When the Bucca said "from the land, to the sea, to the tamar, I am yours" and "I'm in the earth under you" and when they said "What matters is here and now" by the fire and when they kissed my forehead and when they carried me in their arms :)

any good spells to make a wart go away?

I have two different methods that both work very well. My husband gets warts here and there, and I've managed to charm away each one of them—including one he had for years. The first method is a general wart charming, but the second is for more stubborn or troublesome warts. However, each ritual utilizes an orison that I was taught, which I can only share with three people in my life before I lose the ability to use it myself. For that reason, I can't include the verbal charm, though I think proficient mages could still make good use of these rituals overall with their own words of power.

For Warts:

On the evening of the Full Moon, a Sloe thorn is anointed with Spurge milk and used to prick the wart. Thereafter, an onion is cut in half and the thorn placed between the halves, before tying them shut together again using a biodegradable cord (ideally, black in color.) An incantation is said over the onion thrice, before it is buried beneath the western Eaves. If, for some reason, this isn't possible, then the onion should be buried at the westernmost edge of the property. As the flesh of the onion rots over the course of the Moon's waning, so too shall the wart fade. (An individual sloe thorn must be used for each wart being treated.)

For Stubborn Warts:

On the night of a Full Moon, mix together ground Oak Gall, Spurge Milk, and 4-Thieves Vinegar. Dip a piece of raw meat into the mixture and then use it to rub the wart (if there are multiple warts, then small, individual pieces of the same meat should be used for each wart) while the pertinent orison is whispered. Following this procedure, the patient must bury the meat at a Crossroads at midnight. As the meat rots away during the course of the Moon's waning, so too shall the wart(s).

In the case of both these operations, the rotting of the buried offering is paramount. If the rotting is stalled, or the item dries out instead, proper results won't be achieved. For this reason, the patient is permitted to bring and pour water over the burial site once a day, if need be, to aid in the decaying process.

Silver Birch Shillelagh (For Sale)

This is a hand-crafted Silver Birch Shillelagh, which I am currently selling.

The length of wood used was ritually harvested from an old Silver Birch tree, which are lovely and folklorically signifcant trees, known for their associations with Purity, Hope, and Renewal. The knob of the stave—which was a natural formed root bulb—was de-barked and polished, while the rest of the piece was carefully treated and varnished so as to protect the glossy paper-bark of the specimen. The sorcerous wood varnish I used is one I developed myself using a variety of potent arboreal resins, such as Dragon's Blood, Storax, and Black Frankincense—both accentuated the warm color of the polished wood, while preserving the shine of the bark.

This Shillelagh is lightweight but sturdy, measures approximately 40 inches/101.5 centimeters in length, and I am willing to be reasonably flexible with pricing—so reach out if you think you would be interested in purchasing it! As always, I'm glad to work out payment plans when necessary.

Traditional Protection Amulet (Sold)

This is another traditional Celtic protection amulet I am currently selling. It was made using a Hagstone, a vintage Skeleton Key, and a braided cord of twine I dyed myself with Madder Root and Dragon's Blood. A protective prayer was worked into the braid, which was then sealed with a charmed knot, before the whole piece was hallowed in a simple rite.

I'm selling this piece for only $18, so reach out soon if you'd like to purchase it! This piece is sold, but I have other hagstones and vintage keys to choose from as well, so if you'd like to order a custom amulet, let me know while supplies last. I will also make these using a charmed horsehair cord for $30, so feel free to inquire about that, if interested.

River-Blessed Willow Wand (Sold)

This is a Wand I constructed from a bough of Twisted Willow (Salix matsudana) that I am selling for $55 + Shipping. It measures approximately 19.5 inches/49.5 centimeters in length.

It came to me, along with a couple of other pieces, during the course of working a ritual that took place in the shallows of the River that nurtures our land. Almost directly after closing the rite, having just thanked the River Spirit I was working with, they floated directly into my legs and then drifted onto the bank. I felt the hand of the River—She of a Thousand Arms—in the appearance of these willow specimens, and when asking through divination about the matter later, I was given leave to craft them into Wands, that they might find their homes with the proper individuals.

