OT Good thoughts Please
Courtney is improved amazingly.
They actually let her get out of bed and take her moniters for a walk to the nurse's station and back, and she didn't fall down or anything. The doctors are well pleased. The fever is reduced and under control, and since she is much clearer of mind they think she will have a complete mental recovery. They feel she is enough improved to start some gentle physical therapy to start countering the physical effects of the stroke as well. They are treading a bit of a fine line with it, but they say the more they can do before the heart surgery the better for her in the long run as she will probably be abed for a good bit after the operation. The good wishes of all have been much appreciated. The comjure, hoodoo, and vaudon folk have been busy as well. The child has been hung about with charms, sprinkled with all manner of uncrossing remedies, and loaded down with blue. Mama now has a bottle tree in the yard, and I am making a blue star quilt for the youngster. Betwixt the good wishing and the working to keep the bad off, this girl can't help but get better! NightMist -- I'm a little teapot, short and stout here is my handle, here is my...other...handle? Bloody Hell!! I'm a sugar bowl! |

And all that positive energy cannot help but improve things! Could you tell me about the bottle tree? That sounds intriguing... Sure. Bad spirits and suchlike are facinated by shiny things, compelled (as in obsessive compulsive disorder) to follow mazes or figure out patterns, and count things. So circles and spheres can keep them going nigh unto forever. A bottle tree is aught but a tree or shrub that has bottles thrust into and about the branches. Some people go to the trouble of hanging them like christmas tree ornaments, some don't. A bottle tree will catch bad spirits out in your yard before they get anywhere near your house. They will follow the circle and get caught in the bottle. The color blue is magic against all things evil. That is why some folk paint their doors blue and suchlike. I myself have a blue glass fisher float in my window and wear an ancient turquoise bead around my neck. So blue bottles are favored. Milk of Magnesia used to come in cobalt blue glass bottles, and those were a favorite for bottle trees for years. Now days I have known people to fill clear bottles with water colored with indigo (indigo has magic all its own) to get blue spirit catching bottles, though the color doesn't come well unless you fuss(1). One of my aunts filled a bunch of fancy Avon bottles with colored water of all kinds and tucked them about in a shrub. That was a bottle tree that caught people as well as any badness floatng about! (G) And finally, yes pieced quilts are a magic of that order. Particularly endless patterns, patterns with circles or spirals, scrappy, and crazy quilts. NightMist (1) natural indigo prepped for dye needs to be exposed to oxygen before you get a good blue out of it. So you get a rather weak blue, sometimes even green, while it is still fluid. -- I'm a little teapot, short and stout here is my handle, here is my...other...handle? Bloody Hell!! I'm a sugar bowl! |

Glad to hear. Hopefully the eclipse will be in good aspect for
her. That would be a big help. I don't know or get into the stuff you mention but whatever 'floats your boat' and improves her health is ok with me. Nothing scarier than a sick child. Hugs to her and the family. Taria NightMist wrote: Courtney is improved amazingly.

Interesting! I wonder if this has anything to do with the Bavarian custom of
"rose balls". Nearly every garden in the region has at least one shiny glass ball, looks like a Christmas ornament on steroids, stuck on a pole amid the plants. And every person I ask gives me a different explanation for the origin of the custom or why they think they need them. Trying to blend in -I have a large violet ball, an emerald green frog, and a blue pottery bird. Roberta in D "NightMist" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...
