Cold and flu remedies
It was brought to my attention yesterday that I omitted a few viral components of the Irish approach to cold & flu management in my blog. Which is fair.
I really wanted that hot whiskey. And I got it, even if I ended up spilling half of it over myself (I sneezed. It was painful. I'm ok though).
Anyway, back to the other remedies for cold & flu.
This, along with some Lemsip (not pictured cos it's all the way in the kitchen & Al is refusing to get it just for a picture...) is the essential kit for curing cold & flu, imo.
Now look, there are loads of natural remedies and other medecines... but these are the ones, with the hot whiskeys, that I turn to, when in mid-cold.
Without the Vick's, I'd be struggling with breathing. Seriously, bowl of hot, almost-bur-not-quite boiling watwater, lump of Vicks in it, towel covering your head & the bowl... this will cure any blocked nose. And sure, the night time ritual of getting Vick's rubbed into your chest & back helps loosen up the chest.
Orange juice & water are for fluids. Tissue should be obvious. As should Benylin.
I'm also teaching a class in 2 hrs.. I'm almost certain no one will catch this thing over zoom, but sure, we'll find out, won't we?
Normal service will resume soon...

Short one. Kindling Brigid's Flame closes tonight. Modules go live tomorrow, 1 November, whether you're in or not. If you've been sitting on this since Monday, you know already. You don't need another six paragraphs from me to tell you what you've already decided. Self-taught: one-off payment or 3 payments. With coaching: one-off payment or 3 payments.

Right. Let's be blunt about who this is actually for. And who it isn't. If you want someone to hand you The Ritual - capital letters, one script, follow-it-exactly-or-you've-failed - Kindling Brigid's Flame isn't that course. I don't teach the One True Way. Never have. What I built is a structure flexible enough to bend around whatever's actually going on in your life, and that's a completely different thing. This is for you if: 🕯️ Ritual currently means "vague candle-lighting and hoping" and...
Six weeks ago I wrote about not knowing what a ritual even was. Since then we've covered opening and closing properly, what my body actually needs before ritual work, learning to feel things at all, where my own ritual structure genuinely comes from, and talking to the dead without people getting worried about you. That's the whole arc, more or less. Land, sea, sky, and everything underneath it. So now I want to tell you plainly what I've built out of all of it. If you're curious how a Buffy...
