Prayers to Saint Donatus, patron saint of thunderstorms, were often said, or the Gospel of St. John was read. This

is because St. John’s wort is also found in the kroedwusj.

This custom recalls the…Read More

On various herbalist and Catholic websites, I find hints at a rich history of this tradition. Here’s some information that might help you explore this custom.

🌿 Hælgwyrt-tīd: Reclaiming the Pre-Christian Roots of the Herb Blessing Tradition

In the modern Heathen revival, many of us are rediscovering the sacred rhythms that once shaped life in pre-Christian Europe. One of the more enigmatic survivals is the mid-August herb blessing ritual known today in German-speaking regions as the Kräuterweihe—a trad…Read More

I just wrote a blog on crystal and gems, and how they are NOT out of place in Ingwine Heathenship as apotropaic or talismanic purposes. So let’s go full bore, howabout a little chart of correspondences for the purpose of Leechdom?

Still, over the past year, I’ve learned to combine m…Read More
