/DC -Lord of the Rings or any of its imitators - The Mummy franchise -Game of Thrones/Vikings -numerous video games (ie Skyrim) -and on and on and on

And you know what? That’s perfectly okay. We live in a world that paganism is not the populous religion (in most places) Very few places that you can drive to a living temple to Odin for wisdom. While the pagan revival is growing, it’s still in its infancy. There are very, very few hereditary pagans in the Western world.

So how does paganism gain converts? One big way is media. More than ever, films and games about fantastical legends and mythologies are appearing and doing very well. Anybody could probably list 20 from the last decade alone without trying too hard. Fantasy has easily become a cultural comfort to us. Depictions of dragons, giants, draug/zombies, elves, dwarves, and burly men with axes have been popular since the 70s, but I would argue it took Lord of the Rings’s massive success for it to become cool and relevant. What was once nerd culture to be shunned is now trendy and fun for everybody. This in turn grabs hold of the hearts of people, and some of them may start doing research.

A lot of new people will come to me and be embarrassed to say they got started with comics or Skyrim or Vikings.

They should never be embarrassed!! We are not born with instantaneous knowledge of anything; gods and mythology included! If it was Marvel that made you crack open that dusty old mythology book, wonderful! If it was Dragon Age that made you Google the origins of Elves and Dwarves in fantasy, awesome! Something you saw inspired you, deeply enough to care about it. And that is, at its core, one of many reasons why paganism is a growing thing. It allows us to pursue our individual interests and passions in a deeper manner.

Tldr nobody should be shamed for a work of fiction being their gateway into paganism. Nor should they be shamed after converting. You can still keep your interests and be pagan! You don’t have to sacrifice your hobbies and passions to fulfill a snobby vision of what a pagan should be.

The Siren’s “Learn Your Lesson” Hex

This is a hex that will cause your target to learn their lesson and make their blunders come to light, whether it be fucking with you, a loved one, a friend, whatever. This hex will make them learn.

What You’ll Need

A sea shell with their name written on it

Another sea shell, preferably the same type and size as the shell with the name on it

Black string

Metal tongs

Paper

Pencil/Pen

Black Candle

Black Salt

Salt Water

What To Do

Write each wrong they’ve done on separate pieces of paper.

Burn each paper from the black candle and place each burning paper into the shell with the tongs.

Sprinkle black salt onto the ashes inside the shell and flick the salt water over it while say “Each wrong you’ve done to me and others will come to light and your errors will cost you, you will be treated the same by friends and strangers as you have treated others until you learn your lesson and make amends with everyone you’ve hurt.”

Take the other shell and tie it to the shell with ashes in it to close the ashes inside.

Bury the shell in a spot that will be shaded most parts of the day.

Once you feel they’ve learned their lesson you can break the hex by digging it up and pouring the ashes and salt into a fire.

If you can I’d recommend doing this at nighttime, outdoors in the general direction of where the sea is from you.

Things I've Learned About Gods

Sometimes They introduce Themselves and explain why They are there.

Sometimes They give you no answers and expect you to figure it out yourself. It can take years to start seeing the big picture.

Gods can come for a specific reason.

They can come for no reason.

Sometimes you click really well with one and They teach you what They can, you share some memorable moments you’ll remember for the rest of your life, and then They leave without saying goodbye. You don’t hear from Them again. It takes time, but eventually you make peace with it.

Sometimes They go, but both of you fight tooth and nail to reunite. It takes so long to recover from that. You’re afraid to spend time with Them because you’re scared of losing that connection again. But you heal. You keep healing for a very, very long time.

They’ll ask you for favors. Some will give you nothing in return. Some will return with a gift long after you’ve forgotten about it. Some pay for the favor before They ask you to do something. You learn how to decline and accept favors. You learn which ones you’re content to do, even when They don’t seem to give you anything in return.

There will be a time when you make a beautiful offering. You’ll spend hours making it, having prepped for days before. You’ll pour your soul into it. You’ll offer it and They’ll politely accept it, but you can tell it doesn’t mean the same to Them.

There will be a time when you throw together something silly and small and don’t expect the gods to notice. But They do and They beam with pride and gratitude. It makes you wonder what offerings are to gods.

Gods will reject you. Sometimes it’s permanently. Sometimes They come back a year later and never leave.

