B is for Berkana

Leave a reply

Because I spent I good deal of time talking about two other runes that relate to trees, it only feels appropriate that the only B rune should be talked about.

Berkana

Berkana is often translated as birch, a tree that most people are probably passingly familiar with. It has white bark, which often is seen peeling off during certain parts of the year, which seems similar to some kinds of paper, and in fact people did use to write on birch bark for somethings and probably still do, I think it is the white bark of most birch trees that probably stands out the most in my mind, as that much stark lack of color is very distinct, especially when it is off set with many green leaves.
birch-tree1
The esoteric symbolism of birch and berkana is what is usually focused on. The meanings that I have always ascribed to it is growth, healing, nurturing, becoming, life changes, and liberation. My own meditations and journeys with this rune have pointed to the powerful feminine influence. My own experience of the spirit of Berkana is as the Birch mother, female spirit with pale skin and green hair, who dwells in a endless forest of birch, with light shimmering through the leaves of the forest.

In part of the tree pattern that seems apparent in the runes, Berkana is the world tree as the generative, creative aspect. In the history of the world, the birch was the first tree to emerge in open areas, quickly turning an area that was an open meadow into a forest, and as the glaciers retreated further north, birch trees would continue to follow, while other trees may then fill in the areas that had once been filled with birch. In the Anglo-Saxon rune poem, it is even described as just growing from suckers that the parent tree spread from it. Although now days research has shown that is not actually a birch tree or a member of the betula family, the concept of prodigous generative power carries forward in the rune.

A is for Aegishjalmur

I’m sure most people who are interested in this sorts of things will be somewhat passingly familiar with the aegishjalmur, and it’s also most common appearance.  However, there are quite a few variations on that form, and they were used for a good number of things from looking at various spells and entries in Icelandic magic of the middle ages.

This particular version, shown above, is one of my favorites.  The name  of these is aegishjalm arnirniu (I’m sorry, I don’t quite know how to put accent marks in there, so I apologize for their absence) which is translated as the Nine Helms of Aegir.  The text associated with them says “These are the nine helms of Aegir that everyone who deals with knowledge cannot do without. Each of them should be used.”

 

Following these directions, I put them all down on a piece of paper, in red ink, and proceeded to use that as petition paper that would I burn candles on (thus the waxy circle on the paper, yes this is a photo graph of the actual talisman).   As there is no further directions given, I just laid them all out as I felt was aesthetically pleasing, and using oils and incense with them as it relates to wisdom, knowledge, and mind empowerment.

 

Here is a spell.

 

What you’ll need

-a purple candle

-a wisdom oil (King Solomon’s Wisdom, or just Wisdom etc…)

-incense (wisdom incense if you can, but just frankincense or copal will do in a pinch.  You can could also burn sage leaves)

-a candle holder

-piece of paper

A piece of solomon seal root

-red pen

 

Take the piece of paper (something about 2×4 inches will be fine) and using the red paper, write the 9 helms of aegir on the paper. Put it however you want, but there should probably be a helm in each corner and a helm on each side with one helm in the middle.

 

Using the Wisdom oil and your finger, dab a small amount of oil on to each helm.

 

Take the solomon seal root, and fix it with the Wisdom oil.
Take the purple candle, and anoint it with Wisdom oil.  Do this however you prefer anoint candles. Set the candle in the holder, and place the holder on top of the piece of paper. ( I find a good brass holder is good for this purpose.) If you can, place the Solomon seal root under the candle holder, on top of the paper, or place it next to the base of the holder.

 

Light some charcoal, and put it into your censer, brazier or whatever you burn charcoal in.  Put a good pinch of incense on the charcoal and let it smoke.  Light the candle wick and let it burn.

 

As the candle burns, you should pray.  You might recite mantras for wisdom, recitations from Psalms or Proverbs.  You can also pray silently, and allow the Wisdom of God or the Gods, or the ancestors to come to you and fill you.  You could also meditate.

