Healing Soup Spell

🍜Healing Soup Spell 🍜

I based this recipe off of this recipe I found a few years ago and it has gone through a LOT of tweaking, especially in regards to herbs and the like.You can 1000% customize this spell to your heart’s content – especially if you’re not a Norse practitioner like me! I came up with the spell during my undergrad when I was helping organize an academic conference and didn’t have the time to get sick since the conference was a week away and it works wonders!

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. butter (I’d highly recommend my garlic butter protection spell!) ½ an onion (protection, cleansing, absorbing negative energy) ½ c. of celery, chopped (calming) 1 c. of carrots, diced (protection, healing) ½ to 1 lb. of chicken (grounding, healing, protection, strength) 1 ½ c. of vegetable broth, salted 5 c. of chicken broth, salted 1 ½ c. pasta of choice (I use pasta in fun shapes!) ½ tsp. basil (protection, purification, harmony, calm) ½ tsp. oregano (happiness, strength, vitality, energy) ¼ tsp. sage (protection, purification, cleansing) 2-3 sprigs of fresh rosemary (protection, purification, banishing, healing, sleep) Grated ginger to taste; about 1 tsp. (health, prosperity) Sea salt or pink salt to taste (purification, cleansing, banishing, grounding and centering) Pepper to taste (protection, banishing, wards off dark/negative energy) 6+ cloves of garlic, minced; dependent on personal taste (health, prosperity)

Cooking Instructions: 

1. Rub salt and pepper into your chicken and throw it into a frying pan with the rest of your butter and cook your chicken. Once it’s finished cooking, let your meat rest and then shred it. 2. As your chicken rests, in a medium to large sized pot, heat up 1 tbsp. butter until it’s mostly melted. Then throw in your onion and your celery and cook them until they’re soft. 3. Add your vegetable and chicken broth into the pot with the celery and onion and add your diced carrots into the broth pot. 4. Add your herbs and wait until your vegetables go soft. 5. After your vegetables soften, put your shredded chicken into the pot along with your desired pasta and the sprigs of rosemary. Cook for about 20 minutes or so (or at least until you reach the desired density of pasta; I prefer mushy noodles when I get sick because my throat swells). 6. After this time, take your herbs that you’ve used and sprinkle the herbs on your soup in the form of the following runes: Ansuz, Sowilo/Sowulo, and Laguz. Ansuz - Good health, harmony, blessings. Sowilo/Sowulo - The sun, life-force, health, victory, wholeness. Laguz - Water, healing power of renewal, life energy. Note: If you don’t work with runes and/or aren’t a Norse practitioner, you can absolutely omit this step OR you can create your own sigil beforehand. If you don’t want to use these specific runes, you can also do your research into what other runes might be beneficial for you! 7. Once you’ve sprinkled on your rune-herbs, you can do a little chant if you so desire. I like to sing the Healing Incantation from Tangled. As you chant or sing, stir your soup, clockwise/sunwise/deosil/doesil to imbue your soup with luck. 8. Consume your soup! I find that this recipe makes enough to last a few days, too!

I’ve been an anxious human lately, so I thought I’d share a trick one of my old therapists gave me to help keep myself grounded.

The Rainbow Method

If you feel yourself getting lost in your anxiety, take a moment to slow down and take a breath. Look around the room your in. Find things that are the colors of the rainbow, and work through them in order. 

Start with something red, then orange, yellow, etc. Repeat as many times as you would like/need to. I like to make it a challenge to see if I can keep finding new things that are those particular colors.

I find it is really helpful at bringing me back into a physical space rather than getting lost in a mental one. I hope this is helpful for some of you!

The Worst Tarot Cards Give the Best Advice

Some find it confusing when a difficult card falls in the advice position. Death is not asking you to die. But the Five of Cups wishes you would cry.

Death

Purge your soul of what no longer serves you. It will only be more painful if you wait for life to force you.

Three of Swords

Acknowledge your pain. The wound will fester if you keep denying its presence. Healing begins only with acceptance.

The Devil

Dive into it with all your might. Do not go gentle into that good night. It will all be worth the fall.

Five of Cups

Cry till the tears run dry. Till the darkness has gone, leaving only the light. Then turn around for a wondrous sight.

Two of Swords

You will never be completely certain. No one is in life. All you can do is follow your heart. It will lead you to what is right.

Five of Wands

There is a time for peace. But it is not today. You have to fight for your beliefs. Let nothing stand in your way.

Seven of Swords

Leave your morals at the door. This is no place for principles. What matters is survival. Time to think like a criminal.

Ten of Wands

You are walking through fire, and the pain is unbearable. But give it one more minute. The hurt will all be worth it.

Eight of Swords

You look at yourself and see a prisoner. And yet the ropes are loose and the lock is open. Stop acting the victim.

Five of Swords

So you lost. Cry for a while. Then dry your eyes and try again tomorrow. No need to drown in sorrow.

Nine of Swords

Turn your fear into fuel. Do not sit there waiting for destruction. Fight with all your might to escape annihilation.

Five of Pentacles

If you bother to look up, you will notice a shelter. Enough with the self-pity. Time to outsmart the weather.

Nine of Wands

As things stand, it is not safe for you to love. This is not the time to fall. Protect your heart, and build a wall.

Ten of Swords

Some pains demand to be felt. So feel them. Give them their deserved recognition. Then banish them to oblivion.

The Tower

Let it end. Watch calmly as it comes crashing down. You have to eradicate the old before you can build a new town.

Magical Tip:

when you have visitors coming over, burn a white candle by the door they will be coming in to purify and cleanse any energy they bring into your home with them.

Tips for writing spells:

If you want to keep something close, bury it in your back yard. If you want to attract something, bury it under the front door step If you want to destroy its influence, burn it. If you want it to move away and sink, throw it in running water If you want to disperse it to a distance, throw it into a crossroads If you want to fix its influence, inter it in a five-spot pattern If you want it to work by means of spirits, bury it in a graveyard If you want to hide its point of origin, conceal it in a tree If you want it to work in secret, give it in food or drink If you want it to work by stealth, hide it in clothing or on objects If you want its influence to begin or strengthen, throw it East If you want its influence to end or weaken, throw it West If you want its influence to rise and fall cyclicly, float it in a tidal estuary
