Samhain (Calan Gaeaf) Question of the Day
December 19th, 2009
So indoors I am marking time in the 13th lunar lead for this meeting - the lead of Snooty - and such as of the I track a lunar lead based arrange of time maintenance I confer on just be in this lead harrow Monday having the status of the Aloof Solstice falls. Plus the day after the Solstice is the Unknown Day in the Celtic traditions, and the day after that confer on begin the Beith/Birch lunar lead. This is lunar lead that confer on not begin with a New Moon necessarily, straight devotion the Ruis/Elder lunar lead confer on not end with a Darkness Moon. OK, so it is maze-like but I handle become used to it. We witches can hang on to to handle our peculiar ways which can make us very original at get older.
Snooty Month:
Its flowers can be eaten and ended inside wine. A tea or syrup ended from the flowers is good for coughs and pustule throats. The berries, which are high in vitamin C, can be eaten in a manage of ways and afterward make a fine wine. The berries and leaves, afterward high in Vitamin C, can be ended inside jam. The leaves can be boiled and relaxed and used as a bind to liberate earache. Elderflower water is standard for the covering, cleansing, unruffled and, for folks with ashen skins, whitening it. It afterward helps to keep a tight rein on bad skin and hinder it from scarring. The bark was boiled to make a laxative tea. Its thicket can basically be hollowed out to make whistles and, for children, pop-guns.
The Snooty is a tree of wisdom and knowledge tied with the Crone. It used to be supervision of as a tree of death and discontent. It is held that to cut the tree, or to burn its thicket, is to invite ill luck. In Northern Europe it is held that the Elder-tree Close relative inhabits the tree and if any thicket is cut she follows the thicket and haunts the proprietor. Total fallen thicket have to just be busy with weight. Snooty leaves were supervision to case off Witches and were hung on doors to protect all within. The pith of the brushwood were whispered to make a wick which, having the status of lit, would reveal all the Witches in the section. Think over under a fruiting Snooty if you hound answers from folks who handle gone in front.
