Earth Element Wishing Powder All of the herbs, oils, and colors chosen for these powders in this recipe has been chosen because it corresponds to the element of Earth. * Herbs: * Clover * Mimosa * Sagebrush * Essential Oils: * Jasmine * Lavender * Colors: * Black * Brown * Green All wishing powders consist of three main ingredients �?Dried Herbs, Essential Oils, and colored Glitter or Confetti. The glitter and confetti you choose to work with can be anything from tiny silver stars to large purple hearts, large bottles of standard crafting glitter to small pots of ultra-fine iridescent glittering powder, and even colored wood shavings. I have found that when looking for ways to incorporate color into your powders, there are literally hundreds of options. Try them all and find out what works best for you! To create this powder, you will need to gather the following items: * The herbs, Essential Oils, colors listed above * A bowl for mixing (I recommend a plastic bowl with a lid since it is much easier to shake a powder together than to stir) * Any measuring cups or spoons you prefer to use * A mortar and pestle to help break up large chunks of herbs Once you have all your equipment ready, measure each ingredient into the bowl. For your first few powders, I recommend using 1 Tablespoon of each herb, 1 teaspoon of each glitter and / or confetti, and 1 drop of each Essential Oil. You can easily customize your powders once you get the hang of making them! Next, cover your bowl tightly with its lid and shake vigorously until the ingredients are well blended. To empower your magickal powder, visualize what you would like the powder to accomplish �?money in your bank account, your perfect soul mate, or the excited face of your best friend when you present her with a special birthday wishing powder. Hold this image in your mind at least until you have finished shaking. Ideally, you will be thinking about this purpose throughout the whole creation process �?from gather ingredients to packaging the finished powder �?to give your magick as much energy as possible. To package your finished powder, you may measure it into small plastic zipper bags, pour them into small glass vials or plastic tubes, or even store them in the bowl you used to create them. The possibilities are nearly endless! Just remember to label the powder once you've packaged it and include a list of ingredients and instructions for use. ~ From: "Make A Wish - The Art of Creating Magic Wishing Powder" by Lady Wolfdreams ~ |
