Hyssop is a widely used herb for purification. Can be added to baths, an infusion made from it can be sprinkled onto a person to cleanse them. It can be hung in the home to clear evil & negativity.
In Catherine Yronwode's book "Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic" , she states that Hyssop is mentioned in Psalm 51 of the Bible as a spiritual purifying herb. "Purge me with hyssop; wash me and I shall be whiter than snow". Hyssop can be added to floor wash to clear off bad conditions. For personal cleansing Hyssop mixed with four theives vinegar and take a teaspoon a day reciting the 51st Psalm for a number of days resolves your problems. For a spiritual bath : Hyssop in olive oil is added to baths to kill jinxes and for relief from sin. She goes on to state to rub downward while standing between 2 white candles reciting the 51st Psalm, then carry the used bath water to a crossroads and throw it toward sunrise, "In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost". This bath is used to take off the effects of performing evil work on behalf of clients.

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.
