Sacred Water

Make your own sacred water by adding one part of the following herb mixture to four parts water in a large, clear bottle or jar:

rose petals
jasmine
hyssop

Stir in three teaspoons of sea salt.

Begin your waters during the third quarter of the moon. Sit the mixture in a sunny spot where it will be undisturbed until the last night of the fourth quarter of the waning moon. (9-16 days, depending on when you start).

If the water gets low, add one-half to three-fourths cups water. When it has "percolated" sufficiently (it will look like tea), strain off the herbs and save in a jar for divination.If using clear water, drop a crystal or shell into the bowl. This will aid in your focus.

Scry as usual.

Black Salt

Black salt is generally used in protection spells and hex-breaking. To make your own, follow the recipe below:

1 part rue
1 part sea salt
pinch of graveyard dirt.

In a pan or cauldron heat the rue until it is charred. Make sure to supervise closely and work in a well-ventilated area. Let cool.

In a mortar and pestle, grind the rue, sea salt and graveyard dirt until completely blended. Consecrate according to your path. Store in an airtight container.

Hex Breaking Potion

If a hex has been cast against you or your family, make an infusion from the bark of the plant known as the Wahoo (Euonymus atropurpuracea) then let it cool.


Dip the fingertip of your right index finger into the infusion and then use it to trace the symbol of a cross on your forehead and/or those of the family members afflicted by the hex. As this is done, shout the work "Wahoo!" seven times.




According to occult tradition, the hex will be instantly broken.




WARNING: Do not drink the infusion as Wahoo is regarded as poisonous.

Flying Ointment

This is the ointment that was supposedly used in the old days by witches to fly on brooms but what it does is makes you hallucinate and get high and is probably lethal. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS!

Cinquefoil
Parsley
Aconite
Belladonna
Hemlock
Cowbane

Astral Oil

5 parts mugwort
2 parts parsley
1 part catnip
1 part orris root powder
3 drops jasmine oil
pinch of valerian root

Crush the herbs and mix them into a natural, unscented oil. Apply to body before attempting astral projection.

Note: Always be cautious when using mugwort. It is a powerful herb which must be used both carefully and sparingly.
