Ghost-Busting With Artemis Absinthe
As some of you know, i got Anthony Ashworth in to do some ghost-busting the other day. And it was brilliant. He is mostly working in the Southern Hemisphere but he’s networked to the hilt (he had an amazing Elder wand carved as a Snake and with a rose quartz crystal in the mouth, it was made for him by England’s Chief Druid at the time) so you can email him to get reccies for space-clearings, ghost-bustings etc where-ever it is you live. I like him as he has an insanely brill knowledge of esoterica, Shamanic stuff and myth but he is also an avid listener…And he is Aries! NOT at all like the peeps we bitched about in Bad Guru Syndrome.
So some random thoughts re the process…this is just if you’re interested in space cleansing, ghosts and so on. I get that it may be insanely dull for some peeps.
* I smudge and spray Space Cleansing spray around whenever i clean (a lot – Mars in Virgo, right?!) and my house is Feng Shuied to the hilt + i got the Ley Lines done. So i almost thought he might walk in and say nothing needed to be done. Like when you fantasize that a trainer is somehow going to excuse you from lunges lol. But now he came in with what looked like half of Hogwarts and laid it out on my desk. Some scary looking instruments were, he said, just in case. Happily we didn’t need the full on ‘fuq off demon’ expulsion kit.
* Runes are rad. I don’t think about them very often but i SHOULD because of my German-Nordic heritage. It is good to get with your DNA-Racial type myths-Pagan traditions. And Runes are simple to use. eg; I am now getting the Algiz rune carved into the table i do most of my writing on. It is for Protection (from Love Zombies?) and Opportunity, amongst other things. So this is like a simple but effective way to magic up your everyday life. Not everyone wants to go around carving Runes into furniture, i get it, you can have a little wooden plaque or something if you want.
* The actual clearing is full ON. I guarantee your neighbors will hate your guts by the end of it. There is an ultra-loud Ganesh bell, loads and loads of Sage, a drum that sounds satisfyingly primordial + loads of melodic but carrying chanting of ancient Mantras. Before it, whilst Anthony is setting up the mandala (like the one above but i was too absorbed to get a pic of my actual one soz – it had the Runes done in salt- you have to have a cleansing shower with this stunning natural magic gunk: rosemary, frankincense, sea salt and a few other things i forget. You come out looking and feeling sensational – the bath, less so.
* Artemesia Absinthe! This stuff is something else. It’s absinthe made with mugwort, the most powerful magic herb of all…aka Herb of Artemis. You can only put a couple of drops on your tongue, it is amazingly bitter and said to help you access other dimensions. Genius substance. You can make it yourself. I am seriously considering doing this but fear that with the excuse of it being SO enchanted and good for you, it would too easy to develop a hefty Blue Devil Hoochie Juice habit. You steep mugwort in vodka, i think. It also has the effect – as does all Mugwort no matter how you do it – of cutting unhealthy ties. It is like Anti Love Zombie Venom but all the more powerful for being with alcohol. Alcohol is Arabic for “The Spirits” f.y.i.
* Anthony the Aries Ghost Buster said there were NO ghosts in the house. So i’m like “well w.t.f has been waking me up in the middle of the night?” He said it can be emfs or even your own electrical energy going haywire. This makes sense as i have Aqua Rising and a very prominent Uranus – i get those sleep startles, clairaudience & electric shocks non-stop. But then he discovered the portal in the back yard. I have a side courtyard thing but a tiny back yard, so dark and annoying that when i moved her last Aug, i basically decided to ignore it. I am not going to go into long-winded explanation re this, it felt right. Even though it’s my main $$ & Romance sector. I know, right, der? And so when AA could not open the door to get out there, i was doing a rad job of talking him into totes ignoring it all. He was insistent, saying “it is part of your property, you have to confront this…” like a shrink with a snake wand. So THAT is where there was a Portal. Portals are neutral. Anything can come through them. (Sydney Residents: There is apparently a massive one on Cleveland St lol) There could technically be more with the Large Hadron Particle Collider doing its things. BUT the point is that you discourage crap entities from coming through by making the area where it is awesome. And i had let this little area be all dank and unloved. It is not just the Portal, it’s also that it is a double 8 in Flying Star Feng Shui so it needs to be a gorgeous area. So my new OBSESSION is to beautify this area so i instantly (swathed in a haze of Sage smoke – i think neighbours think i am a massive pothead now) texted the Celtic Leo and said you HAVE to help me with this. He is good value. He is painting me a giant Red Ankh to go on the wall, weeding and researching whether a plant i call Dunny Creeper but which has a more spiritual name will work there.