You will reject a god. It will haunt you for a long time, but you won’t regret it.

When one comes in, the others assume They are welcome. You get used to unexpected guests.

No matter how long you study or how much you read, you will never truly understand. You don’t really know what it is you don’t understand and They never say, but it hangs in the absence of words.

There are many more beginnings than you would expect.

There are just as many endings. You’ll end up dreading losing something you’ll never lose. You’ll lose what you don’t worry about. You eventually learn how to grab onto the most important things and never let go.

They are in many things. They are in the sweet flowers and the singing birds. They are in the woman in front of you in the grocery store that you buy her groceries for her. They are in the cat that smacks you immediately after you make a joke at Their expense.

There are ones that go by one name, no names, and many names. There are names you will not be able to pronounce. You still try to.

Witch tip

DO NOT CAST SALT CIRCLES IN FORESTS OR ANYWHERE IN NATURE. By doing so you’re permanently harming the environment that you’re supposed to be worshipping and treating with respect. “If working with salt please keep in mind that it is a natural desiccating agent, meaning it sucks out all of the water [therefore] it will kill your grass and destroy the surrounding soil, making it uninhabitable for plants and such.”

dream-with-mii

NATURE-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVES TO SALT: •crushed eggshells •nuts (these work especially well if you work closely to a horned god like cernunnos) •firewood ashes, but try not to use coals when lighting it •sand, which works epecially well over clay soils. Pls dont use artificially colored sand. •stones •herbs (be smart about this) •green or benzonite clays should be okay on dry soils, buut if i could have somebody check me on this that would be awesome.

And ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do your best to sweep up and take home your circle. NEVER LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND because we dont want too much of annnnything in the groundwater systems.

Thanks for the tag. This is very important. Your practice should never risk damaging the environment in a way which will have an effect after you are no longer there to practice. Ideally, set up a single permanent circle using stones or wood, which will not significantly impact the environment, and can be dismantled if it is ever no longer needed. Consider also cutting a length of cord and laying this along the boundary of your circle. Or simply place visible symbols at the four quarters.

There are different types of empaths who employ different psychic empathic traits. These are the 10 levels of the empath: Psychometry - the empathic ability to receive energy, information and impressions from objects, photographs or places Telepathy - the empathic ability to read people’s thoughts Mediumship - the empathic ability to feel the presence and energies of spirits Physical Healing - the empathic ability to feel other people’s physical symptoms in your own body (and often the ability to heal, transform or transmute them) Emotional Healing - the empathic ability to feel another person’s emotions Animal Communication - the empathic ability to hear, feel and communicate with animals Nature - the empathic ability to read, feel and communicate with nature and with plants Geomancy - the empathic ability to read the energy of places and of the land - geomancers can feel the energies of the Earth, such as Ley lines. They can also get headaches, pain or anxiety before earthquakes or other disasters occur anywhere on the planet. Precognition - the empathic ability to feel when something important is about to happen (often this can be a feeling of inexplicable dread or doom) Claircognizance or Knowing - the empathic ability to feel what needs to be done in any given circumstance, often accompanied by a feeling of peace and calm, even in the midst of a crisis Symptoms of being an Empath: •Acute senses – i.e. sense of smell, taste, sight, touch, hearing etc. •Acute awareness of the feelings of those around them and feeling deeply for those in pain or suffering •Often easily hurt •Avoidance of conflict where possible preferring to keep things harmonious •Easily startled by noise •Easily moved to tears because of deep feeling •Nervous in crowded situations •People feel safe around them and able to talk to them easily. Even complete strangers will talk to them about personal things without consciously intending to do so •Animals and children love and are attracted to them •Easily affected by the weather •Their greatest gift is to perceive with the heart •They are usually a blessing to be around as they are nurturing and caring •Music and harmony are very important to them. They can lose themselves completely while listening to music that resonates with them. •Water is very beneficial and therapeutic to the empath Having psychic empathic traits can be extremely challenging, and even painful. The definition of empathic understanding is to be able to feel what another person feels (sometimes both emotionally and physically). Even under normal circumstances, having psychic empathic traits can be confusing and difficult to manage or understand, but in times of global chaos, emotional tidal waves that rip through the collective consciousness can be utterly overwhelming. This is why an empath feels anxiety at these times. Some people consider being an empath to be a paranormal trait, but it is more normal than we realize. Many, many people have psychic empathic traits, but they are usually labeled as being “overly sensitive”. Empaths have a heightened sensitivity, and parapsychologists often refer to them as being “Psi Sensitives”. Some of the characteristics of an empath include being “moody”, or having mood swings for no apparent reason. This is because empaths pick up on the energies and emotions from other people, places, animals, and even things around them. An empath can be feeling fine one moment, then suddenly become depressed or sad or angry, or even develop physical pain and headaches “out of the blue”. Many empaths can feel like they are going crazy, especially empathic children who cannot understand what they are feeling or why they are feeling that way. An empath must learn to trace these feelings back to their origin in order to determine what triggered them. First ask yourself, “Is this mine?” - if the answer is no, then determine when and where it started, and who or what was around you at that time. Some other characteristics of an empath can involve extreme shyness, avoidance of public places, or being overweight (especially in children). These are all ways to try to shield and protect oneself from the psychic abilities of being empathic. An empath can absorb and take on the feelings and symptoms of others just by being near them or even by speaking with them on the phone, which is why an empath feels anxiety when faced with crowds of people.

