Witches Unguenta: Dragon's Blood and Blood Root...

11/17/2014

Q: Had read about the elected topic in a book. Had understood about it from this book that it is a plant. Also had tried to engine search for this plant, but, only come up as something a witch makes as a flying potion of some sort. OH I know a person doesn't really fly like Superman, that you're nothing but in an astral state. Your help is appreciated to the recipe as I am aware its an ancient one or for the litterate plant!! Also have these questions: 1. Where I can obtain the plant called Blood Root? 2. Where can I also obtain the plants for the Amber plus Dragon Blood ? I do know they are resins. OH1 I have found some so-called flying ointments while engine searching, no promise they'll work until I purchase the ingredients to fine out.

Thank you for your time,
Dawn

A: Dragon's Blood is the red resin of a certain type of
Palm Tree & pretty easy to get online.
But I think my previous reply covers the whole flying ointment thing.
I'd rather drive.

The Pentagram isn't a Symbol of Witchcraft... ?

11/17/2014

Q: THE PENTAGRAM ISN'T A SYMBOL OF WITCHCRAFT!!!!!!
NOR THE CROSS A SYMBOL OF THE CHRISTIAN SECT!!!!
AND, JESUS CHRIST NEVER EXISTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A1: Winifred responds... A2: Mark Responds

A1: Greetings Dawn, Symbols in general have many different meanings as do many things individuals hold sacred. The pentagram, the equilateral cross and the crucifix are no different. Take the swastika for example. The symbol by itself depending on your association with it takes on different meanings and uses. The swastika inherently on its own is not a bad symbol. You can find it in depictions of Thor on his belt. You can also find it in Tibetan writings. Symbols are borrowed/assimilated by different groups for a certain particular quality it can offer the group. It doesn't mean that the symbol itself doesn't have other origins or uses. Its about the intent behind it.

Wiccans certainly are not the only ones to use the pentacle. It's uses can be also be found in Eastern Healing modalities like acupuncture for treatment and diagnostic purposes for example.. And varying types Crosses have been use since the dawn of time by people of all walks of life for different purposes and different reasons.

As far as Jesus Christ is concerned, they are pretty sure a man by that name existed who was known as Rabbi and a great teacher.. There are many books on the subject. If you are really interested in the formation of how modern day Christianity was formed, I mean really bloodily formed, would suggest by starting with Holy Blood Holy Grail. You might find its side information to be also interesting.

I'm sure Mark can expound on all this further.

Blessings,
Winifred

A2: I agree. It was also the Seal of Solomon & is still used by ceremonial magicians & dates back centuries. The HP of my coven & best friend studies & is also a member of the Golden Dawn & they use it quite a bit, especially in the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. But you see, Witches have always begged, borrowed & stolen magickal tidbits from wherever they could, if they worked for them. As for the J-Man. Who knows? They didn't have YouTube then.

Blessed Be,

Poisonous Herbs...

11/17/2014

Q: Have been reading a book titled Wizards and witches. Finding this book interesting. Am wanting to know if there is any truth to these herbs the author claims of deadly nightshade, monkshood, thornapple, plus henbane are made into an ointment to aid witches in night flying? A book and herb dealer claims wolfsbane is used for cloaking. Is that true?

Sincerely,
Dawn

A1: Winifred responds... A2: Mark Responds

A1: Greetings Dawn, I would suggest acquiring a couple of real honest to goodness herbal manuals to accompany your other reading. If you are interested in using herbs in your work you need to know more about them, especially if you intend to wear, ingest or inhale them. Certain plants and other natural ingredients, by themselves or in-conjunction with other plants or compounds can make you very ill and even kill you. In some cases, by even just smelling or touching them. .. and yes these four are of the deadly variety! There are books such as "Kitchen Witchery" by Marilyn F. Daniel that give you substitutions for deadly ingredients. Her book runs the gamut from oils to comestibles. Nice little book.

Again, I'm sure Mark may have a few words to say about this.

Blessings,
Winifred

A2: Hi, Those recipes include deadly ingredients because they were coerced out of people under torture during the Witch Trials. It is my guess that they did so in hopes that the inquisitors would try them & die instead of fly. Also, hallucinogenics are usually poisons, in that the poison makes the mind hallucinate, giving, perhaps, a sensation of flight. Again, don't try this at home.

Gender Change...

Q: Hi, I was wondering if there is a way that I can change gender by using a spell?

Thanks
anonymous male

A: Though you can certainly use spellwork to strengthen your feminine / yin energy, I don't think that literal of a transformation is possible without medical procedures. I know many Transgender people, both Male to Female & Female to male. All of them had some form of psychological guidance to help them through it before, during & after. 2 in fact are/were close to me, 1 is a Female to male witch in my coven. The other, Lady Ironfox, was a Male to Female Witch who was in my coven, but crossed over 8 years ago. She was the strongest Witch I had ever met at that point, probably still is. It was Ironfox's inner strength that made her who she was regardless of gender. She made the change she wanted both with & without magick. But the essence of who she was made her do it all wisely. I really, really hope this helps.

Blessed Be,
Rev. Mark A. Lyons

Breaking up a couple...

11/17/2014

Q: I'm trying to break up a couple. This girl ruined our relationship, and he is being very blind to it. Is there any freezer spell that can do the job?

A: Personally, I'd let him go. No sense mucking about with magick when humans are just being human. Love magick is one of the most dangerous forms, even in the breaking up of a love & if it's true love,it won't work anyway. Instead I suggest reading up on how spells actually work. They are like prayers with props on some level. Plus there's the whole 3fold Law of Return to consider. No, I'd let him go, get myself back up to speed with loving my self & getting my life in a shape. THEN, I'd cast for a new love. One that is perfect for me wherever I am in my life. I can say that because, that's exactly what I did. It worked for me. "A perfect love in a perfect way. A perfect partner to come & play. For the highest good & harming none, as I will it, so let it be done.

Just sayin...

Blessed Be,

Bindings...

Q: Hello!.. I have question for How do I contact him? In one video he gave info on binding with mirrors.. but.. what of binding of a lover?.. and the amount of time it takes for this sort of thing to manifest? I also have other questions.

Thank you
Rose

A: I my experience binding a lover should be 100% mutual. Otherwise it isn't Love, it's control. Trust me, I've done it & it always ends horribly. Rather, I suggest casting for someone who is perfect for you. For example: I want a perfect Love in a perfect way. A lover who's fun & a lover who'll stay. For the highest good & harming none, as I will it, so let it be done. So Mote it be.

Blessed Be,
Rev. Mark A. Lyons