Having dried and cured this length of wood, I next went about debarking and sanding the piece entirely by hand. Once the wood was suitably smoothed, I then gave it a traditional white-washing treatment to accebtuate the already pale, bone-like quality of the wood. Finally, the piece was sealed with my personally devised Wisefool's Glaze (a consecrated wood varnish made using a number of potent arboreal resins, such as Storax, Dragon's Blood, and Black Frankincense,) polished with my personally developed Wisefool's Oil (a Hallowed Oil infused with a variety of extremely powerful ingredients, which also happens to serve as a wonderful wood conditioner,) before it was fumigated with a mixture of Cedar and Waybread Leaf I gathered from the banks of the same River which consigned the wood to me.

Between the beauty and virtues of Willow and the special way in which this piece came to me, I think it will serve as a lovely wand for whomever is meant to end up with it. Anyone who is interested in purchasing this piece can reach out to me here, or can purchase it on my webshop; Wending Wares Occult Parlor. (If you live outside the US and are interested in this piece, I suggest reaching out to me here, as I have trouble getting Shopify to not overcharge for international orders.)

I've had multiple people show interest in the Cantrip Powders I sell—either directly or indirectly—however, only a few people have actually ended up buying any of them. Accordingly, I figured I would make a poll to help me figure out if selling them differently would be worth trying, or if I should just let things be for now.

The working staves of a modern Pellar, including, from left to right:

• A Hazel trident—or Lāth—used for ceremonial empowerment and invocation,

• A vine-twisted Rowan cane—or Wicken Rod—used in feats of Faerie Physic,

• A black Elder and Poppy Root scepter—or Voyaging Hand—used in rites of chthonic journeying,

• & A purple Elder Egg Wand—or Ovum Rod—used in acts of acute healing.

• At the bottom-forefront is a 'Keppen Wand'—or Kippen—fashioned from the same Hazel tree as the Lāth, utilized as a discreet and portable link to the ceremonial staff.

To any it may concern:

The Wisefool's Powder I carry on my shop is officially sold out. I plan to put more of it up for sale in the near enough future, in smaller and cheaper sizes, but this particular variant of Cantrip Powder is out of stock for the time being. There's no telling how much longer the remaining powders will be left for purchase before they, too, need to be re-stocked, so visit my webshop if you are interested in buying a 1 oz bottle of Beckoning Powder, Ousting Powder, Conquering Powder, or Shielding Powder before they're gone!

“For our ancient ancestors, the hearth was at the very centre of the home and all domestic life, both mundane and spiritual, operated around it. The hearth provides warmth, food, and light in the dark. It gave life and thus was revered as the hallowed centre of the home. Sacred stories were told around the hearth-fire, guidance from the spirits was divined within its flames and the hearth was the very altar for all domestic rites of worship and communion with the gods, the land powers, and with the beloved dead.

For the witches, Charmers and Cunning folk, the hearth has retained many of these ancient associations and usages, and provides the 'working surface'. Where space is an issue another working surface, 'altar' or 'shrine' may also be arranged within a suitable spot. Some of the tools of charming may be kept at the hearth, ready for use upon the arrival of a client, the more 'religious' tools of the cult are kept there also for household rites and communion with the Otherworld. Divinations and counsel with spirits may be sought in the dancing flames of the blessed fire or within the swirling smoke issuing from a crucible placed on the hearth. Charms will be constructed at the hearthside, there empowered, and left on the hearth over night to 'cook’. Spells may be conjured and released to their destination via the chimney (the direction of the wind will always be noted here) and the most potent protective charms and physical anchors for household guardian spirits will be placed on the hearth or secreted within the chimney. As with spells, the witch's spirit helpers or familiars or sometimes the spirit of the witches themselves in animal form, will be sent out to do their work via the chimney or otherwise through the window, which is also highly important as it allows one to keep a keen eye on what is going on outside...”

“The Hearthside Rite

For everyday and simple solitary rites and workings, each practitioner will have a quick and non elaborate way of conjuring the Compass and gathering in the powers. This is known as the Hearthside Rite because traditionally the everyday work of the Pellar is carried out at the household hearth, but in reality the rite may be used anywhere, indoors or out. One such rite will follow here. As the ways of the traditional witch are generally kept as simple as possible, this will be the method most often used, with the more elaborate Compass conjurations being kept aside for special occasions, group rites or workings and more complex needs.

