The Wiccan Rede

The Wiccan Rede

Bide these wiccan laws ye must
with perfect love and perfect trust
live and let live
fairly take and fairly give
cast the circle thrice about
to keep all evil spirits out
to bind the spell every time
let the spell be spoke in rhyme
soft of eye and light of touch
speak ye little, listen much
Deosil go by waxing moon
sing and dance ye wiccan rune
widdershens go by waning moon
chanting out the baleful tune
when the ladys moon is new
kiss ye hands to her times two
when the moon rides at her peak
then your hearts desire seek
heed the northwinds mighty gale
lock the door and trim the sail
when the wind comes from the south
love will kiss you in the mouth
when the wind blows from the west
departed souls have no rest
when the wind blows from the east
expect the new and set the feast
nine wood neath im cauldron go
burn them fast and burn them slow
elderwood the ladys tree
burn it not or cursed you will be
when the wheel begins to turn 
soon the beltane fires will burn
when the wheel has turned to yule
light the log the horned one rules
teaching flower, bush and tree
by the lady blessed be
where the ripling waters go 
cast the stone and truth you will know
when ye have and hold a need
harken not to others greed
with a fool no season spend
or be counted as his friend
merry ye meet and merry ye part
bright the cheek and warm the heart
mind the threefold law ye should
three time bad and three times good
when misfortune is anow
wear a star upon thy brow
true in love ye must ever be
lest thy love be false to thee
these eight words in rede fulfill
and ye harm none do what you will

Medicinal Pickled Garlic

  I have been making this wonderful Medicinal Pickled Garlic for years Here is the original recipe that I use. I want to share with you. I use this in recipes when I need some healing magick or just on it's own for real strength and healing. It is so good and so good for you. It takes awhile to peel all those garlic but it's well worth it, I separate each garlic into pieces and then I take a large knife and slightly smash each clove. makes it so much easier to peel each clove, I use each and every clove small and large and sperate them into the jar. Any honey will work and I buy Apple cider vinegar by the gallon because we use it for so many things. Medicinal Pickled Garlic  According to Gladstar’s book, “Garlic is the herb of choice in treating colds, flu, sore throats and poor or sluggish digestion… makes a potent internal and external antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agent effective for treating many types of infection.”   That is some powerful stuff!  There is m

With cold and flu season coming up soon once again I am thinking ahead this year so I am making some medicines to have ready to fight back fast. According to Gladstar’s book, “Garlic is the herb of choice in treating colds, flu, sore throats and poor or sluggish digestion… makes a potent internal and external antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agent effective for treating many types of infection.” That is some powerful stuff!  There is much more information in the book, it is a wonderful addition to your homesteading or prepping library. Peeled garlic cloves (enough to fill a jar) Raw apple cider vinegar Raw Local Honey Fill a mason jar with garlic cloves; use any size jar you like.  Fill the jar with apple cider vinegar to cover the garlic completely.  Place the jar in a warm place for 3-4 weeks. Medicinal Pickled Garlic ~ After 3-4 weeks, strain off the liquid(this is when you will add the honey).   Set ½ the liquid aside to use as you wish.  Rosemary Gladst

Gout Weed has a long history of medicinal use besides being cultivated for food. It was the main gout treatment. One theory is the clergy got a lot of gout because they ate better than most but reports about St. Gerard say he lived poorly, giving half of what he ever made to his mother and the other half to those more poor than he. All parts of the plant are diuretic. It has been used to also treat rheumatism, arthritis and bladder disorders. Some credit consumption of the plant, others external use in the area of the gout, such as crushing the root and holding
