What is a Thoughtform?

if you work with or have done research on the Elder Fuþark runes, you may have noticed that there are lots of variations on the names. & i mean LOTS, e.g.:

there are a couple of reasons for this:

HOWEVER, most actual runic inscriptions in the Elder Fuþark are actually in Proto-Norse, the intermediate stage between Proto-Indo-European and Old Norse. A lot of the discrepancies between the attested names & their names in other Germanic languages (i.e. Gothic and Old English) is due to this fact (Orðstírr has a good intro to Proto-Norse sounds especially re: runes)

modern English is missing many of the sounds and letters that existed in early Germanic languages, so variant spellings are different ways of rendering them in our limited 26-letter alphabet

many sources on runes come from magickal writings from many decades ago, and because language science is constantly evolving, so has our reconstruction of Proto-Germanic. thus, many of the names are based on outdated reconstructions.

most magickal writings on runes are not written by historical linguists who study ancient Germanic languages

luckily i regularly study & use Proto-Germanic, & based on our most recent & accurate reconstructions, the names for the Elder Fuþark would have probably taken the following forms (text in /slashes/ is IPA phonemic transcription; where names are different, this is due to differring names in the different attested langauges, or variation within Proto-Germanic dialects):

ᚠ    *fehu /ɸexu/ “wealth, cattle”

ᚢ    *ūruz /uːruz/ “aurochs”

ᚦ    *þurisaz /θurisɑz/ “giant, monster” OR  *þurnuz /θurnuz/ “thorn”

ᚨ     *ansuz /ɑnsuz/ “deity, mouth”

ᚱ     *raidō /rɑi̯ðɔː/ “journey”

ᚲ    *kēnaz /keːnɑz/ “torch” OR *kauną /kɑu̯nɑ̃/ “ulcer”

ᚷ    *gebō /ɣeβɔː/ “gift”

ᚹ    *wunjō /wunjɔː/ “joy”

ᚺ    *haglaz /xɑɣlɑz/ “hail(storm)”

ᚾ    *naudiz /nɑu̯ðiz/ “need, distress, force”

ᛁ    *īsaz /iːsɑz/ “ice”

ᛃ    *jērą /jɛːrɑ̃/ “year”

ᛇ    *ēhaz /eːxɑz/ < *īhwaz /iːxʷɑz/ OR *īwaz /iːwɑz/ “yew”

ᛈ    *perþō /perθɔː/  “?pear-tree, ??game-box (uncertain)”

ᛉ    *elhaz /elxɑz/ OR *algiz /ɑlɣiz/ “elk”

ᛊ    *sōwulą /sɔːwulɑ̃/ OR *sōwilą /sɔːwilɑ̃/ “sun”

ᛏ    *tīwaz /tiːwɑz/ “the god *Tīwaz (Norse Týr, Anglo-Saxon Tíw > Tue[sday])”

ᛒ    *berkaną /berkɑnɑ̃/ “birch”

ᛖ    *ehwaz /exʷɑz/ “horse”

ᛗ    *mannaz /mɑnnɑz/ “human, person”

Hermes Prayer Beads. Guide of souls. Lord of literature. He of the stone pile and the winged sandals.

I know I’m not the only one. There are other witches who hide their mental illness on their witchcraft blog. I’ve never personally seen hostility towards the mentally ill in the witchcraft community here, but I still made a whole separate blog for my craft out of fear of judgment.

I have seen other witches vaguely mention their mental health, so I know I am not alone here. I don’t want my personal blog and my witchcraft blog to be separate anymore. My practice IS personal, and keeping them separate takes too much energy. I have already begun posting witchcraft related things on this blog, but I still hesitate reaching out to other witches from this blog.

PLEASE REBLOG if you are a witch who has or is supportive of serious mental illnesses (including but not limited to Dissociative Identity Disorder, Schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bi-polar Disorder, etc.) I want to know who I can safely reach out to.

How to: propagate succulents

A lot of posts will tell you to consume things. A lot. They say “combine these herbs and drink them, or smoke them”. Others merely tell you what benefits the herbs have, such as luck or money attraction or love. 

Don’t do this blindly.

It makes me crazy! Look, if its a common kitchen ingredient (parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, etc.) then yes, by all means, ingest that. But some things you need to check.

For example, licorice. It has medicinal uses, but you need to be aware of dosing, and if you are pregnant or nursing, you need to be very aware that you can’t consume it. 

Saint John’s Wort can be used to treat mild mood disorders and depression, but it can also cause photosensitivity and affect the metabolization of medications. Meaning, it can change how effective your already prescribed medications work. This includes antibiotics, birth control, antidepressants and a host of other drugs. Grapefruit and slippery elm do this too.

I’ve seen people recommending the use of jimson weed in flying ointments because it has hallucinogenic affects, but its toxic.

I’ve also seen people forget that things can be absorbed through the skin, and affect you anyway.

Herbal medicine is real. Herbs and spices and plants have real affects. You need to be very, very respectful of that fact when ingesting them.

Here’s a decent rule of thumb: 

You can trust the internet or witchcraft related book if you’re putting it in a spell jar or a sachet or a poppet.

If you are trying to smoke something, look it up.

If you are trying to put something on your skin, look it up.

If you are going to eat or drink something, look it up.

Your safety is paramount to all else.

Lastly, don’t rely on witch sites for this. The National Institute of Health and the Mayo Clinic have website sections and books available discussing the actual properties of herbs from a medical perspective and their drug interactions and their affects on particular health conditions. If you have a serious medical condition, refer to a doctor before anyone on the internet, and check that taking what you want to take is alright.
