5/9/2008 - Fairy Loaves

Posted in Talismans
Beautiful fossils turned over on the seacoast or on the grounds of your home are a good omen, called fairy loaves.

If you are lucky enough to find one lift the stone and instantly say thank you. Standing where you are, turn three times on the spot, clockwise.

Take it home and clean it as though it was treasure. Place it on a mantleplace or on top of your stove. While it remains in your home, you should never want for bread. Caress it from time to time, when your luck could do with a boost.

But do not leave it outside, that would abuse fairy hopitality.

5/25/2007 - Knot Meditation

Posted in Talismans

This is a meditation I came up with myself, and somewhat by accident, but I found it to be affective, in helping to clear the mind, gain focus or calm the mind and realive stress.

 

First take a piece of string, thred, cord, ribbon, etc... in whatever color is most appealing to you. I would say somewhere between 4-6 inches would be a good lenghth but utliamtely it can be as long or short as you would like it.

 

Tie as many knots you can along the length of it, from end to end, without overlapping knots, so they should be single knots going down the lenght of your thread, You should try to have them at least somewhat evenly spaced between them, but it does not have to be an exazt science.

 

Once you have all your knots just take one end between your fingers, and with your other hand begin to pull the thread through your fingers pausing for a couple of secounds at each knot just to feel it between your fingers, before you move on untill you reach the other end, and then repeat the process going back down to the other end. And just keep repeating this process of pulling the thread through your fingers from end to end, for as long as you like or feel you need. As you do this focus only on the feeling of the knots against your fingers, and if you want, you can at each knot contemplate upon one of the stressers in your life, and as you move on to the next knot, it can symoblize you moving past the stress and putting it behind you, and so forth.

 

And this is handy to take with you, you can put it in your purse, bag, wallet etc.. and bring it out to use in near any situation or in any envrioment, or you can find a good place to keep it where you will have easy access to it when you need it.

 

You can also try this to help you get past any anxieits or fears you might have. For example if you are afired of flying but have to travel somewhere, you can take your string with you, and just thread it through your fingers during the fight, and just focus on the knots and take your mind off of anything else happening around you.

 

This simply technique can really be extended and put out to many different uses.

3/6/2007 - Posies

Posted in Talismans

Spread happiness among others, and attract it simultaneously for yourself with the following gesture

 

When the first of any particular species of flower appears, either in your yard or in flower shops, make a hand-tied bunch or posy for yourself and four other people, and add a vital sprig of rosemary before securing the whole with silver or burgundy colored ribbon. Add a luggage label or simple tag whishing the recipients a Happy Day, and place the posy somwhere unexpected for them to find. Place your own bunch in a glass vase, and light a silver or bugundy candle beside it. Your gesture, which will have brought joy to the others will back to you fourfold within four days or weeks.

10/16/2006 - Wishing Well

Posted in Talismans
It would be worthwhile to dig a little well for luck if you can; otherwise have a small ornamental well, or find one near where you live to invest in. When constructing a well, you should put a brand new coin in the bottom and tell the spirit of the well that you are putting prosperity into the Earth. If you have a ready-made well, toss in a new coin to consecrate it. Once you have filled it with water, make a powerful wish for the happiness of the earth around you. Plant a few flowers nearby that will flower each season: bulbs for early spring, then something of your own choice for the other months including winter. Pluck the first flower of each season and make a wish on the well with the flower in hand: ask for luck and happiness. The well may change your life for the better, but always give something back to others.

9/27/2006 - Corn Dolly

Posted in Talismans
These are traditional ways of drawing down the power of the Gods for fertility and plenty in the year to follow the corn harvest. Make your doll from anything you have at hand. It is extremely lucky if you make it from the last of anything you have been working with, such as the last trimmings of bread or biscuit, or (by tradition) the last corn harvested in the field. If your doll is made from growing things (corn, rosemary, herbs, grasses, lavender, etc..) make it as beautifully as you can and tie it in places with green or golden-yellow ribbon. Use wire to get the shape right if need be. If your doll is backed, decorate is carefully and finish it with ribbons and pretter fabric. Hang your doll up somewhere it can reamain, and on no account give it away. Wish on it every time you require special luck in business or in finding extra sums. The whole figure brings luck to your work throughout the year.
