Wind Chime Spell
For bringing good news to your door
Folklore claims various reasons for the use of wind chimes in and around the home. They are believed to ward off evil spirits, attract fairies, or give the wind a voice! In this spell, they are used to honor the
element of Air, which is the spirit of communication and the patron of messengers. This spell is particularly good for easing the flow of communication to and from your home, creating a tranquil atmosphere, and bringing good news to your door.
It uses the old wisdom that music and clatter alike drive away evil influences and attract good spirits. Because different noises provoke different reactions within each of us, you will need to find a set of
wind chimes that sound harmonious to you. The feathers used in this spell symbolize birds, which were depicted in ancient times as messengers of the gods.
Their appearance in temples and on statues was regarded as an omen of both good and bad fortune, and their flight patterns were studied in order to predict anything from the future of a newborn baby to the outcome of a battle.
This spell calls upon the powers of Athena, Goddess of communication. It is best cast on a waxing moon for positive energy flow, and on Wednesday, the day of Mercury, planet of communication.
What you will need:
One tablespoon of water
Three drops of lavender essential oil
One oil burner with a tea light (or votive) Matches or a lighter One
yellow candle, approximately 6 inches Three x 8 inch lengths of yellow
1/4 inch wide ribbon Three bird feathers, any color
One set of wind chimes (picture shows plain silver metal wind chimes)
What to do:
Add the lavender oil and water to the burner and light it. Light the yellow candle, saying aloud:
Athena, Goddess of communication
Empower and bless my spell
To bring good news to my door
With the swiftness of a bird in flight,
Good fortune to ensure.
Using a length of ribbon, tie the first of the bird feathers strongly onto any thread of the wind chime, chanting as you do so:
Happy news, find your way
To my home, from today.
Tie a second feather to another thread on the wind chime, chanting:
Bright music, sacred sound
Evil here, never found.
Tying a third feather to yet another thread on the wind chime, chant:
Lucky breeze, Happy din
Summon light to flow in.
Hang your enchanted wind chime on your porch, or over your front door, where any breeze or movement will stir it into action

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
