DREAM PILLOWS
(submitted by silverskyes 26/9/99)
The following are a lot of fun to
make and to give as gifts.--ME
DREAM PILLOW
Rose Petals two parts
Lemon Balm two parts
Costmary one part
Mint one part
Clove one part
Lavender one part
Sew up with white or silver thread
on purple cloth into a small pillow. Decorate with lace, silk, embroider
with designs, etc. according to your fancy. Sleep on it to have vivid dreams.
(It smells great!)
ASTRAL TRAVEL PILLOW
Mugwort three parts
Frankincense 1/2 part
Vetivert two parts
Sandalwood one part
Rose Petals one part
1 pinch of ground Orris
root
1 Vanilla bean, crushed
Make into a small pillow of blue
coloured cloth with yellow cotton thread. Sleep on it to promote astral
travel during sleep.
NOTE: After six months these
pillows may lose their "fresh" scent. You can reuse them by emptying out
the old contents and refilling them with new herbs.
The easiest way to do this is to
create a "pocket" within these pillows. Sew the pillows with an open fold
that can be closed either by velcro or buttons. Also, to make it easier
to sleep on, pad it with cotton or downy goose feathers. How it will look
and feel is all up to you!
HALLOWEEN
PLEASANT DREAMS SACHETS (Submitted by Witchwoman 25/10/99)
Halloween-design
material to make small sachet bags (or you can buy pre-made sachet bags
from a craft store and decorate)
4 tablespoons
dried lavender buds (love, protection, restful sleep)
20 whole
cloves (love and protection)
4 tablespoons
dried rosemary (protection and love)
1/2 teaspoon
dried orange peel (love)
1 sunflower
seed for each sachet (wisdom)
Mix lavender,
cloves, rosemary, and orange peel together in a small bowl. Hold
your hands over the bowl of herbs and say:
"From mother moon and father sun
From autumn breezes carrying angel prayers
I empower these herbs to bring protection and love
To whoever holds them between clasped hands
And prays for a restful sleep."
Hold your
hands over the herbs until your hands grow warm. Fill the sachet
bags, then empower the sunflower seeds, saying:
"From mother moon and father sun
From autumn breezes carrying angel prayers
I empower these herbs to bring protection and love
To whoever holds them between clasped hands
And prays for restful sleep."
Tie up
sachets, reaffirming with each sachet:
"From mother moon and father sun
From autumn breezes carrying angel prayers
I empower these herbs to bring protection and love
To whoever hold them between clasped hands
And prays for restful sleep."
The recipe
will make approximately 7 to 10 small sachets. |
