LOUHI

[noun]

a queen of the land known as Pohjola in Finnish and Lappish mythology. She was described as a powerful witch with the ability to change shape and weave mighty enchantments. She was also the main opponent of Väinämöinen and his coterie in the battle for the magical artifact Sampo in the Kalevala.

MANDRAGORA: To Sway Another to Your Will

Thou root of Mandrake from Earth’s bed Shaped and fashioned by my own hand Become the likeness of the one Whose will I’ll bend to my command 

The Mandrake or Mandragora has been used in various purposes in withcraft and it is known because of its roots resemble a human figure. 

Use this spell when you wish to influence the mind of a certain person. Care must be taken when performing such task as you must do this with full resolve, without any doubts. You are to affect your will to someone else so there should be clarity in your thoughts.

Anti Anxiety Spell Charm Ingredient Substitutes

(CLICK HERE FOR ORIGINAL POST)

One of my more popular posts, My anti anxiety spell charm has gotten lots of questions. 

The most common being ingredient substitutes. 

My original recipe includes Lavender Buds, Eucalyptus Leaves, Spearmint Leaves, And a shard of Selenite. 

If for what ever reasons you can not access or use these ingredients substitutes are fine. 

Swap out the Lavender for Hibiscus or Chamomile (Use tea bags if you have them) 

Or substitute the Eucalyptus or Spearmint with peppermint (Also available ads a tea)

The Selenite is completely optional and more of a luxury item than a necessity for the spell to work. It keeps the spell charm cleansed and purified while also clearing stress and anxiety. A clear Quartz would also do the job fine. 

As I usually mention in my posts, My recipes should always be seen as a base for you to use. Use them as inspiration and change them to fit your craft.  Use what ingredients work for you, And what you have available to you.

TeaLC --- Ten Herbal Teas for the Body and Soul

Here are a few of the herbal teas that I like to use when I’m stressed, anxious, tense, worried, or just want a nice calm evening with my partner. These tea recipes and formulae are my own creations, and I retain copyright on all of them! If you want to use them in your own works, please contact me first and I’ll be happy to give you permission.

All herbs mentioned are dried, and all seeds and pods are crushed or ground. It is recommended to use 400-500ml of water in each tea, and all water should be poured at boiling point unless otherwise stated. If the water is not brought up to boiling point before adding, the medicines in the herbs will not fully disperse into the water.

Steep all teas for at least 10 minutes in a covered container/teapot unless otherwise stated, otherwise the volatile aromatics in the herbs will evaporate into the air or will still be trapped in the herbs. 

Remember! 1 tsp = 1 teaspoon 1 tbsp = 1 tablespoon 1 h. tsp/tbsp = 1 heaped tea/tablespoon

————————————————–

A Little R&R

2 tsp German chamomile

1 tsp spearmint

1 tsp marshmallow root

This gentle tea is soothing and calm, its properties relatively mild and suitable for both adults and children alike. It helps put the mind into a calmer state and begins the process of running the body down before sleep, and for that reason it makes an excellent bedtime drink. It can also be used after a long day at work to switch the body out of “work” mode and into “R&R” mode, hence the name. Due to the marshmallow root, it tends to thicken up if you leave it to steep for more than 30-60 minutes, but this is actually good for you!

A Bedtime Kiss

1 tsp German chamomile

½ tsp passiflora (passionflower)

1 tsp oatstraw 

This warming and pleasantly earthy tea is an ideal addition to the night-time rituals of anyone who struggles with persistent insomnia or restless nights. With the usage of chamomile for soothing, passiflora to encourage restful sleep, and natural oatstraw to calm worries and anxieties, this tea is like a gentle bedtime kiss from mum before curling up in bed. Also useful for those who suffer from nychtophobia, otherwise known as fear of the dark; its calming formula eases worry and makes sleeping at night just a little easier. This tea is only suitable for 7-year-olds and above. 

Cuddle My Hot Water Bottle

1 h. tbsp shredded fresh ginger

½ tsp cardamom

1 tsp fennel seed

500ml boiling water

This spicy and fragrant brew is an aromatic mix of warming herbs and spices that will calm the body and invigorate the mind. Ginger and cardamom are a powerful combination of potent healing and soothing herbs that will ease out any pains or aches whilst energising your mind, whilst the calming properties of fennel will relax your body and prepare it for the rest of your day. This is the perfect tea for a long day in the office or for pulling an all-nighter, simultaneously rejuvenating your senses and kickstarting your mind for quick, creative thinking.

Twinkle Twinkle Morning Star

1 tsp liquorice root

1 tsp fennel seed

½ tsp cardamom

1 tsp elderflower

1 tsp honey

This punchy little number packs a kick, and is highly recommended for when you wake up in the morning with a stuffy nose you just can’t clear. The aromatic properties of liquorice and fennel will wipe away your sinus troubles in time for your journey to work, and the gently soothing and potently antiviral nature of elderflower and natural honey will help your body rest up faster and recover more effectively from colds, flus, and a bad night of poor sleep. Paired with “Cuddle My Hot Water Bottle”, this combination is devastating to colds and flus! Those with high blood pressure should avoid long-term usage, because chronic consumption of liquorice raises blood pressure. 