 

You can do this spell in one day, by letting the candle burn down. You could also repeat it for 7 days, burning the candle in 15 minute increments, snuffing it each day with your fingers or a candle snuffer, until the 7th day, where you should let it finish burning.

 

Take the solomon seal root, and put it into a flannel bag of either white, purple or red, along with the paper with the nine helms on it.  Carry it with you, or place it under your pillow as you sleep, keep it on a secure place on your altar or wherever you keep your altar.  Whenever you are doing your daily practice of prayer, you should take it, and wear the bag, or sit with it while you do your daily prayers or meditation.

A is for Runes

Leave a reply

A starts off quite a few runes, ones that I particularly enjoy. So lets begin

Aethel
Aethel – while different rune sets may spell this rune differently, I prefer this spell. It reminds of certain pagan scandinavian government practices called the Athling, the meeting of all people in Iceland to discuss law, property and punishment for people. It was in fact at an Athling that the icelandic people chose to become Christians, back in the day, and afterwards, abolished the Athling. Go figure.

But anyway, Aethel. Aethel, to my understanding of runelore, is the rune of home, homeland, and family, expressed in the form of the family property passed down from generation to generation, and so it also connects in deeply to the ancestors. Your ancestors, usually and specifically the ancestors of blood. Of course, living in the 21st century, sometimes knowing your ancestry and ancestors can be difficult, as families are now widely scattered over great areas, and you don’t always live within a few miles of your cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and it seems far more people are having children later in life, rather then earlier (although it still happens) children may not be old enough to remember or meet grandparents, or even great grandparents. With that in mind, it can also signify what I like to think of all your ancestors, whether it’s from a spiritual tradition, or your adoptive family, or a connection based on skills, background, culture or subculture, many many things that make up the web of life, that unite us in a chain or connection that goes back to the very beginnings of the cosmos. Some might even call that link the river of blood, symbol of the blood of humanity, but also the blood of living things that evolved to become us, and that river even flows on to what the world and it’s inhabitants might become. Ancestors.

Ac
Ac – An Anglo-Saxon rune, what I see as the beginning of the 4th aettir, Ac means Oak, and of course, ir refers to the Oak tree, that mighty and revered tree that many people admire, adore, and in some cases venerate. This rune belongs to a body of runes that are different trees, which to me suggests some kind of importance to trees and people’s relationship with them, as well as perhaps some kind of tree cult.
Part of my understanding of Ac, from the it’s meaning of Oak, is the idea of endurance. Some of the oldest and mighties of trees are often oak trees, that have stood of centuries, if not longer. Even in some areas they are called Grandfather Oak. It’s also surprising how different oak trees can be from environment to environment. While most oak trees are deciduous, in California (where I live) there is the California liveoak, an oak tree that never loses it’s leaves, much like evergreen trees, but yet, it’s an oak. It does that because of the mediterranean climate. But like many other oaks, liveoaks live for very long time, get quite large, and seem to be able to take a licking and keep on growing. Thus, endurance. The ability to sit tight, and hold on, and weather time, and drought, and storms, and to keep growing, not to wither, or falter or fade.

Aesc
Aesc – in the 4th aettir, this rune follows right after Ac, and is also a tree rune. In this case, it’s the tree Ash. The only ash tree I’m familiar with is the shamel ash, but there are quite a few varieties, and they are all wonderful trees. They can grow quite tall, and it seems, be very leaf and make great shade trees. Interestingly enough, the rune poem associated with Aesc, seems to comment on how high the grow, and that is the key thing I notice when working with Aesc, namely that it reaches up to heaven. In some of the lore of World trees, Ash is often mentioned, along side the Yew, and of course Oak. My as all those trees make appearances in the runes, I see them as showing different aspects of the world tree, that cosmic center and pillar which supports all things. The Ash is the heavenly side, the side reaching up to sky, connecting with the upper world, and the powers that dwell there. With Aesc, we can scale up to meet them, or they might be reaching down to knock us on the head and get our attention. Of course, when that connection is broken, all hell can break loose, as we run around, not thinking things through, not acting from a place of Wisdom, or Compassion, and we might pretty soon make a big mess of things.

