Then stand with your back against the trunk and
visualize your sickness going into the tree.
Cord Magick
Cord or knot magick is another ancient practice. Use a
long piece of cord or yarn of natural fibers, if possible.
The cord should be green, blue, or white. Assemble
small feathers and leaves or twigs of appropriate healing
herbs. As you tie nine knots in the cord, chant:
Knot one, I tie the sickness tight. Knot two, I bind all mental woes.
Knot three, I tie up the sorrows and fears of my emotions. Knot four,
I bind all negative thoughts of others and myself Knot five, I tie all
pain and discomfort so it has no power over me. Knot six, I bind all
habits, thoughts, or tendencies that may have led to the illness. Knot
seven, I tie up healing power that I may draw upon whenever I have
need. Knot eight, I bind forgiveness to be freely given to all who
harmed me. Knot nine, I bind myself to Divine Spirit, that my mind,
body, and spirit may be healed and made whole again.As you tie each knot, insert a feather and a piece of
herb into it while you visualize binding up the illness.
The following list of feather colors will help you decide
which colors to use. The feathers can be found or
bought. When finished, either hang this cord up in the
patient's room, or from a tree branch outside.
BLACK absorbs all negatives.
BLACK AND WHITE Protection.
BLUE Peace and good health.
BROWN Health, stability, and grounding.
