Color of the day: Black Incense of the day: Carnation Incense of the day: Carnation Those vulnerable to mental strain due to massive workloads, emotional issues, and family demands will find this spell useful. It also helps take away the blues and other anxiety, and it dissipates mental lethargy. Ingredients required are one ounce each of rosemary, fennel seed, and cardamom pods, and a quarter pint of vodka and of spring water. Crush the herbs with a mortar and pestle, then put them into a sterilized glass jar. Pour the vodka and spring water into the jar. Seal it and let it stand in a cool, dry cupboard for at least two weeks, shaking the jar every two days or so. After a fortnight, strain the concoction into a clean bottle, then label and refrigerate. It should keep for quite awhile if kept cool. This mixture can also be used in rituals for other health problems by mixing two teaspoonfuls of the liquid with water or orange juice and offering it to deities. If your ritual work is done outdoors on a sunny day, pour some on the ground in honor of the earth spirits. |
