Sewing and Stitching Magic

Dear Neophyte,

It’s just a button, and yet it’s so much more.

One could use mending as a magical sewing of a family unit together. One could sew a spell into clothing. You can make the button itself a charm for attracting and warding. You can scratch a sigil on the back of the button or buy a new button with a sigil already on it. You can MAKE buttons out of polymer clay if you were the creative type, and stamp anything you damn well please onto the front of them.

If you have a choice, you can pick a thread color or button color to go with the purpose. You can choose a material or metal that corresponds. You can choose a day and a time. You can sew the button on to match a rune if you so choose. Just sew the thread in the shape of a rune if you are able, or just imagine you are sewing the rune on if you can’t get it exact. 


Blessings,
Sesh

Magic Rings

Dear Neophyte,


I've always liked the idea of promise rings and engraved wedding rings.  I'll skip what is in the LJ post about wedding rings and their quotes and go strait to the magical use:

The engraving idea got me to thinking that if you used Theban you could write a very, very pretty phrase around the outside of a smooth wedding ring. This is one way of having an inexpensive $20 gold ring from walmart and not have to have a diamond in it.  You can also engrave the exact promise into a $20 gold ring (cause that is't allot of money when faced with keeping a promise you had to buy a RING for) and if it were in theban and on the outside of the band, you could read it and no one else would know your promise / vice. 

Oh, just though that this could be a whole field of magic if you like.  Engraving bands of certain metals with sigils and then wearing it for specific purposes.  See... magic and life go hand in hand!

Also, as I am a Witch, I will probably like to engrave mine with sigils.   Included would be keeping the wearer safe, fidelity, tenderness, and health. Last would be for a love that burned consistently like a coal, not a flame that constantly has to be fed and threatens to leave every time a breeze blows into the marriage.

Just an idea :)

Blessings,