Fascination and the Aegishjalmur

Leave a reply

 

The power of fascination or enchantment is one of the more commonly given powers associated with practitioners of magic.  Yet, it seems to be the least mentioned ability in many books dealing with magic.  The only sources that I have yet to find that deal with it are Agrippa (in his classic 3 books) Paul Huson in Mastering Witchcraft, and Jason Miller in the Sorcerer’s Secrets.  It is such a useful technique; it is surprising that so many people seem to ignore it.

 

For myself, I have found that the aegishjalmur, or the helm of awe (or terror), is a most useful symbol in working this kind of magic, both in a general way and in working with the specific application when interacting with a specific person.  I also combine the aegishjalmur with the ideas and techniques presented by the three authors above, so it makes it a pretty effective tool in my bag of tricks.

 

When you are first starting out, I highly recommend actual putting the aegishjalmur on your forehead.  A method described in the galdrabok indicates doing so with your own spit, so work up a good mouthful of saliva (you’ll need it) and using your left index finger, put the aegishjalmur on your forehead. It’s not going to be perfect, so don’t try to make it that way. When you are finished, press your index finger into the center of the symbol and say:

 

“The helm of awe is upon my brow. Let all strife be stemmed, let all wrath be run away, Let all people look upon me with favor, as the Lady looks upon the Lord with favor and may the world and land be gracious as friends.”

 

Channel some ond into the symbol and then continue on about your day.  You could also use an appropriate condition oil to put the symbol on your forehead, but I find that makes me break out, and having facial blemishes doesn’t really help one in social interaction.

 

This is the basic set-up for working with the aegishjalmur and using it for persuasion and influence. When it comes time to work on someone specifically, well, you should already have done this.  When you find yourself entering into a situation where you want the influence of the helm, start channeling ond into the figure on your forehead.  Feel it light up with energy, and start glowing, and that glow starts to wrap itself around you. As you continue to power it, you should also start to feel it acting upon the third eye and perhaps feel ond flow into the subtle channels of the eyes from there.  I find that with fascination, eye contact is important.  The ond that will radiate from the eyes will carry emotions and desires with it, and for it to “hit” it needs to meet the eyes of the desired target.  So, make eye contact.  Often times the eye contact will instantly get the attention of the target once it is made, because in this day and age it seems eye contact is something that many people avoid.  Depending upon how you want to influence the target, try and keep your face relaxed but  following the general intention, i.e., try a subtle smile (practice it) if you are trying to entice the person, and do a subtle frown or tighten your jaw a little if you’re trying to intimidate the target.

Once you have the target’s gaze (even if for a second) then continue to move forward.  Play a game of cat and mouse, where you are present, but just out of reach.  Talk to them briefly, but then indicate you need to go elsewhere (to friends, refresh your drink) to give them space, but then return after a few minutes.  If you find the opportunity presents itself, give them an acceptable and friendly touch.  The touch should also be charged with ond and your intention, whether it is a handshake or an “accidental” tap with the elbow against their elbow or arm.  Of course, if all is going well, they should be paying rapt attention to you, and find ignoring your difficult.  If your goal is to get into close contact/quarters with the target, once that occurs, start delivering ond with your breath, your gaze and your touch, all channeled through the helm of awe.

Runes of Love

Love spells! Everyone wants love spells. When it comes to doing magic, often time when clients come many a reader, sorcerer or spiritual worker, they are looking for love, either to get new love, re-gain love that has been lost, or move a current love into a new situation, such as marriage. Of course, part of the field of Love spells, also includes spells that promote harmony among people, from married couples to families and communities.
It often seems to me that Love magic is the ignored part of working with runes. Maybe a footnote here, or a value given there, but in many books dealing with runes and rune magic, Love is often overlooked, although that maybe the prior trend of the “unpopularity” of love magic with the Neo-pagan movement. However, it’s pretty clear from some surviving written lore, that spells that promote love and harmony were definitely part of the Northern Tradition. I would like to turn to the Havamal in this case, and the runes described by the speaker.

