Potions
LOVE POTION
You'll need a few large apples, cinnamon,
yarrow, spring water, salt, and an
enameled or cast-iron saucepan. These are
often associated with love and passion.
If it is to your orientation, it is often
helpful to bless or consecrate these components.
Concentrate on your goal while preparing
this potion:
Slice the apples place them into the saucepan,
coat with cinnamon, and cover with yarrow.
Put in enough water to submerge the contents
and add a small sprinkling of salt.
Stir clockwise on low heat, incanting a
love charm of your own making.
Bring to a simmer for about 90 minutes,
strain and place into a dark jar.
Put a few drops into your favorite aftershave
or cologne and wear it every 4 days.
The magick stays after the scent fades.
PROTECTION POTION
* 2-4 Cups of Spring Water, as a base
* 1 Tble. Powdered Iron or Iron Shavings
* 1 tsp. Vervain
* 2 Tble. Sea Salt
* 2 Tble. of each frankincense & Myrrh
· A pinch of Wolf's hair from a
live, shedding Wolf (ask a local Zoo keeper)
WISHING POWDER
* The Great Outdoors (This could be your
back yard, a park, or forest -- any
place where the wishing powder will land
on the earth when you release it).
* Anything else you feel you need to personalize
your wish.
You will need to craft the wishing powder
ahead of time.
You can either do this at home in a Circle
or, if you don't mind taking your mortal
and pestle along with you, you can make
it outside where you plan to use it.
(This isn't too hard to do if you're staying
in your own backyard).
* 2 parts sage * 1 part sandalwood * 1
part Tonka beans
Grind, mix, and empower.
If you're feeling adventurous, customize
your wishing powder to the wish you'll be making.
(Example: Crushed rose petals for bringing
love into your life).
Find a spot to make our wishes from.
Take a handful of the wishing powder and
begin concentrating on your wishes.
(Please do not put yourself in danger to
make a wish.
A wish is just as powerful whether it's
made standing on a rock on the side of a steep
hill or standing in a field). Put your
energy and wish into the powder you are holding.
When it feels like you can no longer hold
the energy, let it fly.
As the powder settles to the ground, visualize
your wishes joining with the Earth,
gaining power and strength.
As always, remember the Rule of Three when
making your wish.
After putting the energy out there, it's
impossible to call it back.
Remember the old saying, "Be careful what
you wish for, you may get it."
If you are worried about where to get Tonka
Beans (as needed for the above wishing spell).
You can do an easy search for them through
any search engine to find them.
Vanilla Beans/pods are a Substitute
LOVE POTION TEA
1 pinch of rosemary 2 teaspoons of black
ordinary breakfast tea tea
3 pinches thyme 3 pinches nutmeg 3 fresh
mint leaves
6 fresh rose petals 6 lemon leaves 3 cups
pure spring water
Sugar to taste Honey
To make another person fall in love with
you, brew this tea on a Friday during a waxing moon.
Waxing = moving from dark or no moon to
full
Place all ingredients in an earthenware
or copper tea kettle.
Boil three cups of pure spring water and
add to the kettle.
Sweetenwith sugar and honey, if desired.
Before drinking, recite this magical rhyme:
BY LIGHT OF MOON WAXING BREW THIS TEA TO
MAKE [lover's name] DESIRE ME.
Drink some of the tea and say:
GODDESS OF LOVE HEAR NOW MY PLEA
LET [lover's name] DESIRE ME!
SO MOTE IT BE
On the following Friday, brew another pot
of the love potion tea and give some to
the person you want to love you. He or
she will soon begin to fall in love with you.
LUST POTION
6 drops of Patchouli oil 6 drops of Sandalwood
oil 6 drops of Rose oil
6 drops of Clove oil 6 drops of Nutmeg
oil 6 drops of Olive oil
Wear as a perfume whenever you'll be in
the presence of the person you're trying to attract.
Be careful, this stuff is really potent.
And don't be surprised if you find others eyeing you as well.
I find it's pretty effective for getting
a man's attention. I would probably suggest substituting amber
oil for the rose oil in order to attract
a woman.
LOVE ME MADLY SPELL
If you are madly in love and wish it to
go full steam ahead into handfasting (Wiccan Marriage)
make him this excellent supermarket-ingredient
love potion.