* AA is genius at helping you work out your Power Animals/Totems/Guides etc. He doesn’t prescribe. He just sort of asks interesting questions and the answers present themselves. Amazing. And he thinks you should always have a representation of it – at least one- in your house. For power and as a ready symbol so you can all upon it and/or feel strengthened gazing at the pic. Plus it’s more magic. In your house. So i am getting the awesome Raven pic below. It’s a superb pic because the Artist actually gets that Ravens in the underworld are always silver. That is how they show up.
* Ganesh – the Elephant God said to be the Remover of Obstacles – is brilliant to have as a statue guarding your entrance. Inside if you think he is going to be nicked. Ganesh, says AA, is like a Christ figure. I am NOT going to attempt a retelling of the myth here but he is said to guard the Divine Feminine…Interesting, yes?
Okay, so there was loads more but it was fascinating and yah, the house feels completely diff. Unfortunately it also bought up a whole lot of flu-like symptoms (a ghost cleansing crisis?) but the clearing aspect of it works a treat. And the ideas to magic up one’s house are just amazing. He does form school Feng Shui not Flying Star (my fave) but if you have already had Flying Star Feng Shui done, he just works around that. I realize this reads like an ad and it is actually not – i paid and it’s not cheap lol! So time consuming, exhausting and loud but totes worth it i.m.o.
So I dunno, what do you think? And would it be legal for me to make Artemis Absinthe and sell it through the site as Anti Love Zombie Venom?
Thoughts?
Plus here is the Raven pic by Terry Fan that i just ordered from Society 6 – adore.
+1 for Liz Wiggins ! The house is definitely fluffier since she did it (The Oracle told me to, bloody good advice) and the money-drain has stopped. Plus I have guppies in my bathroom now, which is nice
Loads and loads of fun when I called Mr Triffid and told him we needed a water feature in the kitchen to activate the Divine Water Dragon
Its working too !
I have a tiny Ganesha in my kitchen. He’s the God of Librarians as well.
I’m pleased to hear your space clearing worked – although I’m surprised your Ley Line person didn’t pick up the Portal – they’re usually clued into stuff like that…..
The tax collector in India has a large statue of Ghanesha in his office. I reckon they should be compulsory.
WOW – feel like my heads been Feng Shui’d after reading all that!
Need some time to absorb it all really, what an amazing experience. Thanks for sharing MM
Oooh Mystic sounds so exciting! I’d love Feng my house to the hilt but it’s hard when you live with 5 people, I have to stick to my own section of the house and that needs work.
Mugwort tincture is very easy, I make it all the time but funnily enough never thought about it as a Love Zombie protective juice. I’m going to sprinkle some on myself right now as I’m the closest LZ, erk. Here’s a pic of some Muggers getting steeped, next to some Damiana liqueur in the making, so, so recommend that stuff but don’t leave it lying near any LZ’s, danger, danger.
http://countryfried.tumblr.com/post/8403423762/mugwort-tincture-damiana-liqueur-brewing
yes what do you do if you live in a sharehouse ??? heh.
the room could use some love but I am crap with feng shui
there is heaps of stuff in the housewitch section – drop down categories menu on the right x
ahh ty xxx
Yeah it’s hard in a sharer, people move stuff and aren’t always okay with the woo woo. We have two ghosts who bothered me a LOT until I moved rooms, the person in my old room has no issues (that he knows about, he’s heavily Cap) with them and nobody else fancied an exorcism. I just talk to them frequently and smudge the area at least once a week.
great link. love that website.
Thanks, that’s me.
I remember thinking when I first saw these on your tumblr – there’s a girl after my own heart.
My two faves. You’re right about the damiana liqueur. That’s a great one to use on Beltane 
Both so good and so easy to make. Don’t however give the Damiana to a LZ, especially don’t give it to multiple LZ’s at the same time as I did one night (on a rare break from being one myself). Madness!!
This is brilliant, Mystic! I so love all this stuff, have not had the time or energy to pursue these interests in the last few years, and feel I have lost my connection somewhat. But this all just reminds me how much more I can make of my life, my situation, my potential, etc… I am seriously going to re-connect!