The first stanza that identifies a spell dealing with promoting love (or in this case harmony) is the stanza of the eigth rune:

An eighth I know: which all can sing
for their weal if they learn it well;
where hate shall wax ‘mid the warrior sons,
I can calm it soon with that song

Where the hate and conflict among kin can be soothed through singers magic skill. The second stanza identifying love magic is the sixteenth rune:

A sixteenth I know: when all sweetness and love
I would win from some artful wench,
her heart I turn, and the whole mind change
of that fair-armed lady I love.
And the seventeenth:
A seventeenth I know: so that e’en the shy maiden
is slow to shun my love.
Being the clearest examples of what is recognized as love magic. Of course the singer indicates his mastery in the this art, as he is able to win the love of not only other skillful women, but even young shy women who are often harder to obtain.
To this end, I looked to the runes, seeking and identifying which runes resonate with the powers of love, harmony, and relationships. With my research I identified nine runes, which can be worked, separately or together, in master the arts of love magic.

In the ordering of the futhorc aettirs, the first rune identified is Kenaz. Kenaz, the torch, is the fires of passion. They ignite the feeling inside, a flame that reveals the desires, but also burns. The burning passion leaves little peace, until they have been satiated.
The next rune is Gebo. In Gebo we see the exchange of relationships, partnerships, the agreements, the contracts, the idea of dowry, union of people and the rules that govern that union. Gebo is the most unromantic side of love magic, the side that comes after “and they all lived happily ever after” which people often want to forget. It is having the skills in this side that make relationships succeed or fail, and being able to manage the give and take successfully will often help in being successful in whatever partnership is entered into.
The third rune of love is Wunjo. Joy is it’s name, and joy can be a wonderful, if temporal thing. This is one of the first runes I identify with harmony among people, although in this case it is usually familial harmony. The conflicts between spouses, between parents and children, between siblings, can all create a very unharmonious and dissonant environment. Wunjo is the joy and peace of happy family, and a happy familial home. It’s dark side can be the grasping for this temporal thing. When everything is sacrified, just so that one can maintain the illusion that life is free from strife, the grasping for joy can become a toxic quest, and the peace is shallow, and soon shattered.
Interestingly enough, a whole aettir is skipped here. I studied this for a while, but part of my understanding of the second aettir, the aettir of Hagal, is that it is the runes of warrior, and conflict. While there are runes here that might be useful in influence and command (which has sometimes role in the world of love spells) they are not really concerned with love per se, but with having influence over other people, to any end.
The fourth rune is Berkana. In Berkana is the love of a mother for it’s child in sense. It is nurturing, supportive, and steady. It is also powerfully feminine, which can be somewhat hard to describe exactly how. It is the rune of Women, and express the powers of women, not just girly, but also Amazonian. The mysteries of Women who Love Women are found in this rune, which has it’s own draw, but it can also be used by women to draw whatever kind of love they desire, especially when combined with other runes, or to heal a womans sexual nature, if it has been damaged or cursed.
The fifth rune is Mannaz. In Maanaz, there is the coming together of equals, or rather the marriage of equals. While the rules of marriage belong to Gebo, means of relating to each other are found in Mannaz. This marriage of equals also governs friendship, the brother and sister-hood of humanity. This rune promotes the harmony of whole communities, but also individual people. This is love without lust, just a simple affection, which flows out from within. The idea that comes to me is that deep within each person, there is Love, and when this love is allowed to expressed freely, without expectation of return, or demands, is when people can get along innocently.

