Absent Healing

Absent Healing

Absent healing is a spiritual faith healing ceremony performed by practitioners of witchcraft and of other related belief systems. The ceremony can be performed collectively with a coven or alone, however the person to be healed is not present during the ceremony. According to Wiccan ethics such healing must not be performed without first obtaining the recipient's permission. [cite book
