Witchcraft is a practice beyond the bounds of ourselves and a practice held by many all over this beautiful Earth. Herbal Magic , in all of its forms, is powerful, practical, and higly versatile. For example, crafting seasonal charms in line with the Sun and Moon, or planting seeds of intention into the Earth and visiting them throughout a growth cycle to bring new energy into your life.

The incant intent is to instruct a spell of its purpose. This can be done audibly, by speaking or singing, silently, by forming words in our heads, or by writing or drawing - for instance, in the form of sigil, rune, or note. It is important to note the role that belief plays in magic.

Magical tools

The jar could serve as a n element of the final spell, not just as a toll used in the crafting process. The jar itself houses energies, rather than merely channeling them. Woods, spoon, candles, an herb bundle might be a spell in and of itself, or it might be used as a tool to cleanse a space before a working.

Incense and herb bundles are another tool commonly used to cleanse a space. However, they can also be used to bring just about any kind of energy into a space. They have a multifaceted function, as they can be worked as spells in their own right.

The energetic classification of an herb is often broken down into three main categories: the gender, the element, and the planet. The witch and the herb fit together like the wind and the rain. Herbs are all around us, making them one of the most accessible magical ingredients you will come across.

Practicing in harmony with the season and the moon is essential. Lets talk about Basil, which is my favorite not just for cooking and spells.

Basil

Masculine, Fire, Mars, Love - Protection - Prosperity - Healing

Basil makes a powerful addition to love spells and is filled with loving energies. Basil proves quite useful in attracting wealth. Basil also ties readily to strength and can be carried or ingested to build courage, overcome obstacles, and increase mental fortitude.

Choosing the right preparation for each working is a vital skill for spellcraft. Since each preparation suits a vyriety of intentions and uses, there is a great deal of flexibility in your choices.

how to cause the spell with infusions

Place your herbs into your desired cup. Take some time to infuse your intent into the herbs in whatever fashion suits you best. Pour the boiling water over the herbs and allow them to sit for 20 minutes. You may wish to stir herbs while visualizing, incanting, or sensing your energy going to the spell. Allow the tea to set the energy for the space. Continue nourish tea cup with your energy until it feels right.

Enjoy your time with yourself, Witch!