The sixth rune is Inguz. As Berkana is to feminity, Inguz is to masculinity. It is a great power, that lies dormant, until it is triggered and released, bring strength and setting change in motion. It can be aggressive and rough when needed, but mostly it is strong and solid. It is the rune of Men and in many ways directly relates to the phallus. It is not only the usual masculine stereotype, but also the gentle man, who can be strong, but sensitive. It also contains the mysteries of Men who Love Men, but it can be used by all men to attract Love, and also sex. It can also helping curing the damaged sexual nature of men, whatever their orientation.
The seventh rune is Ac, the mighty Oak tree. In the permanence and endurance of Ac is fidelity, the ability to stay the course and endure the trials of Love. While many love spells used to promote fidelity were the domain of women who livelihood often depended upon the fidelity of their husbands, who if they could get to stay at home night, at least to make sure they come home when they are done. Fidelity is also about staying together, “for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health.” Sometimes the stress of living can sow the seeds of discontent between partnered couples, and it may take the patience of the partners to rise above their own trials, and embrace their partner(s). In exchange, it also buries jealousy, as I was taught growing up that “jealousy is the grave of affection” and being able to stand fast by your partner, when perhaps they are succeeding, and your own efforts are impeded or faltering can be a difficult thing.
The eighth rune is Ior. Ior is the rune of boundaries and finding happiness within those boundaries. Sometimes, that happiness is found by transgressing what is perceived as binding us, but sometimes it is also recognizing that boundary helps us to nurture ourselves and find our own happiness, wherever it maybe. Happiness is an amorphous thing, and constantly changes. What feeds your happiness today, is not what fed your happiness yesterday, and may not sustain your happiness tomorrow. Being able to change, adapt, and move between environments, elements, or even worlds is a survival skill, that opens up opportunities to find new resources that can sustain you.

The ninth rune is Khalk. Khalk is the cup of desires, the loving cup which contains all that one can want. Contained within the wondrous draught is the fulfillment of our hearts content, yet the difficult part is getting the drink. It can show you what it is you really seek, from this person, from this relationship, from this moment, but it can also make you that which is sought. Glamor was the popular word used for such thing, the magical gilding which brings out the best in each person, showing them as the desired prize, yet keeping it just unattainable enough that they want it all the more. Khalk proves the desire is not about being the best looking, but having the confidence to show your worth.

Having worked with these runes in love magic over the past couple of weeks, I can tell you, yeah it works, quite well. My first experiment was working with each rune, to see how they would manifest. Over the course of nine days, combining the runes with other love-drawing methods (red candles, condition oils, and galdr) those nine days were some of the more interesting escapades in love that I have had.

The image with this post is a Love rune talism that I created when working with this, a simple disc with the runes inscribe in a circle around. The image in the middle is an aegishjalmur described in the Icelandic grimoire, that will get you the love of the person you desire.

Aegishjalmur

aegishjalmur

The Aegishjalmur or Helm of Awe is probably one of my favorite symbols from the Northern Tradition. It is one of the magical signs that have many forms and seems to appear often, especially in the Icelandic galdrbok as a means to gain many things, from stilling anger, to winning love, or just having the favor of men or removing anger. Some variants are very simple images, others are as complex as solomonic and goetic talismans in their imagery. I personally have a preference for the simpler ones, mainly because they are much easier to inscribe on a multitude of surfaces.

The helm of awe is even mentioned in the sagas, probably the most famous saga, The Volsungasaga. The dwarf turned dragon, Fafnir, bears a helm of awe, which is one of the means that he keeps his suspected foes away from the treasure that he has accumulated.

Later, in the galdrbok tradition, it is suggested that the aegishjalmur symbol be made into lead and pressed between the brows, or using spit, drawn on the forehead. One version has an incantation that reads

“It is the helm of awe that I bear between my eyes-wrath runs away, strife is stemmed. May every mother be delighted with me as Maria was delighted with her blessed son when she found him on the rock of victory, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit” followed by “ Olvir, Odhinn, Evil One/ All will you bewitch! / May God himself, with skill/ Send love between us two!”

This was used to still wrath, but also could be used to bring love.

A variant aegishjlamur was named Solomon’s Insigli aka Solomon’s sign and was used for protection.

