Well, all this Witch stuff is just herbal medicine.. mostly. The Shaman has his medicine bag and Witches there potions. There are schools offering courses of herbal medicine. It's not hokum. 2 Kings 21:6 Witches were the servants of the Kings of Israel. 1 Samuel 28:13 King Saul consulted a Witch to see the future of his battle. She summoned the ghost of Samuel who foretold of his defeat to the Philistines. The Witch of Endor is described as a kindly woman who cared for Saul and offered him a large meal. I do not think of myself as a Witch. I am just a poor bard. I have been raised by Wiccan practitioners .. My mom had many herbal remedies .. and my sisters liked to practice candle magic . But, I have no formal education in the craft. My favorite snack are Dulse. They're sea vegetables and they have a lot of iodine. That fights cancer and radiation poisoning. =+= Mesmerizing is fun too. You can find this technique in music. Marylin Manson has philosophical lyrics behind his jungle beat. It is mesmerizing. Lady gaga as a wide range to her vocals that instantly demands respect. It is the cry of the Banshee and Harpy. Her lyrics are sexually driven. The message is erotic. I like this too. A woman's siren can calm and incite. Do you remember your mother singing to you? And then there are songs of Billy Holiday. So soulful and entrancing. Music is magic. It is the flute of Pam. ~~~ <^> |
