Hey, uh... Pennsylvania Dutch magical traditions are closed, and anyone who isn't explicitly connected to them through family/initiation should NOT be claiming to be practitioners of Braucherei or any associated Germanic Pow-wow tradition.

You are literally breaking cultural and spiritual taboos by identifying with the Pennsylvania Dutch for any reason other than being directly connected to those traditions.

On this day in 1972, John Blymire "the York County hex murderer" died in Philadelphia, PA.

Blymire was born in 1895 in York County, PA. He was a creepy kid who claimed to have inherited magic powers from his father and grandfather, powerful Pennsylvania Dutch brauchers (also called "pow-wowers" or "witch-doctors").

Blymire lost those powers in his teen years. It was probably just puberty, but he chose to believe that he was being targeted by hexerei, or black magic. He spent all of his time and money trying to figure out who was behind it all.

After consulting other brauchers for years, Blymire decided the black magician was an old family acquaintance, Nelson Rehmeyer. On November 27th, 1928 Blymire and two young accomplices ambushed Rehmeyer in his home and murdered him.

Blymire was quickly caught. The "York County hex murder" grabbed the attention of the national media, which shined an uncomfortable spotlight on Pennsylvania Dutch folk beliefs and made the state seem like a superstitious backwater. Blymire was quickly convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia.

His sentence was commuted to time served in 1953 by Governor John S. Fine. After his release he was a model citizen.

We talked about the York County hex murder in Series 5's "Bound in Mystery and Shadow."

[image description: a digital art rendered in a semi realism style depicting a brown skinned, fancy shawl pow wow dancer. they sit down with their left knee propped up and their left arm resting on their knee. They have dark blue, black, and yellow colored regalia. They wear thin blue hair wraps around their braids, a yellow beaded choker, a yellow beaded headband, and blue beaded earrings with yellow accents. Their under dress has medium sleeves and is a shiny, dark fabric that glitters blue and purple in the light. a yellow shawl with a multicolored heart design rests on their right leg, with black fringes. a circular cropped image of an eastern tiger swallowtail resting on green leaves is overlaid next to the fancy shawl dancer, who's regalia and beadwork designs mimic the butterfly wings. end image description.]

Research is Devotion Friends!!

Hey, like, literally just make a playlist. Of all your favorite witchy songs. Anything. Even if they’re non witchy, anything that makes you think of your practice. Play it, and research your practice. Anything that relates to it. Deities, history, metaphysical shops nearby, Pinterest boards, my tumblr posts ;), folklore, the history of witchcraft in your area, paganism in different cultures, different pantheons. Literally anything. You spending time with your practice in any way or form can be considered your devotion. Some people don’t have the space or safety. Plus it’s fun to learn new things.

If you feel like you have nothing to research, look into Pennsylvanian Pow wowing, or Braucherei. Literally almost all of my ancestors did it. It saved my aunts life. Totally super cool stuff.

common windmill butterfly?

[image description: semi realistic digital drawing of a pale person with black hair in fancy shawl regalia, standing with a light smile. Their shawl is pink satin with two black ribbons sewn all along at the bottom of the hem, and white fringes. A white laminated paper titled "Red Thunderbird Pow wow" and the number "858" printed in the center of it is pinned to the shawl. The dancer's hair is wrapped in pink hair wraps and tied at the ends with pink shell, and black ferret fur dangling at the end of it. Their underdress is also pink satin, and their waist is covered with a black leather mirror belt, and the front half of the vest sits in front of their chest. The vest, moccasins, choker, and leggings have a design mimics the pattern of the butterfly wings. They wear a black eagle feather behind their head. end description.]
