Right before we recieved Brandon's proposal I was chatting with friends and mentioned that there needed to be a good look at purgaives in folk magic and folk medicine. And low nit but a few days after we receive this wonderful workshop proposal! "Methods of Purifying the Body and Soul in Ozark Folk Healing
Working off of themes presented in the lecture, we will be looking at the three major methods of magical cleansing and purifying in Ozark traditional healing: water, fire, and emetics. Water includes washing the body in herbal mixtures chosen for their quality to remove malign curses. In this section participants will be able to assemble their purifying bath mixtures. Fire and smoke uses traditional Ozark fumigants like red cedar, tobacco, and asafetida. Participants will learn proper methods of Ozark fumigation as well as take home some smoking plants of their own. And with emetics and purgatives we will look at gentle purging plants like sassafras, often mixed with soothing plants like horsemint or catnip. Participants will learn a simple and non-vomit inducing cleansing ritual and be able to take home a sassafras drink mixture of their own. Other methods covered by the workshop include: tying off curses with string, counting down rituals, sweeping off hexes with a broom, and more." https://www.viridisgenii.com/brandon-weston/
