Moon paste trad witchcraf

Spirit witch, that article segment you copied in is the exact one I kept being led to as well.

Oh! This might just be a side-note but one statement has me scratching my head in there. Particularly about the reference to saying/singing the chant 'widdershins'.

Widdershins means 'against the sun', the opposite of deosil or 'with the sun'. In movement, drawing, and dancing I can see how that applies as it means to do what you are doing in a counter-clockwise fashion. ...How does one speak or sing counter-clockwise? The best I can figure is that it is implying additional details without saying them. Perhaps hinting that the chants would be done to the corners, either repeated for each direction or with each direction having its own calling.

Also... I thought that when beginning, invoking, or otherwise setting things in motion the tradition was to go with the sun. And against the sun was to reverse, release, or end a process.

Heh, it seems there are a lot of puzzle pieces here and the trick might be in fitting them together.

Yes, I believe I quoted the article, but I forgot what the source was as I took notes in my Grimoire. You do have to remember that during this time period, cursing was as common as curing when it came to spells. So perhaps Windershin was used when the moon paste was being used for its baneful purposes as I believe you said earlier. The Segment mentioned it could used for "black and white magic" or some word wording like that, so perhaps it is in fact as you mentioned, different herbs for baneful and then different herbs for benevolent. Or perhaps when you pick them under a certain moon phase is when its a "baneful or benevolent effect" As to the whole how do you sing in windershin, I feel as though it just means , "chant curses (curse spells, not like actual curse words like foul language) But yeah, its not easy to figure out how this ritual would work, I'd love to have a break through on how to make moon paste, but I suppose if it was that easy then someone else would have already done it.

Definitely a fair statement. If the process was intuitive then we wouldn't be sitting here puzzling over it.

...Am I strange for almost being glad for the mystery? Having the answers would feel like spoiling the fun!

Definitely, Witchcraft is a magical practice build on invention