Get yourself some orange juice, some spring
water, some rose water and a dash of nutmeg-oranges
are very potent symbols of love-if your
partner brings you one you can be sure he adores you.
Anyway, blend a beautiful refreshing drink
from the above (don't overdo the nutmeg) and
drink it with your lover-you don't have
to tell him what it's for. Look into his eyes-you'll see the
truth there about your future once he's
downed this powerful concoction.
This spell also work male to female.
EMPLOYMENT POTION
One part sandalwood oil One part patchouli
oil One part clove bud oil
One part frankincense oil One part nutmeg
oil
You will also need a green candle, parchment,
a pen and dragon's blood ink.
You may also use a green or gold ink pen.
On the waxing or full moon, fold all the
herbs into the cloth and tie a ribbon around it and place it on your altar.
Combine the oils together and place the
bottle on your altar.
On the parchment draw the symbol for Jupiter,
a money symbol (like a dollar sign or the
symbol for the pound or a rune for prosperity).
Also make a general list of all the things
you'd like to gain from your new job. Take
the green candle and with a pen, tack or crystal,
carve the word "Prosperity" into the wax.
Anoint the candle with some of the oil and allow it
to burn out. Wear the remainder of the
oil as a perfume, add it to a bath or put a drop or two
on your application or resume. Sleep with
the sachet under your pillow for at least a week.
You should see results in 1-3 months.
MOON PRIESTESS PERFUME
1 Drop Queen of the Night Oil 3 drops rose
oil
1 drop lemon verbana oil 4 fl. oz white
spirit
Blend the three oils in a bottle. Add the
white spirit, and shake all
vigorously. A cologne can be made by adding
another 1 FL. oz of white
spirit and 3 fl. oz of distilled water.
MOON PRIEST COLOGNE
1 fl.oz lemon verbena or Lime oil 2 fl.oz
coriander oil
1/2 fl.oz. camphor or myrrh oil 1/4 fl.oz.

and water and shake all
vigorously. Increasing the myrrh oils gives
a darker perfume;
increasing the camphor, a lighter and more
spicy one. All perfumes 'behave'

worth experimenting to find your own balance.

MOON WATER TONIC
Tonic waters containing the energies of
the moon embody very powerful healing
benefits that bring about integral balance
and wholeness throughout the body,
mind and soul. Clear quartz crystal catalyses
the absorption of lunar energies as
well as amplifies the healing benefits.
TO PREPARE MOON WATER
Wait for a clear night, preferably on or
right before the full moon.
Put your crystal in a clear glass and cover
with one cup of purified water.
Check an almanac for the exact time of
sundown on the day you have chosen.
At sundown, place the glass out of doors
in a moonlit place (cover the glass with clear plastic wrap).
Remove the glass at dawn. The water is
now filled with lunar potency.
Drink the moon water every morning to prepare
your body, mind and spirit for the stress of the day.
LOVE TEA SPELL
A love tea spell can be made on Monday,
Tuesday, or Friday during a waxing moon.
You Will Need:
3 candles (red, pink, and green) 4 caraway
seeds 4 fennel seeds
1 tea bag 3 rose hips 5 edible rose petals.
If you cannot get rose petals, buy rose
water or dried roses from a herbal shop.
(Be sure that the roses have not been sprayed
with pesticides and are safe for brewing
into a tea).
Light the candles and place them on the
stove near the teapot.
Bring two cups of spring water to a slow
simmer.
Add the other ingredients with the tea.
As the love tea is steeping, pass your
hands over the steam three times,
and concentrate on the feelings of love.
Pour a cup and sit in a cheerful place.
If you have a photo of an intended lover,
place it where you can see it as you drink the tea.
Recite this spell:
"I lift this cup to my lips,
I drink it slow with tiny sips,
Rose, tea, caraway,
And fennel cause love to stay."
ROSE DEW
Dew should be collected from organically
grown roses!
Non-organic roses are frequently sprayed
with highly toxic chemicals, some will cause allergic
reactions or worse! They aren't safe even
if you have never seen them being sprayed either,
systemic poisons are injected or placed
around the roots of the plant and will result in the same
exposure to these toxins. Even organically
grown roses are occasionally sprayed with sulfur and
other solutions to keep fungi at bay, so
this will affect the working. Sulfur will actually oppose this
working with its repelling tendencies.
