How I Dry Herbs And Flowers

Bedroom Witch Tips

🌿Herb sachets hung above your bed (request herb sachet recipes from me if you’re interested).

🌿Hang Dry herbs upside down in your bedroom (Lavender helps for anxiety and depression… it is very calming or Mugwort for dreams. Mugwort is very invasive, you can find it growing everywhere).

🌿Herbs placed inside your pillow sheet (I place Mugwort leaves inside to active lucid dreams).

🌿Setup an Altar near your bed: add elements of earth, fire, water and air. You can also use your windowsill as an altar.

🌿Place Black Tourmaline under your bed: shields you energetically by taking the electromagnetic frequencies, and instead of absorbing them, tourmaline changes, redirects, cleanses, and purifies the energy. This is how it handles negativity, even energies of psychic attack too!

🌿Place Sigil writings or powders for protection and restful beauty sleep under your mattress.

🌿Keep a dream journal under your pillow! Dreams can help us get a glimpse into our subconscious and the more dreams you write the easier it becomes for you to remember them.

🌿Unless you are allergic, sleep with the window halfway open or cracked to let good energy move around and circulate in your room and keep skin hydrated during the night.

🌿Drink herbal tea before bed each night. (Request free herbal tea recipes from me if interested) Mugwort tea is great to have in the evening before bed to reach high levels of lucid dreaming

🌿Smoking Herbs before bed is great as well. I recommend this book for further reading: Smoke Plants Of North America by M.R. Ross. (Request free Smoke Blend recipes from me if interested). With reverence, Rosemary Milk 🌹

STEP INTO YOUR POWER

1. stop humbling yourself - when people tell you to “humble yourself” they are basically telling you to shrink your power, your voice and your self expression. don't hold yourself back and suppress your desires. you are deserving of the best.

2. use your insecurities - everyone has insecurities, even successful people but instead of letting insecurities hinder them, they embrace their qualities and learn to improve upon them. your diffracting qualities is another way you shine amongst others and is your gift. use it!

3. stop caring what others say - never let people's words and judgements affect you. someone else’s opinion has nothing to do with you. matter of fact in 5 years time is there opinion really going to matter once you've reached your highest potential?

4. stay focused on creating the life you want - instead of being caught up in everyone else and the latest gossip, set goals towards your dreams and focus on you. keep your eyes on the prize and keep improving your life. maintain your health, looks and wellbeing. you are more than capable to achieving your goals, so persist and believe in yourself.

•Chamomile- When infused as a tea, the gold liquid relieves anxiety and is sedative. By smoking chamomile, you will earn the same benefits as of drinking chamomile tea.

By smoking chamomile you inhale the molecules it contains and in that way you consume the healthy properties of the herb. (Same as happens with cannabis)

It's a mood stabilizer and enhancer that has been used for centuries to alleviate depression and melancholy.

How to Make Your Own Herbal Smoking Blend

* Smoking mixtures are largely a matter of personal tastes and preferences – experiment with different herb combinations to see what suits you best – but here are the basics to get you started.

1. Harvest fresh, young leaves, ideally in the morning after the dew has evaporated.

2. Dry the leaves slowly indoors – try hanging them in bundles from the ceiling or spreading them out on a window screen(Don’t dry them fast in an oven, as you want the leaves to retain a bit of moisture for a smoother smoke.)

3. Once dry, crush the leaves by hand into an even consistency.

4. Combine according to the guidelines below:

~General Guidelines~

* Marijuana is the ideal “base” for smoking blends in my humble opinion. It should form about 50 percent of the mixture.

* Then add several other herbs for the “body” of the blend. Mugwort and skullcap create a headier smoke, while uva-ursi gives it more of a tobacco-like quality. Add a bit of coltsfoot if you’re lungs are irritated from frequent tobacco use. Combined, these herbs should constitute about 40 percent of the blend.

* Use flavoring herbs, like mints and sages, for the final 10 percent of the blend.

* If the blend is too harsh when you smoke it, trying spritzing the dried herbs with a spray bottle to reintroduce moisture.

* Store smoking blends in glass jars or resealable plastic pouches.

✨Please research each herb before you smoke it, because there are side effects to each of them especially if you're on other medications.✨

Sigil request status on my blog.

Abundance and wealth comes to me on a daily basis.

My skin is fresh and clear, and kissable.

My ears are adorned with diamonds, and hair is absolutely glamorous on me.

I receive a nice weekly allowance to spend on whatever I please.

I am gifted lovely bags, and treated out to delicious drinks and brunches with my loved ones.

I can afford designer no problem, and choose beautiful timeless pieces as the ones to last for me.

My purse is always filled with money, and my bank account flourishes from the amount of money both my loved ones give me, and my career of choice provides me.

I have all the best shoes; my toes are always painted, primmed, and looking stellar.

My hands have beautiful, astonishingly gorgeous rings on them. I get taken out to romantic candlelit dinners often, and am romanced the whole time.

My hair is gorgeous, long, and goes down past my shoulders in gorgeous, shiny, luscious chocolate curls.

And all my loved ones spoil me, treat me out to the finest things in life; and absolutely love to provide for me at any single point in time.

My sister bought these cute gentilly cupcakes for my mom’s birthday and they were delicious. I need to find the recipe so I can make them at home

I cannot imagine what the actual legal argument is for slapping a felony on a trans healthcare provider, ESPECIALLY when they’re consulting patients that are OVER the legal age of 18.

The state wants to control everyone’s bodies. Smash the state.
