Faith & Magic Druids The Druids were the Celtic priest-class but it is still uncertain whether they originally developed within Celtic society, preceded it or arrived in these isles separately (a romantic theory places their origins in the lost island of Atlantis). The Druids however were not merely preachers but, like the Celtic Gods, they were respected for being able to perform a number of different functions and abilities. Bottle Spells and Spell Bottles A spell bottle is a bottle into which a magical spell has been cast in the form of physical items used to ensure that the spell results in the desired outcome. A bottle spell is a magical spell that is contained within a bottle, and which, when finished, is expected to work for the ends one desires. There are many types of bottle spells used in folk magic traditions from around the world. Almost every culture that uses bottles (or gourds, or animal horns) as containers also has developed ways to use those containers to hold works of magical spell craft. The painted bottle spells shown here were made in America from small medical bottles. Among the earliest spell bottles known are those called "Witch Bottles." In more recent times, the witch bottles of England and Anglo-America have been made from cobalt blue glass and they are often kept on a window sill "for pretty" as well as to keep away witches and the evil eye. When used on the altar, the bottle is filled with oil and sealed.

Primstav eller rimstav er en flat, stavformet kalender laget i trevirke. Opprinnelse og bruk[rediger | rediger kilde] Benevnelsen primstav har sammenheng med de latinske uttrykkene prima og primatia lunee, og det norrøne ordet prim. Primstaven stammer trolig fra den ennå eldre runekalenderen, som er kjent siden 1200-tallet, men godt kan være ennå eldre. Primstaven er typisk for Norge og Danmark. Utforming og merking[rediger | rediger kilde] Primstaven var gjerne et flatt og langstrakt stykke trevirke på 50-80 cm i lengde og 4-6 cm i bredde. På primstaven er dagene merket med en strek eller et hakk, og helligdager og merkedager er merket med spesielle tegn eller figurer. Merkedager på den norske primstaven[rediger | rediger kilde]
