Here's a charm, or physick. It's part of my exploration of a source text. This part of the exploration uses the words/recipes of a (18 text to create charms, or physicks, for different, contemporary ailments.

The moths 'mean' words in the symbolism of the series. I haven't worked out quite yet from what source text all the F figures might need to be drawn from. The text that accompanied this is:

A charm 'to fortify the heart' for all poets & artists whose work was rejected last week, & for indie editors making tricky decisions.
May your weekends bring inspiration & your week be filled with ‘the best cinnamon, nutmegs, citron peel, galangal & sweet white wine’ ( part of the physiks is performative, to share the text externally)

(I also wonder if it might be a charm to get some other poet/artists working in the in-between spaces to post in this forum.)



I'd be interested to find out how the image lands, and in particular if you think that the charms might land better if I rework them to be metrical, a kind of rhymed couplet.
