<v Speaker 2>horp poor hawk.

0:01:58.480 --> 0:01:58.800

<v Speaker 3>I can't.

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 4>I won't be able to advertise because I don't think

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm making fun of them anyway.

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 2>It's a new drink, right. They've approached approached me to

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>go in and do things to advertise, and I like it.

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.639
<v Speaker 2>That's got like a it's the thing that you have,

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 4>No, mate, Well, I'm thinking we should do it because

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 4>then we could because you could put a link and

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 4>every time that someone buys this from us, I'm gonna

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 4>get money.

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm just gonna learn how to say.

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't want you to work, you.

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Know, I don't know.

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.679
<v Speaker 4>They've sent me a whole lot of the ship drinks drinks.

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:03.959
<v Speaker 4>It's meant to bank you feel all up of the

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 4>art bothout the alcohol.

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 3>So it's non alcoholic.

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 2>It's non alcoholic, but it's got horps. I don't know

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 2>how to say it. It's got a couple of things. Anyhow,

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll bring a some in. And I thought what we

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>could do is if we did it.

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 4>On the podcast, and we got it out there and

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 4>got the links, and they would keep going on and

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 4>linking and going and buying their stuff that had come

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.079
<v Speaker 4>back to us, and that would then do the podcast right.

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 3>Okay, just learn how to say it first.

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Hoop hoop, you can say it. I'll just drink it.

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you need it, all right, Melissa, Hello,

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>wonderful witchy ladies. I have a question for you. I

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>absolutely love storms and feel so empowered by them. When

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>the wind blows, I can always tell something is coming

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>or leaving, depending on which direction it blows and what

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>it smells like and how it feels.

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Does this mean I should do more storm magic? Am

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 3>I a storm witch?

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Guess? What do you remember? Chocolate art? The movie chocol

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I was. I don't know where that came from.

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:22.600
<v Speaker 4>Deep down, it down got.

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, primal. Yes, remember that movie? Yes was she would

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>changed with the wind.

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 4>Yes, so she was a chocolate art which and she

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 4>was exactly that storm.

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 3>She's a baby witch.

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Not sure how to do all of this yet, I

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 1>just feel so drawn to storms, and they calmed me down.

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 2>They give me peace.

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 1>When I little, When I was little, I believed I

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 1>could control them and call them in. I heard you

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.720
<v Speaker 1>on your podcasts that you love ghost stories. I grew

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>up in a very haunted property, so I've got lots

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>for you. Melissa would be changing, Okay, all right, we've

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.039
<v Speaker 1>got Alyssa. I've always had a sick spiritual side, but

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 1>never knew how to tap into it. My husband is

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.840
<v Speaker 1>very Christian, while I wasn't raised religious at all due

0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>to my parents having religious trauma. I've been diving into

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>witchy stuff here and there, as in having crystals and

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>making moonwater.

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:05.920
<v Speaker 3>I have a pseudo altar set up as well.

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 1>My husband is very dissatisfied with me for doing this,

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>keeps telling me that I'm sinning and that it will

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.479
<v Speaker 1>be between me and God. Religion has always kind of

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 1>turned me off, and I've never had that connection when

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 1>everyone else seems to have with Christianity. Whenever I tap

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.280
<v Speaker 1>into my spiritual side, I feel at peace. Though, any well,

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>you need to deal with that with your husband because

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 1>that's difficult.

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 5>Hmm.

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Any advice on how to go about this? Some baby wish?

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's difficult.

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 4>Well, the thing is is that when we're in relationships,

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 4>we either grow together or we grow apart. You know,

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.719
<v Speaker 4>at the end of the day, we have different lessons

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.919
<v Speaker 4>that we need to learn. And it's like when we

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 4>stay in relationships where we feel that we can't be ourselves,

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 4>then that's when obviously relationships tend to we need to

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 4>relook at it.

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Is it time to sort of move in our own directions.

