Peace Potpourri

Potpourri is an excellent form of spell for peace: it is quiet and always present, just as we often wish peace to be.

Timing:  Monday; Friday; moon in the second quarter; midday; hour of the Moon; hour of Venus; or your personal power time

Supplies:

Choose between three and nine herbs and flowers with the corresponding magickal properties of peace. Suggestions: lavender, rose, myrtle, chamomile, jasmine, violet

1 teaspoon orris root powder

Bowl, dish, or jar

3 drops or essential oil (optional)

Steps:

  1. Empower each of the herbs and flowers for peace and tranquility.

  2. Place them in the bowl and mix the herbs gently with your fingers, visualizing your goal.

  3. To fix the scent and help preserve the potpourri, stir in a teaspoon of orris root powder. You may add a few drops of oil to enhance the scent, but do so carefully and blend well. If your potpourri is too damp, it will grow mold and mildew, and that not the king of green energy you’re looking for at all!

  4. Place the potpourri in a pretty jar or bowl and set it in a place where it will work its magick. Potpourri eventually loses its power due to a combination of releasing its energy and absorbing the ambient negative energy that encounters it. When the energy of the potpourri has faded or the goal you set for spell has been achieved, bury the mixture outdoors or add it to your compost heap.