Ideally, the roses will be your own, or from a garden you are
familiar with so you know that it has been
at least two weeks since any sprays have been applied.
I spray mine with a mixture of Comfrey,
manure, compost, and baking soda, fermented together and
made into a tea, and NO WAY would I recommend
collecting dew off of them for a couple days
after the spray! To collect the dew, have
a very clean, well wrung out, natural sea sponge or
color-free cellulose sponge. Armed with
your sponge and a small bottle, go to the roses late at
night or very early in the morning, during
the waxing moon is best. Dab the dew from the flowers
and some leaves and occasionally wring
the sponge out into the bottle.
This shouldn't take long, maybe 15 minutes
to collect what is needed, (depending on the
humidity in your area) but get extra as
long as you are there for future use.
Separate the excess from what you will
be using for any immediate workings.
To the bottle that you will be putting
up for storage add:
3 drops of ethyl alcohol, brandy, or rubbing
alcohol OR 9 drops of commercial vanilla extract
AND a small pinch of sea salt.
This will keep it fresh for several months,
and I like to refrigerate mine as well.
Exposure to light will ruin the solution,
as with many extracts and infusions, so keep it in the dark
or in an amber or cobalt glass phial. If
you cannot collect Rose Dew in this manner, substitute
rose water in your spells. Rose water can
be readily purchased from most grocers, drug stores
or Mediterranean food markets.
DELICIOUS SPICY LOVE POTIONS (MULLED WINE)
Mortar and pestle red wine beautiful glasses
for serving the wine
- 1 red candle 1 stick of incense a saucepan
- 3 types of love herbs, 1 teasp of each
(check that the herbs you chose are not poisonous )
Prepare your altar, light the incense and
candle. Grind the herbs in your mortar and pestle (If you
have used it for grinding poisonous herbs,
then either buy a new one for cooking, or use a food
processor ), charge the herbs for your
magical purpose. Put enough wine in the saucepan, simmer,
then add herbs slowly. As you do it, feel
your intention for love, stir in herbs, keeping your focus.
For best results, do on the waxing of the
moon and chose herbs that suit your taste. Some herbs
and spices do have a very strong taste.
SPELLBOUND LOVE POTION
filtered water, 2 cups of red wine
1 teasp of each of the following: Cumin,
mint and peppermint
mix herbs together in a pot, bring to the
boil and simmer for 10 mins. Serve.
CHARMS FOR LUCK
Place dried seaweed under the busiest portion
of the house to draw luck and prosperity to you.
To change your luck, add one tablespoon
of nutmeg to six cups of boiling water.
Steep for three hours. Use for body anointing
or add to a ritual bath.
HAPPINESS SIMMERING POTPOURRI
This just does something to people and I
can't figure out what it is.
They totally love the scent and go absolutely
wild over it.
I've used the recipe in simmering potpourri,
soap and other things.
It works in almost anything and is simple
to make.
--1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
and a half of rose oil
--1 teaspoon and a half of lavender oil
--One chamomile tea bag (empty the bag
into your bowl)
--4 good shakes of cinnamon 1 teaspoon
of coriander 1 bowl 1 spoon
Measure out all the dry ingredients into
your bowl.
Add your energy into them by mixing the
ingredients with your fingertips.
When you feel they are well mixed and you
are content, add the oils and other liquid
ingredients and mix with a spoon until
all dry ingredients are damp.
Use as needed...simmer with water as potpourri
or..use it however you wish.
When I made this I simply couldn't get
the smell off my hands. Not for days.
No matter how many times I washed. But
when I made it into bath salts and soap
the smell hardly showed up at all. It only
seems to show up when you seem to need it
and then a person can't get enough of it
and they smell it and smell it until it's ALL they smell.
PAIN RELEIVER SALVE
Mix together 1 oz of chickweed (reduces
inflammation and aids in healing), 1 oz of
wormwood (a great pain reliever), and 1
ounce of yarrow (an anti-bacterial agent that
also helps relieve pain). The yarrow plant
contains achillein and achilleic acid.
These substances reduce the clotting time
of blood, so they help stop any bleeding.
Yarrow also has pain-killing and anti-inflammatory
properties that are similar to aspirin.
Add the mixture of herbs to 2 pints of
olive oil and simmer 3 hours.
Strain and add 3 ounces of beeswax and
1 teaspoon of tincture of benzoin.