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 4>I think, if something's giving you peace and you're loving

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 4>it and you're honoring it, how could that be? And

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 4>I really feel though, unfortunately, there are a lot of

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 4>religions out there that are basically.

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Saying or I do believe, hampering a.

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.280
<v Speaker 4>Lot of people just to be happy, so they feel

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 4>that they have to conform for, you know, to be

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:19.720
<v Speaker 4>a better person on this earth.

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 2>And I think that you know, a lot of people

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 2>here are.

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:31.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what would you call the word, what would.

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Describe for me, you know, like stuck?

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 4>Well put it this way, what like I'm sort of

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 4>this whole thing with Sharon Law coming in and all

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:42.679
<v Speaker 4>this sort of stuff.

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 2>It's it's like it's a cake. It's old. It's repressed

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 2>the bet.

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.920
<v Speaker 3>Thank you Ben repressed, repressed feeling it.

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:54.240
<v Speaker 4>Repressing your happiness is not necessarily something that I believe

0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 4>that the universe or an all loving god or person

0:06:59.040 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 4>would want you to do.

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 2>I think that they would like you to be happy.

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.160
<v Speaker 2>So you are going to love and you're going to grow.

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.039
<v Speaker 1>Well, Alisa, we wish you all the best, and maybe

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 1>it's something that you can try to discuss with your husband.

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 3>It's all about how it makes you feel.

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Then other couple of episodes as well is more a

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Cursed That was great.

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 3>It was fun, wasn't it. No?

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I adore you women, so funny, so informative, and I

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>can't stop listening all the way from the States. We

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 1>love Birmingham, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama like that, and also the

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>moment when we talk to our friend who thought that

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 1>she was cursed as well, that something was following around

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the who is Craig? When you said who is Craig?

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>And then she completely collapsed. Yea, Gina would like you

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 1>to contact her for a reading as well. I know

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 1>she's local as well, so she might have to come

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>into your shop.

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, definitely.

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Now, of course, you know we've talked to your daughters

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>as well on the episodes of the podcast.

0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 3>We've talked about being a mum and a witch.

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Can you just take us through some of the activities

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you and your daughters think and all and things that

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 1>you do as a team, as a family.

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Well as a family. We decided to go away.

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 4>I had Sunday off for the very first time in

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 4>probably a year, and we decided to go up.

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 2>To the mountain.

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 4>So up we went, and I took my two daughters

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 4>and up we went to the mountain. And I'm you know,

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.480
<v Speaker 4>talked about op shopping a lot. I love to op

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 4>shop and then use crystals and the sage and you know,

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 4>give it a new lease of life sort of thing,

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 4>and so they love to op shop with me.

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.319
<v Speaker 2>So we went to this op shop.

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 4>And we walked in and there was some some dolls.

0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:46.679
<v Speaker 2>There, but they were the ludial face. They were a

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 2>porcelain variety, creepy, the creepiest. Yes.

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Now remember residual energy. We've spoken about residual energy.

0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 4>So residual energy would be if you've got a doll

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 4>that you're loving, Yeah, you're cuddling it. So a lot

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.440
<v Speaker 4>of the energy of that goes into these dolls, and

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 4>so it's gone probably through a number of different owners,

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 4>hand me.

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Down to Yes.

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.440
<v Speaker 4>So there was one there that we went into and

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 4>she was freaking out. So this is Charlie's, my oldest one.

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 4>She freaked out because she said the pram moved, and

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 4>so we went, oh, we must buy.

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 3>This one, as a normal family would yes, the rest

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:25.439
<v Speaker 3>of us would run and high.

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes. So we bought that one and that the pram. No,

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 2>we bought the doll, the dolls, and.

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.200
<v Speaker 4>Then we bought the other. There was another doll looking

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:33.679
<v Speaker 4>at us and I went in. I said, oh, there

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 4>was energy there. So we bought that one too, and

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 4>we did a bit of deep dive when we got home.

