A simple spell sachet to promote deep, restorative sleep and protect from bad dreams. I used components and ingredients I had on hand- a bag a crystal was shipped in, herbs from my kitchen, and, because I only have black and white candles, a colored candle holder. As always, substitute any and everything to suit your own craft and needs.

Components

Candles

Black candle (night, protection, safety)

Blue holder (harmony, healing, tranquility)

Crystals

Amethyst (calm, fear, sleep)

Clear Quartz (amplifies the power of the spell)

Optional: Crystals to charge the sachet (I used quartz, black tourmaline-included quartz, and amethyst)

Herbs

Basil (protection, tranquility)

Dill (protection, defense)

Lavender (peace, protection, purification, sleep)

Parsley (protection, purification)

Thyme (healing, purification, sleep)

Essential Oils

Optional: Bergamot (anxiety, stress, fear)

Misc. Supplies

Small fabric bag or jar (I used a purple satin bag)

Optional: A jar or small container to mix your herbs in

How to Cast the Spell

I suggest casting this spell at night, somewhere you feel cozy and safe. I chose on the hearth of my fireplace. As you interact with and add the various components in this spell, take time to understand why you are using it and appreciate what it brings to the spell. Follow and trust your intuition when it comes to the ratio of the various ingredients.

Calm and focus yourself, then light your candle.

Placing your mixing container (or jar) in the center of your workspace/altar. Optionally, surround it with the crystals you wish to charge the spell with.

Add your herbs to your container, the amethyst and quartz crystals, and, optionally, a few drops of your essential oils.

Mix the components together, however you see fit. I put the lid on the jar and shook it, to really combine the herbs and allow the crystals to be charged by the sound of them hitting the sides of the jar.

 Tie your bag shut (or seal your jar). This is an excellent opportunity to practice some knot magic when tying the bag shut. If using a jar, you can seal it with wax.

Optionally, charge your sachet/jar with your crystals. I laid my bag atop an amethyst cluster, with my favorite black tourmaline-included quartz point on top. Small quartz crystals created a line to the candle.

Focus your intent into the sachet/jar. You can chant, meditate, practice visualization, whatever you wish.

Once charged, place your sachet/jar somewhere in your bedroom, near your bed. Before you sleep each night, hold and smell the sachet.

Here's a spell for a clarifying sleep! I thought of sharing this since it's become sort of my nightly routine ever since. Not to mention how I fell asleep during the making of this so yeah really effective.

What you'll need:

✨ Sigil (to be drawn onto your skin using either your night moisturizer or even just tracing it onto you skin with your finger.)

✨ Calming sounds (optional)

✨A glass of water

✨Comfortable sleeping space

To begin, trace the sigil onto your skin, keep in mind your intent.

Next, take a sip of the water and think of it as cleansing your body. With the rest of the water, cleanse your space by focusing the negative energy onto it. You can throw away the water or save it to use for charging crystals or plants.

Lay down, place a hand on your chest or temple (depending on where you feel needs more clarity, emotion or mind).

Chant the following, imagine the energy enlighten you and ease your mind as you do:

✨ "Light of lady night embrace my weary form."

✨ "Moonlight glow let your silver envelope me."

✨ "Darkness hold back my demons and allow sunlight to fade it with you."

✨ "Inner self, keep mind and heart in balance as I slumber."

✨ "Spirit, reconnect with your purest form."

✨ "Sandman hold my thoughts tonight and leave me be with dreams."

✨ "Rest, allow me to be freed of all my earthly weights."

✨ "Keep my soul awake, let spirit soar."

A spell to bring you a deep, refreshing sleep.

You will Need:

Moonstone Gem Elixir (safely made see below)

Chamomile Tea

Moon Water (see below)

(Optional) Almond Milk

Preparation:

Moon Water: Take a jar of water and leave in the window over night to charge with the energy of the moon. You may do this no matter the weather outside.

Moonstone Gem Elixir: You cannot make direct gem elixir using moonstone. Moon stone is toxic containing aluminum and it also loses its luster when submerged in water. You will have to make indirect gem elixir. To do this take your moon water you made above and keep it in its jar. Place a piece of moonstone atop the lid of the jar and away from any water. Leave it in the window. You may do this simultaneously with making the moon water.

Steps:

Take your indirectly made Moonstone Gem Elixir and boil it or heat it in any way that you usually prepare tea.

Add your chamomile tea and make it as you normally do. Pour a small amount of your almond milk (if you choose) to further promote sleep.

Stir the tea clockwise chanting “Bring me rest, bring me sleep” until satisfied.

Sit in a quiet space and drink your tea. If you choose listen to relaxing music. Once you finish your tea go immediately to sleep.
