Dream A (Sweet) Little Dream Shower Sachet

A shower sachet for those pre-bedtime showers, to help call forth positive dreams and your ability to recall them (and to ward off nightmares).

What IS a shower sachet? A small sachet that you hang around your shower head so that the water pours down, over the sachet, and onto you. This spell can easily be transferred to a bath sachet… I just don’t have a bathtub :)

Tools:

Mugwort- for lucid or prophetic dreams

Marshmallow Root- to protect and ward off nightmares

Rosemary- to aid in your ability to recall your dreams

Sage- to protect and to call forth healing in dreams

Chamomile- to soothe to sleep

Lavender- to relax and soothe anxieties that cause nightmares

Bay Leaves- to shield from bad dreams

Amethyst- to provide clarity in your dreaming

A sachet

To Use:

Fill the sachet with your herbs and amethyst.

Hang the sachet over your shower head, and turn the water to your desired temperature. Take some time to call on any deities you may worship and ask them for sweet dreams tonight.

Shower as normal! Use this time to cleanse yourself of the energies of the day. Visualize the negative energy- anything that could manifest in nightmares- swirling down the drain.

Visualize the water bouncing off the amethyst, all the water that touches your head purging your mind of the stuff of nightmares, washing it down and away.

Take some time to focus on what you’d like to dream about. If you need answers, now is the time to ask your questions. If you have nightmares you’d like to stay away tonight, cleanse yourself of them and take away their power.

Make sure to fully stomp (literally or figuratively) any negativity down the drain.

Turn off the shower and thank any deities you may worship for their aid in cleansing you, and thank them preemptively for the sweet sleep you’ll be basking in tonight. If you don’t worship any deities, simply take time to be thankful :)

Get some much needed sleep, and delight in the absence of nightmares.

Write down any dreams you do recall in a dream journal or something similar!

Unusual Ingredients For Love Spells

I find myself getting tired of using the same ingredients for spells over and over. Of course, these staple items have been used so frequently by various people and traditions for a reason, sometimes I think it’s just fun and helpful to grow your practice by changing it up. So, here are some things I have used in works that aren’t typical in love magick.

1) Strawberry Leaves- I find these especially helpful in spells that are trying to attract NEW love to a person. Strawberries are associated with love, playfulness, and innocence and although you may be trying to cultivate a romantic/sexual relationship, the foundation of long-lasting relationships is friendship, which strawberry leaves are great for!

2) Kool-Aid- Yes, I actually mean Kool-Aid. In love spells flavors to be used could be cherry, strawberry, or even pink lemonade. Similar to strawberries Kool-AId is associated with innocence and childlike love. If you are interested in drawing a partner to you that is playful and able to laugh at themselves this could be a great thing to sprinkle onto your candles or put in your mojo/spell bags. It also could be used like I mentioned before to ground a relationship in friendship and childlike purity.

3) Cotton Candy- Need to sweeten someone up? Cotton candy will do it for you. Using this in a work could be as complex as melting it down and using the syrup for various bottle/jar spells, or even as simple as putting it on your tongue, letting it melt, and commanding someone to be sweet to you. This could be used for new love, rekindling love, or even just keeping someone around.

4) Maraschino Cherries- These things are super sweet so using the cherry or the syrup could be used to sweeten someone or something to be swayed in your favor. Cherries are also associated with sexual desire and could be used in spells associated with that.

5) Chili Peppers- Use this one with extreme caution. I would not personally advise anyone to use these when doing one for new love but they definitely could be used to speed something up, or spice up a relationship if things are getting dull.
