"Don't eat the food of angry people"

There's a saying in my family that goes back generations. It's this - "Don't eat the food of angry people or cook while you're mad."

What that means is that when a person cooks angry or cooks while emotional the food becomes imbued with that energy. When you eat the food you take on that emotion until it is out of your body.

And, yes, my family is Appalachian as fuck.

All I can say about this is that whenever I eat my momma's cooking I go through a 48 hr angry emotional mess. It was like this when I was a child too. Never felt that way with my dad's cooking or my grandma's cooking.

Today, my momma cooked while angry and depressed and I ate two bowls...and wouldn't you know it! I'm going through a small depression blip that has made me a crying mess. I couldn't stream tonight. I uninstalled a bunch of stuff from my computer. I asked for a refund for one game. I considered deleting my Twitch and all of my socials. I canceled my WoW subscription. My mind and body are really going through it right now.

Currently, I'm eating peaches and peanut crackers with green tea to try and get some digestive movement on the horizon. Just trying to separate the Depression Valley mess from my actual self.

AND A FULL MOON TOMORROW!?!?!?!

Is 26 too young to be calling myself Mamaw? I do mean as in the title btw. Some of my friends are already saying I’m “Mamaw Maggie” and I’m already doing protection spells for folks around me and cooking for them if they���re hungry and all the other stuff a Mamaw does

To me it 100% makes sense that the Inquisitor and Rook aren’t interested in blood magic.

When someone who grew up in Ferelden imagines a blood mage, they’re picturing their burnout cousin who brews moonshine and has punched a cop.

Northern Marchers, or anyone else who grew up within spitting distance of Tevinter, are picturing Mitch McConnell.

Whenever I listen to country western music stuff starts happening in my house. I hear a male voice in my bedroom harmonize with Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson sometimes. I hear a woman’s voice harmonize with Coal Miner’s Daughter (that would be my Grannie) damn near every time. Different smells permeate through the house that remind me of family members. Them letting me know that they’re always around. Sometimes I even feel a pat on top of my head.

Music is so powerful in all forms of spirituality including folk pathways, witchcraft, paganism, etc. Music can connect you with people and places when you really need them.

Just thought I would share.

How To Stop A Boo Hag From Riding You Or Your Family. Hoodoo Working.

In this post I'll be talking on Boo Hags and giving a working to capture one from writing you are a family member.

But before I do let's talk on what they actually are.

Where Did The Story Come From? Boo Hag is rooted in African American folklore, mostly by the Gullah-Geechee communities along low country. Now one origin of the Boo Hag is traced back to West African folklore and there is a creature known as the “Adze” or “Ade” a Adze.

What Are They? Boo hags are spirits, their similar to vampires that may be undead beings or spirits that feed off of living humans by sitting on their victims chest and sucking the energy or life sustenance from a person's breath, instead of their blood. I think their spirits of dead witches who continue to do bad after death, over time they change into this enity. Boo Hags can also give a person the medical condition known as "Sleep Paralysis"

You may wake up with strange scratches, recurring nightmares, exhaustion and illness as a result. All together, these symptoms will lead to mental illness or death

How To They Get In My House? They can easily enter your house through very small openings like a window, or a crack in a wall, key holes etc.

Fortunately, there are some warning signs that a Boo Hag may be close by. Some dogs are able to sense their presence and will start howling or barking. Crows will also recognize them. The air will be hot and damp, smell of rot and decay can happen. Now I never experienced one my self but if you have these signs then It could be a hag.

How Can One Hope To Stop Such Evil? For all of the Boo Hag’s power, there are a number of ways to keep her at bay.

Story goes that they obsessive-compulsive disorder and feels compelled to count the actions any small objects. Scattering sesame seeds around the bed will accomplish this as well can help you escape.

Who knows how fast they count but they do like to count. Sun light can destroy her.

Fake Hoodoo. I see this a lot, Boo Hag, hates the smell of asafoetida. This plaint is native to places like Turkmenistan, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan so understand how did the African Americans use this in the south. DON'T BUY.

WORKING: To Catch A Boo Hags.

Get yourself a blue bottle. Haunt blue and a plain white candle. (You can bye these bottles cheap online or use a bud platinum bottle or a milk of magnesia bottle)

Clean the bottle out. Then turn the bottle on its side and place it by the door of the room or where you believe the hag might be coming in at.

Next place mustered seeds under the bed making a line from the bed all the way to the bottle, then around the bottle. (You can add a pinch of salt to it a well.

Light your white candle in the back behind the bottle. Pray the 23rd Psalms.

If and when the candle start making hussing or crackling sounds you have it trapped in the bottle. Take your cap and close the bottle up take it out side and dispose of it. The sun will destroy it.

I think the thing in some fanfic, where Fenris reacts to healing magic with anger or rejection is incredibly baffling. Like, it makes no sense to me? If it was someone from southern Thedas who was scared of magic, then yes, that reaction makes perfect sense. In southern Thedas, fear of magic is, nine times out of ten, a fear of the unknown.

But Fenris is from Tevinter, it stands to reason that he probably knows a lot more about magic than the average person just from being around Danarius 24/7 (probably more than Fenris is comfortable with). He has no reason to reject healing magic because there is no way he doesn't know what it does, or hasn't had it used on him before (Danarius wouldn't want permanent damage to a valuable after all). He's also just very pragmatic, he doesn't have to like it but he'll do it without complaint, likely with gratitude for the healing. I mean, I know for a fact it's been pointed out before, but he has literal combat dialogue asking for healing.

Fenris isn't scared of magic because he doesn't understand it, he's scared of magic because he understands it. The knowledge sources the fear.