A Midnight Breeze

1 tsp marshmallow root

1 tsp peppermint 

½ tsp passiflora

1 tsp elderflower 

When chronic coughing and two-week colds have left your nights sleepless and your evenings exhausting and stressful as you struggle to breathe, this aerating super-tea is here to help! The potent antiviral properties of natural elderflower help to fight back against viruses like colds and flus, whilst the expectorant and easing qualities of marshmallow root will calm your coughing and help give you a phlegm-free night. Passiflora and peppermint combine in this tea to prompt natural rest and relaxation from the body and to encourage it to get some much-needed healing sleep, to help you recover faster and get better sooner. This tea is best left to stew for at least an hour, and should be drunk every evening for the duration of your cold or flu. Not suitable for children under 7. 

Tickle My Tummy

1 h. tbsp shredded fresh ginger

1 tsp lemon balm

1 tsp German chamomile

1 tsp honey

A warm and snuggly tea that calms nausea and eases indigestion, this tea is suitable for anyone who wakes up in the night with nausea or starts to feel sick during the day. Tender tums and sensitive stomachs are quieted and calmed by the warmth of ginger tea, whilst the lemon balm and chamomile eases indigestion, soreness and bloating. A little honey for taste is all that’s needed to cap off this pleasant, easy tea for those whose tummy is simply not cooperating! 

A Midsummer Night’s Tea

½ tsp mugwort

½ tsp wild lettuce

1 tsp German chamomile

1 tsp vervain

1 tsp spearmint

A mysterious tea for mysterious people, this dreaming potion will have you off playing with the fairies in no short order. Combining the calming and soporific powers of vervain, spearmint and chamomile with the dream-enhancing effects of mugwort and wild lettuce, this Shakespearean brew will produce vivid mental images and deep, dream-filled sleep that will leave you refreshed and inspired when you awaken from fairyland each morning. Not suitable for children under 13, or for those on sleeping pills, anti-anxiety medication, or anti-psychotics. This is a very potent dreaming potion, and should be discussed with your doctor before usage to ensure it does not interact with any of your medications or health conditions. 

Better Than Oysters

1 tsp vervain

1 tsp damiana

1 tsp saw palmetto

Best served with chocolate

Sometimes, sleep and therapy and soothing music just isn’t enough to calm down all the tensions in your body and mind, and perhaps something else may be required to allow your energies to burn themselves off in a healthy, regular way. This tea is designed to allow consenting adults who may have the mutual desire to engage in such energy-raising activities but lack the physical ability to do so to gain a little edge in their quest for such potency. Using the temporary boost in testosterone caused by saw palmetto, combined with the neurochemical switches triggered by damiana and vervain, this tea is truly better than oysters when it comes to stimulating what should be stimulated and supporting what one desires be supported. This tea works for anyone of any gender, and will allow anyone of any gender or orientation to feel comfortable in their own latent sexuality and give you the confidence to bring all parties to a mutually satisfactory conclusion. Please note that usage of such products on another person without their consent is strictly illegal in all jurisdictions. Not suitable for children, or those with polycystic ovaries, or ovarian or prostatic cancer. 

A Quiet Night In

1 tsp German chamomile

1 tsp peppermint

1 tsp lemon verbena 

½ tsp lavender flowers

½ tsp rose petals

A cuddly tea for cuddly people, this one could be considered the “baby sibling” of the above “Better Than Oysters” tea. Designed simply to calm your body and mind and help yourself enter a warm and emotional state of being, this soft and snuggly tea makes a wonderful end to a quiet night in with the significant others in your life. German chamomile and lemon verbena cooperate to soothe and ease the mind and body, whilst peppermint, lavender and rose help you to open up your emotions and feel yourself and the people you love in your life. This tea is suitable for ages 3 and up, and may also help parents bond with their babies (only the parent should drink the tea).

The Voyager’s Companion

1 tsp gingko leaves

½ tsp powdered ginseng

1 tsp oatstraw

Those jetsetting off to far-flung lands will know all too keenly the irritation of those 3 first, crucial days of your holiday being cut short by the beast of jetlag. This simple tea is no outright cure, but will help cut the duration of jetlag significantly and also improve your mood when you do finally arrive. The melatonin-stimulating effects of ginseng, combined with the absorption-increasing powers of gingko and the calming properties of oatstraw harmonise to produce an excellent and fragrant tea for the neutralisation of the woeful symptoms of a jetlagged mind. This should be taken one day before departure, as well as for at least 3 days after the flight 1 hour before bedtime. Suitable for  all ages.
