#sachet

In ancient China, there was a type of perfume that released fragrance through combustion. During the reign of the ①Tang Dynasty in the 7th century AD, the primitive gimbal structure (early gyroscopic device) was invented. It was applied to craft ②silver pomander sachets, preventing burning incense from spilling onto clothing.Similar structural designs were also adopted in some ③Chinese traditional palace lanterns.

There also was a woman I met before. We talked from time to time. She's a volunteer. I showed her the photos of my succulent composition I made with the little figures I got there before. She gave me this pouch (sachet) and told me it suited my Snow White-like outfit (I was wearing a light linen Bavarian dress) ☁️

She gave me a nice box with Sacré Cœur for the pin too 🤍

World Environment Day – From sachet to solution – Nsemkeka On a rainy June afternoon in Accra, 12-year-old Kwame and his little sister stand barefoot at the edge of a flooded street in Alajo, watching black water curl around sachet water packets, broken styrofoam bowls, and empty biscuit wrappers.

Witch Growth Challenge Day 12: Sleep Sachet

[image description: first image: a wooden table with on it a jar of salt, an incense stick, a celestite crystal, a silver sachet, a honey jar but with rose petals inside, a rosemary bundle and a bag of mint tea; second image: the silver sachet with the ingredients inside]

I've been wanting to do it for a bit and now I finally did it: a sachet to keep near my bed to help me fall asleep and sleep well.

This is also my first sachet! And a topic that's dear to me, because it took me a loooooong time to actually fix my sleeping schedule, so sleeping well and waking up early-ish is important for me.

What I used:

a sachet

salt (for protection)

rosemary (for protection, sleep and healing)

rose petals (for self love and anti anxiety)

mint tea (for healing and relax) note: I used mint tea because I don't have any mint around, but of course the properties are of mint!

incense to cleanse everything before (+a lighter to lit it)

celestite (for help falling asleep)

What I did:

I cleansed everything with the incense, then I took the sachet and put each ingredient inside, focusing (and actually saying aloud in my case!) on their property and their meaning.