I have a little Ganesh in my car, tho… put him there again when I started my and my son’s new life, post-abuser
Can’t wait to hear how your Portal area turns out – a pic would be lovely!
I also asked the Oracle about my totem – the White Owl. Love this, described as the sigil of Guinevere from Arthurian legend, and also as able to see between worlds. Funny, I have been into Arthurian legends since childhood, but always thought quite poorly of Guinevere – how rude to throw over the King for a smooth-talking player! Of course, that could be due to my Cap Sun, Moon, Mars and Venus!!!
Loved how Athene, the Greek Goddess of Wisdom, had an Owl. Anyway, found a beautiful pic of a White Owl for my aspiration/dream board.
Yes yes PLEASE PLEASE do go with making up & selling the Artemis Absinthe & any other helpful aids to remedy & protect against Love Zombies, Power Stalkers, Nasty Portal Opportunists, et al!
I’m more than happy to PAY IN ADVANCE for ALL such wares… Seriously, you would NOT BELIEVE the amount of creepy power stalkery peeps, love zombies & chatty ghosts I’ve had to deal with in the last couple of years.
Bring on Mystic’s Apothecary.
A relative of mine from Leo Sri Lanka gave my daughter a tiny little ganesha, which I then went about trying to preserve before it was innocently given a premature reincarnation via the dollshouse, I am vague on this but I have been told or think so, you have the trunk facing the direction of the entrance…some people say you can put a coin on ganesha…we do not, but we do now have it on our hall stand.
I travelled through Rajisthan with distant relatives from Mumbai to the north and remember the Chand Baori well (Abhaneri), had a guide but I could not talk to him because I (sadly) cannot speak the dialect, but we could communicate through our appreciation of the carvings and mythology on the ruins. The pantheon / story of the “gods” there ganesha, parvarti, basically all of them, – geological survey of India was responsible for this site.
Oh I love this Mystic! I’m moving house soon and am so inspired to fix all the feng shui in there upon moving in!
anyone have any advice or contacts to pass on for peeps living near Brunswick, Victoria?
email anthony or liz – they’re loaded with contacts and there are SO many shonks in this area, it is always good to go thru proper networks – good luck with the move ! x
“it is part of your property, you have to confront this…”
Heh, that was the best part for me.
After you said you smudged when you cleaned I doubted you could have a ghost. I doubt there would be room for a ghost in your tenemos! (lol) What fun.
Sounds like a cool dude. Plenty of material for a short comedic film. Esp AA struggling with a blocked off door. First deal with the ghosts, then the elementals and then the blocked energies, sinks, doors, taps, etc.
Wow, Mystic! That all sounds so incredible. And now I have mandalas, elephants, and ankhs floating around in my head… *Divine*
Very interesting, the portal biz in your backyard! It made me think of a particular spot in my backyard that I have despised since day 1. I’ve thought about dealing with it and sprucing it up, even drew a pic of how I’d decorate it, but the project keeps getting pushed down to the bottom of my to-do list. This spot sits next to my veg garden; veg garden is in my $$ sector. No more putting it off: time to decorate the portal!
(My veg, btw, is booming. Lots of green and fruitfulness! And I haven’t done a thing to it but water, talk to the plants, and pull the biggest weeds.)
Interesting that your remedies include protecting your writing/work space, and the clearing/anti-LZ spray, and creating a portal that will attract the Lovely (not the Vampire-y)… Huh!
Thank you for sharing this!
Sounds fantastic and love the sound of all of these right now – have no uninvited guests but since Nov 11 – I’ve been stuck in a state of limbo unable to move forward, with past crap haunting me – despite the fact that I know what to do, I have remained stuck! I blame transiting Saturn on my Mars opposing my Sun and would prefer to be on a boat with books à la mode Scarlett !
Lived near Cleveland St Surry Hills for sometime 18 years ago and can totally believe there’s a portal there, I walked home along those streets often at night and never felt totally alone, a very strong energy there!
Have never given much thought to totem guides but suddenly found mine on Sunday, while consulting the Oracle ! It gave me Hare – which resonated so strongly (I’ve been drawn to novels lately which sound really special then find they have Hare in the title – it sounds so simplistic as I write it but it was a really strong connection, like more than just the books, a lightbulb moment and I realised it was my totem! Straight away I googled a gorgeous Durer picture for my mac, this is the beauty here http://www.the-athenaeum.org/art/full.php?ID=23619
Good luck Mystic, it all sounds like it is sure to bring great protection and energy.
