      Also the rooibos tea I think is pronounced like roy-bows if that helps

    in kemeticism, waste is considered isfet (chaotic, not good, the opposite of ma’at) which means that food offerings are meant to be eaten. It’s believed that the gods or spirits the offering is dedicated to consume the spiritual essence of the offering, so once that is done, we eat the physical part of the offering as to not create waste. I’ll leave an offering on my altar for anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, to a few days, depending on what kind of food it is. I often leave individually wrapped chocolates, so those will hang out on my altar for days until I feel like eating a blessed chocolate. If I’m offering a cup of tea, it’ll only be there a few minutes. Just long enough for the spiritual essence to be consumed. I know there are other practices where eating an offering would get considered disrespectful, which is why i think it’s so important to worship a deity within their cultural context.

      Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. I do this the same way for my ancestors. I used to offer food and not eat it. So it became waste. But than i realised my ancestors where really upset about the waste of the food. They always had to work very very hard for food and didn't had so much as i do now.. so the didn't like becoming it waste. I never heard people talk about this.

      I had Loki request we share the candy I place on his alter. I had been placing a few pieces in a small offering dish and then composting them. Sharing feels more connected as well, at least for me.

    I really like your channel. However, as a Norwegian just want to point out that the Norwegian word "trolldom" essentially means witchcraft, so a "trolldom spell" or "witchcraft spell" is kind of an oxymoron. Maybe "å forhekse" is the word you meant to you use, which translates as "to bewitch".

    I’m loving your videos. I only found you 6 hours ago and I’m already at least 15 videos in lol
    The law in Germany around herbal remedies is fascinating.
    In the UK we do it freely and frequently.
    Sore throat? Hunny and Lemon.
    Trapped gas? Peppermint.
    Family being a pain in the arse?
    Stressed to the point of madness? Lavender bath, candles, and wine. And check the lock on the door three times 😂
    Homeopathy isn’t regulated here though.
    Which is a double edged sword.

    Cannibus is so diverse...each strain is a different experience for every individual. Some strains can alleviate migraines and others can cause migraines. It is a lot of research and experimenting in finding the right one for the individual. I have been growing and having my own plants for about 3 years now, (Legally)...For me, sativa is better for my migraines...Indica sometimes makes them worse....With all the hybrids nowadays...it is very interesting plant to work with...😊 tschüss.

    I had alternating cycles of insomnia and cluster migraines for awhile. Once I added daily walks on my lunch break and more activities in Direct Sunlight 🌞 those issues became resolved. I believe it was melatonin related, which is also related to circadian rhythm, rem phases and sleep cycle.

  • @LauraSmith-rs8yq
    @LauraSmith-rs8yq 2 місяці тому

    For your migraines, consider trying to add some baha gold sea salt or celtic sea salt to your daily routine. Add a pinch into about 8 oz of water in the morning, swirl it to dissolve and just down it. I usually put an oz or so of water from my hot pot kettle to dissolve it better and then top off with cooler/cold water. This is a trick I learned from "The Ultimate Human Podcast", a guy named Gary Brecka who is a human biologist and biohacker. He's very enlightening to listen to. Just a thought, worth a try. He says to stay away from Himalayan sea salt because of recent discoveries of it having heavy metals in it. Best wishes.

    You can make oils from weed. In Holland there are experiments with it on doctor prescription (maybe we get weed legal too). With an oil you can control the doses way better than with smoking. Very useful for pain control and maybe also the spiritflight. If you decide to do that, it would be very interesting to hear your experience.

    "Another völva burial is the Oseberg burial from Norway. This contained the bodies of two women. One was a woman of high status, whilst the other was a slave. Several of the objects in the burial are associated with seid and seeresses, for example a wooden staff or wand, and cannabis seeds in a purse." - from the national museum of Denmark website, not sure if you knew about that 🙂

    Re cannabis: you could try starting with cbd, at least for pain management. Less figuring out of strains etc with that. But i would guess the thc is wanted for astral work with it.
    I have heard enough stories about people's experiences with ayahuasca that a part of me wants to try it or other hallucinogen... But i loathe throwing up and so so many of them involve puking your brains out that the other half of me is like "no thanks".
    I am looking around for mugwart to grow as I'm drawn to astral work. I've found one vendor at a market who sells it in tea blends, but I'm very fond of growing my own herbs to have that bond with the plants I'm using in my practice.

    Hi Bente!! This might be a random question but I'm going to visit Bavaria on August. I know you're from north Germany, not south, but i was wondering if you know any witchy/spiritual places i can visit over there. With this I mean places that are tied somewhat to the history of witchcraft or were relevant metaphysical things have happened. Thanks for your time!!
