Rose Water Recipe

You Will Need: 

 A small or medium sauce pan/pot

3 Fragrant Red Roses

 8 to 10 oz. of Spring Water

I recommend that you let your water be blessed and charged by the sun the day before making this, you could use Moon Water if you wanted to also. Make sure that the water is drinkable though, so don’t use Ocean Water for example. 

Make sure that your petals are free of all dirt and bugs and if you MUST use store bought roses, thoroughly wash the petals before doing this as they get sprayed in the store with pesticides. 

Pour your water into your pot and then add the petals one by one making sure again that there are no bugs or dirt that may have been missed. 

Using a wooden (or plastic if you don’t have wood) spoon, gently submerge the petals, they’ll float, but try to get the tops wet too. Heat slowly on Medium Low heat, do not bring to a boil. 

After about 30 minutes your water should be turning a light pink color and should be quite fragrant. I let mine heat for 45 minutes to an hour depending on the color and taste. Definitely give it a taste and see if you think it’s strong enough for you, you can always add more petals. 

The petals should be iridescent once it’s done. Go with what you feel on when you think it’s done, but it shouldn’t ever take more than an hour. Once you’re done fill a jar or bottle with the Rose water and store it in the fridge. 

This keeps pretty well, up to two months in the fridge, but I wouldn’t let it go much longer than that unless you had to. 

I hope that helps you guys out, like I said it’s super simple and a lot of it has to do with preference.  :)  wiccanwolfinthewoods  I’d love to see how yours comes out! :)

Historically Sacred Items/Offerings to each of the Ouranic Theoi! I made this for my Hellenic polytheism group on discord, so I thought I’d share this information with all of you as well.

All information has been taken from theoi.com as well as various historical books on the gods, and I have decided to make this powerpoint so that other people don’t have to sift through all the pdfs and books themselves.

Energy Work: Introduction to Fields Exercise

I want to start sharing more of my energy practice, here, and felt the best way to start doing that was to post an “introductory primer”. This meditation is designed to familiarize you with energy and its tactile properties. You can get some use out of this exercise regardless of your experience level (I still practice it, today), and it’s a great entry point for someone who’s never even dabbled before. All you’ll need to enjoy it is a comfortable, quiet place where you’re unlikely to be disturbed for roughly 30 minutes.

Tip: Don’t try to follow along with this text as you perform the exercise. Instead, read it in its entirety before you begin. This way, you can avoid the distraction of scrolling or flipping pages during your meditation. That will kill your focus dead.

Step 1:

To begin, sit or stand in a comfortable position. Shake yourself out, paying particular attention to your shoulders and wrists. Do this until you feel loose and relaxed. Now, take a deep breath in, filling your lungs to the largest capacity possible. Hold the breath for a count to three, then exhale slowly, through your mouth. Concentrate on your breathing for as long as necessary to make it deep, slow and even. As you inhale, focus on the weight in the middle of your chest. Feel all the tension leave your body as you exhale. Draw your focus inwards, and feel your pulse as it travels through your body. Be still, quiet, and whole. Remain here until you are grounded and focused.

Step 2:

When you feel relaxed and grounded, raise your arms so that your elbows are up and away from your body. With your hands open, turn them so that your palms are facing each other in front of you. The palms of your hands should be roughly one foot apart, and one foot away from the core of your body.Feel your focus slowly travel from your chest, to your shoulders, and down through your arms. Sweep it down past your elbows and wrists until you are focusing on the palms of your hands. You may notice a tingling sensation, or a hyper awareness, in your fingers. Push this feeling out until you are focused on the space between your palms.  The keyword is ‘push’. Feel a pressure building up between your hands; focus until that pressure is a dense weight.

Step 3:

With your attention still on the space between your palms, physically push them together. You should feel a slight resistance, or “bounce”. Bring your hands together and back apart rhythmically, getting a feel for that resistance. Play with the energy you have gathered there, growing it, condensing it, passing it back and forth between your hands. Get a feel for its properties. This is “you” energy. Get to know it. Take as long as you need.

Step 4:

When you are finished, draw your hands back towards the trunk of your body. Press the tension you have built up against your chest and “breathe” it back in until nothing is left externally.

Repeat the earlier breathing exercise — inhale deeply, hold for three seconds, and slowly exhale through your mouth. Focus on your breathing until it is deep and regular. Bring your focus from your hands, back to your chest. Feel the weight there.

Slowly, begin rolling your shoulders. Roll your head on your neck, and shake out your arms, dispersing any tension. Shake your wrists and hands until they are loose and free. Feel yourself slowly wake from the deep relaxation you enjoyed earlier.

When you’re finished, engage in some mundane grounding activity, such as washing up, eating, or drinking. You might enjoy journaling your experiences so that you can reference them later on.

I prepared a floral simmer pot.

Do you want to make your house smell amazing while being thankful to Gaia at the same time? If so, you can prepare this beautiful and fragrant floral simmer pot.

What you'll need to prepare a floral simmer pot

1 tbsp. dried lavender

1 lemon, thinly sliced

1 sprig of fresh mint

Roses or rose buds, stems removed (I used about 6 spray roses)

1 cup rose petals

1/2 cup fresh chamomile flowers

10 drops of rose essential oil

10 drops of lavender essential oil

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a medium pot or Dutch oven. Add about 4 inches of water to the pot. Place it on the stove and bring to a simmer over low heat. Be careful of overheating the water beyond a very gentle simmer, because boiling flowers will ruin their scent.

Let the pot simmer for several hours, refilling with water as needed.

Tip: When you're done using the simmer pot, bury it and thank Gaia for her gifts that purify your home.
