There are actually two videos in this update! The first is the video above, which is all about the historical examples of healing magic that I considered when working to create the ritual I ended up making, and the second is the ritual itself!
Content Warning: There’s some description of genitals and sexual acts as warding methods on the ancient world. On the YouTube page, you can find a set of chapters, and you can skip all of that by just clicking on the third chapter when I say the words, “Genitalia and images of genitals are a common sympathetic warding as well.” It’s all discussed in context and shouldn’t shock most people, but it’s worth a note of warning.
This one took a lot longer to put together than the original healing working did. I ran into a versioning issue with my script document, and that led me to lose some of the material I’d written. Fortunately, I had all the sources, so it wasn’t a big deal.
I did get to have some fun looking up weird ways to ward people, places, and things. It was a great exercise, and I made my sigil in one sitting, so that was cool, too. I like the way the sigil came out, as well:
And you can see exactly how I made it in the video.
Transcripts are linked below, as is the full version of the protection sigil I created.
