Herbal preparations:
The Decoction:
Solution obtained by boiling the plants in a covered saucepan for twelve to thirty minutes, then strained.
The Infusion:
Solution obtained by pouring boiling water over the chopped plants and then filtering.
Herbal teas:
Solution obtained from infusion of decoction or maceration prepared with a lot of water and very few plants.
Maceration:
Solution obtained by leaving the plants in contact with cold water, wine or oil for a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks.
The sirup:
Solution obtained by adding a large amount of sugar, up to 70%, to the infusion or decoction.
The Poultice:
Paste containing oils, starches, mucilages which are generally applied hot to the skin.
The Balm:
Fragrant resin that flows from certain plants, by extension, fatty preparation for external use that calms pain or heals.
The Ointment:
Perfumed oil based on the aromatic essence of plants.
The dye:
Solution obtained by macerating between 5 and 10 days one part of dried medicinal substance, reduced to powder in 4 parts of alcohol.
Medicinal Wines:
Solutions obtained by pouring wine over the plants in a glass container, letting the whole thing macerate and shaking it from time to time, then filtering it.
The Essential Oil:
Volatile aromatic substance obtained from plant raw material either by steam distillation preferably at low pressure or by a dry distillation process called pyrogenation, more precisely the essential oil is considered as the distilled essence of the plant and has the advantage of not containing any fatty substance.
Floral Water:
Or Hydrolat, is the condensed water vapor resulting from the distillation of an aromatic plant and / or a flower which naturally separates from the essential oil at the exit of the still and which is charged with molecules aromatic during distillation, rich in versatile active ingredients. Floral water has an aromatic molecule concentration varying between 0.05 and 0.1%. It complements and reinforces the action of the essential oil, thus allowing safe use.
The Extract:
These are aqueous or alcoholic macerations that are more or less concentrated by evaporation, in this way thick or solid fluid extracts are obtained.
Fresh Juice:
The fresh juice is obtained from crushed and pressed fresh plants. The juice obtained is put in the fridge for a day to let it settle and then it is filtered.
The powder:
Shade-dried plants are finely cut and then pulverized in a mortar. These single plants or in a mixture are sold in sachets (infusette) to make herbal teas that do not need to be strained.
The Ultimate Guide to Potion Bases
We all spend so much time thinking about the correspondences of the actual ingredients that go into our potions that we often forget to think about what the potion base represents! (At least I do.) It would be nice to have a list of all the various liquids that can be used in place of water. Naturally, I can’t think of everything but I think this is a pretty good starting point! What else can be used? Eventually, at some point down the road, I will compile all these thoughts into a book on potion making and want to include this! Keep in mind that these are my own correspondences. Let me know if you disagree or if you’d change anything up! Let’s see how big we can make this list. Also, I should probably note that not all of these liquids can be ingested. (Obviously.)
The List
Vinegar: Used for cleansing and purification potions. Lemon Juice: Used in hexing, cursing, or revenge potions. Cranberry Juice: Used in love potions. Apple Juice: Used in healing, knowledge, and youth potions. Ammonia: Used in banishing, cursing, purification, and protection Red Wine: Love potions and potions dealing with death and the afterlife. White Wine: Used in platonic love potions as well as success brews. Rum: Used in potions involving spirit work. Whisky: Another good base for potion work. Vodka: A good base for work involving rapid banishing. Laundry detergent: Good for cleansing potions. Oils: Used to speed up a process. Molasses: Used in potions intended to slow a situation down. Rubbing Alcohol: Another good base for cleansing and purification. Hydrogen Peroxide: Used in healing potions. Milk: Used in potions to promote sleep and peace. Sour Milk: Used to cause nightmares or in potions designed to torment. Orange Juice: For potions of solar importance, healing, success. Soda Water: Used in potions designed to encourage laughter and giddiness. Ginger Ale: Used in health or healing potions. Olive Juice: Used in peace potions. Honey: Used in potions to sweeten up another’s disposition. Syrup: Used in abundance and prosperity potions. Beer: Used in potions intended to induce slumber. Clam Juice: Used in aphrodisiacs. Cough Syrup: Used in healing potions and to make someone ‘cough it up.’ Soy Sauce: Used in protection potions. (Thanks Lexa Rosean for this one!) Pineapple Juice: Used in abundance potions and fidelity potions. Coconut Milk: Used in spiritual and magical cleansing potions. Ice: Solid first, then melted for transformation potions. Coffee: Really, a potion in and of itself in my book. Vanilla Extract: In small amounts, used in passion potions. Witch Hazel: Used in communication and cleansing potions.
What else can you all think of?
This right here is a quality post, everyone.
I've been practicing for 10 years this year. Wanted to thank my grandma and my mom for teaching me everything they know. And I'd like to thank my higher powers for allowing me to be with them
I'll start posting spell work and some findings soon. I want to rewrite my journals and compile everything I know into my Tumblr for all the witches of Tumblr.
Getting to work
Some new additions
Needed to preform a protection spell for my home tonight. Made 6 small jars for every room and one large jar for the heart of my home. They're all connected. I plan to post the actual spell as well with more pictures of the process.
I took some photos. But I'll be posting my spellwork tomorrow morning because it's very late where I am right now.

Witch Exercises
1) Concentration
Get a candle, any candle, doesn't matter what colour it is. Hell it can be a tealight, even a scented candle (but make sure that the candle isn't too strongly scented). Now, set a timer for two minutes, and put it aside. Light the candle and stare at the flame for two minutes. Yes, direct your entire focus and mind on that little flame. If thoughts come into your head, redirect your focus to the candle. If you wanna look somewhere else, redirect your focus to the candle (within reason of course, if you have something urgent like a parent calling you or something then answer and do this exercise later). What this does is two things - one, the flame and staring into it is believed to have properties to empower psychic abilities. 2) By doing this consistently, you have begun to learn how to push out everything else and direct your concentration into one thing (so now you can concentrate on your intent better instead of just suddenly thinking of what you need to do for dinner). RInse and repeat. No candle, then get a picture or something else suitable to you. I do this when praying, whenever I pray the Our Father on the Rosary, I focus on a picture of God as the Trinity. The Hail Marys, I focus on a picture of Mary who strikes down the dragon or Mary, Mother of Graces.
2) VIsualizatio.
Get something. It can be a vase or an apple, or even some money. Look at it for a couple of minutes, toss it around in your hands. If you have aphantasia then instead of visualizing, you would essentially just know (like instead of trying to visualize and feel energy in your body, you just know there's energy in your body. I don't believe, I know is one of the most powerful thing's I've seen.) When its done; put it down and close your eyes and form it in your mind, every detail. Know what it looks like, know its colour, know its smell, know what it feels like, know the emotions it brings, what sound would it make if it fell down, what does it taste like? Then hold that knowing or image in your head for as long as possible (again, you can set a timer for two minutes) - what this does is 1) concentrates your mind on something and accurately replicates it 2) gives you the ability that after this in spells you'll be able to better visualize because you were able to pick up how to ues the five senses in it and so on.
3) Breathing
Go to Wim Hof's youtube channel, I don't trust anyone else except him.
4) Meditation - you know that candle thing up there - yeah it was meditation. Walking around can be meditation, drawing and journalling can be meditation. When we pray the rosary; we're asked to meditate on the mysteries but I've interpreted simply as contemplating. Mindfulness is contemplating the experience of the now. Meditation is not about no focus, its about directing your focus to something (like walking, breathing, the candle flame) and letting your mind relax, clear itself out and be more receptive to trances, magick, psychic abiliies etc. prayer in itself is meditation.
