Blood-stopping charm
Apr. 19th, 2026 08:11 pmI would like to pass along the teaching of this traditional Appalachian charm to stop bleeding. Tradition holds that a woman can only learn it from a man, and a man only from a woman. Since I learned it from JMG, I'm qualified to teach it to any man who wishes to learn it.
In order to stop bleeding using this method, one must recite the verse found in Ezekiel 16:6 three times, followed by the full name of the person (or animal) whose bleeding you wish to stop.

Commit the verse to memory (King James version follows):
And when I passed by thee and saw thee polluted in thine own blood,
I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live;
yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
(Recite three times, then say the name of person or animal).
