Blessed Bruja

[johanna_hypatia]

Tonight I was chatting with my friend Lior and she says the Hebrew for "Blessed Be" said by Israeli Pagans is היי ברוכה hayi b'rukhah. The first thing I noticed was the feminine word for 'blessed' in Hebrew, b'rukhah, is a homonym of the Spanish word for 'witch', brujaThen I remembered my Arabic translation of "blessed be" which is literally مباركة

I look forward to seeing that story.

I love what you share about language, and the kinds of things you notice and report ... all very interesting and often very helpful and broadening, or else synchronous ... there is so much priestesscraft in language...
