Wishbone’s Witchy Herbs: Henbit Dead Nettle

Henbit is a member of the mint family, but it lacks the distinct menthol scent of peppermint or spearmint. it does have that characteristic widespread nature. in some areas where it grows wild, you can find it right at your doorstep. it is considered a weed by some but it has plenty of magical properties that may lead you to believe in its usefulness!

Henbit gets its name from the fact chickens ADORE it! it is an annual winter-spring broadleaf commonly found in North America. it is native to the Mediterranean but it can grow in any ideal climate! its also regarded as a harmless invader. while not native to America, it doesn't threaten local ecosystems at all!! its low to the ground and doesn't suffocate fellow plants! what an admirable little plant! it is quite attractive to hummingbirds and bees. it self-pollinates as well! one single plant can produce up to 2,000 seeds!! not to mention, its edible! the leave and flowers make a great addition to salads and baked goods!! it has a flavor similar to spinach and can be eaten raw or cooked! it grows best in wasteland and cleared areas that have been scorched. its been used medicinally as a fever-reducer! photo below pictures the North American locations for henbit deadnettle!

Henbit Deadnettle is often confused for Purple Deadnettle. they look very similar, however the purple deadnettle’s leaves at the top of the stems are purple-tinged and fade to green as they mature. the henbit deadnettle also has pink to purple slender flowers and half-circle leaves compared to the purple deadnettle’s purple flowers and heart-shaped leaves! (see the picture)

now that we know a bit about the plant, lets delve into its magical properties!

spirit world

motivation

ambition

integration

Dowsing Rod:

A dowsing rod is a y shaped branch, or metal tongs [separated] Sometimes made of hazel, rowan or willow wood. Used to detect hidden substances like water, minerals, treasure, archaeological remains or even dead bodies.

They prefer dowser over divination as that is not considered part of the process. Water firms in the Uk even admit to using dowsing rods to detect water substances. But most are unsure whether it's something to take seriously and has some truth to finding the substance of water OR if it's just superstition. [Uk Dowsing/ Source]

_________________________________________________________

Wishbone:

Finding a wishbone and snapping it, the one with the bigger half makes a wish- where does that come from?

___________________________________________________________

Blow out a Dandelion:

Legend has it that, if you can blow all the seeds off a dandelion with a single breath, then the person you love will love you back. If seeds remain, then the object of your affection may have reservations about their feelings toward you. Most blow it out to make wishes.

____________________________________________________________

Blow out the Candles:

One of the most common birthday traditions is making a wish and blowing out candles. This tradition has been around since ancient times. Many of those ancient cultures believed that the smoke from the candles carried a person's wishes and prayers to the gods.

Jack O' Lantern.

Its name comes from the reported phenomenon of strange lights flickering over peat bogs, called will-o'-the-wisps or jack-o'-lanterns. The name is also tied to the Irish legend of Stingy Jack, a drunkard who bargains with Satan and is doomed to roam the Earth with only a hollowed turnip to light his way. [I'll go more into detail later, in another post so bare with this one at the moment]

The Green Devil of the Ozarks: The little green fairy of... moonshine?

It was 2005. I was with my grandfather in an old shop similar to "dick's 5 and 10" outside of Branson, Missouri. This is where The Green Devil caught my eye.

My grandfather frequented little old fashioned stores like this. He loved collecting all kinds of gadgets. Old movie posters, salt water taffy, and soda parlor paraphenalia. It was heaven on earth to him in this little corner of the world that was stuck in an older Ozark time. His house wasn't too dissimilar to a crackerbarrel gift shop. All kinds of wooden toys and dolls. He loved his little knickknacks. But on that day he found it. A copy of an old French absynthe poster with "the little green fairy" smirking at the viewer. He had to have it. It was being sold for $8! frame included! If only the seller knew the true value of it. Or how it's mere existence was breaking so many copyright laws.

Maurin Quina, as it's named, is a French apéritif advertisement painted by Leonetto Cappiello in 1906. The drink was made illegal soon after its creation. But this poster is now being reused today. It was not well known in the US at all back then. Not even in the 2000's. but my grandfather being a moonshiner, absynthe fan, and art history drop out, knew all about it.

My grandfather was not as religious as the rest of my family. But he sure prayed to God when he was trying to avoid the law. He was selling homemade moonshine without any sort of license or proper knowledge of sanitary practices. It was an arte form he learned from his father that I never had the pleasure of learning.

