Ch 16 -A Healing Spell
Sidi wondered if the compass was cursed. Ever since it took up residence in her rooms she'd been feeling very agitated. She held the simple black box in her hand and traced the gold trim with her finger. Silly she thought. How a thing looked had nothing to do with it being cursed.
She wished her parents were still in the woods. They would be able to help her. A wave of homesickness flooded over her. She wished she had paid more attention to the stories they told throughout her childhood. She hated the nagging uneasy feeling she couldn't shake. Someone was calling out to her. What if it was a ghost from the box? What if it was worse?
She burned an incense Gum mastic,Juniper, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Cinnamon, musk..Amberris. She sighed. She probably should have used the divination incense but she hated the smell. That's all I would need a curse and a headache. Stop it she scolded herself.. Clear mind - No thoughts. She used a small incantation to help her focus.
"Clear of sight. Clear of mind I bid you now my answer find. I want to know who is calling me."
Sidi sat silent before the crystal, her mind emptying. Her gaze was steady her mind open. A green mist appeared followed by a yellow swirling vapor they swirled and mixed like scarves in a veil dance until they became one. Vague images presented themselves to her one in particular growing more clear than the others. She wrote them all in her journal. She saw herself standing in a dark cold dirty cellar. She pulled her cloak around her shoulders and winced as the pin on her shoulder pricked her hand and brought forth blood. Sidi looked about the room and saw Jonathan cowering on the dirt covered in a blanket. The rats in the dirt fled as a pretty young woman unlocked the door and entered the cellar. She held a lamp as she walked over to the man on the floor. The lamp flickered as she sat it down and she pulled the blanket from him. The woman looked up through the crystal to Sidi and speaking directly to her in a thick Jamaican accent said "Be quick girl." The image faded into the dance of green and yellow scarves that had became one.
Sidi raked her fingers through her hair. Why did she do this? She wiped the tears leaking from her eyes. Who was this woman? The woman spoke to her. What was she? She was magic for sure. Green, yellow, lamp, dirt. Jonathan was sick. Why? What happened? The cellar, soiled blanket, the rats. Broken trust. He betrayed her. She sat on her bed numb. Who was this woman? "Be quick girl." Sidi didn't feel like being quick. How could he do this to her? Why did he do this to her? What did she do wrong? No. She wasn't going to be quick at all. She laid on her bed and cried herself to sleep.
She walked through the grass the light blue sky was clear. In the distance a woman in pink stood. Sidi got closer and saw it was the woman from the crystal. Anna Maria. As she had expected the grass in which Anna Maria stood was withered and brown. The two women looked at each other. Sidi fought hard to repress the emotion that again controlled her.
"Leave me alone" she pleaded.
Anna Maria held out her hand
'You can't let him die girl" she said softly, her eyes warm and kind. Sidi stood numb. She didn't know what she wanted to do. "He'll die Sidi" Anna Maria's voice was calming. Sidi took her hand and crossed into the withered grass. Anna Maria kissed her on the cheek and presented her with a bouquet of Rowan twigs and Oak leaves. She woke and wrote the dream in her journal then reflected on the meaning.
She lit an incense of Juniper berries and Rosemary and wondered if there were an impotence incense for rogue husbands. She scolded herself again. It wasn't easy or quick but eventually she emptied her mind as she filled the small bag with barley.
"I want Jonathan to be well."
Three times she twisted a braided hemp cord around the bag. Three times she knotted it She repeated the process twice more.
"Three times three I set ye free I command this thing to exit thee."
Everything in her demanded success and it was done."
Next- Perhaps you should have considered dying.
