Hey barberwitch! I want to make a magick bag for a friend who recently underwent surgery and another for a friend who's recently lost a member of her family. Any suggestions as to what I should put in them?
That’s really kind of you to want to do that, and awesome that they’re willing to accept that gift. I’ll just post some of the stuff that comes to mind as possible ingredients in the bags.
First thing that comes to mind is amethyst, it’s a stone if healing and of overcoming grief. Would be good in both bags.
Surgery bag: herbs for preservation, healing and protectionRue(protection/healing), clove(vitality/preservation), rosemary(health/protection/recovery) aloe vera(healing/protection), mullein(immunity/health), plantain(healing/recovery), willow bark(pain/health)
Mourning bag: herbs for/of the dead, mourning, matters of the heart and healing.Parsley(funerary herb/remeberance), marigold (helping the deceased/memory), poppy (connection of living to dead), foxglove (healing the heart), forget me nots (remembrance), willow (emotional pain/time heals all wounds), elderflower/berry (healing and emotions), hawthorn (heart and healing), Rowan (protection and guidance)
It could go on and on, but I’ll stop here! Hope these gave you some inspiration
🦇Cheers, Barberwitch
