Ariel Wishing Powder

Filed under: Aromatherapy, Recipes — Loki @ 7:31 am

Ariel Wishing Powder

Each of the herbs, essential oils and colors listed in these recipes were
chosen because they correspond to the elements of Air and Water as well as
possessing strong protective energies. Use these powders to enlist the aid
of the angel Ariel.

* Herbs:
* Lemongrass
* Yarrow
* Essential Oils:
* Eucalyptus
* Colors:
* Blue
* Gold
* White

All wishing powders consist of three main ingredients Dried Herbs,
Essential Oils, and colored Glitter or Confetti.

The glitter and confetti you choose to work with can be anything from tiny
silver stars to large purple hearts, large bottles of standard crafting
glitter to small pots of ultra-fine iridescent glittering powder, and even
colored wood shavings. I have found that when looking for ways to
incorporate color into your powders, there are literally hundreds of options
Try them all and find out what works best for you!

To create this powder, you will need to gather the following items:

* The herbs, Essential Oils, colors listed above
* A bowl for mixing (I recommend a plastic bowl with a lid since it is much
easier to shake a powder together than to stir)
* Any measuring cups or spoons you prefer to use
* A mortar and pestle to help break up large chunks of herbs

Once you have all your equipment ready, measure each ingredient into the
bowl. For your first few powders, I recommend using 1 Tablespoon of each
herb, 1 teaspoon of each glitter and / or confetti, and 1 drop of each
Essential Oil. You can easily customize your powders once you get the hang
of making them!

Next, cover your bowl tightly with its lid and shake vigorously until the
ingredients are well blended. To empower your magickal powder, visualize
what you would like the powder to accomplish money in your bank account,
your perfect soul mate, or the excited face of your best friend when you
present her with a special birthday wishing powder. Hold this image in your
mind at least until you have finished shaking. Ideally, you will be thinking
about this purpose throughout the whole creation process from gather
ingredients to packaging the finished powder to give your magick as much
energy as possible.

To package your finished powder, you may measure it into small plastic
zipper bags, pour them into small glass vials or plastic tubes, or even
store them in the bowl you used to create them. The possibilities are nearly
endless! Just remember to label the powder once you’ve packaged it and
include a list of ingredients and instructions for use.

Queen Of Hungary Water

Filed under: Aromatherapy, Herb Lore, Kitchen Witch, Recipes — Loki @ 10:07 am

Queen Of Hungary Water
This recipe was developed for the Queen of Hungary in 1370. It’s a wonderful astringent for those with normal, oily, or problem skin, and it’s especially good for people with itchy skin. It’s touted as the first herbal product to be produced and marketed.
It was used by the Gypsies for almost everything you can think of, from mouthwash to hair rinse to footbaths. This recipe is best made with fresh herbs.
5 tablespoons fresh lemon balm
4 tablespoons fresh roses
4 tablespoons fresh chamomile
3 tablespoons fresh calendula
3 tablespoons fresh comfrey
1 tablespoon fresh lemon peel
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
8-10 ounces of apple cider vinegar
Place all the fresh herbs in a 12-ounce (340gram) jar. Completely cover with vinegar. Cover the jar and let sit in a warm spot for 4 weeks, shaking occasionally. Strain the liquid. If desired, combine with floral water of your choice.

Insomnia Aromatherapy Blend

Insomnia Aromatherapy Blend

Ingredients:
10 drops Roman Chamomile
5 drops Clary Sage
5 drops Bergamot

Directions: Blend the oils well in a clean dark-colored glass bottle. Add
1-2 drops to a tissue and place inside your pillow to aid you in falling
asleep.

If you prefer to make a diffuser blend that you enjoy during the hour before

bedtime, make a blend with a ratio of 2 drops Roman Chamomile to 1 drop
Clary Sage to 1 drop Bergamot and add to your diffuser.

Lavender can also help provide relaxation and drowsiness, but using more
than 1-2 drops can have the opposite effect.