PS – I’ll buy your Artemis Absinthe!
I’d like to share an alternate take on ghost clearing for peeps who may not have the money, knowledge, or resources to hire a pro or make a beautiful, complex ritutal out of it.
I’ve mentioned it before on the blog – after a I went to psychic circle my house was haunted for a few weeks. I ended up removing a mirror from my wall because it kept vibrating/rattling each time I got into bed. I was scared. I remember being in the shower terrified I would open my eyes and see dead people. I was praying, and the wisdom voice of source said “What do you care? You see people all the time!” And that’s when it hit me – some ghosts are just fuqwits, and we – each one of us – deal with fuqwits all the time. How do you deal with a fuqwit? Ignore them. Ghosts feed off fear. And, paradoxically, complex ritutals where you worry about getting it right, do have a fear tinge to them. And, really, dead people are not more powerful than living unless you so believe it. But, practically speaking, belief aside, living is the power position.
Anyway, a few weeks passed and they were gone. My then 5 year old girl said in the car in the morning “The bad spirits are all gone now.” I hadn’t talked with her about it, she hadn’t mentioned noticing the spirits until then, so I asked her what she meant and where did they go. And she said, in a tone like “gee, ma, don’t you get it” – “I don’t know. A wind blew them away.” And that was that.
Living is the power position. Living is the power position. Living is the power position. I repeat that three times, because its important to stay grounded in that truth, especially when fuqwits are around. Never give power to fear, fuqwits feed off that. I’m glad you sorted your house, MM. Good luck to any other who may have to do the same.
Great advice. Have only had one pesky ghost – the rest have been fine. I unfortunately aggravated this one when I moved into his house and proceeded to feng it up. Well he was having none of it. Definite power struggle going on.
Yes – I imagine it would be different to come into a ghost’s territory instead of having them come into yours. In my case, it wasn’t that my house was haunted, but that the fuqwits wanted me to work for them, noticed I was open. Not sure what to do when you share a house with one. Sounds like a room mate situation, honestly. Weird, but true.
Love that. Thanks 12th house virgo.
Yes great advice, I like your power position. Amazing about your daughter, is it just the two of you? Only reason I ask is I found my daughter was very psychic and in tune with my thoughts, it was just the two of us for a long time (she’s moved to college this year) Some things she came out with she couldn’t possibly have known or come across…
Yes – its just the two of us. I was so surprised, because she didn’t say anything about it – no “Mommy I’m scared” or any of that until they morning she announced they had left. I felt it too – the space was lighter – I was so stunned to hear her articulate it so well. It was like a wind blew them all away. Thank God.
Wow did amazing home clean today, mop and wipe over Alchemy works clearing oil, sea salt and rose Otto to out love back and methylated spirits hot water. Front and back courtyards got scrubbed all fresh with the rain. Everything feels fresh and beautiful. Also found beautiful magpie feather on my door mat – is my totem animal!
Would love this done in my home!
Very fun! And entertaining…
We need a GPS of all the portal locations!
This sounds so cool and I love the bit about confronting all your spaces. If you don’t have access to AA,how can you work out your totem/animal, I feel like I need to know this. Although I do ask the oracle regularly and this is quite fun. I like it when it tells me sunflowers but lately I keep getting the number 9. This is interesting because i like the number nine (it feels balanced, even, well rounded, even though it is an odd number) but in numerology I am a 9 also.
If anyone knows how you can work out your totem animal please share
Ta
yes, you should see our ‘backyard’. I wonder if we have a portal, our housemate tried to clean it before the swat team took him. hmm.
Love the post Mystic. Started smiling before I opened it when I saw the veve/sigil up the top. This all sounds so familiar. Been Fenging it up for years although I was more into Form School until about 5 years ago. OMG how amazing are the Flying Stars. Freaky and accurate. Of course sometimes it’s a challenge to make sure you’re doing it all right.
It’s weird this ghostly vibe has come up. Last week something felt kind of off in my home like there was a presence of some sort but I couldn’t figure out what was going on. Of course the answer appeared in my dreams that night. I was clearly told “Ah honey how bout you smudge your bedroom, get rid of some of that icky sludge from the past.”
