It's holiday time-which means traveling, be it journeys to visit family, shopping trips, or just being outdoors and enjoying the sights and sounds and scents of the season. With so many people out and about, a travel talisman is in order. Back when folks traveled mainly on foot, it was customary to pop a few herbs into one's boots to ensure a safe journey.
Make a sachet to slip into your shoes (when you're not wearing them) to freshen them up and charge them with travel-friendly energy. Mix together equal amounts of mugwort (to prevent weariness), comfrey (for safety and protection), and mint (refreshing and hospitable), with this incantation: "Near and far, By foot or car, Keep me safe where I go. I will it be so!" Place the mixture in black ( protective) pouches and tuck them into your shoes-just remember to take them out before wearing! |