Test for consistency before pouring into
wide mouth containers.
BALM OF GILEAD SALVE
Place 1 ounce of the buds in 1 pint of hot
olive oil and allow to simmer, covered, 3 hours.
Strain and add 1-1/2 oz of beeswax and
1/2 tsp. tincture of benzoin to the strained mixture.
Test for consistency and place in sterile
jar.
This is a good salve to use on burns, scratches,
swelling injuries. Also good for any skin eruptions.
The signature of balm of Gilead is the
resin exudation covering the buds.
It contains salicin, which is also found
in aspirin.
It has some of the same pain-killing and
anti-inflammatory properties as aspirin.
DO IT YOURSELF FLORAL WATER

-
This is to be done when going to bed. You
need something to focus on; if it is in
view the moon, the stars, a crystal, a
favorite doll will work well...Use whatever you like.
This method involves the body falling asleep,
and you should never leave anything that
burns unattended. Place the object within
your view and lie down in your bed.
Just stare at the object as you doze off.
The first few times may be frustrating.
You may just fall asleep and that's it.
Keep staring at the object. As your eyelids become
heavy, keep staring. Eventually your eyes
will close, but you will still be able to see the object.
You will still be staring at the object.
Sit up or stand up, and don't be surprised to see your
physical body sleeping peacefully in your
bed!
When you are out of your body, do whatever
you wish.
FOUR THIEVES VINEGAR
This is used as a hexing agent.
The name of the person you wish to curse

the ritual.
Four Thieves Vinegar can be sprinkled on
an enemy's door step to break up their home.

And it's so gentle you can even use it
on diaper rash.
Calendula and plantain are known for their
ability to speed skin healing.
Both soften skin, relieve pain, and are
antibacterial.
How to make it: This is a two-step process.
First, you'll make an herb-infused oil:
In a large glass jar, combine 2 tablespoon each of crushed
Calendula flowers and dried plantain leaves
with 1/3 c of extra-virgin olive oil.
Leave uncovered, and place in a pan filled
with enough water to cover the lower half of the jar.
Set the burner on very low heat and simmer
gently for about 4 hours.
Check the oil periodically to be sure it's
not scorching; don't let it boil.
(You can also make the infused oil in a
Crock-Pot set on very low without a lid.)
After the allotted time, remove the oil
from the heat and allow it to cool completely.
Strain away the herbs through several layers
of cheesecloth and discard.
To make the balm, combine the infused oil
with 1 or 2 tablespoon of grated beeswax
and put it into a small stainless steel
bowl; set the bowl into a pot of water and heat just
until the beeswax melts, stirring gently
to help the melting.
To test the consistency, insert a cool
metal spoon into the balm and check the balm that
sticks to the spoon; it should be spreadable
but firm. If it's too oily, add another few
shavings of beeswax. At this point, you
can add a natural preservative to your balm to
prevent spoilage. Vitamin E, squeezed from
capsules, works very well.
Rosemary extracts or oil might improve
the aroma and antiseptic properties as well.
You'll need about 1/4 tsp. (two capsules)
to preserve this much balm.
After you've blended in the vitamin E,
transfer your final product to a sterile glass jar.
Use a clean spoon or small spatula to transfer
the balm to avoid introducing bacteria to the jar.
How to use it: Apply the balm to rashes,
scrapes, and other small or superficial abrasions
(don't use it on deep cuts). You can also
apply it regularly to help heal chronically chapped skin.
Stored in a cool, dark place, the balm
should keep for up to a year. Discard if it smells rancid.

FOUR THIEVES WINE -- FOUR THIEVES VINEGAR
This formula dates from the fifteenth century,
when it was developed as a healing formula.
As an inoculation against epidemic diseases
it actually works. Its use in magic came about
much later, as with many other substances
it became useful in the magical arts.
While the Bubonic plague raged through
southern France in the 1450s the number of bodies
so overwhelmed the grave diggers that they
called upon the municipal authorities for assistance.
Four thieves who had been jailed together
were released on the condition that they assist in
burying the dead. They agreed, and served
so well at their gruesome task that they were later
pardoned on the condition that they left
town.
One of the magistrates asked them how they
had managed to appear to remain so healthy,
even though they have been burying those
who had did of the plague.
