GOTTA LOVE MYSELF POTION

- Pour into your favourite mug and add the milk,sugar and honey focusing on your intent

You can change the rose water to rose tea and milk for creamer or a milk substitute.
soothing scrub
this little scrub is great to use in the shower after work or after dealing with any other stressful event i.e meeting up with toxic family, running errands, etc! it helps soothe that hectic feeling and provides a healing and comforting energy
what you’ll need;
sugar
thyme
chamomile
optional;
rose quartz helps this process move along and charges up the spell perfectly if you have some on hand! i like to charge the scrub with it as i’m grinding everything up and/or hold it over my chest with the scrub sitting on it for a moment, but literally none of this is necessary i don’t even do it every time i just use it for a little kick when i need it
just mash everything up together neatly and methodically, meditate on the state of mind you’d like to work towards and how you’d like to feel. then take your scrub and work it clockwise over your heart and work those intentions in, after that just scrub all over and proceed how you normally would! i usually end up curling up in bed under a fluffy sheet right after this scrub, it always makes me feel so cozy and safe <3
self love potion
- ✨
this potion is great for invoking self love, healing, and calming; it allows you to become more patient and gentle with yourself, encouraging an environment of forgiveness and an inner sense of comfort.
you can pour some in a bath or use culinary grade ingredients and keep refrigerated to drink as a potion, you could keep a bottle by your nightstand, or gift a bottle to a friend/partner, and this would serve as a wonderful alter decor/offering for aphrodite or even fae, there’s plenty of ways to incorporate the potion into your craft!
-
[what you’ll need;]
-honey
communication, love, happiness, harmony, healing, abundance, forgiveness
-rose petals *
love, healing, relaxation, gentle thoughts and energies, confidence
- full moon water
power punch, intuition, mental clarity, comfort, healing
-pinch of sugar
wish granting, love, confidence, joy, turns negative self image sweet
-pinch of sea or pink salt[optional**]
love, calming, power punch, healing, regeneration, detoxification of negative energies or thought patterns
-
*for this potion pink or red rose petals would work best but i suppose you could use any! white is also a good option here
**if you don’t have sea/pink salt don’t worry about substituting it’s better to just leave it out at that point, its not for the salts protective qualities but for the calming & healing effect sea/pink salts have!
[now what?]
this one is super simple to put together, all you’ve gotta do is get everything in a pot and simmer it on crazy low heat (barely any action just enough to coerce the infusion together)
strain and bottle up! you alternately could brew it in a bottle on a windowsill perhaps but don’t leave it there too long it’ll go rancid! be careful!
-
as always feel free to ask any questions about the potion/process! i really love this potion and i hope you guys do too!
