Making Magic - Chamomile Flower Floor Sweep

I love Herbal Magic - it's so simple and effective!

Using Flowers in Herbal Magic can be as simple as placing a few of the blossoms around your house or scattering a handful around the base of a candle.

Dried Flowers are so common in homes, most people have them and don't even know the Magical Energy they are creating around themselves.

Chamomile Flowers are used in most teas for relaxing and stress reduction. Magically, they are used for removing negative energy. To do this you may wish to sprinkle a few blossoms around the rooms of your home - window sills are always a good choice or you may decide to place a small dash in the corner of each room. I love to do floor sweeps, which are so simple and really help to clear the negative energy from a room.

To do a floor sweep all you need to do is first take a broom and sweep your floor.. you may only have tile or hardwood floors in the kitchen and bath and that's fine! Always remember to sweep in the direction of the front door - the point is to sweep the negativity out of your home, not to draw it back inside. When you are finished with the broom take your dried herbs and scatter them all over the floor you just swept all the while envisioning loving white and gold light surrounding your home and all those in it. You may wish to chant something or just repeat a short affirmation that will seal and protect your work. Let the herbs sit for a bit and then sweep them all up again and dispose of them (a small biodegradable bag works great!)

Chamomile Flowers not only clear negative energy from a home, but also attract money, wealth and prosperity which everyone can always use a bit of!

Such a versatile flower and useful for both magical and medicinal purposes. I offer fresh, dried, organic Chamomile Flowers in my Etsy Shoppe if you're in need of some, as well as other magical herbs for spells!

Have an Enchanted Day~

What do you do When You're Overwhelmed?

I’m learning that when I’m stressed and overwhelmed with doubt and frustration that I need to start applying what I’m learning at school (I’m studying metaphysics, for those who don’t already know..) So, what is it that I know?

Well, if I let the uncertainty and the concerns overtake me then that is the outcome I will have. So, what do I do when I feel like giving in and succumbing to the dark emotions of worry, doubt and fear??


I start to take in deep breaths and relax.

I close my eyes.

I let myself……… F E E L. I turn myself over to my senses. And slowly, I turn all my focus on my heart chakra, glowing green—maybe it’s not too bright or spinning the correct way or cluttered with dark spots. But, I continue to focus until the light there is bright, until it’s all I can feel, until it surrounds my whole body and extends out into my aura. Until everything I can see is touched with Bright Green Light.. and then Pink.

I surround myself with loving, compassionate energy and listen to where the pull of my heart is taking me. Sometimes, it’s not in the direction I’d always think…

And then I slowly open my eyes and take a minute (a FULL MINUTE, for real!) and feel overwhelming gratitude for the things I have in my life that make me happy, that bring me joy, contentment, and peace.

After that… I smile.

And then the rest seems easy.

Witch Crafting ~ Make Your Own Yule Log

I thought it might be fun to make my own Yule Log this year. It's a fun thing to do with the kids, the tricky part (well, depending on where you live) is finding a good piece of Oak Wood for the base!

If anyone decides to make a Yule Log and post pictures on your Blog.. I'd love it if you'd leave a link for me to stop by and see!

Making a Yule Log:
  • You'll need a piece of Oak Wood - approx 4" thick and 10" long
  • Drill three holes in the top of the Log (for placing candles, aluminum foil can be used around the bottom of the candles to help with the fit)
  • Decorate your Yule Log with Foliage to reflect the Season -- Holly, Ivy and Mistletoe are some good starting places.

When you're ready to Celebrate the Winter Solstice light your Candles and Welcome the rebirth of the Sun King!

Enjoy!

New Moon Esbat

I don't always perform a New Moon Esbat, but with Mercury in retrograde and Mabon just a week past.. I think this month I will.

For those of you who don't know, the New Moon is a good time to perform spells and rituals for growth, healing and blessings. If I get real elaborate and creative with my ritual, maybe I'll take some pictures and post them tomorrow!

On another note.. I have a new family member to bestow blessings upon, a black Labrador Retriever named Rex (he came with the name). He's just the cutest thing and the perfect dog for our family (we're all very lazy and he fits in just fine!)





Enjoy The New Moon!
Blessings ~
Sage
