23rd Psalm for Today
War is my Shepherd. I will always want, It’ll make you lie down in your own blood, and leads the world to disaster. It destroys my soul. It makes me walk in paths of unrighteousness for its own names sake. Yeah, Even though I walk through the vale of death, I will continue to cause children harm and fear, For you, hatred and impunity, are with me, your bombs and your guns –  comfort…

The 23rd Psalm: Pan-Religious
The 23rd Psalm: Pan-Religious
Some of my readers might not know that Señora – my principal muse – is not Hispanic. In fact she is Jewish.  Why I use Señora is a somewhat convoluted tale for another day. Most folks who are not familiar with Jews tend to think of Jews as they are portrayed in the movies or on television.  Those are frequently Orthodox Jews or perhaps Conservative Jews. I have concluded that there are about as…

Christ as Shepherd
THE TWENTY-THIRD PSALM BEGINS, “The Lord is my shepherd.” Pastor Preston Atkinson, lead pastor at my church, recently taught on the 23rd Psalm. He said a lot of baggage comes with this book of the Bible, especially regarding tradition, adding, “We all live downstream from tradition.” Custom dictates, For example, that it be read at most funerals. My grandmother’s pastor read it at hers, and it…

Snake Skin Oil For Protection.
Tumblr media
I know a lot of people are afraid of snakes, but it is important to understand that in many cultures, serpent have ties to the cycle of life, death and rebirth.
Before monotheism, snake worship was nearly universal. A symbol of the Great Goddess in Old Europe, Fertility icon in Southeast Asia, Creator- Damballah in Africa, A representation of the celestial equator in Mayan archaeoastronomy, A companion to the God Shiva in India, The "adversary" of human beings in Judaism and Christianity (devil) even Native Americans history.
Jewelry from snakes (like the eyes) were also worn for protection.
So when we look at serpents remember that our ansestors were one with nature and uses snakes is to utilize the energy to keep away the negative people from your lives, such as family, friend etc. In the south call this is called 'A Snake In The Grass' (it's a southern term meaning like mice or rats they come in your live and disrupts it) The ones that only think about them selves.
Snakes are considered spirits of nature and have been used for ages in magic. It's used in spells and rituals in Hoodoo, Voodoo, Witchcraft and more.
What Can Snake Skin Do: The skin of a snake can be used to reverse bad luck, hexes and curses. As well as to hex, and curse another. It can undo and do onto others. Snake Skin can also be used for Protection from others. It can be used to anoint an object to keep it from being touched by.
For this working I'm going to show you how to make snake oil for Protection. When making it snake oil it really depends on what it is going to be used for and that will determine what other ingredients are going in with it.
Tumblr media
Snake Skin Oil For Protection:
Get some snake skin (you can buy it) put it in a bottle of oil.
Pray the 23rd Psalms. Then place it in a dark place for 3 days. After the 3 days take it out.
That's it.
The best way to spiritually work with anything in nature whether it be animal, mineral, or plant is to study its character and understand its natural power.

Constant
Tumblr media
I’m always a little skeptical about people who find hidden meanings in the Bible.
Probably because I grew up around some ultra fundamentalists who did weird things with Scripture.
Like playing “apocalypse calendar” – giving dates and names to stuff in the Book of Revelation so they could figure out when the world was going to end.
Or assigning numbers to Hebrew letters and words so that they could “discover the true meaning” of some passage in Old Testament. 
But then there are times when things like that hit home. Like with the 23rd Psalm (today’s psalm).
In Hebrew, Psalm 23 has 55 words. There are 26 words before and 26 words after the words at the middle of the psalm. In the middle of the 23rd Psalm are the Hebrew words that are classically translated as “for Thou art with me.”
As in “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou are with me.”
Whether it’s all green pastures and still waters or if what we see coming our way couldn’t look any scarier. No matter what’s going on in our lives, there is one constant.
The only One who is constant. The only One who will never leave us or forsake us.
Even when anyone else would have abandoned us long ago.
Even when we’re too scared or hurt too much to feel His presence.
“Thou art with me.”
This time, the numbers make sense.
Because the heart of the 23rd Psalm (according to the word count) is the heart of what the Psalmist is saying.
“Thou art with me.”
Today, make time to pray the 23rd Psalm. But don’t just recite it from memory.
Stop in the middle. Stay a moment with the heart of the 23rd Psalm.
Stay with the peace and the trust that flows from this simple truth.
“Thou art with me.”

