#kalinaluna

I use my huge 1.5 l jug for this tea, as I like to drink it throughout the day.

Ingredients:

Ginger (about as much to fit in your palm) - anti-inflammatory, high in antioxidants, treats nausea and I find it helps me with sore throat

Mint (handful of fresh leafs) - aids digestion, rich in nutrients, improves cold symptoms, helps clear nose, anti-inflammatory

Sage herbal tea (two to three teaspoons) - very high in nutrients and antioxidants, supports oral health, high contain of rosmarinic acid which is anti-inflammatory

Lemon (either one half squeezed or chopped in) - source of vitamin C, which ensures proper function of the immune system

Honey (two teaspoons) - rich in anti-oxidants, helps soothe sore throat and upper respiratory tract infections

Yarrow (about two teaspoons) - helps against fever, cold and nausea or even menstrual pains

Steps:

Chop or grate your fresh ginger (I find grating difficult, so I instead chop it to very thin circles) and throw it in the jug along with mint leafs

Add sage and yarrow to the jug, preferably in a tea strainer

Add in boiling water

After 15 minutes, remove sage and yarrow and let sit for 5-ish more minutes. Don’t remove the ginger and mint

Add lemon juice and honey - you don’t want to ruin the nutrients by scorching them

Stir and drink!

Since you’re letting the ginger and mint in, you can always add in more water and continue to drink it.

Stay healthy and blessed be,

What I did:

Lit up a white candle (to pour over the spell jar) and a yellow candle in a salt lamp (to purify, and to channel luck, success, memory, learning). I cleansed the jar using both flames.

Placed my tourmaline quartz necklace to form a protective circle and placed the jar inside. I also placed around four chosen crystals that I will use to charge the spell jar within the circle. I focused on my intention, my desired outcome of this spell.

I began pouring in my chosen ingredients into the jar, focusing on the purpose of each herb.

Once the spell jar was full, I used a fake green leather string around the jar cork and sealed the jar. I blew the white candle out and poured the wax over the jar. Once dry, I blew out the yellow candle too and held the jar over it for some time.

Chosen ingredients:

Verbena & lavender (I had them in the form of tea blend, so I used them from the teabag) - verbena to protect and to bring wisdom

Dried lavender buds - to calm me down

Mint - to aid memory and concentration

Cinnamon - to protect and bring luck and success 

Sage - to protect and bring luck

Rosemary - to protect, aid memory and inner strength

Dried ginger - to bring success

Bay leaf, crumbled and buried within the jar - to bring wisdom and aid success

Chosen crystals:

Blue chalcedony, West of the jar (water) - to aid memory

Citrine, South of the jar (fire) - to bring luck

Blessed be,
