Right before we recieved Brandon's proposal I was 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/ @ozarkhealingtraditions #vgs #viridisgenii #verdantgnosis #esotericherbalism #ethnobotanyofmagic #herbalism #ethnobotany #viridisgeniisymposium #vgs2020 #folkmagic #folkmedicine #witchcraft #occultherbalism #cleansing #americanfolkmagic

A new magical plant introduced itself to us today A new magical plant introduced itself to us today on our walk up the creek. Western meadow rue. Upon researching it, it appears to have a history as a love potion of sorts... "Blackfoot Indian girls used to tie the flower or seed bunches in their hair. Girls felt it was a great love medicine, capturing the first male who saw them. There are several other tribes of Amerindians who also felt meadow rue was a love potion. It was given to a quarrelling couple. The Ojibwa and Potowatomi, for example, would secretly placed the seeds in the couple’s food to overcome the quarrelling. The seeds were applied in poultices to stop cramps. The roots of purple meadow rue (T. dasycarpum) has been used as a purgative and diuretic, being listed in the U.S. Dispensatory of 1916. An infusion of the root was used to reduce fevers in many tribes, especially the Ojibwa. The roots contain berberine, and therefore have uses somewhat similar to barberry and goldenseal. The root was chewed and swallowed to reduce phlegm, improve blood circulation, for heart palpitations, to stop diarrhea, vomiting and occasionally as a panacea." -From the wild rose school of natural healing. https://wildrosecollege.com/encyclopaedia_entry/meadow-rue/ #cascadianfolkmagic #esotericherbalism #folkmagic #lovemagic #lovepotion #witchcraft #witch #witches #rootwork #vgs #viridisgenii #viridisgeniisymposium #herbalmagic #occultherbalism #ethnobotanyofmagic
