New World Witchery, Episode 49

I was very pleased to have my Sippschaft sister and brother pass the link to Episode 49 of New World Witchery from 2012. This is an excellent episode, if for no other reason than the presence of the chants, a couple of which I know with some differences in the lyrics and form of Deitsch or German.

By the way, the word "Braucherei" is often pronounced in this episode as "BROW-chair-eye." This is due to the differences in phonological differences between Deitsch and English. The correct pronunciation of the word is "BROW-khe-RYE" with a primary stress on BROW  and a secondary stress on RYE. The "khe" is a phoneme that does not exist in most English dialects (it does in parts of Scotland, at least). This is the hissing sound that sounds like you're trying to clear your throat. You can hear it during the Urglaawe portion of this episode.

My apologies for the quality of my voice during the interview. I was actually coming off of a bit of a cold and had actually lost my voice earlier that day. :)

Many thanks to Cody and those who work on New World Witchery for this wonderful and balanced  piece of work.

Incantations for Stolen Property or Oppression

Below are two sympathetic incantations and charms for dealing with legal oppression or theft.

The Salz/Salt and Bau/Earth incantations are sympathetic.

The rightful owner should take a handful of salt, rub it gently in his/her hands. Place the salt on a table. The owner may then separate pieces off from it while saying the first three paragraphs. No one else must do this because the later paragraphs would deem anyone else touching it to be a thief. It is not possible for one to steal from oneself, so the rightful owner must be the one to say this. If multiple owners or stakeholders were to be involved, then the verbiage would need to be set in the plural.

After asking Ziu and Zisa to let the Salt to be taken back, the pile is then reassembled.

The same applies with the Earth (soil). These both represent property and ownership.

The runes may be chanted or drawn.

Braucherei Zunftsammlung

Two Braucherei workshops were held in conjunction with Central Pennsylvania HeathenCon in February 2013.

The first workshop was part of the HeathenCon programming on Saturday, February 23, and the second was arranged for Monday, February 25, in order to accommodate a few folks who were unable to make the first due to weather.

The theme of the workshops was Braucherei in the Urglaawe Context. The workshop included the following features:

• A Brief History of Braucherei


• Braucherei vs. Hexerei


• Urglaawe Rising


• Expansion of the Runes in Braucherei


• Discussion and Examples of Braucherei in Practice


• Questions and Answers

We hope to have more opportunities to engage the public in order to share some knowledge of the beautiful and spiritual practice of Braucherei.