He decided to hang this new poster up in his storm cellar where he kept his aging bottles of various liquors. Over time it developed A life of its own. My grandfather would kiss his hand and place it on the poster of the little green fairy after every jar was sealed or sales were made. I Don't think he saw this as devil worship so much as just a simple good luck ritual. Not too disimilar to his high school basketball team kissing the image of their mascot before a game. He always practiced these superstitions even though he didn't seem to really believe in them.

Fast forward to today. I'm an Ozark trad witch. So of course I now work with this image as if it is the devil himself. He is a devil that rules spring and summer. Drunkenness, poison, lunacy, fairies, and nature. He is associated with law breaking, alcohol, healing, harming, and fertility. With Easter coming up He is on my mind heavily. A time I feed him red dyed eggs symbolizing the blood of christ and the blood of good Christians. I feed him this with intentions of causing those which share the eucharist to lust. Poisoning the church so to speak. I attend mass in spirit form and dip my blessed turkey wish bone down in the communion wine. The turkey is symbolic of love in the Ozarks. And the wishbone is horned like the stang, and my devil. Midnight mass on Easter is filled with drunkenness and sex. Those consuming this spiritually poisoned wine are consumed with lust for others in the church. An orgy ensues in the great house of God. Only for all members to awaken Easter morning with no memory of the incestuous rituals performed with their brothers and sisters in christ. To do such things in the house of God and not confess them (due to not remembering) is damanble. This is my goal as a witch. To bring the witches Sabbath to the church and to pervert the souls of good men.

By turkey wand and lustful stang I complete my work in the devils name.

A call to the Green Devil:

"Envy is his name. Drunkeness and poisoning are his arte. He is Lord of the little people and plants alike; come little green fairy and bring your lust and your lunacy. Green devil rise from the roots below like a serpent. Green devil come down from the tree tops like a booger in the night who takes its flight. Join me in this witching hour oh beast of the green and hear my call to the wild. By my witches flame may it be so."

Look out for a post on the black and red devils later this year. Our horned one changes with the seasons

🌟 Understanding Negative Energy: Between Belief and Reality 🌟

In the world of spirituality and witchcraft, the concept of "negative energy" has been deeply ingrained for centuries. But have you ever questioned whether there's concrete evidence that malevolent spirits can truly control our lives? Let's explore this bridge between belief and reality:

1. Ancient Beliefs: Negative energy, curses, and malevolent spirits have been woven into folklore for generations. These beliefs often provided explanations for life's challenges and hardships. While they offered comfort to some, they remained shrouded in mystery and fear.

2. The Quest for Proof: Despite centuries of belief, the search for tangible evidence of negative spirits' influence has yielded limited results. In the realm of science and objective observation, such claims have often fallen short.

3. Modern Psychology: Enter the realm of modern psychology, which shines a light on the complexities of human emotions and experiences. What was once attributed to "negative energy" can frequently be illuminated by psychological phenomena:

Breaking a Mirror: Superstition suggests that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck. Psychologically, this belief may stem from the discomfort of seeing one's reflection shattered, triggering feelings of unease or anxiety.

Walking Under a Ladder: Avoiding walking under ladders is believed to prevent bad luck. Psychologically, this superstition may be rooted in a fear of objects falling from above, which is a legitimate safety concern.

Black Cats: Crossing paths with a black cat is seen as a bad omen. Psychologically, this superstition could be linked to the historical association of black cats with witches and witchcraft. Fear of the unknown or unfamiliar may also play a role.

Friday the 13th: This date is often considered unlucky. Psychologically, triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13) and paraskevidekatriaphobia (fear of Friday the 13th) could be attributed to cultural superstitions and anxiety about perceived negative events.

Breaking a Chain Letter: Superstition dictates that failing to share a chain letter will result in bad luck. Psychologically, this may arise from social pressure and a desire to avoid guilt or negative consequences within a community.

Walking Over a Crack in the Sidewalk: Stepping on a sidewalk crack is believed to bring bad luck. Psychologically, this superstition may be related to a desire to maintain a sense of order or avoid potential physical hazards.

Opening an Umbrella Indoors: Superstition warns that opening an umbrella indoors invites bad luck. Psychologically, this belief may stem from practical concerns like knocking over objects or damaging the umbrella's structure.

Seeing the Number 666: In some cultures, the number 666 is associated with evil or the devil. Psychologically, this may be a result of the brain's tendency to look for patterns and assign meaning to them, especially when those patterns include repeating numbers.

Breaking a Wishbone: Superstition suggests that two people making a wish while pulling apart a turkey or chicken wishbone can make their wishes come true. Psychologically, this act may be rooted in the desire to share hopes and dreams with others.