Well of course I set to work first thing cleaning, vacuuming, windows, the damn lot. Ickyness…completely gone. My own Love Zombie past eradicated?!?
The Portal OH MY! Glad Anthony could work his magic. Sounds like a great guy – and an Aries no less.
What an amazing idea re the runes – all the more so with your ancestry. I always find runes very helpful when major transformations are taking place. Hello Pluto!!! Even better than tarot at times like that.
Amazing read as always. Re: the legality of Artemis Absinthe, whether this was a flip question or not – I’m going with not as it would be so handy to just buy some, I’d say if you mark it as “for entertainment purposes only, does not present a cure, contains x alcohol, consult your doctor” and all the legalese that basically says this ain’t medical mate, you should be fine.
But obviously I live in a litigious state hence the line of thought. It would be great though if there could be an Astro-Artemis night where such is served and peeps sort of move house to house helping each other out Feng Up/Ghost Bust/Clear. I can’t do smudging as any kind of smoke kicks up my asthma, but my house did resemble a pillar of salt at one point in time.
thank you, I was very inspired by this! spent my last few coins on some herbs and charcoal which has been ‘on my list’ for too long. I also just calculated what i can ascertain of my directions with a compass app I downloaded. feeling a bit clever!. My direction is south my number is 3 and my room is in the north of the house- though my “house” is the room for the povo of us that have all in one bedofficestudys. So I can’t put a fountain in there lol.
Mystic you also reminded me of totems. Mine is swan believe it or not so I am going to swanify. My ex used to call me his valkyrie.
a teeny fish tank with moving water and coloured rocks works a treat x
Dude, I would so buy your Love Zombie Antidote!
I think I’m gonna whip up a batch myself in time for this next new moon.
Update though — I am being way Saturn Girl about this breakup and feeling awesome. Green juice, ballet conditioning workouts every night and bought a convertible!
I am seriously enchanted by the flowers but am wondering is that a diaphragm with 4 wee carnations tucked under it in the top right quarter? If I had my way everyone’s house would be surrounded by flowers ruled by the planets in their chart planted in opportune places with lashings of salt to boot. I love your anecdote. It’s weird you should post this too, I had a conversation about rituals with circles of flowers a few hours ago. We used to have a vortex in the floor of our place that had ceremonial masks of an ancient culture swirling out of it sporadically – the culture at the other end of the fault line. Then a stranger came to the door looking embarrassed and said I don’t know why but I did a meditation and I was told to bring you this. It was a mask from the culture the vortex was showing us things from. We’d never told anyone about the swirling visual phenomenon and I never saw that guy again. I stuck his mask on the wall and the vortex was very generous with useful symbols in the time we spent there. You’ve inspired me to amp up the energy in my courtyard. It’s about time things got a bit more mystical round here. Sometimes you get bogged down and forget.
Wolf, a vortex?! How did this appear, like during dinner time, casually? Or was it a minds-eye thing?
mind’s eye other peeps saw things although I was full immersion. It was like a swirling funnel to start with and then the floor was open and things started flying out. The guy with the mask was freaky because I just took it, thanked him and then he left. Never even questioned it. Things were pretty other-worldly then. Now I would respond differently. Then we were full-time treading that path.
I suspect there’s a portal in lilyfield/balmain some wacky things happen there. Would be interested to know if anyone else has had experiences round the high school and mackenzie street
Hi Clued up wolf – i’m not sure where the high school is but i lived in Darling street. Had some strange experiences in the park near the PS. Once i was there with a friend at 3am after work – and a naked lady covered in newspaper came up to us – she’d locked herself out of her flat – sleepwalked or something. Got the paper from the recycle bins. She’d walked all the way up from the ferry dock in nothing but a bit of newspaper! I was waitressing at the time and leant her my apron (!) – it’s all i had on me. She returned it the next day.
Did have a very eerie feeling, that whole time in Balmain. In the best way. Sort of David Lynchian.
At the time i thought all of Balmain was sort of Lynchian. I met a lot of interesting people and had lots of really fascinating encounters that sound like dreams now when i recount them (like newspaper sleepwalker)….
I want to know so much more about ‘portals’…
yes! was that a dream is how I would describe some of the things that happened around there. It’s a weird zone – would love to know what the indigenous history of the area is – there are rock paintings at SCA where the old asylum is – they’re apparently along the water line.
