#Well Water

Pumping [Well] Water Without Electricity:

For city-dwellers, this won't be an option and massive water storage and/or filtering/purification may be the only options when the public water is contaminated or not running.

For those with Well Water, the Well may not be dry but the electric pump could go on the fritz or the grid could go down. If the grid is down, a power generator is the easiest method to power the well pump but if the electric pump is on the fritz, or there is some other situation when electricity is not available to pump water; you may need water out of an existing well or to pump from a pond, creek, or some other outside water source. That's when It's good to have a manual (emergency hand pump) and, maybe a 12-volt/DC, backup plan.

I wrote a Technique piece called, "In Praise of the Unexpected Rhyme," for Songwriting Magazine (issue 30), about how unconventional rhyming can bring additional depth, interest, texture, & surprise to a song. Featuring examples by Joni Mitchell, Aimee Mann, Leonard Cohen, Joanna Newsom, and me (re: my new single, “Well Water (feat. Shara Nova)”. Purchase the digital issue HERE.

Mesopotamian Ghost Spell (1)

An ancient Mesopotamian formula to drive away ghosts allegedly works against either actual physical manifestations or disturbing, consistent dream visitations:

Blend vinegar, rainwater, well water, ditch water, and river water.

Asperge the ghost-infested area with this liquid.

Ring a bell vigorously.

Hold a lit torch in the left hand and a cattle horn in the right. (If you’re out of cattle horns, substitute a shofar, the Jewish ritual horn, available from Judaic religious supply stores.)

Announce in a firm, clear, steady voice: My goddess,* look upon me! My god,* watch over me! Let angry hearts be calm Satiate and appease anger Establish protective boundaries for me Establish well being for me.

*Substitute names as desired.

(from The Element Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells by Judika Illes)

Love is like a well, it runs deep but sometimes there's brain eating amoebas in there

my family is fucking addicted to macgyvering and it's becoming a problem. every time something in this house breaks, instead of doing the sensible thing of replacing it or calling someone qualified to fix it, we all group around the offending object with a manic look in our eyes and everyone gets a try at fixing it while being cheered on or ridiculed by the rest.

it's a beautiful bonding activity, but the "creative" fixes have turned our house into a quasihaunted escape room like contraption where everything works, but only in the wonkiest of ways. you need a huge block of iron to turn on the stove. the oven only works if a specific clock is plugged in. the bread machine has a huge wood block just stapled to it that has become foundational to its function. sometimes when you use the toaster the doorbell rings. and that's just the kitchen.

it's all fun and games until you have guests over and you have to lay out the rules of the house like it's a fucking board game. welcome to the beautiful guest room. don't pull out the couch yourself you need a screwdriver for that, and that metal rod makes the lamp work so don't move it. it also made me a terrifying roommate in college, because it makes me think i can fix anything with enough hubris and a drill. you want to call the landlord about a leaky faucet? as if. one time my dad made me install a new power socket because we ran our of extension cords

I love how bad Astarion is with his cover story. You meet him and he's like "I'm a magistrate" then he stealths, disarms a trap, double dashes and backstabs a goblin all while giggling about spilling blood and you're just like hm yeah that's the legal system for you

"My Brightest Diamond’s Shara Nova joins Nathaniel Bellows on the single “Well Water,” just released through Harmon Blunt Music. The pairing–built upon multiple past collaborations– creates a conversation between the two contrasting voices, which in turn captures texture, contrast, atmosphere, beauty, and surprise." —Beehive Candy

There is no definite answer to whether your well has soft or hard water. This is because it can differ from well to well depending on its location and what the mineral composition of the soil and bedrock is like.
