Irish Folk Magic: Curses

In Irish, the word for curse or evil spell is “Piseog” (Pee-show-g). It is usually a form of sympathetic magick, meaning the magickal use of an object or action to symbolically represent a person, event or place. Piseogs were often cast on May Eve (Bealtaine).
It was common to bury an egg in your targets garden. The egg represented the household. When the egg begins to rot, so too will the households wealth, health or fortune.
Placing raw meat (bacon or chicken for us modern folk, or traditionally a pig or chicken carcasses) was said to ruin your targets crop and cause misfortune. In turn however, the person who casts the piseog gains the wealth, fortune and a successful crop.
Wake up before sunrise on May morning and visit a spring well situated under an old oak tree and skim the top of the water with a saucer while chanting your targets name. This piseog prevents the targets milk from having cream and it will give you all their cream instead.
If you stand in front of your targets property while holding a long rope and swing it to and fro while saying “leath mo chuid ime-se agus lán do chuid ime-se" which meant "half of my butter and all of your butter” you will get all your targets butter.
**Butter, milk and cream can represent wealth or success in modern workings.
Note: Milk and butter was extremely valuable to the irish. It was the difference between life and death, wealth and poor. Irish witches were often called “Butter Witches” as many of their curses or actions within the christian era revolved around stealing milk and butter. The witches were also said to turn into a Hare as a disguise when stealing the goods. These piseogs can be cast with the intention of taking away wealth/ success from a person, using butter or milk symbolically to represent it.
Here’s some simple irish curses:
Fán fada ort
Long may you be astray
Léan ort
Sorrow betide you
Briseadh agus brú ort
Strife and stress upon you
Lagú cléibh ort
Weariness of heart upon you
Nár eirigh an lá leat
That you may not be successful on the day
Náire agus aithir chugat
That you may be shamed and disgraced
Go n-imi an droch aimsir leat
That the bad weather leaves with you

Dul go h-olc ort
Bad luck to you

🧡🧡🧡 𝙃𝘼𝙋𝙋𝙔 𝙈𝘼𝘽𝙊𝙉 my lovelies!!! 🧡🧡🧡

Tomorrow is Mabon, the pagan mid-harvest festival that coincides with the autumn equinox every year.
We celebrate the harmony of day and night, giving thanks for the summer’s bounty even as we prepare for the lean months of winter.

This is a time to reap what we’ve sown so far in the year and to get ready for the coming cold and dark. It’s a time to recognize where we have abundance in our lives,even if we may not feel very abundant right now and to reflect with gratitude on the gifts of the summer.

Try to take a walk, get in touch – physically – with nature to help balance your system. Pick some apples and bake a pie. Honor the darkness – maybe take a walk after the sunset, or meditate in a dark room. Have a glass of wine (never a bad idea) or make your own from Rosehip and Hawthorn.
Do whatever you need to do to find balance in your life ❤

shared this meme on their page( see second picture)
Free translation : "Hoverfly is an absolute a**hole , wears strings but can't do anything , useless dude" 😃😃
I know it is joke but I realize how many people actually think , this kind of insects are " 𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 " ? 🤷‍♀️

𝘿𝙞𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 ?

Hoverflies are important pollinators of flowering plants in many ecosystems worldwide.
Syrphid flies are frequent flower visitors to a wide range of wild plants, as well as agricultural crops, and are often considered the second-most important group of pollinators after wild bees.
If you spent more time in nature, you would agree, that cliché phrase "𝔼𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕪𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕚𝕤 𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕟𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕖𝕕 "
is 100% true

Have a nice day
