2008-09-17 09:57:10	1	Autumn Potpourri	Autumn Potpourri		Autumn Potpourri ------------------------------------------------------------ As our gardens are winding down, it's time to think about some of the crafts we can do to keep it with us over the winter. Some are for sustenance and health, and some are for pleasure. Potpourri is beautiful fragrant stuff. I happen to think that equals sustenance. Making Potpourri It is fun and easy to make potpourri, especially if you have kept dried petals from the garden. I like to pick things during the spring, summer, and fall, and use them as each one has some memory attached, and I am happiest when I am outside in the middle of nature. There are just a few "rules" to follow, and the rest is a matter of imagination. The first decision might be choosing a purpose. Do you want it to be a potpourri that is healing? Maybe you're wanting it to draw love or money… That might mean that you'll pick colors that coincide with the purpose, and scent and botanicals will focus on your goal. You may toss in some gemstones, seashells, mosses, and cones. What is the predominant color? Where will the potpourri go? Even the act of researching the ingredients can be empowering before you begin. Some other options for choosing your direction would be woodsy, floral, citrusy, spicy, or exotic. For the sake of instruction, we will talk about a woodsy blend. Begin by fixing the scent. This should be done a week or more before adding it to the botanicals. Orris root granules are an excellent fixative - absorbing and holding the fragrant oils. In a jar, put 1/2 ounce of orris root, perhaps 1/4 ounce of oak moss, and some hemlock cones, sandalwood chips, frankincense tears, or any mix of these ingredients to make about a cup (these ingredients are woodsy, and just orris root is fine too). Pour about 1/2 ounce of essential or fragrance oil into the jar and shake thoroughly. For a woodsy blend, one might try some balsam fir, pine, frankincense, and patchouli oils. If the intent is to get the benefits of aromatherapy, only essential oils may be used, as fragrance oils - while smelling lovely - have no such effect. Now mix together the botanicals. Pine cones, cinnamon pieces, citrus peels are a good start for this one, as well as rose hips, with evergreen needles, oak moss, and some colorful flowers thrown in to perk it up. If the fixatives have been mixed for a week or so, they can be added to the blend, and the fragrance will last for a very long time - up to a year or more. Florals would generally use more color, and the fragrances would be light and flowery. Lavender, rose geranium, and ylang ylang, for example, with some vanilla or musk to round it out. A spicy blend can be made up almost entirely of spices - cinnamon pieces, cardamom pods, allspice, coriander, ginger, cloves, etc. Orange or lemon peel look good in there. Use corresponding oils, and this blend can also be simmered. Exotic blends include lots of vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, and/or musk. Colors can be whatever strikes you as exotic. Finally, you can do whatever you like. Add seashells - interesting pods you find - pebbles... it's up to you! During the shortened, dark days of late fall and early winter, you'll be reminded of your original intent in creating the potpourri each time you pass it or catch a whiff of the fragrance. ------------------Author Info---------------------- Tina Sams is the editor of The Essential Herbal magazine. www.EssentialHerbal.com
2008-08-11 11:36:00	1	Makiing a Scrying Mirror	Making a Scrying Mirror		Scrying Mirror by Ajna DreamsAwake This is a simple and inexpensive project that the entire family can participate in. Children are natural scryers and this is a wonderful opportunity to create their very own Magick Mirror. This is also a great way for adults to connect with their inner child in a creative and intuitive manner. How to create a magickal scrying mirrorItems needed - oval picture frame (available at most dollar stores) - equal parts vinegar and water solution to clean the glass - newspapers - high-gloss black paint - paint brush - turpentine and rags to clean brushes Optional You may want to decorate the frame in a way that is meaningful to you. Use a glue gun to add stones, beads, feathers to the frame or you can paint magickal symbols on it. During the New Moon, gather your supplies either outside or in a well-ventilated area. Cast your circle and call on Goddesses of Divination to guide you. Hathor, Oshun, Isis, Aine and Asherah are all wonderful Goddesses to call on. Parents should supervise children during this part of the project. Spread newspapers around your work area Remove the glass from the frame Clean the glass with the vinegar/water solution and dry with newspaper Place it in the centre of the newspapers Clear your mind and pick up the black paint Paint one side of the glass from top to bottom in even strokes As you paint, visualize, whisper or say aloud your intent for this magickal tool Only paint one side of the glass Allow to dry completely before applying the next coat (drying times may vary) Apply several coats of paint, ensuring the entire surface of the glass is coated (one side only) When the paint has dried completely, return the glass to the frame Ensure the glass side is facing out Charge your mirror during the Full Moon and begin scrying. How to use your scrying mirror In a darkened room, light one small candle and place behind the mirror. Hold the mirror in your hands or use a stand. Meditate on a question or chant softly until your mind is focussed. Call upon Goddesses of Divination to assist you. Cast doubt from your mind, expect to see images and it will happen. Gaze into the blackness of the mirror rather than focussing on the glass surface. Do not blink the eyes more than is necessary. Too much blinking breaks concentration, staring too hard can cause eye strain. Do not let your gaze wander from the mirror. If you are experiencing some difficulty, try to visualize the blackness as infinite space and project your gaze several feet into the blackness. It may take some practice to achieve results but it is worth the effort. Limit your scrying time to 15 minutes until you get results. Scrying is a valuable tool to connect with the inner workings of the sub-conscious. Happy Scrying!!!!

