BROOMSTRAW

“And didn’t she take a straw and check to see if the cake was done. Didn’t I see her do that? It’s witchcraft is what it is. How in all of nature can a broom straw predict if a cake is done.”

“There’s dough on the straw if the cake is not done. It’s a testing is all.”

“Science then and what’s worse… But I still think it witchcraft. The cake tasted of strawberries and honeycomb and it the middle of winter. And she divined it with a broom straw.”

Sigdrifa's prayer

SIGDRIFA's PRAYER

This prayer comes from the Poetic Edda. It is a prayer for the between times known to us as Twilight, both morning and evening. Those times when the light balances between that which is called Day and that which is called Night. This prayer is powerful. Many people use this prayer and the collective focus on these words have imbued it with ond (lifeforce).

Hail Day!
Hail Day’s Son!
Hail Night and her Daughter!
Look upon us, Twain,
With loving eyes
And bid us good speed,

Hail Gods!
Hail Goddesses!
Hail much needed Earth!
Sayings and sage wit
Grant to us, the Storied Ones
And healing hands in this life.
