Apotropaic Magic and House Protection | Evidence of Witchcraft?
Were our Ancestors Witches? This is a much debated question. Can we say that witchcraft was purely a modern revival, or is there evidence of people performing acts of witchcraft and magic in the past? Brian Hoggard suggests in his book, Magical House Protection, Evidence of Counter Witchcraft, that we can answer some of these questions by looking at the real archaeological evidence left in old houses, that may indicate that superstition and witchcraft practices went hand in hand. Concealed Shoes, Dead Cats, and strange Witch Marks, like those found at Creswell Crags, leave us some physical evidence of strange magical acts which were quite widespread from the 13th right up until the early ...

The Witch's Broom was believed to have many magickal properties, not least of which was being able to fly through the skies and take the Witch on a magickal journey. Owning a broom was a clear and evident sign of Witchcraft then, and a Witch would use the broom in a variety of ways. But how did this innocent household object become so iconic of the craft of the Witch? What customs surround the ...

I've just found your channel, or maybe it found me. Its beautiful. Thankyou
Glad you enjoy it!
Four years later and I agree. Very interesting.
Now thats going to bug me.
Hello! I would love to hear your thoughts on what you think the Underworld is. Is it a place or other dimension .....like the Spirit Realm?
Hmm interesting question. I think it's a place and another dimension. I think it's the place of cause before the effect, so linked to the ancestors, the dead, the subconscious, even the DNA. I think we see the earth as 3D, without allowing for..ooh quantum entanglement, connection to other places, connection to symbolic reality, even other beings. If you believe Mother Earth has a consciousness too.. then it's the place that helps you to access her inner being? And things that have been like echoes, and things that are forming.. as in her dreaming. What do you think it is??
What is the handle made of normally in UK?
traditionally Ash.. but can be other wood...it's not a hard and fast rule
I’m not even an eighth of the way through this video & I’m absolutely astounded at how stunning this cupboard looks. You have an amazing knack for many things but perhaps you’ve found your niche? As always I love everything about your videos. The thought & care you put into them exudes through the airways. Truly beautiful! Thank you from across the pond💋🌻🔮
Lovely to see you again! Very interesting video and there was a lot that I didn’t know before. Thank you so much! 🧹🔮🐈⬛🧙🏻♀️
You're welcome and glad you enjoyed it x
Hello lovely. I love your videos. Really look forward to seeing them. Lovely to see you back. Have a great day 😊
Thank you x
Beautiful and simple spell. My family has always seen the horse as a lunar creature. In our tradition we use both the moon bowl (legs up) and moon gate (legs down) positions, but for different reasons. The moon bowl position is for fortune/luck and is hung over doorways. Traditionally this would've been the vōrdö (caravan) door, but now it's in the home. Also we used to only hang one cause there used to only be one door going in and out, but now with homes one is hung over every door leading outside to make sure you always receive the blessings. The moon gate position is strictly used in marking spiritual spaces. Traditionally this would've only been the Hrām (a woodland or forest temple), but in these modern times has also been used to mark a sacred space/altar room/etc.
Oh that's really interesting.. thanks
It's gorgeous! I don't know much about German folk art, but it looks very much like the Ukrainian-Polish folk art you'll see.
Ah Ok.. I'm not sure I could place it.. a bit of everything.. I call a lot of Eastern Europe Germanic.. maybe wrongly!

In ancient Egypt in Bubastis, there was the temple of Bastet, the cat goddess . A lot of cat mummies were found there probably for religious purposes.
It has been said that it has something to do with the mummification and worship of cats

Absolutely fascinating! When I had some building work done to our old stone cottage the builder discovered a hag stone in the wall which I now have hanging up by the back door
Lucky you! Very odd, a lucky hag stone. Maybe you should have placed something of your own in return?? Wonder how old your hag stone is??
@@TheWitchInTheWoods The cottage was built in the 1700s and the hag stone was found in an original wall

What do you mean by "if you could split the pips?" Do you mean if when you the it the seeds cut too?
yes, that's what I meant

