Healing purposes.

I'd like to share this to you all, for may need it. So please follow the instructions carefully if you make this. It's not my fault if you screw up and waste herbs and/or make a mess.

Items needed:

Mugwort
Plaintain (waybroad) open from the east
Lamb's Cress
Attorlathe
Maythe
Nettle
Crabapple
Chervil
Fennel
Old soap (solid)

The Preparation:

Sing or Galdr the charm below on EVERY herb and the apple THREE times before mixing. Galdr the same charm on the wound three times before applying this salve.

Work the herbs in a dust. Crush the crabapple and obtain just the juice. Then mix the dust with the juice and old soap. Work them in a paste. Take fennel and boil it in the paste and beat with the herbal mixture.

The Charm Galdr:

These nine go against nine poisons.
A worm came crawling, he wounded nothing.
Then Wodan took nine glory-twigs.
Smote then the adder that it flew apart into nine [parts] .
There apple and poison brought it about
that she never would dwell in the house.
Chervil and Fennel, very mighty two,
these herbs he created, the wise Lord
holy in Asgard when He hung;
He established and sent them into the seven worlds,
to the poor and the rich, for all a remedy.
She stands against pain, she assaults poison,
who has power against three and against thirty,
against enemy's hand and against great terror
against the bewitching of little vile wights.
Now these nine herbs have power against nine,
against nine poisons and against nine flying venoms:
Against the red poison, against the foul poison,
against the white poison, against the purple poison,
against the yellow poison, against the green poison,
against the dark poison, against the blue poison,
against the brown poison, against the crimson poison.

Against worm-blister, against water-blister,
against thorn-blister, against thistle-blister,
against ice-blister, against poison-blister.
If any poison flying from the east,
or any from the north . . . come
or any from the west over humanity.
Odin stood over the old ones, the malignant ones.
I alone know running streams
and the nine adders now they behold.
All weeds must now give way to herbs
the seas slip apart, all salt water,
when I this poison blow from you.
