With the common cold being, well, common, does anyone know of a Jewish blessing/prayer/magic to heal quickly? I feel like crap, ten times worse than this morning.

(I realize this will go against some people’s #Judaism).

my girlfriend, the amazing @comicsbyxan, got this book for me!!!

Jewish Magic and Superstition by Joshua Trachtenberg, first published in 1939, discusses Jewish folk practices of the eleventh through the sixteenth centuries. I'm SO EXCITED to read this!

@sheepchase in modern times, we have found that bathroom demons are attracted by things like excessive kombucha consumption, and can be chased by things like poo-pourri or high powered vent fans. This is good to add to the arse-enal though.

Important question from my partner: “Do cat toilets have demons?”

Just in case you encounter the demon in your bathroom today, some handy knowledge:

“To be saved from the demon of the bathroom, let him recite as follows: On the head of a lion and on the nose of a lioness we found the demon named bar Shirika Panda. With a bed of leeks I felled him, and with the jaw of the donkey I struck him.”