youarewelcometoexplore

I’d also add that these empathic traits can vary over time and certain traits/abilities we possess at one point may later fade, while at the same time, new empathic abilities may show themselves.

Sally’s True Love Spell

A spell I wrote inspired from the film Practical Magic

This is a fire free spell used to draw in your ideal lover.

This is NOT a spell to make a specific individual fall in love with you.

This spell can also be altered to search for the ideal platonic partner. See the notes section at the end of this post!

Items needed:

- Pick any of the following flower petals and dry them* if you have the time. But fresh petals are also okay. (you don’t need the whole flower just a a couple of petals) You don’t need all of them, I’m just providing as many options as possible: White Carnation (pure love), Dark Red Carnation (Deep Love), white Chrysanthemum (truth and loyal love), Red Chrysanthemum (love), Red Rose (deep love), Yellow rose (friendship/ caring), Orange/Coral rose (passion/energy/desire), Lavender Rose (love at first sight), Tulip (declaration of love/ perfect love) - Any other flower you can think of that symbolizes love + companionship. You don’t need a lot. Maximum 2 petals for each flower of your choosing.

- Hot water (like just barely hot enough for tea. As long as there’s steam, you’re golden)

- water soluble paper (get rice/wafer paper OR look for the brand print-stitch-dissolve in a local craft store. I’ve found it in Michael’s and staples for around $10) IF you can’t fine the paper, just write on your flower petals, provided they are large enough.

- pen(s)/ pencil(s) in any color(s) of your choosing

- mug or bowl

- an open window/ outdoor space

What to do:

- Start boiling your water. Feel free to put it on low heat, this may take some time.

- Take your pen and paper, list the qualities you seek in a love (be they physical or personality related). If you do wish to use a visual element you can print out images/ draw the qualities you seek. There is no need whatsoever to glue items together

- As you write each quality, rip it up from the page so it’s on it’s own strip, place it in your mug/bowl

- when you are finished writing, take your dried petals and crumble them/ tear them up, toss them into the mug/bowl as well

-take the mug/bowl into your hands and speak/whisper this chant

“Lover hear me. Lover know my name. Lover come find me. Lover follow my heart’s flame.“

- put the bowl down, by now your water should be hot. Slowly pour in the hot water, repeating the chant if you wish. Let the steam send your wishes out into the world. Feel free to chant until you no longer see steam/ until the water cools.

- When the bowl/contents have cooled, pour out the mug/bowl. Be sure to wash it when you are done if it’s one you consume from.

Additional Notes: If you’d like, keep a copy of your list should you choose to keep an eye out for your person. Or if you’d like to perform the spell again. Feel free to copy any imagery as well and hold onto it if you wish.

* To press + dry flowers you can either iron the flowers between sheets of parchment paper OR press them under some heavy books (this can take several days. But since it’s petals you’ll probably need a week max.). If you use the iron method, make sure the iron is on the lowest possible setting and there is no water in it. Don’t iron across the paper like you would clothes, just dab for 10-15 seconds in each spot. Let it cool . Maybe go over with the iron 1 more time, you don’t want to scorch/ burn the petals.

