Milly’s “The Flu Can F*ck Off” Brew
I’ve come down with the flu and this is what I’m drinking to help keep the symptoms at bay:
Add a tablespoon of honey to hot water, stir to dissolve (soothes sore throats).
Add 1/3 of a lemon’s juice, stir to combine (high in vitamins, boosts immune systems).
Take a small sprig of thyme and let it steep in the mug (known for ability to fight colds and flus).
You can witchy it up like I did by thanking the ingredients, asking a deity for their blessing or imbuing the brew with healing, strengthening intentions.
I recommend drinking hot and inhaling the steam to clear your airways. Stay healthy this change of seasons, lovelies!
[always do your own research regarding health benefits and allergens- your safety is most important]
Have a big day ahead of you at work or school? Fill a reusable water bottle with some sprigs of mint and sliced strawberries to infuse your water with luck and success.
Spells can be as simple as a certain look you give someone, to as complicated as blood-based and/or necromancy. It is a skill you build up just like any other. I found the easiest way for me to cast spells is to either make it consumable for the target, or to burn something to cast the energy off.
Simple burning spell:
- Gather dried herbs based on your intention, and possibly add a sigil into that.
- Get a candle, either white or the color corresponding with the intention
- Say or express the intention. This can be a simple sentence, gesture, poem, anything.
- Channel the energy and intention directly into the herbs/sigil/paper
- When you’re ready, use the candle to burn the herbs/paper/sigil and visualize the energy flowing into the world and doing your bidding.
Tea Spells:
- Gather edible herbs that correspond with your intention and create a tea with them
- infuse the tea water with energy and intention
- drink, or have your target drink.
Potions:
There are many different ways to make potions. Here are 2:
Potion 1:
- Boil water
- Place edible herbs into the water
- place stones/crystals that are NOT water soluble into the water
- stir counter clockwise, infusing intention and energy as you go
- light a candle by it
- strain into bottle
- drink or have your target drink
Potion 2:
- take flowers, plants etc that are not dry, that are edible and stuff them into a bottle or jar
- fill the rest up with vodka or
- let it sit for a couple of days (2-5 or however long you see fit)
- once it seems like enough time, strain it and put it back in the bottle, and seal.
- add to drinks, drink it from the bottle, etc. etc.