I looked it up – according to Wikipeadia Balmain was home to the Eora tribe – who interestingly didn’t grow plants or crops but picked herbs for herbal remedies. They were also expert in close-to-shore fishing and had beautiful beliefs that you couldn’t kill something unless you killed its essence…
Also ghost-wise, i think there was an asylum near that park on Darling street, as well as a hospital (on an old asylum site?), i recall a girl – an actress i met strangely, at a pub, who became a close friend – telling me my apartment was built on a known-haunted site.
But i had a good time there. Eerie, but good. Just needed to ‘notice’ it all, if that makes any sense.
I’ve also spoken to people about Byron Bay – supposedly on a ley-line – and the reason so many people there take drugs etc is because the energy is so intense. But if you open to it (and keep off the hooch) you can be healed quickly. In indigenous history apparently it was a healing site but you weren’t supposed to stay longer than 3 months at a time.
Your words reminded me I had a crazy dream one night when I was staying there – on balmain road – down really close to the villagey bit. Dream was epic – I was being burned at the stake and the person who set the wood on fire was the person whose house I was sleeping in. It was one of those dreams you wake up from thinking you’re still in it. Next morning I went downstairs, got a coffee and walked into the living room and the person who had set me on fire for being a witch in my dream said ‘I want you to listen to this song, I think you’ll like it’. It was strange because it wasn’t an everyday genre so there was no reason for him to think I’d want to hear it and I almost vomited on the carpet because the lyrics were about taking witches to forests and hanging them from trees. I was frozen on the spot and SO grateful it was my last night staying in that house. There were some other weird experiences with spirits of nuns walking with me around there too.
Thank you so much for the Eora info – I never thought to look on wikipedia! The entire time I lived in that area I was a piscatarian
So many strange experiences happened round there – other people being witness to them as well helps a person not to feel insane. I had someone or thing push me from behind so I stumbled which was weird in itself but then a stranger came running over to say they saw it happen and it was as if something invisible had pushed me – they saw the indent in my coat as it happened.
I saw the past there too, saw some old people in clothes from another time and the house they were sitting in front of looked like it did when it was first built yetit couldn’t be because it was new in a retro way and then heard a voice say something about the house which really scared me because I hadn’t had so much experience of this stuff at that point. I went to work and when I came home later that night a full-scale cordoned off emergency was going on and the thing that had been whispered in my ear was happening.
Railway Street in Newtown is another place where stuff like this happened big-time. To the right of king street going towards enmore. VERY uranian energy there. Electrical.
I didn’t have so much time last night to answer properly but I love your naked woman story – what will one do when naked in the street now that we live in the digital age?
He he, yes it was a strange experience. I admired her ingenuity! And also the gumption to approach me and my friend and ask for some clothes. Poor thing…
Wow. Shazaam! I had experiences that begun round the corner at Merton Street. This progressed into weekly sessions down at a park near the water. We found a cave that was our sacred womb that we honoured. At the end of our journey, that cave got filled with rocks & is now entirely closed off & hidden from sight. Our thrones are still there though. I still like to go down there & sit & ponder.
Reading this post just takes me back to that time & I’m realising how much I miss those experiences. Even though I truly thought I was losing my mind & struggled to be in this world knowing what I did & everyone around me was oblivious. Wish I had someone to get back into it with.
CRAZY I get random urges to go down there on the water line but I always ignore them because I don’t want to walk through the old asylum grounds. That place totally freaks me out. Was going to apply to SCA but the whole asylum thing really put me off. I wonder if I’m picking up on your energy when I get the urges? I could feel when you were living near me so maybe I am. Next time I feel the vibe I might take a bus to the mental hospital
Did you ever spend time by the hollowed out canoe which looks out to sea on the hill in the botanic gardens? I used to find remnants of workings there. Coloured thread and sticks bound together nestled in the roots of the big tree. Lovely vista. Always made me smile.
Went to the asylum grounds a couple of times, my friend& I were all about facing our fears;)
The park I went to is elsewhere. Kinda don’t want to reveal here as it’s quite special to me. Can email me if you like rozelle_weirdness@hotmail.com
Never hung out at the canoe, love that you found workings!! Get excited when I encounter such evidence
This post has really re-awakened something in me long dormant, thanks Mystic!