They told him the secret of the four thieves
vinegar, which was made from
bottles of cheep wine, which begins to
turn to vinegar in a few days if left opened.
They filled the wine bottles with garlic,
and allowed it to stand for a while, and then drank a
wineglass (2 Oz) with every meal. They
continued this for a bit over the three or four months
that they had been engaged in burying the
dead.
Four Thieves Vinegar is made in the following
way:
Burgundy (red) wine is divided between
two bottles, and both bottles
are filled with peeled, and occasionally
crushed, garlic cloves.
The bottles are placed in the refrigerator
or spring house for a week.
Then two ounces of the wine (possibly on
the way to becoming vinegar) are taken twice or
three times a day. During the 1917 flu
epidemic my grandfather used it on all his family,
beginning as soon as he heard of the epidemic.
None of the family became ill, although
the neighbors on both sides of them had
deaths in their families. In magic it is used for
getting rid of people. It works there as
well. put about two ounces in a bath, soaking
for about five minutes in the tub. It has
a variety of other uses, in both magic and healing, as well.
FOUR THIEVES VINEGAR OZARKS VARIANT
The major difference between our recipes
for Four Thieves Vinegar is that it must have
four spices in it, one for each thief --
the four additives being
garlic (crushed or whole),
red pepper (crushed),
black peppercorns (whole), and
black mustard seed (whole).
Also, I was taught to make it with apple
cider vinegar, not red wine vinegar.
This is probably a regional variant based
on the fact that wine vinegar is uncommon in the
Ozarks, where I learned to mix up this
blend. I like red wine vinegar much better;
however, either way, it tastes great!
In addition to providing personal protection
from disease and magical attack,
Four Thieves Vinegar is used to send away
unwanted people or to make a family quarrel
and fall out among themselves. It can be
sprinkled or dashed against an enemy's doorsteps,
but it can also be served to an enemy family
as a condiment, which to me justifies the "thieves"
part of the name -- it is a sneaky way
to protect yourself while you get them out of your life.

LOVE PERFUME TO MAKE HIM/HER FALL FOR YOU
Need: perfume (check out "Real" here - contains
pheromones to attract!),
ground rosemary, ground mugwort.
Stand unobserved where your love lives/will
be and blow powders, don't wipe off from your
hands-add perfume/cologne and rub your
hands to generate heat and add more powders

"wandering wind carry my spell,
make ________ love me well,
herbs and scent make ______ mine
_____ shall see me, make his/her love turn
to me".
Wear this perfume whenever you will be
near them.
TO ATTRACT
Need: 1 cup of river/ocean water, powdered
hot pepper, powdered rosemary,
5 drops Jasmine oil, few drops of your
blood in a bowl never used before.
Sprinkle speaking forth your desire, in
or near their home.
DO IT YOURSELF BATH SALTS
Base Ingredients:
Epsom salt, Sea salt, Baking soda
Optional ingredients:
Finely powdered herbs, powdered oatmeal,
powdered milk, food coloring
Fragrance: Essential oil blends or Fragrance
oils as desired
Directions:
All ingredients must be water soluble,
or be in such a finely powdered state that it is invisible in the water.
Also, if your salt is a large crystal type,
grind your salt first in a food processor until it is finely ground.
Combine all dry ingredients in a large
zip-lock bag; mix well. Add fragrance and/or coloring slowly,
squinch up the bag and really mix well.
Keep mixing. Mix some more. Pour into a glass container -
plastic will eat up any fragrance you put
in.
PERFUMED INKS
Perfumed inks can be used whenever you want
to intensify a spell. If burning a candle, write out
your objective on a small piece of paper
and place it under the burning candle. If doing a spell
that calls for burning the paper, this
ink will strengthen what you are writing. Perfumed inks are
also great for writing notes and letters
to your loved ones. The making of perfumed ink is very easy.
Simply purchase a bottle of ink, either
black or colored, and add 2 or 3 drops of the appropriate
essential oil to the bottle. Let the bottle
of ink sit on your altar overnight. This is best done on the
Full Moon for positively-charged inks,
on the Dark Moon for negatively-charged inks. My tip for
a love letter is to mix red and blue Indian
or types of inks together and add some lavender essential
oil or some diffused lavender essence or
just leave the lavender petals in the inks and put in the
sun or airing cupboard for a week and then
strain. It is supposed to be the thing for writing love
letters and spells. As good as the Doves
blood ink!
