LUCKY CHARM

You will need:

Green and gold beads.

Gold string

A personal charm of some sort that can be threaded onto the string.

Cleansing material.

Cleanse your materials.

Take your string and feed your beads and charm onto it, close it in a loop if you wish to hang it somewhere.

If you don't desire to hang it, tie a knot big enough that the beads won't fall off.

Holding the personal charm, say,

"Lucky number [bead count], threaded on a string, tied all together, luck it will bring,"

5. Keep it near crystals to charge it.

RELAX SPELL

Need help relaxing? Don't fear, this is the ultimate spell for relaxation!

You will need:

a symbol of relaxation (e.g. an empty bottle of your favourite drink)

a purple candle

oil of lavender

cinnamon

oil of chamomile

cleansing material

candle holder

Cleanse all your material.

Dress your candle with lavender and chamomile oil and cinnamon. Light the candle in the holder.

Once the candle is somewhat melted, pour the wax over something that symbolises relaxation to you. Say,

"Relax and give the relaxation this [item] gave to me in the past back. make me relax,"

ANXIETY GO AWAY SORBET

For my Americans, it's summer! I understand that summer break is a time to get out and have fun, but anxiety can make that hard, which is why this Sorbet recipe is here to help!

You will need:

1 cup granulated sugar

2 cups water

1 tablespoon food-grade lavender flowers

1/2 vanilla bean

1/2 bunch of lemon balm

3/4 cup wine

saucepan

stovetop

cutting board

knife

Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Rinse lemon balm and pat dry with a paper towel.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water until sugar dissolves. Then add lavender, vanilla bean, and vanilla bean seeds and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.

Then allow cooling for 10-15 minutes, adding the lemon balm so it can steep.

Strain the liquid and add wine. Red or white works depending on personal preference.

Pour into container and place in freezer. When it reaches a semi-solid state, mix with a fork. Then when reaching a frozen-like state (it will not fully freeze due to the alcohol) put it in a food processor and refreeze it until it's time to serve. It should be frozen for at least six hours before serving.

Before taking the first bite say, "Anxiety frozen in sorbet, I eat my anxiety so it can't eat me!"

FRIEND FINDING SPELL

Hi! So maybe you've been feeling lonely, or maybe you're just wanting some luck finding friends in a new social setting. Luckily for you, this spell should work perfectly!

You will need:

A yellow candle (to represent friendship)

Sigil of friendship (there are plenty of guides to sigil making online)

Oil of lavender

Oil of chamomile

Oil of oregano

Moon water

Cleansing materials of your choice

Knife

Best done under the New Moon. If not a New Moon, do not use moon water for the dressing of the candle.

Cleanse your materials.

Take your knife and carve your sigil of friendship into your yellow candle. Dress with lavender, chamomile, oregano, and a couple of drops of moon water.

Burn the candle and say affirmations of friendship.

Once burnt, leave the stub. Bury when friendship is found.

SHIFTING TEDDY BEAR

So, shifters, do you tend to go to bed cuddling something? Well, I have good news! Today we're going to be making a shifting teddy bear.

You will need:

Teddy bear (can be found for $6-$12 on Amazon- USD as I assume mostly Americans will be viewing this)

Enough fabric for your herb choices (Purple works best, but any scrap fabric will do). I recommend x2 rectangles of the same size.

Sewing kit

Scissors

Your choice of:

Mugwort leaves

Lavender buds

Basil leaves

Green Sage

Jasmine

Eculyptas leaves

Your choice of cleansing material.

Amethyst chips

Cleanse all your materials!

Take your fabric and fold it in half, then stitch two sides up, leaving one side open. Stitch well, then through the hole at the top, put your herbs in.

On top of your herbs, add the amethyst chips. Then sew the final side shut.

Take your second section of fabric and fold it over the first pocket and sew it shut. This is to reduce the risk of any herbs spilling out.

Cut a slit big enough to fit your herb pouch in your teddy bear. You may need to remove some filling.

