Potions have been a witch's tool since the beginning of time. Water is a great transmitter. It opens itself readily to infusing with herbs, and the spirits love to glide across it.

As harvest celebrations approach, and with them stress and anxiety, a good witch's potion is in order. This one is called Peace Water. It is simple to make on the surface, but for it to be effective, drawing on witchy skills is in order. The skills required are control of your thinking and the ability to transfer your special healing energies into the potion—no small task. With patience and willpower, the perfect Peace Water will be created today.

Gather your materials: an 8-ounce spray-top bottle, a tiny funnel, and 2.5 ounces each of orange flower water, lavender water, and rose water. If you do not have a bottle or funnel, you can use a stainless steel or Pyrex bowl. Use a stainless steel dipper or large spoon for stirring.

Clear your head before beginning to work. Deep breathing and silencing your devices is a must. Once you are calm and clearheaded, add the waters to the bowl, saying:
With this orange flower water,
I ask spirit for energy. Ashe!
With this lavender water, I ask
spirit for relaxing energy. Ashe!
With this rose water, I ask
spirit for strength. Ashe!
Stir gently. Use the water when you feel anxious, depressed, or tapped out. You can spritz it over and around your head or add small portions to your bathwater.
