TONKA BEANS Caution! NON-EDIBLE One of the more potent and enduring potpourri fixatives. Truly a classic! Using a very sharp knife, slice a bean into small slivers and toss with desired fragrance or essential oil. Pulverize bean even more, if desired, with a mortar and pestle prior to adding scent. Allow several days or more for bean to absorb the oil, then add selected decorative elements. Tonka beans have a slightly vanilla-scented essence, but can alter and blend with nearly any other scent. Wellcat's Renaissance Rogue potpourri relies on Tonka beans as part of its unique and long-lasting aroma. TURMERIC POWDER
VALERIAN ROOT C/S
A calming herb, Valerian is said to relieve insomnia, ease muscle tension,
and provide aid during periods of extreme emotional stress, as well as to relieve gas
pains & stomach cramps. A commonalthough unpleasantly scented--ingredient in
sleep/dream pillows. A tea of 1 Teaspoon Valerian Root to one cup of water may be taken
one time per day, usually at bed time. VANILLA BEANS WHOLE
WHITE
SAGE WHOLE
LEAF
Burned as incense and known for its charm as a gift to newlyweds or as a housewarming present to dispel past auras and to welcome higher energies. Magick Uses: For healing, purification, obtaining wisdom & protection. Can also be used to anoint wishing amulets or sachets. WHITE WILLOW BARK C/S
For centuries, a derivative of White Willow Bark (salicum) was used to break fevers, soothe headaches, and reduce pain and swelling in arthritic joints. The synthetic version--which we know as aspirin--can cause stomach irritation, whereas White Willow contains tannins, which are actually good for the digestive system. Brew a cup of tea as needed.