The main purpose of the Helm of Awe in my works is for success, victory, mastery and favor. You could use spit and other traditional means to place it upon your brow, but you can also use relevant condition oils (such as Crown of Success, Master or High John the Conqueror).

A simple Aegishjalmur spell for success could consist of the following:

A yellow candle (for success, victory and favor)
Crown of Success condition oil
Crown of Success sachet powder
Crown of Success incense
A piece of paper (parchment paper or hand torn brown paper)
A red pen
A pin or needle
Quick lighting charcoal
Incense holder

Light your charcoal.

Take the piece of paper, and using the red pen, draw the aegishjalmur symbol on the piece of paper. Sprinkle a small amount of sachet powder on the paper and symbol, and then retrace the symbol with your left index finger. When you finish, snap the paper to remove the sachet powder.

Take the yellow candle. With the pin or needle, carve the aegishjalmur symbol into the candle. Dress the candle with Crown of Success oil, and place it over the symbol and paper. Put some incense on the charcoal. As it is smoking, using spit or oil, make the draw the aegishjalmur on your forehead, when completed say:

“The Helm of awe is upon my brow. Let all people look upon me and hear my words with favor, as the Lord looked upon his creation with favor, that I may succeed in all my works. So It is!

Light the candle and let the candle burn down to completion. After it has burned out, carry the paper with you in your wallet or purse, as talisman for success and favor. If you desire, you can take the talisman and press the symbol to your forehead and repeat your incantation, while you are out to strengthen the aegishjalmur.

Angels we have heard on high

Leave a reply

archangel-gabriel
During this holiday season, with so much bustle and hurry going on, it’s a good time to look to spiritual aid as a way to help manage the stress, and connect with Higher Power.

One of the obvious signs of benevolent influence is the familiar image of an Angel. As it is Christmas, stores are positively busting with images of Angels, flying, signing, playing instruments, and otherwise announcing the birth of Christ and the glory of God. This is an appropriate role for Angels, as their name, descended from the greek word “angelos” means messenger. So, in their role, the bring messages from God to us.

The most famous angelic messenger is of course Gabriel. Gabriel means “The Strength of God” although in most of his roles in the bible (he only appears twice) is as a messenger, bringing to Zacarias, a man who is married to a cousin of Mary, that his wive shall conceive and bare a child, and that child becomes John the Baptist. Then Gabriel appears before Mary, announcing to her that she shall conceive and bare and child, and that child will be Jesus, who will be called the Son of God.

Because of his role as a messenger, Gabriel is often called upon to aid in communication, or people who use communication as a living. As his message was about pregnancy, he is also called upon to help with pregnant women. Although, during this holiday season, I see communication as taking a key precedence, as the sending of cards and letters, phone calls to family, and just helping the cheer of the season spread with kind words and well wishes is of a great benefit.

Of the ways you can call out to Gabriel for his assistance, is with some token image of Gabriel combined with angelica root, also known as Archangel root. Put the image of Gabriel up and place next to it the Archangel root, and offer a prayer up to Gabriel, asking for his aid and blessings. You might wish to sing the prayer, as Gabriel is fond of music, and is well known for his Horn, by which he calls attention to his announcements.

Why Wait? Act now!

It seems that in my dealings with clients and people interested in using hoodoo and conjure in their lives that many people wait until their life is wrecked before turning to conjure. This is a behavior I don’t quite understand. Often times, when things are in an emergency situation, events are usually too far progressed to be improved quickly and greatly through conjure. The co-worker who hassles them non-stop and they only finally turn to conjure when they have reached the point of breakdown, then they reach out to rootworkers for advice or assistance, and basically are so upset, anxious and angry about the situation that they want the final solution. Another example is when the boyfriend/girlfriend/lover/spouse has walked out because of fighting and arguments, and only then do they seek assistance in love magic. There is also the point when they are down on all fours, yowling like wounded animal, their life and health are in shambles and the prospects for the future look dim do some people only finally turn and ask for curse breaking and protection. It’s a shame, and it’s a problem, and it won’t help them live the life that most people desire, one of peace, prosperity and joy. If you are always putting off things until they become an emergency, then there is never action that helps to establish a comfortable life, especially when so much conjure works better in application before an emergency could occur, and may prevent an emergency from happening.

