Thanks for the great post Eretik, I'm going to visit that site and update my personal notes on Nettles, T.Guy, could I write down your nettle recipe? If I were, and you wanted to name it, what you you call it? Hi Shaman, Well, my nettle recipes are sadly undeveloped, in fact, I've only come up with...

Unfortunately, with the type of meditation you're talking about, this is precisely the skill (focussing, and preventing your mind from wandering) that you're trying to attain. So, yes, I'd say the short answer is to just to do it :). Like with anything, the more you practice, the better you'll get. ...

Yes, there are many rituals or other techniques which can be used to inhibit someone from enacting their will in the world, either specifically or generally. Specifically would be constantly healing someone who wishes to end their life. Generally would be something more esoteric like what witches wo...

Mugwort is *not* poisonous :P. I drink a mugwort-based infusion every night alternating on and off every week (I go a week drinking it, a week off it). Although it can be a tiny bit diuretic, but not much. So the worse you'll do to your enemy is make them have to take a leak. As far as thujone conte...

I'm fond of nettle too, I use it mainly for it's nutritional qualities; it's packed full of nutrients. I make an herbal tea with it using 2 parts nettle, 1 part peppermint (by volume of ground plant matter). It's as much nettle as I can put in without it's relatively chlorophyll-y taste (although no...

Here's another good remedy: Get some fresh ginger rhizome. Cut it into thin slices about 1mm wide; enough to fill two heaping soup spoons (roughly 3 heaping tablespoons). Put a pot on to boil with about 3 tea cups/mugs of water. As soon as the water reaches a boil, put the ginger in, place a top on ...

I'm not a full on believer of Karma, though I've always simply believed in the fact that was goes around comes around, but I only say my Karma is getting me as a bit of a joke I suppose. I hate that everything is coming down on me at once, and in my first year of college of all times! I've also bee...

I salute and respect your insanity.

cheers,

Hi Ashe, I think using magical means to achieve your goals is perfectly fine. I'd suggest by focussing on your true problem. Your problem isn't that your boss isn't giving you a raise, your problem is that you feel you currently don't have enough resources to pursue your interests in magic. I'd actu...

Hi Wolf Heart, I don't know what to say. I've read a lot of your posts and to me it seems that crap just keeps raining down on your head. Just know that you're not alone, many people, myself included, have experienced what at times seems like a never-ending onslaught of disaster. Like the world is w...

Here is me,

I'm just glad it didn't return with 'evil bastard'.

Hi Elem, glad to see you back. I'm sorry to hear that you're having a rough go at things. I know everyone knows this, but I'll say it anyways, perhaps it stands repeating: people bully others because inside they are immensely fearful and extraordinarily insecure. Lashing out at others, and injuring ...
