White clover (Trifolium repens). Native to Eurasia but introduced here (and lots of other places) as a pasture crop for livestock like cows and honeybees. The leaves are edible and taste like green beans. The flowers are sweeter. White clover doesn’t normally have the estrogenic effect that red clover and some other clovers have. . . . Medicinally, it is a safe and gentle antiparasitic that will aid the body in getting rid of tapeworms. They’re not much of an issue where i live now, but are in some places, and i’ve had occasion to use it for this purpose a few times. . . . In irish, clover is “seamair” and the diminutive “seamairóg” is where english gets the word “shamrock” . . . . #wildedibles #herbalmedicine #nature #plants #shamrock #seamair #clover #herbalism #primitiveskills #naturalliving #cestoda #parasites
this is a powerful ritual that focuses on everything that goes into self-love and self-acceptance; overcoming guilt, ridding yourself of harmful habits and thoughts, seeing your own beauty, having confidence and courage, and harnessing your inner magick. best done on a fullorwaxingmoon.
❀ a mirror on a stand, or one that can lean on furniture
before you begin your ritual, take some time for self-care that makes you feel good about yourself, your face and your body. put on some music you like, gently brush your hair, do your makeup (or gently wash your face and moisturize it, if you don’t wear makeup), wear comfortable clean clothes you feel cute and/or cozy in. if you want, anoint yourself with a fragrance or essential oil that makes you feel desirable, intoxicating, or alluring.
rest comfortably on the floor (with a pillow underneath you). ensure the mirror is in front of you and that you can see yourself in it. arrange the three candles so that the white and red candles are to either side of the mirror, and the pink candle is right in front, between you and your reflection.
light the white candle, whispering, “may you cleanse my mind and heart of self-negativity and sorrow.” light the red candle, whispering, “may your flame spark newfound self-passion.” light the pink candle, whispering, “may you inspire tender self-admiration and respect.”
look at yourself in the mirror. take a moment to really inspect your face and pinpoint the things you like about it; its smoothness, its hues, its shapes. after a moment of this, cup your hands together and hold them above the flames of the candles in the order you lit them, letting your hands grow warm. gently run your warmed hands over your forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and slowly gliding them down your neck.
re-warm your hands with each candle, and gently press them on the places on your body you tend to dislike. show yourself care and love with hands warmed by magick.
place the bowl in front of you, close to the pink candle. take the yarrow in your hands, whispering “may you grant me the power to love myself,” and place it in the bowl. take the cloves, whispering “may you bring me confidence and courage to overcome my harmful thoughts”, setting them in the bowl.
finally, take the bay leaf and pen and write out a wish that addresses something specific regarding self-love that you want to manifest; for example, “body acceptance”, “seeing inner beauty on the outside”, “emotional healing”, or some such thing. place it in the bowl.
let a little wax from each candle drip onto the herbs in your bowl, and leave the mirror and bowl where they are for three days and three nights. each morning and evening during this time, look into the mirror for a moment and think a kind thought about yourself. on the third night, dispose of the herbs and put the mirror away.
salt bowls, with some herb magick thrown in, are a potent method of ridding bad energy, harmful spirits or emotional hauntings from the home.
☾ the bowl
salt can damage porous materials like wood, so using a bowl made of glass, ceramic or metal is best. glass helps clarify and amplify magickal intention. ceramic embodies earth energy— robust, strong, and unwavering. metal of any type helps project magick to fill a space.
☾ the salt
regular table salt is a classic cleanser and protecter. other specialty salts can have additional magickal impact: sea salt, associated with the water element, relieves residual negative emotions, like sadness and anger. himalayan pink salt is associated with astral travel and can help dispel curses and hauntings. if you need some serious no-nonsense banishing, add powdered charcoal to any salt.
☾ banishing / cleansing herbs
basil, black peppercorns, cloves, cumin, fern, garlic, lemongrass, mullein, pine, st. john’s wort, thyme, yarrow
set your salt bowl in the center of your home for a day or two, until you feel that there is a discernible improvement of the home’s energy. repeat as needed.
a stovetop potpourri is a wonderful way to fill your house with whatever energy you choose. water naturally has cleansing properties, and its vapor can carry the scent (and magick!) and fill a space entirely. this is a recipe for a potpourri with warm spices and herbs to cleanse your space and cultivate positive energy within it. best done during a new or waning moon. you will need:
☾ a medium-sized metal pot
☾ three cups of water
☾ three cups of apple cider (good spirits, home magick, blessings)
☾ bay leaf (purification, blessing the home)
☾ elderflower (house blessing and clearing negativity)
☾ orange peel (blessing and sunlight energy)
☾ pine needles (new beginnings, purification)
☾ anise (instilling calm, happy energy in a space)
☾ ginger (good health, protection, optimism)
fill your pot with the water and apple cider. put all your ingredients in; other than the one bay leaf, add each item in proportion to how much you like the smell + how much of its particular magick you want in your potpourri.
set it on the stove on medium heat, and let it simmer for as long as you like, or until the water gets too low to simmer any longer. strain out the ingredients and bury them in the front or back yard, letting their magick rest on the foundation of your home. if you don’t have a yard, bury them in the soil of a houseplant.
i’ve made one post before about the financial complications i’m facing as a result of a large, grapefruit sized ovarian cyst that needs to be removed. my surgery is scheduled for april 16th, after which i will need to take 2 weeks off of work for recovery. neither one of my jobs offers paid sick time due to a legal loophole, so i am left with no supplemental income during my recovery.
i recently updated my shop with new items i’ve been working on, including grimoires, herbal booklets, and herbal ritual blends for as little as $3. every single item in my shop is under $10. if you are able to help in any way, i would appreciate it so much.
support a chronically ill witch who sells her art to compensate for time off needed to recover from surgery!!
in an effort to make green witchcraft and herbal magick more accessible, i have created small illustrated booklets explaining the basics of the folklore, magick, and rituals associated with a few essential witchcraft herbs: mugwort, yarrow, and st. john’s wort!
each book lists a summary of the historical use of the herb, as well as its legends and folktales. a recipe, spell and charm how-to are all included in the book, as well as a packet of the herb itself.
