(Samples from previous Students)

Using the formula above from Silver Ravenwolf, I  mixed:

Using the recipe provided as  a guideline a created the following recipe for my floor and everything protection wash. Since Protection comes under the Element of Fire, I used oils that correspond with Fire. I used Geranium and Rosemary.

 

Protection Wash

Using the recipe above in part 4.2 I used Rose Germanium, Lavendar and Patchouli

The combination was a pierceingly sweet, refreshing and uplifting, calming. The patchouli is used for getting rid of negativity.

 

I am using vodka (I have some left over from making a hair tonic) and well water, with the juice of half a lemon, and for protection, physical strength  and courage I have added 3 drops nutmeg, 2 rose greanium, and 2 tangerine. The scents are warming, just what is needed in time for the next storm!

Blessed Be

 

 

Part Two: Create your own potion

The formula for your success in creating and working potion magick is quite simple.  It is found within you, with love and trust in your heart.

When you are looking for creating a potion there are several items factored into the recipe.

What type of potion are you making?

          There are a couple basic types of potions.

·        Potion which can be used for physical cleansing.  For this type of potion you will need a cleansing agent.  In our Cleansing and Protection potion you are using the alcohol and the lemon as your cleansing agents

·        A potion which will be used to symbolically cleanse, heal or protect.  This type of potion generally uses water, herbs and oils to reinforce the magickal intent created by you.

What is your intent?

          Your intent needs to be focused upon and visualized while you mix your potion and make use of it through simple ritual like actions.

What are your ingredients?

          Know your ingredients.  Never use cleansing agents, herbs, oils that you are unfamiliar with.  Never mix ingredients with which you are unsure of the chemical reactions.  Research your ingredients and their reactions before mixing.

What materials are needed?

          Know what kind of materials you will use to mix your potion in, with, store in, and apply with.  A good rule of thumb is to mix in glass or metal.  Using plastic buckets when creating a potion for mopping.  Store in containers which will not be used for anything else.  Make small enough quantities that it will not have the opportunity to go rancid.

Will this serve as a cleansing agent?

          If you are creating a potion which will serve a dual purpose of magickal cleanser, protector and a physical cleanser, know what kinds of soaps, natural chemicals, household chemicals can be safely mixed together.

This point is very important and bears this second reminder to know your ingredients well before mixing them together.  There are resources all over the internet and in bookstores to find out what can be mixed and what cannot be safely mixed.

Your Homework:

Create a Potion for healing/inner peace and carry out the use of the potion.  Post your results in this thread and write them in your herbal Grimoire