One of the most simple and uncomplicated ways that your life could be smoothed out is with daily prayer. It doesn’t have to be complicated, but sincerity and heartfelt devotion can go along way, even if your prayer is just a simple recitation of the Lord’s Prayer or the 23rd Psalm every morning.

Another means of ensuring the continued flowing of good fortune is the regular use lucky condition oils, which can cover a multitude of effects. There are a large number of oils that can be used regularly that will help people in their lives, and help them create the life that they desire. A man might prefer High John the Conqueror, while a woman might be benefited from Queen Elizabeth oil. Anyone can use Van Van, whose dual nature of cleaning out bad stuff, but also used to draw in good fortune can be a great boon. Glow of Attraction, Magnet or Lodestone oil also work well in drawing good fortune and what you desire towards you. I am especially fond of using Blessing or Holy Oil as a means to connect with Holy power to overcome obstacles but also to support myself in love, money and life. You can also use the powder form of these oils, or their sprays or bathes on a regular basis. Who knows what a good life you can have by bathing in blessings once a day or every week? You don’t have to save these things for complicated rituals with candles, incense and oils only, but they can all be used on a daily basis to support you in the life you seek.

Another tool is just a simple mojo of a single botanical item, usually a root. The most effective root I find is High John the Conqueror. It works effectively for just about everyone in bringing about the good life and conquering obstacles. There are a few stories I have heard of John, and he didn’t rely only on brute strength, but also on wit, eloquence, and sometimes just sheer courage that helped him overcome many of the unusual and difficult situations he was able to turn to his advantage in his legends.

One final method that you can also use to improve your life is sweetener spell to sweeten yourself. Sometimes your own worst enemy is your own self. We can criticize ourselves, talk ourselves out of taking action, and sometimes just be so cruel within that we don’t even need external enemies. Quite simply, write your name on a piece of paper, fold it, put it into a jar, fill it with your desired sweetener (I like granulated sugar myself), take a quick taste with your finger and seal the jar up. Pray over it, put it under your bed, or in your underwear drawer, and take it out regularly and pray over it some more. Sometimes just learning to be sweet and kind to ourselves can help us in having a smooth, calm and peaceful life.

A multi-use petition packet for reconciliation

Leave a reply

I had a client who had recently broken up with his boyfriend. He was very distraught, as they had been living together for several years now, and he is very much in love with his partner. His partner however, was going through a rough time, after having lost his full time job, and had only found a part time job to help with bills, while also having to pause his pursuit of higher education because of the financial difficulty. To work for the client I created the following packet.

Items you will need
– red pen
– Piece of paper approximately 4×2 inches
– A hair from the client and the partner
– honey
– balm of gilead bud or reconciliation sachet powder
– reconciliation condition oil
– clear tape

Take the piece of paper, and write the name of the partner on the paper seven times. Turn the paper 90 degrees clockwise, and write the name of the client over the partner 7 times. Continuing to turn clockwise, in the four corners of the paper, draw a single red heart, as symbol for the love that is going to be encouraged between the couple. The end result should look something like this:

IMG_0009

Dress the corners and hearts with reconciliation oil. In the center of the petition, put a dab of honey, and use it to stick the hairs of the couple onto the petition. On top of the hairs and honey, place a balm of gilead bud on it. Fold the paper over the bud, hairs and honey. Turn the paper 90 degrees clockwise, and fold it over again, and repeat it until you have a small folded packet, with one side smooth, and the other side where all the folded over ends will be present. On the smooth side, take the pen, and draw a heart on top. Then take the clear tape, and tape the packet up, so it can’t open or unfold. I recommend taping it down in a cross pattern. The end result should look something like this:

IMG_0008

The packet can then be used in a number of ways. It can be taken by the client and carried by them, while they pray for their reunion with their estranged partner.