There are times in life when we suffer painful physical or emotional circumstances, and cry out to God to deliver us, not realising that He is doing something in us through the situation. We are told in God’s word to rest in the Lord.
"My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest” (Exodus 33:14).
Resting in the Lord doesn’t necessarily make the circumstances change immediately, but we can rest in Him being with us to help us through the situation. Remember these words from the 23rd Psalm, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.”
Don’t forget that God is your Father. He loves you and will do what is best for you. You might not see it now, especially if the circumstances seem impossible, but hold on to His word. He who cannot lie says, “Be still and know that I am God”

Herb Of The Day
Title: Adder's Tongue
Gender: Feminine
Element: Water
Planet: Moon
Tumblr media
History & Folklore
Traditional European folk use of leaves and rhizomes as a poultice for wounds. This remedy was sometimes called the "Green Oil of Charity". A tea made from the leaves was used as a traditional European folk remedy for internal bleeding and vomiting. Traditionally used to stop people from slandering you, including nasty relatives. As for the name, potentially it was inspired the shape if the spore-bearing spike and, for usage, by Psalm 140:5, “They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips.” Voodoo practitioners would keep meddlesome people way with powdered dried beef tongue for use, sometimes in combinations with herbs, in mojo bags or as a sachet powder. Witches (traditional natural religion practitioners) have been known to use the drug for healing, divination, and magical spells involving dreams.
Human DNA contains 23 pairs of chromosomes 46 in total. Adders tongue fern has up to an amazing 1260 chromosomes. This is only possible because it is such a primitive plant. It’s been used for magic since the middle ages but is not very well known by modern witches.  The name Ophioglossum comes from the Greek ophios (serpent), and glossa (tongue). Medieval herbalists called it “a fine cooling herb,” but if anyone picking the hard-to-find herb risked being followed by snakes. In witchcraft, the herb’s use is said to stop slander and gossip. Adder’s-spear ointment was sold by apothecaries from the 18th century. Adder’s tongue was a popular treatment for scrofula, a form of tuberculosis that affects the lymph nodes in the neck, and it is still used by herbalists for skin ailments. The name “Christ’s spear” comes from its appearance, and the fact that Jesus’ side was pierced by a spear. Therefore, according to Paracelsus’s 16th-century Doctrine of Signatures the plant was used to cure wounds. In flower language it is a symbol of jealousy.

Metaphysical Properties
Dry the leaves and grind them into a powder and then sprinkle them around the front door the home of those who are slandering you, or gossiping about you in ways that border on slander. Or, you can combine the leaves with ground-up Slippery Elm bark, brew it, cool it and strain it and then pour it over yourself from your shoulders to your toes. Some suggest reciting the 23rd Psalm while doing this. If the people who have been slandering you are visitors to your house–such as relatives or neighbors–collect this mixture from your bathtub, add one teaspoon of ammonia, and you’ll have a wash you can use for scrubbing our doorstep and front walk. If your entry hall can be cleaned with liquids, use the wash there as well.
The Adder’s Tongue may be used in spells for lust or to combat frigidity. Gathered during waning moon, the bulbs and leaves may be used as a plaster for tumors and boils. Soak it in cold water, wrap it in a cloth, and apply to a wound or bruise until the herb is warm, then bury wet herb in muddy place. It is said that drinking an infusion of this herb will give you the “gift of tongues,” but refer to the medical indications below; you may only want to try this as a mouth rinse.
Tumblr media
Culinary & Medicinal Properties
This ancient recipe using adder’s tongue is recommended as an ointment for wounds: “Put two pounds of leaves chopped very fine into a half-pint of oil and one and a half pounds of suet melted together. Boil the whole till the herb is crisp, and then strain off from the leaves.” A witchcraft alternative for treating wounds and bruising is: “Soak some adder’s tongue in cold water, wrap it in a cloth, and apply it to the wound or bruise it until the herb grows warm. Bury the wet herb in a muddy place. The wound will be cured.”
Leaves are used as a vegetable. Young fronds are commonly eaten as a salad or vegetable. Leaves should be blanched only; if boiled too much they turn into slime. Leaves and rhizomes have been used across Europe as a poultice for wounds. Fresh leaves make an effective and comforting poultice for ulcers and tumors. Juice of the leaves, drunk alone, or with distilled water of horsetail, used to be popular for internal wounds and bruises. Distilled water was also considered good for sore eyes. Juice of the leaves drank with distilled water of Horse-tail is good for relieving hiccough, and for vomiting, or bleeding at the mouth or nose.
For ruptures or burst bellies, take as much of the powder of the dried leaves as will lie on a sixpence, or less, according to the age of the patient, in two ounces of horse-tail or oak-bud water, sweetened with syrup of quinces. Root and the leaves are antiseptic, detergent, emetic, haemostatic, styptic and vulnerary. An ointment made from the plant is considered to be a good remedy for wounds and is also used in the treatment of skin ulcers. Expressed juice of the leaves is drunk as a treatment for internal bleeding and bruising. Warm decoction of the rhizome is used topically on boils.
Leaf juice is drunk against spasms of the heart. Leaves, boiled in oil, are applied to wounds. Plant is used as an anti-inflammatory medicine. Tea made from the leaves was used as a traditional European folk remedy for internal bleeding and vomiting.
