Hello, swappers. Here is a swap to share the creative and supportive energy of the swapbot community. You will be making up a slim packet of enchantment for your partner. For this swap you will use your imagination and become magical for a moment. We all have magic within us -- this is what lets us fly in our dreams, imagine good things, avoid bad things, know what our pets are feeling, and sense the mysteries of creation. You will have one partner and send her an envelope that (ideally) requires a minimum of postage. For USA swappers this would be a 41 cent stamp. Inside the envelope you will enclose THREE written things as described below, and an assortment of magical ephemera from your collection: lace, ribbon, clippings, cards, sparklies, labels, shapes, feathers, tiny charms, doo-dads, tokens, trinkets, papers, postage stamps, stickers, what-have-you. THREE WRITTEN THINGS
Here is the especially magic part of this swap: when your partner receives your packet and finds the sealed-up "riddance" among the rhyme, rune and all the other charming little goodies, they will destroy the bad thing for you. For example, in my house we heat with wood, so I will put the riddance I receive from my partner into the fire. You could put the thing through a shredder, bury it in the ground, feed it to a hyena in the zoo, compost it, grind it up in the garbage disposal or drop it off the top of a tall building. Whatever you do, honor your partner by not opening her "riddance," and by destroying it totally! Swapbot folks have extraordinary powers of generosity and care. Suspend your disbelief, participate in this swap, receive good blessings and cleanse your mind of something bad. I hope this silly swap will have some powers of good for all of us who participate. As always, hearts for extra special treats or exceptionally glorious rhymes & runes. |
