Making A Gypsy Medicine Bag

mojo_rootwork

A Parik-til is the Gypsy version of a medicine or mojo bag. To create a parik-til, a small drawstring pouch is made in the appropriate color for the intended purpose. Into this goes various little objects: herbs, stones, feathers, sometimes a charm or piece of paper inscribed with a simple spell. This list is endless; it is only important that the objects seem sympathetic to your purpose.

Collect leaves and twigs of the oak tree, including a small acorn if available, the petals and/or seeds of the sunflower, a piece of cinnamon stick, three cloves, a stone that feels lucky for you, a horseshoe charm if you can find one – or a small picture or hand drawn symbol to represent a horse shoe, and a little trinket such as a bit of jewelry or a coin.

Feel free to add anything else that seems relevant, or meaningful to you. Tie the oak leaves and twigs with a bit of green yellow and orange thread. Put all the items into a drawstring bag. Perfume with an essential oil such as Myrrh, Benzoin, Cinnamon, or Patchouli, or dab with prosperity oil.

Hold the bag in your hands and feel the energy contained within. Parik-til means blessing holder, the objects inside the bag are symbols of the blessings you are holding. Take a few minutes to allow yourself to really feel it.

If you have never made a simple drawstring bag, they are super easy, and you can find hundreds of tutorials online, or you can check out my less than artistic rendition of how to make a drawstring pouch in about 5 minutes using a handkerchief, a ribbon, and a needle and thread.

  • Holy Moly! It’s a full moon!!

    Well, I dropped the ball on this one. Came home yesterday morning (I work nights) took care of the dogs, checked my email, went to bed.. and didn’t wake up until the next morning.. oops! A whole day – just gone. So today I will be collecting oak leaves and twigs and doing my magick shopping for the rest of the month.

    I am hoping Saskia will have her phone on today, and can log on. She has lots of interesting stuff to share. The Gypsy Magic seems to be working good for her.

    As for me, I have so far gotten almost everything I originally asked for. My bills are paid and I have extra in the bank, I got my printer, and I am feeling good about money… The only thing left is good christmas presents for my family and friends.
