9 herbs charm - Mentions Woden

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Herbs_Charm

The charm refers to at least nine plants. Scholars have proposed various translations for the plant names, including the following:

At the end of the charm, prose instructions are given to take the above-mentioned plants, crush them to dust, and to mix them with old soap and apple residue. Further instructions are given to make a paste from water and ashes, boil fennel into the paste, bathe it with beaten egg – both before and after the prepared salve is applied.

Further, the charm directs the reader to sing the charm three times over each of the herbs as well as the apple before they are prepared, into the mouth of the wounded, both of their ears, and over the wound itself prior to the application of the salve.


A snake came crawling, it bit a man.
Then Woden took nine glory-twigs,
Smote the serpent so that it flew into nine parts.
There apple brought this pass against poison,
That she nevermore would enter her house.[1]

Suggestions have been made that this passage describes Woden coming to the assistance of the herbs through his use of nine twigs, each twig inscribed with the runic first-letter initial of a plant.[4]

Well of Urd - Fate - Norns

 Fate= Wyrd/Urd Fate/Destiny is very close to the word WORD. Well of URD might as well be the Word. Each day supposedly the Gods go down and meet in council around the Well of Urd. It is the well next to a root from the Tree of Life Yggdrasil. Even the Gods themselves were subject to fate. Norns, beings who shaped fate, a group, some sources say a Trio of very Wise Women whose magical abilities were unmatched by those of any other being. Lived at the Base of Yggdrasil the great tree in the center of the Cosmos, where they carved the fate of all inhabitants of cosmos into the tree, or in another image, wove them with thread, cutting the last strand at the end of the persons life. Struggling against ones fate is as pointless as rowing a boat against a fierce wind. After Ragnarok it was fated that Nothing would remain but Nothing itself.  Odin fought to defeat the Norns and defeat Fate itself. The paradigmatic model for this attitude was the way the gods were to approach their ow...

Crystals and EMF

https://hibiscusmooncrystalacademy.com/crystals-lower-emf-risks/ In my  Certified Crystal Healer Courses  we discuss specific crystals & protocols for counteracting EMF pollution. Crystals you don’t want to use are any sort of silicate crystals:  quartz, lepidolite, opal, etc. Why?  Well, for the simple reason that they  easily  slide into resonance with electronics & microwave radiation. That property is why silicon ( what silicates & quartz [silicon dioxide] are made of ) is so widely used in technology! It’s an excellent semi-conductor of energy. Some ask me what sort of stones they can place around their computers and laptops to help protect them from any radiation coming from there. I feel the best stones to use for this sort of EMF protection are  ferromagnetic (iron containing) stones  such as: lodestone/ magnetite  (these are essentially the same mineral, but lodestone is found naturally magnetized while magnetit...