Actually I can prove the actual meaning and derivative of Wyrd means Work. All of these will have the base meaning of work which itself means press/move/set in motion, and having the context of shape as in create. ts older usage and spelling shows as much well before the 12th century application in the Eddas in relation to the Nrnir (Norns). Examples, wyrkh, werg, uerg, uerch, weorh, wert, werk, uarge, arg, argr, ergi, ergy as in energy and urge also meaning work, and more. Its also the shared root of Eerie as iry from erg/ergi/ergy which was combined with Fa- derived from the same source as vett/fata/veta/wih/wight/ all akin to Latin wita 'life" combined in fa-iry (life worker). Its repeated again in the original sources of the word Dwarf literally b=meaning both "do work and to work" from du-erg (also spelled tuerg), dDweorh, dweruȝ, dwergh, dwerk, duerki, duerch, dorche, dearch, duarf, dwerf, dwerffe, dwarfe, dwarff, dwarw, duerwe, dwerewes, dwerowe, duorow, dwery, duery, dwarfe, dwarve, dweorh, dweorg, dueorge, dwarfer, and dwarfes and so forth. I was able to dig these out when I used the Oxford English Dictionary's etymology searches and reference sources and cross compared old concordances and grammar books, as well as references to specific texts. Its also consistent with what the more mythological and folklore based associations with such figures indicates which only reinforces all of this. Even the concept of word as expression, ward as in protection and Worth as in contribution all related to these ancient concepts that for whatever reason has been ignored. Using the same methds I also deduced the actual meaning and source of the words Warlock from the singular warlog and its plural warlogan in the Heliand meaning lawmen, purely masculine titles, and is a plural and pronounced Waer-loh-en with a silent G) akin to latin vir and lex, and in the Domboc for Witch from wicc, and its plural wiccan pronounced weech-en and alkin to Old Latin vica and preserved in Old Slavic Veche and Danish Wecha meaning speak and used as a gloss for oracle, and purely feminine titles. Of course this is also reinforced nearly 800 years later by John Dryden who didn't exactly admit to or claimed he didn't know the meanig of either word, but did state clearly (which has been falsely claimed as the whole Scottish origin bit out of context and never cited) in his writtings around 1672-1673: "Warlock, in Scotland is applied to a man whom the vulgar suppose to be conversant with spirits, as a woman who carries on the same commerce is called a witch.” Recorded on April 15th, 1755 CE, from the original edition of "A Dictionary of the English Language" on Page 2243 and repeated in the First Edition of “A dictionary of the Scottish Language” published on January 1, 1818. Same jobs, same culture, not opposing forces, no association with the "Devil" in these examples. Just references to men and women associated with old ways predating monotheism's dominance and influences in genera which was simply called "new ways" at those times. A couple things also tend to be missed or confused. Wyrda is often confused in specifics with Orlog also seplled Worlog and Vorlag. Orlog is first as the cosmic primal laws that sets the patterns, wyrda is what creates using those patters. However, as hinted at, there is the essence of like, the vita called the Wihas/Wihaz 'life" as a concept similar to Polynesian Mana, spirit in the sense of power, and so on, that the Wyrda shapes by Orlog's or Worlog's designs into all the forms and expressions of existence. And whats aligned with this again? Worlog/Orlog, Warlock, and The Law Giver God which is a noun reduced from Godan from it form as god as an adjective meaning good. Godan means Good One, from the old refernces to the deity of the Lombards. Wyrd/Urd, Witch, and the weavers as the three Goddesses which is already well known but the difference is they are the same ages and not a single female deity. They were called the three sisters, the three mothers, the three matrons and so on. Well attested. Wihas/Vita: Wights, Vaettir, Fairies. The life force and words that were used to simply mean a living thing before resptricted to the sense of ghosts and spirits, and has strong connections to folk customs and traditions. There's you connections. There's the real links. That's the Old, Old connections several European cultures shared in common in part to Romans seeking to structure everything around the 1sth and 2nd centuries before the reworking and reintroduction of another Imperial decree was established in the 3rd and 4th centuries of the Old Empire. Thanks and enjoy and check out such references if you haven't already. .
Thank you. That's all very interesting
His connection with Lie, cheat ; dutch leugen, german lügen, belagen. In the meaning of cover up ; lage = trap, hiding, he wears a cape ? cover, lid, member and the spear as a phallus. A pander and deceiver, seems st. Paul's role in christianity. Zat zijn (dutch) = be fed up, be drunk, overeaten, english sadness has the shifted meaning of grief. The greek master of skills (arts) is He-phaistos (lord of the vast place/workshop). Flavius Josephus names Paul as Festus. Lammas is the feast of lameness, the rest after the hard work. Lamenting in english has the stretched meaning of complaining or mourning.
Lovely video, thank you.🧹💖Loved seeing kitty at the end.🥰😻
You’re right, the cat was the icing on the cake. Thank you, I enjoyed the history lesson 💖🐈 🐈⬛
any time i have sent a hex or curse it is to send back the hurt and suffering they caused me. i saw no repercussions...BUT i did notice i was more angry afterward. as if the curse was hanging around, despite cleansing etc. while i dont regret it, i stay away from the dark side. karma may move slowly but she always shows up. just wait for her.

Very interesting, leynines, as Alfred Watkins stipulated must consist of at least four sites all in a straight line and can literally be any of length, so can be aligned in a World grid, and also interstellar leylines streaching out into the Cosmos, perhaps infinitely. The pop/performance artist Bill Drummond (KLF), is very interested in this phenomonon, citing his love for Iceland, where, he claims a volcano is a node for an interstellar leyline as it connects Earth to outer space.
great theory
