Cord Spinning (Working Towards Patching Holes in the Veil)

A Durational Performance by Goo-Witch (Shelby Burchett) and Robin Kosel for Flesh Crisis at The Drugstore, Curated by Jessica Borusky

The Veil is the barrier between this world and other non-physical planes-  worlds of spirits, magical beasts, alternate realities. The past year has brought on extremely negative, surreal, chaotic, and otherworldly experiences for many people.  Many practitioners of the magic community attribute the events of the recent past to the 'thinning' or total collapsing of the Veil.The Goo-Witch seeks to provide a platform of communal power and unified identity through creating small spells via 'cord magic’.Cord magic is a very old form of magic that is often overlooked. In traditional cord magic, Cords are braided together while concentrating on a desired end.  The Goo-Witch will continuously spin cord throughout the evening while focusing her intent on positive and radical change, inclusion, and feminine power. Viewers will be encouraged to add to the community cord that the Goo-Witch spins by choosing materials from the space that represent their own magical intent for the year to come and adding it into the spun wool.The spinning of the magical cord will be a continuous performance throughout the year- collecting as much positive and powerful energy from others to begin to patch the Veil and protect those who have felt the effects of it's thinning.Magical elements to add into the wool: Cascarilla: spiritual projection and shielding, invocation Lavender: cleansing, happiness, healing, good luck, meditation, stability Bay leaves: warding off evil, stopping unwanted interference, anti-jinx Onion: prosperity, endurance, protection, banishing, ending bad habits, dispel anger in others Geranium: love, acceptance, bringing balance, release anxiety, combats depression Rosemary: healing, protection, purification, strength, stress relief Clove: protection, exorcism, love, money Lemon Grass: anti-enemy, ant-jinx Sage: cleansing, healing, money, prosperityColor Correspondance: White: Safety, protection, transformation, enlightenment, connection to higher self Black: creation, rebirth, absorbing energies, patience, binding, stability, neutralizing forces Brown: Security, friendship, animal magic, endurance, grounding, strengthening, solidifying Blue: Increase wisdom, wealth, joy, opportunity, patience, peace, truth, loyalty, meditation Orange: relieving depression, increasing opportunities, mental alertness, breaking down barriers Shots by Jason Zeh

Gentle reminder that often creativity decides to hibernate for a bit.

It’s okay.  You’re not broken, you’re resting, and much like spring, creativity comes back.