Getting a statue of Ganesh anyway, should probably pick up some runes. My mom made her own set out of clay back when I was a kid. I miss them.
Mystic,
your so cool
So many sacred, lovely things to do to one’s home and not just live in a house.
Great to hear you had some clearing done, sounds fab !
Love the raven – mine is toads / frogs. My sis painted a frog so love it hanging above my mantle in the warm wet months, in winter, the stag she painted comes out for the Cap months are coming around and I have energy in all the horned signs.
Ganesh, I love – have 3. The most interesting of which is a balsa wood postcard. Without fail – it pitches itself to the floor when an obstacle is being removed – whenever it does, (similar to 555 on the clock), my feelers twitch ! WoOosh !
Love the space cleansing spray, did the same for a friends sickroom, heard it did wonders. Luck with your yard – sounds like fun Mystic x
Need me a ‘fuq off Demon’ expulsion kit myself. Can you get them on like, e-bay or whatevs?
‘Dreaming’ of War, mass suicides, starvation, desperation, global suffering… the whole fuqing lot…
*rubs Zombified looking eyes and pounding head*
LOVED this post so much!
thanks so much for sharing the experience with us – so much to learn from it and of course most of us will never have the wherewithal to hire a space clearer…
Awesome! Thank you!
The oracle keeps telling me that something is up re Feng Shui in my house. I have been attempting to move ever since I moved in and for various reasons – building inspections failed, time restraints, exams etc have prevented a move…
anti-love zombie venom yes PLEASE.
this post was otherwise hilarious & fascinating to read… i love these glimpses into yr life mystic, such a captivating existence to us poor unmystical english folk surrounded by bad weather, bad housing & bad debt
My amazing ghost busting lady came with no baggage and got rid of said ghost within 5 minutes. She just had a quiet chat with the ghost, gently explaining to him that he had passed on and then she created a portal for him on the otherside and off he went. The atmosphere in the house has been lovely since that day (it felt a bit sad and heavy before then). She got rid of other energy by mentally conjuring up something that ended up resembling a giant candyfloss stick, which was twirled across all the surfaces, taking all the negative energy with it (including remnants of my ex-partner).
I actually don’t think these people need any of the gimmicks and props – they’re more for the customer and putting on a bit of a show.
She’s a leading expert in ley lines, ghosts and entities here (NZ) and has been very busy since the earthquakes as it has resulted in increased paranormal activity and disturbed ley lines.
my vortex was there – i think it saved my ass
That sounded like a lot of fun, there is nothing like good, clean, fresh start, especially if you work from home.
Tho personally I don’t tell demons to ‘fuq off’, we all serve our part in the Divine plan imo and some entities teach us to be more aware through what seems disservice. It’s quite easy to incorporate most of them into the Source through simple reasoning with them as they have consciousness too.
Others aren’t ready to leave but it is a free will zone. They can go elsewhere.
I do love a good bell and whistle, playing Beethoven at full blast can be similarly cleansing. It’s not a strictly necessary part of the process to use tools but useful for grounding thoughts/understanding etc into this dimensional reality. I try to avoid tools these days as you imprint your energy in these items and I don’t like to leave energetic footprints. Still can’t help lovingly crystals howevs!
I have much love and time for Ganesha, he is truly a great teacher and utterly pragmatic in his operations, sometimes unlike frequencies of beings that have never actually incarnated here.
Re ghost-busting, I also like the Ho’oponopono way of trying to achieve “the state of Zero”.
Basically most things are resolved with “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you.”
Something along the lines of rather than healing others, you heal the part of you that manifested them in your life.
Just to clarify, the artemesia genus of plants has many species, one of which is artemisia absinthium, aka wormwood. It was one of the ingredients in the notorious French spirit, absinthe, which was banned for a while, but was discovered to be no more harmful or mind altering than any other booze (except that absinthe traditionally was at 45 – 74% alcohol). Nice wiki here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absinthe
There are several varieties of mugwort, and although they’re sometimes confused with wormwood due to their similar chemical makeup, they are different species, commonly artemisia vulgaris or artemisia argyi.
So if you can’t be bothered to make your own absinthe, apparently you can buy it at some bottle shops. I dunno. I don’t drink.
Brilliant! Since reading your site, I have started drinking mugwort tea and lovin’ the runes…..and discovered THAT SHIT WORKS!!!!!
