Color of the day: Red Incense of the day: Cinnamon 1 cup of potting soil 1 cup of spring water a pinch of salt a pinch of cinnamon 3 white votive candle a small pan a small bowl a wooden spoon 1. Place the soil, water, salt, and cinnamon in the pan and bring it to a boil on your stove. Use a wooden spoon to stir in a widdershins motion as the mixture begins to bubble. This keeps the mixture from overcooking. (To stir it UP, you'd be using a deosil motion.) As you stir, chant softly: Water, Earth, Fire, and Air, give to me a thing most fair. 2. Take the pan from the stove and pour the mixture into the bowl. Place the bowl on a table. 3. Light the three candles. Allow the candles to burn completely. 4. Take the cooled mixture and sprinkle it outside your door, or if necessary, put it in a small flower pot. As you go into "labor," think of the prepared soil and the spell that you created to control the pain or anxiety as you stirred the pot. |
