Order a copy of The Red Church by Chris L. Balardi. Also the movie produced by another friend off mine, Robert Phoenix, called Hex Hollow. They both came to the church that I was pastoring in Schuylkill County and answered many questions on Powwow. I remember, as a kid, my Nana would rub my skinned knees and say "Healy, Healy, Hingledrecht,,,,: minus the actual chicken poo called for in the ritual. :-)
When I was about 18 my dad told me about a man,named “little Korie peachey “ one day he went past a farmer known as hexing John, little Korie honked the horn on his car,as he went by. It scared Johns cows and they ran through the fence and John had a bad time getting them back in. John put a hex on Korie ‘s car horn and it never blew again. I thought it was a good story,but didn’t believe it. About 10 years later,I was talking to one of Little Korie’s nephews and asked him about it.his eyes got big and said that it was true. That little Korie replaced the horn and had it rewired , but it wasn’t till he got a new car till he had a horn that worked
Herbalist of PA dutch lineage here. Many of the herbal remedies in braucheri didn't necessarily come from the old world, they were learned (or stolen) from indigenous folks once our people settled as colonizers. Many plants like jewel weed are indigenous to Turtle Island (the US), and people had to learn how to use them once they arrived here. In fact, the name powwowing is word that's stolen (i.e. not given with permission) from indigenous ceremonies. That's why in my practice I do not refer to it as powwowing, and hope that we can discontinue that appropriation going forward.
My mom was taken to a braucher when she was little in the '50s. It might have worked if she had a simple kidney infection. But, since it was kidney disease, it did nothing to help and she still had to have one of them removed. Of course, 1950s medicine wasn't too far removed from sorcery, alchemy, and medieval torture, so pow wow was a viable option.
Is there anything in braucherie about putting a key in the Bible and wrapping it, asking it question to tell the future? Or is braucherie strictly about holistic medicines?
There are tons of things like you mention in Braucherei. I am not an expert on the subject and do not know if the specific example that you name is a common practice or not.
@@PADutch101 interesting. My grandfather was rumored to be Pennsylvanian Dutch. He was gone before I was born but I have friends and relatives tell me the odd things he would do and stuff he apparently knew. He tried to pass the knowledge to my dad but he refused. Thought it was black magic or something. But I’ve been told more than one a little girl was burned with scalding water. He put her on a table and started chanting. Was blowing smoke or something around there and I guess rhr burns went away. She was up and playing in minutes. He was also married to a Native American lady. Not sure if it came from there or the braucherie
I knew a practicioner of PowWow. He had been asked to take away a hex'd hurdy gurdy that a hexaria had spelled because it was played for his girl friend while dancing with a stranger. Bad luck would befall any who played it. Now this is a true story but hard to believe: I bought it from him as he was worried that more bad luck would come to him. He was a tobacco grower and his entire crop was destroyed by mozaic virus and the IRS came after him for taxes he did not pay on his destroyed crop! Shortly after I bought it my new Datsun 510 lost the front left wheel, the aXLE BROKE! I did not subscribe to the myth, just thought is was a coincidence. A local High School was doing the Scopes Monkey trial (play) and they wanted to borrow the hurdy gurdy.I let them use it. But after dress rehearsal a truck pulled up outside an d told them they all had to leave as they were going to work on the AC for the theater. The crew stole all the lighting equipment. I loaned it next to a small circus. They had a metal box made to protect it. The shop that made the box had a breakin and their small power tools were taken. The box went to an artists house to paint a circus motif. The artist had a burglar breakin and steal some things. Then it went on the road with the circus. The circus had the vehicle and the trailer stolen from a motel. The hurdy gurdy ended up no doubt with the thieves. Now I am a skeptical person, but far too many coincidences for me....
Brauche / Braucherei is German language but Dutch means it's from the Netherlands. So it seems it should be Deutch, from Deutchland = Germany ? Strange.
Traditions like braucherei never die out. They're in our blood +++
Exactly *+++*

I just found out that this is what I'm a decanted of and my mom was suppose to learn the ways but it stopped at her father sadly.
Kind of strange that Patrick didn’t recommend oats. A paste made from oats is the best remedy for poison ivy.
Reminds me of Brucho/ Brucha, Witch in Spanish. Thankyy so much . I'm curious when exactly this tradition started. Thanx
The practice dates back to pre-christian Europe!
@@PADutch101 Thank you! I’m glad someone else said it. Every time that I tell people that Braucherei is pre-Christian, I get attacked.

Read the interview that Hunter Yoder conducted with Don Yoder.
I'm not a powwower, but I do incorporate some of it into my spiritual practice.

Brauche / Braucherei is German language but Dutch means it's from the Netherlands.
So it seems it should be Deutch, from Deutchland = Germany ?
Strange.
English can't differentiate the difference between Dutch and Deutsch so they call us Pennsylvania Germans "Pa Dutch"
Deitsch is the word for German in their Middle German dialect. It sounds like "Dutch" to Americans, so that's probably why it got called Dutch.
If we're not calling on Jesus to heal us, then it's wrong and sinful.
