Daily notebook from Duhok 2016

[Piling]

Find a spell to neuter both of them at distance.

[Anthea]

Sit on a floor holding one of your cats

With you have a small brush, a small white candle/night light/tea light (candle can only be used once) and small dish with tiny amount of olive oil in it

While thinking happy thoughts

Surround yourself and your cat with a circle of sea salt (or rock salt but NOT table salt)

Light the candle and concentrate on the flame for five minutes while stroking your cat

Take some olive oil and draw a circle on the cat’s head then speak these words:

All powers that be. I humbly, do ask of thee
That you keep (say the name of your cat) my beloved friend, safe from harm and pregnancy
Keep the male cats from her away, with only females she must play
And should she have desires to roam
Keep her safe and bring her home
To me she is so very dear
Keep her happy and keep her near
Give her complete contentment here

So Mote It be

(repeat 3 times)

Gently brush away the salt saying:

To the East, West, North and South my wish I spread

I send to you the my great desire through salt and wind in burning fire blow out candle

I will try to find an oil which will discourage male cats from wanting to get too close

[Piling]

I should try for this night I was awake by the cry of a cat and I think that the careless father is coming back.

[Piling]

This night, awake by a screaming sound. Pirouette brought a living vole in the aim to educate the kitty to kill : Cat's school is like ISIS school.

2 motives of regrets that the little one is a female :

1/ I would have kept him because it decrease the problem of fertility
2/ I could have called him DARCY … better than Fitzwilliam I think

NOT in your bedroom I hope

What are you going to call her?

I am still trying to find out what the oil was that my grandmother used to put on cats to keep the males away

I am going to a witches' meeting next week so I will ask the wicked witches there

[Piling]

of course in MY bedroom. She even wanted to kill the vole on MY bed.

Concerning the name, I might have found a family for the kitten. A student of the school has asked me some months ago if Pirouette has kittens, he would like one. Now he asked me again.

So we'll see in September : she'll be 3 months old it is the good time for being adopted.

Wild Carrot Seeds for Contraception

Hi all, this week I thought I'd post about one of my favorite and least known herbal allies as a woman, Wild Carrot. Also known as Queen Anne's Lace, the latin name for this plant is Daucus carota. Over the past 35 years, there has been a ressurgence of woman-centerd holistic health care. Many women are looking outside the realm of Western medicine to treat menstrual issues, fertility, pregnancy, birth, menopause, and many other issues. Three years ago I discovered that a few women in this field have been successfully using and prescribing Wild Carrot seed for birth control, I was thrilled! I was so tired of using barrier methods with my long-term partner, and forget about all the harmful side-effects of methods like the pill!

Robin Rose Bennet is the foremost proponent of using Wild Carrot seed as safe, effective contraception. More information on her experiences using this method can be found here. The long and short of it is this, using 2 dropperfulls of wild carrot seed tincture 3 times in the 12 to 24 hours after intercourse is the prescribed method for effective contraception. I have known other women who chew the seeds every day with good result, but for me the tincture is much easier to use.

So how does it work? Unlike hormonal birth control methods, Wild Carrot is thought to change the chemistry of the uterine lining, making it too "slippery" for a fertilized egg to implant. There is not any known scientific research on Wild Carrot as contraception, however, so the details of the specific mechanism are still somewhat unclear. What has surfaced in the last 10 to 15 years is a great deal of empirical evidence in the form of women who have had personal success using Wild Carrot as contraception. I myself, as well as a number of my herbalist-minded friends, have used Wild Carrot with success. Some of these women have gotten pregnant shortly after they stopped using Wild Carrot.

I am still trying to find out more about the effects the seeds have on cats

I am still looking into the use of wild carrot seeds - found this hope it helps:

Most people who don't want their pets to reproduce take them to the veterinarian to be fixed. This is a routine procedure, but like any surgery it carries risks. In addition, it can be costly. For this reason, some people may wonder about alternatives.
Wild Carrot Seeds

Wild carrot seeds have been used as a natural form of birth control by women since the 4th or 5th century. Many women have had success using this product without the risks and side effects of traditional birth control. Wild Pantry, a group that sells natural products, began selling wild carrot seed oil as a form of natural birth control for animals.

Dosage

The dosage of wild carrot seeds varies based on the cat's weight. The FDA does not allow sellers of these products to prescribe a dosage. It may take some trial and error to get the dosage right for your cat.

Effects

Wild carrot seed oil works like any other form of birth control. It is only slightly less effective than other forms. Getting your cat fixed is, of course, 100 percent effective; chemical birth control for cats is 99 percent effective; and wild carrot seeds are 98 percent effective. This effectiveness rating is based on a small informal study conducted on women by Robin Bennett. The small difference in effectiveness may not matter to you if you are certain that you want to use a natural form of birth control for your pet.

Side Effects

Side effects of wild carrot seeds in cats are not known. Women taking wild carrot seeds may experience gas or upset stomach, and it is possible that your cat will experience this as well. Women have also experienced Irregular periods, so your cat may have similar problems. Wild carrot seed oil has fewer side effects than whole seeds. For example, women taking whole seeds experienced vaginal dryness while those taking the oil did not.

Warning

You should talk to your veterinarian before giving your pet any type of supplement. Even though the product is natural, you may not know for sure how it will react with your pet's current medications or health conditions. If your pet has kidney or liver problems, it is especially important to talk to your veterinarian as wild carrot seeds have been shown to react negatively with these conditions in humans.

I wonder where I could find wild carrots seeds in Duhok.

I suggest one of your family buys them from Amazon and sends them to you

Is you little furry family alright

Some of my friends helped me with my gardening and one was BITTEN by a SNAKE - my friend recovered alright as UK snakes are not normally killers - but their bites can cause problems

The adder is the only venomous snake native to Britain. Adders have the most highly developed venom injecting mechanism of all snakes, but they are not aggressive animals.

Adders will only use their venom as a last means of defence, usually if caught or trodden on. No one has died from adder bite in Britain for over 20 years. With proper treatment, the worst effects are nausea and drowsiness, followed by severe swelling and bruising in the area of the bite. Most people who are bitten were handling the snake.

Treat adders with respect and leave them alone.

Adders are relatively common in areas of rough, open countryside and are often associated with woodland edge habitats.

They were defending themselves from our attempt at gardening - I love tame snakes but not Adders - I still prefer living in the countryside

When you look at the video below you will realise just how wild and overgrown my garden is to attract snakes

Perhaps I will catch it and have a snake as my familiar instead of a black cat

[Piling]

Snakes are very venomous in Kurdistan but they are rare in cities. Once I saw a big adder skin in the garden so I suppose they are around in a wild piece of land, next to the river.

But they are shy and don't enter in the house, not like scorpios.

The nursery is ok, devouring chicken and doing a big mess in my living-room when it is fun-hunt-and-play time.

BLESS glad your baby is enjoying herself

I keep being asked to work in North London (large Kurdish community there) but could never bring myself to work in London again - I much prefer the countryside

Though if I lived in a country where there are scorpios I would live and work in the top of a skyscraper and make do with a window box

Do scorpios ever go into your home?

I seem to remember asking you that before - forgive me if I did but it is past my bed time and now half asleep

[Piling]

No I never see scorpios here, but the place where I live is wet, green and a paradise for frogs. I know that there were many scorpios in Erbil, in the old houses around the Bazar.
