Insomnia Bath

Insomnia Bath

 
This bath provides the soothing equivalent of milk and cookies before bedtime. Its power is proportionate to the quantity of milk used.
 
1. Gently warm goats’ or ideally sheep’s milk as in counting sheep.
 
2. Blend true almond extract and several drops of essential oil of lavender into the warm milk so that the fragrance pleases you.
 
3. Add to a tub filled with warm water before bedtime.

Vinegar Cleanser

Vinegar Cleanser

 
Plain vinegar is cheap, easily obtainable and among the strongest cleansing agents of all:
 
1. Place a cup or bowl of vinegar in every room that need cleansing.
 
2. Replace weekly.
 
For intensified cleansing, add a square of camphor to the vinegar. To improve the fragrance, add a few drops of essential oil of frankincense, rose or sandalwood or blend with Florida Water.

Psychic Replenishment Bath

Psychic Replenishment Bath

 
This bath utilizes the following herbs:
 
Rosemary
Melissa (Lemon Balm)
Spearmint
 
These may be used in varying forms:
 
Make infusions of dried or fresh herbs and add to the bath.
 
Add essential oils to the bath.
 
Use a combination of fresh herbs and essential oils: although all are common garden plants, Melissa (lemon balm) is a notoriously rare and expensive essential oil.

Yarrow Potions

Yarrow Potions

 
Yarrow is a safer herb than either wormwood or mugwort, although the essential oil should be avoided by pregnant women and by those prone to seizure disorders.
 
Moderate quantities serve as magickal potions to enhance and stimulate psychic ability.
 
Make an infusion from the dried herb, as a tea or to add to the bath.
 
Yarrow hydrosol serves as a magickal elixir. It may also be added to the bath.
 
Yarrow flower remedy is particularly beneficial if your expanding psychic skills are new: its protective qualities are fast and potent. Add a few drops to the herbal infusion.
 
Yarrow flower remedy may also be applied topically. Add it to the bath. Massage it into your feet before bedtime.

Daily Feng Shui Tip for November 22

At a time of year when the tune ‘Over the River and Through the Woods to Grandmother’s House We Go’ runs through everyone’s head as they scramble off to distant destinations, today’s ‘Go For A Ride Day’ energies couldn’t be more apropos. So let’s address an automobile agenda before stuffing that last piece of luggage into an already overcrowded trunk, and look at ways of making driving a far more pleasant experience than you might think. First, never leave clutter in the car. Treat this traveling space as you would your own home, and realize that clutter in the car contributes to chaos on the road. It’s essential that the center of the vehicle remain clean and clear, as this space relates to the health of driver and passengers, reason enough to pull over the minivan and pull out the Mini-Vac! These next middle-of-the-car energies will bring your driving the middle of the road to a smooth and flowing agenda. Add ten drops of lemon essential oil to an atomizer bottle filled with spring or distilled water and spritz the inside of the car. This will help cleanse the more obvious odors while also bringing a bright, sunny scent to your driving experience. Finally, hanging a small and round faceted quartz crystal on nine or 18 inches of red string from the rearview mirror will pump protective energies, and make sure that everyone arrives at Grandmother’s house safe and sound and ready for a big slice of her homemade apple pie!

Feng Shui Tip of the Day for November 10th

I almost didn’t remember that today is ‘Forget Me Not Day.’ If you want to meet someone who will forget you not (especially when it comes time to tie the knot), then you might want to wear a special oil blend that promises that whoever gets a whiff will immediately be smitten by your ‘scentual’ magnetism. Blend two drops each of rose essential oil, jasmine essential oil, bergamot essential oil and damiana essential oil to a base of a quarter cup of almond oil and then wear this mix as a perfume or aftershave. You’re sure to be remembered very fondly, long after the initial introductions have worn off. Believed to be stimulating and highly effective love attractants, these oils, when mixed together with loving intention, have been used as charms to help draw in new partners or even to help to strengthen existing relationships. Applied to the pulse points, or even used in the bath as massage oil, this preparation will give new meaning to the warning ‘slippery when wet.’ Go ahead and forget I ever said that!