Four-Leaf Clovers: Finding a four-leaf clover is considered lucky. Psychologically, this belief may arise from the positive emotions associated with finding something rare and unique in nature.

In each of these cases, it's important to remember that superstitions often have cultural or historical significance, and they can provide comfort or guidance to those who hold them. However, psychological explanations can shed light on the underlying human experiences and emotions that contribute to these beliefs.

4. Empowerment Through Skepticism: In light of the quest for proof and the power of modern psychology, we encourage a healthy dose of skepticism. While ancient beliefs hold cultural significance, there is no concrete evidence beyond feelings to confirm the existence of spirits wielding control over our lives or spaces.

5. Reclaiming Agency: By embracing a balanced perspective, we can reclaim our power and agency. Instead of attributing all adversity to external forces, we can acknowledge our feelings, emotions, and challenges as part of the human experience. This understanding enables us to process and grow from these experiences.

In conclusion, while traditional beliefs in negative energy have their place in history, it's vital to acknowledge the distinction between belief and concrete proof. Let's replace fear with curiosity, superstition with science, and empower ourselves to navigate life's ups and downs with grace and resilience.

Remember, your energy and beliefs belong to you. Your practices and beliefs belong to you. While magic and spirituality offer unique avenues of self-expression and self-care, maintaining a grounded perspective can foster a deeper understanding of our experiences.

Blessed be! 🌙✨🔮

Eye color: plum purple

V/A: Azusa Tadokoro

Rap voice: SeeA (Pink Fantasy)

Stage actor: Jennie Kim (Blackpink)

Appearance

Reiaki is a slim woman with cat-like plum-colored eyes and noticeably sharp canines. She has a straight fringe and shoulder-length platinum-blonde (dyed) hair. A portion of her fringe and half of the underside of her hair had been dyed a sunset-orange color. While the rest of her hair is worn straight, she styles her hair in a half ponytail that’s been lightly curled and has two tufts of hair that frame her face and are also curled just slightly. Due to her choice of attire and tattoos, she tends to come across as intimidating.

As a worker in the beauty community, she wears mostly black. She dons a black distressed t-shirt dress with white and red prints, cinched with a white industrial belt. On top, she wears an oversized denim jacket which loosely slips off her shoulders. She completes her look with a black choker, a silver toggle necklace with a coin charm, a silver link chain necklace with its clasp worn in the front, and black above-knee boots with a silver block heel. She sports multiple piercings: on her left eyebrow, double lobes on both ears, lower helix on her right ear, upper helix on both ears, and a navel piercing.

She has a total of fifteen tattoos: a ghost above her right elbow, an eldritch-looking hand bound by rope on the side of her right elbow, a witch’s hat on her right bicep, dark forest of tall trees circling around her right wrist, a bubbling cauldron paired with a witch’s broom on her left bicep, a snake circling around a sword on her left hand, a scarecrow with a jack-o-lantern for a head on her left forearm, barbed wire formed into a heart on her right shoulder, a second larger ghost down her right hip, a cracked skull with feathered wings on her upper left thigh, a black cat donning a skeleton-like mask on her left ankle, a kneeling skeleton holding a mass of black feathers on her right shoulder blade, two skeleton hands holding onto either side of a wishbone, a jack-o-lantern face on her left middle finger, and a sword on her left middle finger.

When away from cameras and the public, she wears a white cropped, sleeveless henley, paired with a beige oversized cardigan and grey sweatpants that she wears loosely on her hips.

Personality

Despite her tough appearance, Reiaki is portrayed as a kind, charismatic, and cheerful socialite who is persistent and is always determined to help her friends or those she cares about. She understands them well and is willing to accept them for who they are, no matter what their flaws may be.

Reiaki, with her people-pleaser tendencies, is always prepared to go out of her way to help those who need it. She's quite the loudmouth, but if she knows her opinions are unwanted or people won't agree with her, she'll shut up.

Despite her impulsiveness, she has shown that she is capable of remaining calm in stressful environments and utilizing her quick thinking to get out of there.

Abilities

Her rap ability, Horror Story, allows her to induce fear on her opponents. The more frightening her horror stories are, the stronger the impact on her opponents. In rap battles, her verses tell the tale of a short horror story.

Trivia

Reiaki has cross dominance (she writes and applies makeup with her right hand, and does everything else with her left).

She likes cherries, piano, kickboxing, and ghost movies while she dislikes being alone and people who are controlling.

Her favorite food is spicy fried tofu while her least favorite foods are eggplants.

When Miku was an idol, Reiaki was her SFX artist for music videos.

She is fine with keeping secrets, but she’s terrible with surprises because she gets too excited and tends to blurt everything out.