THANKYOUUUUUUUUUU
I’m in LOVE with this post Mystic!
Have for some time wanted to see a shaman, but cost is a bit prohibitive atm as I am a poor student. But this post and comments from all the lovely readers blew me away. So much to learn about space cleansing, clearing and blessing.
Will definitely be smudging the new place we move to in a few weeks time
German Nordic Heritage and connecting with the runes, so apt. Smiled when I read that they are Rad in your post. Rad, the fifth rune representing ritual and process, related to mercury and can represent inner and outer journeys,(command and control) I have a special spot for this rune as growing up we always referred to something fabulous as being rad, always taken that in with interpretating that particular rune, that and Radical and Divine. Love the Algiz hand crafting, the power of Algiz is so potent, some time in the future someone is going to inherit that desk and the magic behind it. I had Elhaz crafted into a stained glass above one of my doors when we built our place and was very firm with the intention behind it, I recommend anyone using this rune around entries to their home. O h and I think Nigel Pennick is great for anyone wishing to delve into the magical world of runes. love raven powerful womens wisdom/magic
Glad your house is nice and clear now. Reminds me of when my poor mum had to get a similar kind of exorcism done on our home when I was 15 and thought it would be genius to conduct saturday night seances in my bedroom in order to let Kurt Cobain know how awesome me and my friends thought he was…Jim Morrison too. They didn’t turn up, but some creepy little nasties did.
I’ll never forget my mum and I standing out the front of the house, incense billowing out the windows while some aum chant thingy was blasting, neighbours watching and she’s just scowling at me! Worked though lol
I love this post so much. I want to know about portals – where they are in Melbourne. I’ve written on ‘ghost-heavy’ sites of Melbourne but never heard of portals before. I’m entranced! Fascinating re: Cleveland Street. I lived in Surry HIlls and remember crossing Cleveland to get to the park. Wow. Wish I’d known i was crossing a portal! V exciting. Maybe that’s why all the crazy stuff started to flow in after my time in Surry Hills (and daily runs at the portal park?!!)
I also love what someone said above which is that the home isn’t just a house. It’s a sacred place of creation and doors and portals and magic. I love that Mystic posts on such things and i always take notes.
I’d love to get someone in to my place in Brunswick (Victoria) but i only rent, i fear it would be wasted money.
I am however housesitting a place in Castlemaine next week which is fenged to the nines and have slept there before (has no EMF’s) like a baby. Woke up feeling i’d been wrapped in cotton wool. So safe. So nurturing.
One more thing: re: spirit animals. I wonder if nicknames and dreams give you a hint. My Aries ex used to call me ‘kitten’ and i often dream of kittens who become babies and vice versa. The oracle said cats are my spirit animal. I actually have Bast (Ubasti) conjunct my sun.
Lots of love – I adore this post and thank you Mystic – love hearing of people honouring this stuff. As it should be.
daily runs at the portal park?!!)
love it!!!!!!!
Yes! Daily runs at the portal park followed by the 5 tibetans in the sunshine.
Then i got my book deal!
Must have been the portals. We really should talk about these things more in daily chitchat
!
Yep, love this post too. Am living in an apartment that is badly feng shui´d but will be here for a few months I think – long story. Anyway these hints help me think about how to mitigate the probs. Much food for thought.
Smudging helps loads. Smudging with INTENTION = times a thousand…
And you can even smudge in share houses!
and where I am living currently, so, so much fresh rue (Ruta graveolens) is sold in the markets, basically for psychic cleansing. When I buy a bunch and add it to the water I mop the floor with, the place does feel so much cleaner – a different sort of way.
i think this is my favorite post ever! so much amazingness to digest… and it helped me to find my animal totem! she came to me in a dream two nights ago, then yesterday i awoke to this post, asked “who is my totem” specifically, and drew her. i’ve drawn her many times and had her on my altar for a year, but never allowed myself to truly accept that she could be me. beautiful. lynx!
With all this mention of mugwort, it really should carry the disclaimer of the real dangers of using this herb when pregnant, or whilst trying to conceive!
so… does it follow that if one has no desire to conceive it is good to have mugwort around?
Loved this post, thanks Mystic
I’m going to make a bucket load (or two) or two of Artemisia Absinthe as I have a garden bed overflowing with Mugwort at the moment.
whoah this blog is excellent i love reading your posts. Stay up the great work!
