How do you deal with illness?
I usually deal with illness by staying in bed and sleeping in. Then maybe reading and maybe eating some kind of chicken soup. That is, when I don't have to go to work and when it's not too bad to keep me from work.
Does being sick hinder your magic work?
I'm not actually a witch, I'm a shamanic practitioner. But yes I would say that it hinders me. I can't really explain it, but I guess you could say that illness sort of gets in the way.
Do you employ magic to make yourself healthy again?
Not as often as I should. Remember I said before that I don't always do things that I know are good for me? this is one such case. Except that I often don't even think to. But when I do I usually call on Brighid to help me, and even if I don't feel better immediately it's comforting.
What about others? Do you work magic to heal other people?
Yes, I have. For three people that I can bring to mind. Two of them when I was still a practicing (though very inexperienced) witch before I discovered shamanic practices. The third one has been since. I didn't have miraculously results but I think I helped two of them. The third, my dad...I don't know. But he has post-polio syndrome and it would probably take an awful lot to make that go away.
