Find!
Not too impressive this time, but interesting nonetheless. A small collection of various household magics used here and there in the first half of the fourth century. Of course, we do not provide verbatim descriptions and instructions (we know you, yeah), but we will briefly show some of the most interesting ones.
- Spell on toads
Originally from northern Eryakhshar. The fact is that there are a lot of bodies of water there - and, accordingly, midges. It seems that even all sorts of natural repellents didn’t help much, so... toads.
"...one of the guardians is supposed to go around all the lakes and swamps near his village at the very beginning of spring. He enters each of them up to his waist, having previously drawn the following Azur signs on the water surface: ...
His thoughts should be turned to life playing around him, because it is at this time that toads spawn...»
- For different tastes of alcohol
These were used mainly by the Glinnarians and, again, by the Eryakhshar Dzherarts. It is to them that we owe, for example, the existence of such a drink as saerwine - a type of semi-sweet wine, which, however, is almost devoid of taste. It looks and drinks almost like ordinary water, which by the end of the bottle can... play a bad joke, let's say.
Its Eryakhshar analogues have an even more pleasant and subtle taste, but also a higher degree: somewhere around thirty to forty, almost like vodka. And the hangover from them... is not the most pleasant. My head is VERY dizzy.
We don’t give specific quotes, because it all involves reading certain spells at different periods of the drink’s ripening. Gearts also do this during distillation.
- For goat's milk
Can you guess whose it is? Kharassukhumi doors. Even after they went deep into caves and mountains, goat raising was still one of their first and most important activities.
"... let the priest, or better yet two - husband and wife - go around all the goats of each herd every month. While one of them is holding the goat for the horn, the second touches the udder with his lips and, turning his external and internal gaze to it, says this: ...
This way the milk in the udder will remain longer and will hardly stagnate.".
Have delicious milk everyone and see you in touch!
