Seasonal Blends

This simple and easy to make medicine bag is specifically for, and said to especially provide relief for seizure disorders. Here’s how to make it:

  • Gather Vervain when the sun and/or moon are in Aries.
  • Carry the botanical in a bag with a kernel of corn or a piece of grain, plus a one year old penny or other coin of trivial value.

goat's milk homemade soap bath bar

  • 1 cup grated unscented soap
  • ¼ cup hot water
  • 1 Tbsp. Apricot oil
  • 1 Tbsp. Angelica
  • ½ Tbsp. crushed Bay
  • ½ Tbsp. crushed Basil
  • 6 drops Myrrh oil

Place grated soap in a heat-proof non-metallic container and add the hot water and apricot oil. Leave until it is cool enough to handle, and then mix together with your hands. If the soap is floating on the water, add more soap. Leave to sit for 10 minutes, mixing occasionally, until the soap is soft and mushy.

Once the soap, water, and oil are blended completely, add the dry ingredients. Once the mixture is cool, then add the essential oils (essential oils evaporate quickly in heat). Enough essential oils should be added to overcome the original scent of the soap.

Blend thoroughly and then divide the soap mixture into four to six pieces. Squeeze the soaps, removing as much excess water as possible into the shape you desire, and tie in a cheesecloth. Hang in a warm, dry place until the soap is completely hard and dry.

Gather handfuls of fresh clean snow from the first snowfall of the season, or break off the first icicle you see. Place it in a clean glass bowl and let it melt. Add holly leaves and let this water sit overnight – exposed to northern moonbeams if possible. Wash your face with the water for enhanced youth and beauty.

prosperityoil2Dry Ingredients:

  • Dressed Pumpkin Seeds
  • Allspice
  • Nutmeg
  • Peppermint
  • Orange Peel

Essential Oils / Fragrance Oils:

  • Patchouli
  • Honeysuckle
  • Pumpkin

Fill an appropriately sized bottle with the dry ingredients. Add the fragrance oils. Then fill with Jojoba carrier oil. Wrap the bottle with copper wire to increase the charge. A small crystal can also be placed into the bottle.

I used Jojoba carrier because it is safe, natural, and has a 100-year shelf life. The recipe for Dressed Pumpkin Seeds can be found here: Dressed Pumpkin Seeds

You’ve carved all those great pumpkins!  Don’t throw away the seeds. They are great for attracting prosperity — you can use them in oils, around candles or in conjuring bags. Here’s how:

Gather the following ingredients to “dress” the seeds for baking or drying:

  • Cinnamon
  • Allspice
  • Nutmeg
  • Ground Cloves
  • 1 tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
  • if you know FOR SURE no one will eat the seeds by mistake — add cinquefoil

Next, coat seeds with the above listed formula.  Time to dry them!  There are two easy ways — in your oven or using a food dehydrator. Oven – bake at 150 degrees for 3 to 4 hours, turn them every 30 minutes to avoid scorching. Or you can use a food dehydrator at 115 degrees for 2 hours.

Once your dressed seeds are thoroughly dry, you are ready to make lots of great magickal projects!