PLATONIC PARTNER ALTERATIONS: change the the word “lover“ to “partner“ in the chant. Look for flowers that have friendship/ familial/ unconditional love related meanings such as yellow rose, Jasmine, pear blossom, primrose, yellow chrysanthemum, forget-me-not, blue violets, ect. Obviously make more changes as you see fit <3

herbykitty-deactivated20230514

POLYAMOROUS PARTNER(S) ALTERATIONS:

Vessels- Use two or more vessels (one for each true love you want to attract) for the flower petals instead of one. If you’re looking for a polycule, place your vessels very close together (like, touching), and if you’re looking to be the point in a V, place them far away from each other. Personality traits/qualities- Mix them up! It’s a bad idea to put exactly the same set of qualities into each vessel. If you’re looking to attract twins? Maybe… although I’d question your motive on that. :P Pouring water into the vessels- If you’d like to, say, meet True Love A before True Love B, pour water into True Love A’s vessel first, wait a few seconds, and THEN into the vessel of True Love B. The intent here is what matters, because if you’d like to meet them at the same time you’d still be pouring water into one vessel before the other(s). Just spend a longer moment between vessels if you want to stagger the meetings. How to chant: Hold the vessels in your hands if you can, but be sure to keep space between them if you don’t want them to have relationships with each other, and keep them touching if you do want them to have relationships with each other. If you can’t hold them in your hands (too many, too big, etc) then leave them on the counter but lean in close to them. If they’re too far away from each other to effectively whisper it to all of them at the same time, just f*cking shout that sh*t. Or say it in a normal volume. Y’know, whatever works. Hope none of them mind loud voices. ^-^

What to chant: Use plural ‘lovers’ rather than ‘lover,’ like so: “Lovers hear me. Lovers know my name. Lovers come find me. Lovers, follow my heart’s flame.” Pouring out the mixture when finished- If you want your true loves to also be each others’ true loves, pour the mixtures out on the same spot on the ground OR if you’re just pouring it down the sink (idk why you would be pouring flower petals down a drain but *shrug emoji*) pour them all into ONE CONTAINER before pouring the whole thing out. If you don’t want your true loves to have relationships with each other, pour them out as far away from each other as you can. ((Also, as an herby person, I decided to use herbs that symbolized the qualities I wanted to attract rather than writing out the traits on pieces of paper. For example, I would use a clipping of a succulent to symbolize a protective and assertive spirit, lavender to symbolize a calm and sweet spirit, rosemary to symbolize a jack-of-all-trades experience level, etc. BUT that is NOT part of the poly adjustment and isn’t necessary at all for this spell. You do what you’re guided to do!)) Thanks for reading! And thank you to @theillustrativewitch for giving me permission to publish this adjustment <3

In Romania, the homeland of Dracula and superstition, witches were pretty much spared from the medieval witch-hunts that plagued most of Europe and killed 10...

This is so cool!

thehagandthestag

Honestly please watch this. It’s so nice to see witchcraft from a perspective that isn’t white american/northern European. Its great to see the traditions of witchcraft that come from something other than wiccan tradition.

It also proves that someone can be christian/catholic and a witch, something so many witches (and christians) are quick to dismiss.

In my opinion, it also kind of shows why traditions of witchcraft in other regions of Europe and the British isles disappeared. This is something that I’ve read before, and I feel this somewhat supports the theories. With the modernization of Europe came modern medicine and psychological/psychiatry practices. As we saw in this film with the woman having nighares, witchcraft and modern medicine are usually competing industries. Because medicine is backed by tangible scientific evidence, it became easy to discredit the work of witches/other spirit and magic workers. And not only was it their work that was discredited, but they were even personally attacked by being called liars who intentionally try to cheat people out of their money.

In the region where this was filmed, however, it seems people rely on both medicine and witchcraft. I loved seeing that both of these practices could coexist because in my mind that is the ideal world. Medicine is there to heal your physical body, while witchcraft is there to aid your spirit. Sometimes you need both because phsycial ailments can often be linked to a spiritual issue. I believe that it is a major flaw that the modern west has completely forgotten about, and in some cases abandoned, the human spirit.
