Herbal sachets

These are small bags filled with herbs and used for a specific purpose. Ex: love, luck, protection, etc. The color of the bag and the herbs held within it all pertain to your purpose or intent. You can also draw symbols on the outside of the bag(s) that pertain to your goal.

I have provided an example below for anyone that wishes to try making a sachet.

Herb and Crystal Healing Sachet

In a red or white sachet add a tablespoon of each of the following herbs(or teaspoons depending on the size of the sachet used)peppermint, sage, thyme, rosemary, and one agate or green quartz crystal. As you add the herbs and crystal(s) to the sachet, visualize each being filled with healing power. You can also say a verse to further charge the herbs and sachet with your intent.

Once the sachet is filled, place it in the bath water. As you do, visualize herbs imbuing the water with healing properties and promoting healing energy to either yourself or the individual bathing in the water. You can also add salt to the water for purification.

As you bathe you can also visualize your illness or injury being absorbed by the water and sachet.

Herbal Bath
What are they:
An herbal bath is a bath to which various herbs are added to imbue the water and the bather with a desired aspect. They are used for love, healing, improving psychic awareness, personal protection, etc.
Creation:
To create an herbal bath, add the herbs associated with your desire into either cheese cloth, a tea ball, a mesh sachet, or directly to the bath water. Allow the herbs to steep. Allow them to change the color of the water and infuse it with their scent. If you don't have a tub you can rub the sachet on your body during a shower or hang it from the shower head.
When the bath is ready, step into the tub and feel the water and the herbs empowering you with the qualities you desire. Visualize your goal and invite the qualities into yourself. In your mind's eye, see yourself already having these qualities. Soak in the water for as long as you desire.
You can also burn incense or candles associated with your desire, if you feel it will improve the spell.
I have also provided an example below to give you some ideas.
Divination Bath: Use this in a bath before performing forms of divination.
  • 3 parts Thyme
  • 2 parts Yarrow
  • 2 parts Rose
  • 1 part Patchouli
  • 1 part Nutmeg
Healing Bath: Use this bath to help speed healing.
  • 3 parts Rosemary
  • 2 parts Lavender
  • 2 parts Rose
  • 1 part Spearmint
Protection Bath: Bathe in this daily to increase protection.
  • 2 parts Bay
  • 2 parts Dill
  • 1 part Lavender
  • 1 part Marigold
Love Bath:
  • 3 parts Rose Petals
  • 2 parts Rosemary
  • 1 part Violet

Peppercorn Protection:
Crush an odd number of peppercorns, as you crush them focus on their energy both filling and surrounding your home with protective energies.
Once the corns are crushed place them in a small glass jar or bottle and add either pins or needles. Place a cap or cork on the bottle and place it out of sight in a room that you would consider the heart of your home.
Simple Bay Leaf Spell:
Bay, much like sage, can be used to clear an area of negative energies and help quiet spirit activity. The following is a very simple spell that can be used to do both.
Find a large bay leaf, and with a fine tipped marker, write down any negative influence in your life. As you write visualize all of your problems going into the bay leaf. Once done, burn the bay leaf and as the leaf burns visualize it destroying the negativity and the issue or negative influence that is troubling you.
Purification Spray:
This spray can be used to purify both objects and people.
Mix together the follow in a spray bottle to help get rid of bacteria, germs, negativity, etc. The oils have both natural antimicrobial properties and are associated with the magical properties of cleanings and banishing negativity. Thus, they can be used for both physical and spiritual purification.
  • 30 drops of tea tree oil
  • 40 drops of pure lavender essential oil
  • 1 ounce food-grade alcohol
  • 1 ounce witch hazel
  • 3 ounces triple distilled water
Mix the ingredients together and use this spray to clean surfaces, hands, ritual space, etc.
You could also use rosemary, orange, lemongrass, or ecucalypt6us essential oils in place of lavender.