2007-04-30 12:40:50	1	Making A Besom	How To Make Your Own Besom		"Making a Besom" design & creation by: Edain McCoy Here are some easy to follow directions for handcrafting your own besom by Edain. If you would like a Besom of your own, they are fairly easy to find in craft stores, country markets, or folk art fairs. You can also invest your energies into making one, a good idea if you wish to use it in place of a Wand or other ritual tool. To make a Besom you will need a four-foot dowel one inch in diameter, a ball of twine, scissors, and straw or other long strands of pliable herbs. Take the straw, or another herb you have chosen for the bristles, and allow them to soak overnight in warm, lightly salted water. The water softens the straws to make them pliable, and the salt soaks out former energies. When you are ready to make your Besom, remove the straws from the water and allow them to dry a bit, but not so much that they lose the suppleness you will need to turn them into your Besom. Find a work area where you can lay out the length of your dowel, and begin lining the straws alongside the dowel. Starting about three inches from the bottom, lay the straws, moving backward, along the length of the dowel. Begin binding these to the dowel with the twine. You will need to tie them very securely. You can add as many layers of straw as you wish, depending on how full you would like your Besom to be. When the straw is secured, bend the top straws down over the twine ties. When they are all gently pulled over, tie off the straws again a few inches below the original tie. Leave the Besom overnight to allow the straw to dry. The dowel part of the Besom can be stained, painted, or decorated with Pagan symbols, your Craft name, or any other embellishments you choose. Dedicate your finished Besom in your Circle as you would any other ritual tool. ~From Edain McCoy's book "The Sabbats: A New Approach to Living the Old Ways" (C) 1994.
2006-07-04 16:04:50	1	Make Your Own Designer Blinds	Make Your Own Designer Blinds		Make Your Own Designer Blinds Instead of buying expensive vertical or mini blinds, choose a wallpaper of your choice or to match existing wallpaper and use a mixture of 50/50 water and Elmer's glue. Cut the paper the length of your blinds and brush the paste mixture on the back of the paper and lay the blinds next to each other and cut between with a razor blade. Turn them over and press the paper down and they are ready to hang. To remove the paper and paste, soak in the bathtub in hot water and the paper comes right off.
2006-04-27 12:27:03	1	Making Candle Wicks	Craft Idea: Making Candle Wicks		Making Candle Wicks What you will need; Several feet of cotton string (depending on if you are making tapers or jars will need to be from 2 ft long to inches, cut to fit) Thickness does matter, if it's too thick, it will never burn up. If it's too small, it won't be able to wick up the wax fast enough for it to burn at a suitable rate, might take some experimentation till you find the best material. You will also need a double boiler. Or a saucepan with a metal bowl or can that sits inside it. If you try to melting your wax right over your heat source it end up burning & may catch on fire. Bring the water in the bottom pan to a boil, making sure the water isn't hitting the can. While you're waiting for your water to boil, spread out some news paper & tape it down. Makes for less hassle while you're working. After your water has a fairly good boil; add the inner pan with the wax and turn down heat. While your wax is melting, on low heat, let’s get wicks ready. Now coat your wick with wax to stiffen it, I like to let it set & soak up the wax for about 10 minutes. You might need to poke it down in the wax with something like a fork. Slowly take it out, hold it above your pan to allow excess wax drain off. Then slowly move it over your newspaper. Keep in a Ziploc bag until needed. Contributed by: Silver (Grand Rapids, MI)