LOVE/LUST POWDER
5 oz. Talc 1/4 oz. Cinnamon 1 oz. Sandalwood
1/2 tsp. sweet basil
10 drops frankincense oil 8 drops jasmine
oil 6 drops patchouli oil 1 tsp. myrtle oil
MONEY SOAP
The easiest way to do it would be to take
a bar of pure olive oil soap, or if you can't get
that, a bar of glycerin soap, and cut it
into shavings. Melt this slowly in a double
boiler, or in a pan over boiling water,
and mix the shavings with a bit of water so they
don't stick together in the pan. When you
have a nice, smooth consistency to work
with, you can add empowered ingredients.
Good ingredients to add would be:
-money herbs and oils, such as patchouli,
mint, basil, cinquefoil, ginger, sage,
Tonka, nutmeg, oak moss and lemon balm.
-empowered gold glitter
-Green vegetable coloring (or whatever
color you correspond money and prosperity with)
Once you have added your ingredients, let
the mixture cool slightly until you can start
forming it in your hands. You can now roll
it into balls, wrap them up in some
cheesecloth or muslin, and let them harden.
An easier way to make a quick money soap
is to purchase some melt & pour glycerin from
a craft store - I think they even have
it at Wal-Mart. It's sold in blocks. Melt the blocks in
glassware over the stove or on the microwave
until it is liquid.
Add your empowered ingredients quickly,
as melt & pour sets fast.
Next, pour the mixture into a mold (these
can be purchased also, or you can make
molds from just about anything from margarine
tubs to juice cans to empty toilet paper
rolls with foil on one end) and let the
soap set.
Melt and pour soap is easier to work with,
because you can add your ingredients much
easier, and you don't end up with so much
soap afterwards. You can also make bars
that are individual to your needs. For
example, try pouring half the mixture into the mold,
add a toy coin or a plastic dollar sign
which you have empowered, then pour the rest into the mold.
When hardened, you will have a soap with
an empowered item in the middle of it.
You could even put a charged stone in the
middle of the soap.
Creating the soap with your individuality
only makes it more powerful.
The best part? The above directions can
be used for any magickal goal, not just money!
One more thing, when using your soap, concentrate
clearly on your intentions and visualize!
For money, visualize the soap attracting
the money to you.
For illness, visualize the soap cleaning
the illness out of you.
HOLY WATER
Ingredients: 1 tsp. of rose water 3 tbsp.
sea salt or Kosher salt 1 small bowl of spring water*
1 clean glass container 1 new compact mirror
1 small storage glass bottle**
Note: You can buy the bottled water as
long as you know that it's really spring water.
But it's best if you get the water from
a running stream or other "live" body of water that you
know the water is clean. The bottle should
be either green or blue in order to keep its magic.
Before the Rite:
Cleanse and sterilize the bowl and the
glass container with boiling water.
Time: Midnight during a Full Moon phase.
Place: Out of doors under the moon, or
near a window that will reflect the light of the moon.
Procedure: Ground and center. Cast your
magic circle. Hold your arms outstretched in the Goddess
position (arms out at the sides like you're
cradling the Universe, palms up). Say:
In the cloak of the midnight hour
I call upon the Ancient Power
I seek the presence of the Lady and Lord
To bless this water that I will pour.
At this point, you should feel the energy
of Earth Mother and Skyfather move abut your feet
and head. Feel your own energy expand around
your navel and then unite with Divinity.
Take your time; no need to rush. Add the
rose water to the spring water. Pick the bowl of
water, hold it toward the light of the
Moon, and say:
In my hands I hold the essence of the Goddess.
I hereby cleanse and consecrate this water
to Divinity
that it may be used for positive acts only
and may aid me in my magical works.
Feel the energy of the Moon Goddess pulsate
down into the water.
Imagine her silver light descending from
the heavens and impregnating both the water and yourself.
You will feel a "glowy" sensation. Set
the water down and pick up the salt.
Feel the power moving in your arms as you
raise the salt toward the moon. Say:
In my hands I hold the essence of Earth
Mother,
She whose bounty sustains all living creatures.
I hereby consecrate this salt to Divinity
that it may be used for positive acts only
and may aid me in my magical work.
HEALING HERBAL BALM
Herbs: Calendula (Calendula officinalis)