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 4>And she was French and these dolls are about thirty

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.959
<v Speaker 4>forty years old. They're really old, and one of them

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 4>is custom made. But you know, in true traditional witch style,

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.679
<v Speaker 4>we want to know that they're haunted, right right, So.

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 2>We get looking for it to be yes. So we

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 2>get the pendulum out, we.

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 4>Get the divine rods, and we get the taro out

0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 4>and we're just like then in the end, I went

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 4>and got you know my favorite favorite no no no

0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:07.720
<v Speaker 4>no no no no, I got I got out my

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 4>app where it starts talking and guess what we were saying.

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.439
<v Speaker 2>It's a shame that her hair is a bit filthy.

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 3>You said that.

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we said that.

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 4>And we were saying that because her hair was quite

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 4>long and a maddened, a bit filthy. And so we

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 4>got that out and we've got it here. I've even

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:25.479
<v Speaker 4>got the actual.

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Recording of it.

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:31.520
<v Speaker 4>And the word that came out is filthy followed by hair. Well,

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.839
<v Speaker 4>she freaked out in a good way. We freaked out.

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 2>We were like one.

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.040
<v Speaker 4>So that was really cool. So last night we went

0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 4>and put the dolls. This is a little bit naughty,

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 4>so she doesn't know about this, but we've put the

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 4>dolls on the chair and she was I went in

0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 4>the before I left because I looked really early this

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.560
<v Speaker 4>morning and the dolls she's got the chairs with the

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 4>dolls are right there, and her head's there, so she's

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 4>looking at them to see what they've done. So what

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.719
<v Speaker 4>I've done is I've turned the chair around. So when

0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 4>she wakes up this morning, the.

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 3>Dolls moved careful mother such mothering freaking children out there.

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 2>But no, it's really cool and so this is Yeah,

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 2>they definitely have a residual energy. You could feel that

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:14.840
<v Speaker 2>residual energy when you pick them up.

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>Feeling when you walk into an o shop, like you

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:22.119
<v Speaker 1>can get a feeling of history, not just of like stories.

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:23.320
<v Speaker 3>That's what I think as well.

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Would you, okay, this is an interesting story. Would you

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>if you went to an op shop and you found

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 1>a really lovely mattress?

0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.080
<v Speaker 3>No, you wouldn't do a mattress.

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 4>But in saying that, when I was broken living at

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:40.560
<v Speaker 4>Rose Bay, I I had to move in. I was

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.440
<v Speaker 4>only moving in for a month and I was thinking

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 4>what am I going to do here? I didn't want

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 4>to drag my my my stuff, my furniture because I

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 4>was in between moving into England and I was staying

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:50.679
<v Speaker 4>with my girlfriend and she gave me this bare room.

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:51.559
<v Speaker 2>It didn't have a mattress.

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 4>And at Rose Bay there was a mattress on the

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 4>side of the road that I pulled up and.

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I slept on that night.

0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, for I was lucky because she had a big

0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 4>Saint Bernard that came and pissed on me. Had a

0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 4>we weed problem, so that mattress didn't last.

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:10.720
<v Speaker 2>So I couldn't tell you whether it was hot it

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 2>or not. And it was probably the second time i'd

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:14.960
<v Speaker 2>been pissed on. That's probably was on the side of

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 2>the ride. Oh my god, what I think back of

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 2>all the shit idea? Oh yeah, but I didn't feel

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:27.960
<v Speaker 2>anything with that.

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.559
<v Speaker 4>I just felt like a lot of heat coming over me,

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:35.079
<v Speaker 4>a bit like perimenopause. But it was just to say

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 4>you thought it was a hot flush. No, But to

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.960
<v Speaker 4>be honest, I would never buy a mattress no, because

0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 4>someone could have died on it. Most people probably have

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 4>died on it or it has had, you know, body

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 4>fluids like that.

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:58.679
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, okay, yeah, I'm not sure how we ended up

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 5>talking about a dog on you in the middle of

0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.560
<v Speaker 5>the night on a second ad mattress.