Sew your teddy bear back up, and you're done!

TAKE OF THE DAY Anyone can be a witch, it's the dedication that counts.

You're 10? Ignore the fact you shouldn't be on Tumblr- you can definitely be a witch! Don't let anything hold you back from YOUR craft. <3

SHIFTING ENHANCEMENT TEA

Fellow shifters, anyone? Personally, I have had some luck in shifting, but a tea booster would definitely get you into that target reality.

What you'll need:

Stovetop

Pot

4 cups water

1 dried blue lotus flower

4 tsp lavender buds

Small pinch of saffron threads (about 10)

1.5cm Ginger sliced in half

Put the water on to boil. Place ginger in while the water boils.

Once boiled, take off the heat and allow ginger, lavender, and blue lotus to steep for 15 minutes.

Strain into cup(s) with a metal strainer.

Add honey or sugar and repeat shifting affirmations while stirring clockwise to set the intention.

Drink up and enjoy!

GOOD SLEEP TEA

This tea is in a similar fashion to my protection tea. Can you tell I like tea? Like my previous recipe, you can remove some herbs, just remove a cup of water as well.

You will need:

Stovetop

pot

4 cups water

1/2 tablespoon lavander buds

1 sprig rosemary

1 sprig thyme

1 tsp dill seeds

sugar/honey to taste

Put the water in the pot to boil. Place rosemary inside while the water boils.

Once boiled, place thyme, dill seeds, and lavender buds inside. Allow steeping for 10 minutes.

Strain with a metal strainer into cup(s) and add sugar or honey. Stir clockwise and say,

"I sleep well with this tea sitting inside me, this tea will relax me and good sleep will find me, I'll see the dreams I desperately need in sleep, a sea,"

to set the intention. Be sure to stir clockwise.

4. Drink up!

PROTECTIVE TEA

Want a calming cup of tea, but also need to do a protection spell? Let's take out two birds with one stone.

Pick the herbs listed below based on personal preference, however, if you remove one, you also have to take away one cup of water.

You will need:

4 cups water

a stovetop

a pot

2 tsp fresh or dried lavander buds

2 tsp fresh or dried chamomile

5g fresh or dried mugwort leaves

1/2 tablespoon fresh or dried angelica root

sugar to taste

Boil your water. Place mugwort leaves and angelica root in as it's boiling.

Allow to boil, then once boiling take off heat. Steep chamomile and lavender buds in it for 10 minutes.

Use a mesh strainer to transfer into cup(s) and add sugar. Stir clockwise and say,

"I drink my tea and like these herbs, protection seeps into me. I set my intention and I say, protect me. Protect me. I set my intention and now this tea will protect me,"

make sure you're stirring clockwise to set the intention.

4. Drink up!

PET PROTECTION SPELL JAR

I recently heard from a friend that an area that was lacking in spells is pet protection, so this spell jar is specifically for you, Soph (and anyone else who may need it). All herbs are pet safe.

You will need:

a jar of an appropriate size.

obsidian chips

sage (DO NOT use white sage unless you are Native American.) oil/herb

parsley oil/herb

dill oil/herb

rosemary oil/herb

some DNA from your pet (shed hair or skin, do not harm the pet for this under any circumstances.)

Cleansing materials - if incense, pet safe incense.

Black or white candle.

At least one of the protective herbs must be in herb form. The rest can be oil.

Take your materials and be sure to cleanse them. Light the candle.

Take a herb form of one of the protective herbs and place it on the bottom of your jar. Make sure all herb forms of the herbs are on the bottom.

Place the ETHICALLY SOURCED DNA from your pet on the herbs to represent the pet being laid in a bed of safety.

Place the obsidian on top of the DNA to represent the pet being surrounded in protection. Place the oils, if any are used, atop of the crystals to represent extra protection surrounding your pet.

Seal the jar and put the wax atop. Place somewhere safe and slightly significant to your pet, but with no risk of them breaking it.

GAMING LUCK SPELL
