How synchronistic!!! I just made a dēkērūnö aumoulētū (mirror amulet) last night. In my family's tradition, if a mirror breaks to avoid nībōhtīmös (misfortune) you turn it into a protection charm and hang it on doorways, windows, and beds. You keep it for seven years unless it falls apart or breaks first.
I have checked my german book, so i can only write it in german. For those interested in green witchcraft. August 15. The herbal bundle is Johanniskraut, Schafgarbe, tausendguldenkraut, Kamille, eisenkraut, wermut, baldrian, Pfefferminz and konigskerze. My friend informed me that Christianity had penetrated this tradition but still celebrated. Her child celebrates birthday at this time so she baked a red current cake which is Johannisbeere symbol of the sun.