0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>But you also today wanted to talk about the morogan

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>You've mentioned this so many times. Yes, about talking about

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the Morogon, which is from the Irish mythology.

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 4>Yes, okay, So she's simply not a goddess of death.

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 4>She's rather embodies the cycles of her endings and beginnings,

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 4>and in the oldest Irish stories, she appears before battles,

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 4>influencing outcomes, testing heroes, and for telling who will survive.

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 4>She will often appear as a raven or a crow

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 4>flying over battlefields, a beautiful woman washing blooded armor at

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:36.719
<v Speaker 4>a river, a supernatural figure sometimes linked to the later Banchees.

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.959
<v Speaker 4>So remember like that hold when people say Banchees, yep,

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.320
<v Speaker 4>you look like a banshee. Yes, yeah, so that's how yeah,

0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.319
<v Speaker 4>looking like her, the Old Crone, which is the old

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 4>woman the wise. She has a couple of animals that

0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 4>she works with, which is an eel, a wolf, and

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:55.240
<v Speaker 4>a heifer, which is a.

0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Different top of car or cow.

0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 4>So she's really good and represents if you're wanting to

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.040
<v Speaker 4>work with a deity through shadow work. She's a good

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 4>one personal empowerment, if you're trying to protect yourself, or

0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:11.199
<v Speaker 4>if you're wanting.

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.440
<v Speaker 2>To have some extra courage. She's a great.

0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 4>One to work with if you're trying to set boundaries

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.079
<v Speaker 4>for yourself, if you're trying to transform yourself, if you're

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 4>trying to speak your truth, and you need courage with that.

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 4>She's all about learning to stand in your power. She's

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 4>described as a teacher rather than a comforting mother.

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 2>A lot of.

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.440
<v Speaker 4>Devotees will encourage her to come out when you're trying

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 4>to have honesty with people, for you to be courageous

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 4>in your honesty. So most practitioners that associate or work

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:46.840
<v Speaker 4>with her witches. They have ravens and crows, spears and swords,

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.720
<v Speaker 4>the dark moon, and she's really good when you work

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 4>in the month of all the Siwan. A lot of

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 4>people in Siwan use her. Now, I love this. She

0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 4>likes red wine, so you can put that on your altar.

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 2>Hello. Hello. She's also known as the Fire, which is interesting.

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:05.600
<v Speaker 2>The Fire.

0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 4>So her herbs mugwort, yarrow, blackthorn. She loves black feathers,

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 4>so if you're wanting to give her something offerings, black

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 4>feathers is definitely what it is. So if you want

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 4>to set up an altar with her, you start off

0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 4>with a black cloth. She works with red and black candles.

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 4>You can suddenly put a bowl of spring water there

0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 4>an image of a crow or a raven. She likes nails,

0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:38.080
<v Speaker 4>interesting fingernails. Nails, as in hard nails, black obsidian, smoking quartz,

0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 4>and garnet her crystals. So the things that you can

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 4>put on your altar as offerings are red wine, fresh bread, apples,

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:47.240
<v Speaker 4>honey oats.

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 2>And she loves poetry. And if you.

0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.440
<v Speaker 4>Want to put down acts of bravery of what you've done,

0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.840
<v Speaker 4>also she likes to read those. So you can have

0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 4>a simple ritual with her. So you say, great Queen

<v Speaker 4>you'll need a red candle, a small piece of paper,

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 4>and a pen and some black pepper and rosemary. So

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 4>you pop the black pepper and the rosemary in the

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 4>paper and you turn it, you fold it away from you,

0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 4>and you want to write down a fear as well

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 4>on another piece of paper. And what you want to

0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 4>do is you want to say the fear because you

0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 4>are trying to overcome it. You say by flame and

0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:53.360
<v Speaker 4>She's more of a not.

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 2>As a mother like a lot of the other ones are.

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.760