The Charmer will first still their mind and focus their will to undergo the Becoming with slow and purposeful breath, to become more aware of things and connected with the hidden.

If it is sensed that the working area needs to be exorcised of impeding influences, the bell may be struck nine times, or, with the presence of a fire once lit, the whisk may be employed in the traditional way. A candle, lantern or fire of focus will be lit with these words quietly muttered in conjuration:

"I light this flame in Bucca's name,

Serpent arise, old ones draw near,

By my will and my ways may you appear."

The Charmer may strike their staff to the ground lightly and rhythmically whilst muttering these words to conjure the circle and the spirits:

"I conjure thee Compass Round,

Be ye cast and be ye bound.

By road above and road below,

By snake and hare and toad and crow.

By red spirits, white spirits, grey spirits and black,

I conjure thee by threefold track.

Be ye cast and be ye bound,

Hallowed be O Compass Round."

In addition, or alternatively, the Pellar may make traditional use of either the drum or the wind-roarer to call the spirits, gather in the virtues, raise the powers, and strengthen the trance.

The Pellar is now ready to undertake the rite or working at hand.”

I’m finally finished refining a recent batch of, what I consider to be, my most potent Hoodworking Oil.

Wisefool’s Oil is a highly specialized blend of Acorn Oil, ritually impregnated with 3 Sacred Resins and 9 additional synergistic constituents of sorcerous and spidereal significance. It was created over the course of a Lunar Month, and then further refined over the course of several more weeks.

I will be putting bottles of it up for sale in the near future, so stay tuned if you’re interested.

Natural Sting Relief Treatment

—

My partner recently convinced me that it would be worth sharing a simple, herbal treatment I use to treat sting wounds—particularly those inflicted by plants such as Stinging Nettle, or animals such as Wasps. It is based largely in traditional herbalism, though the specifics of the treatment arose from a mixture of intuition and experimentation. The remedial treatment is composed of two separate components, which include Sting Neutralization and Sting Soothing.

Part 1: Sting-Neutralizing Wash

Fill a sealable container with approximately 1 oz of Apple Cider Vinegar, and place within it, 2 large cloves of crushed Garlic and an equal amount of crushed Onion. Shake the container vigorously for several minutes and, thereafter, soak something like a cotton ball with the mixture and hold it firmly against the injury. Repeat this step as needed when you feel the compress has begun to dry, until the pain of the sting has been reasonably quelled (for the most part, the radiating, burning sensation of the sting should be reduced to a dull ache.)

Part 2: Sting-Soothing Salve

Following use of the Wash, your sting will likely be left feeling swollen, tight, and a little bit sore; that’s where this second step comes into play. Crush a small handful of Burdock Root into course powder and mix it in with about 1.5 times as much Honey. Follow this up by crushing and grinding a sprig of Lavender and several Peppermint leaves, and add this in with the honey poultice as well. After stirring the mixture into a fairly even paste, apply a reasonably sized glob onto the wound site and dress it with a compress made from cloth, paper, or cotton, held in place with tape. Leave this on for at least twenty minutes, and then inspect the sting. By this point, the wound should feel considerably less swollen, with the remaining pain being superficial and limited to the exact site of injection.

DISCLAIMER: If you have an allergy to the perpetrator of your sting, I strongly encourage you to seek whatever immediate medical attention you require in order to counteract the allergic reaction.

I really enjoyed the whole process of being able to help this person, but I wanted to share pictures of this particular piece of the ritual because I’m really pleased with the way the wax-sealing turned out.

I am currently in the midst of one of the most difficult pieces of magic I’ve ever worked. It has also proven to be the most dangerous and overwhelming piece of Pellarcraft I have ever undertaken.

I say this, both to give people a sense of where I have gone recently, but also, to ask for the prayers, well-wishes, and/or any other sort of spiritual/magical aid that my followers and friends can spare for me. I firmly believe in my ability to come through this experience wiser and stronger than before, but all the same, any and all support that can be sent my way would be greatly appreciated.

I will hopefully be back soon.
