compos mentis

If you cannot find representations for a given element, remember…

You are supported by a rigid skeleton made of minerals. You are earth.

Your body is over 70% fluid. You are water.

Your lungs take in and expel breath. You are air.

Your blood is warm and your brain runs on electrical impulses. You are fire.

Your essence, however you describe it, resides within you. You are spirit.

You are composed of gifts from every element, and every element is given marvelous life in you.

Never feel that you are insufficiently magical for lack of icons or accoutrements or accessories.

Offering Pot of Old Mother Spider

While visiting my family with my partner, we both got a very strong feeling that we should visit this small flea market we came across. While perusing the tents, we each gasped and fell silent at the same time, having both laid eyes upon this piece.

“Traditionally, women collect several species of plants on St. John’s eve. These vary from area to area, but mostly include fennel, rue, rosemary, lemon verbena, mallows, laburnum, foxgloves and elder flowers. On the Feast of St. John, it is customary to gather the perennial herb “St. John’s Wort”. Since medieval times, the herbs have been hung over doors, windows and icons to keep witches and evil spirits away. In some areas, they are dipped in a vessel with water and left outside, exposed to the dew of night until the following morning, when people use the resulting flower water to wash their faces.“ – Saint John’s Eve
