☀️Magical Smoking 🌙
The creation and use of herbal cigarettes in magic and the mundane. By. The Darkest of Lights ( Samantha Piña)
An introduction to the use of herbal cigarettes (HC) ; the HC are great for travail , you can smoke these when you wish to relax, before trance work, to create spiritual wards. These are safe to smoke ; caution they may cause you to have visions or feel light headed almost a heightened sense of magic.
**pregnant women shouldn’t be smoking, and I would assume it’s common sense to not smoke around them as some of these herbs can be harmful to them. - make sure any herb wont effect any medicines so ask your doctor if you are un sure.
Instruments needed - - rolling machine - rolling papers - paper rolling tips - mortar / pestle -you can use a pip / hookah/ or vaporizer _you can even drink the mixtures in tea
~ Herbs suggested ~ . ~Coltsfoot (medicine: cold & cough / magic: hedgecrossing & spirit-sight), ~;Spearmint (medicine: stimulant / magic: healing & psychic powers), ~
Skullcap: medicine; calming , antispasmodic , relieve cramps, muscle pain from stress, good for insomnia Magical: love, fidelity,peace, used in spells of relaxation) ~Wild Lettuce (medicine: sedative magic: hedgecrossing), and ~Wormwood (medicine: euphoric & stimulant / magic: hedgecrossing & necromancy). ~mugwort : euphoric, stimulant , hedge crossing, divination ~damiana(Medicine Influences: Aperient, Antiseptic, Aphrodisiac, Aromatic, Bitter, Diuretic, Hormonal, Laxative, Nervine, Stimulant, Tonic. )(magical : burned to produce visions, promote psychic dreams). · ~Catnip adds a relaxing note to the smoking mixture.

~Steps ~ Step 1: Choose your herb blend then grind the herbs together thoroughly mixing them together. Step 2: Use the paper rolling tips that will serve as a filter and will help steady air flow and create a smooth burning cigarette. Step 3: Use the cigarette machine and firmly place the filter into one side of the machine then fill the extra space with your herbal mixture. Step 4: Close the now filled machine and roll it twice to pack in the herbal mix. Then introduce the rolling paper into the machine with the glue edge out. Then roll the machine towards yourself. Step 5: Once the paper is almost fully inside lick the glue edge then finish rolling the machine. Step 6: Congratulations! You’ve made an herbal cigaret!
— suggestions — You can draw sigils and spells on the rolling paper to add power, make cigarets with certain magical intentions.
~ 🍃🍂if there’s any further questions feel free to ask me. Source: {Earl Mindells Herb Bible} , [cunninghams encyclopedia of Magical Herbs],( the rodale herb book) [ green Witchcraft by Ann moura] For additional magic, you can wright sigils on the inside of the rolling papers to activate them. You can make a protection mix, a divination mix, and many more.
These are a few ways you can use herbal cigarettes in witchcraft. :)🔮
- you can draw sigils onto the paper to release your intent/ activate the sigil. - you can combine the magical properties of the safe to smoke herbs together and make the cigarette an instant spell, that will activate when you smoke it. - you can use color magic by choosing a certain colored paper when rolling your cigarettes - you can use them as smoke offerings to the gods - you can make mixes for warding away spirits

Smoking Herbs 🌿🍃✨
I’ve been smoking herbal cigarettes lately, as well as mixing herbs into my bowl when I smoke cannabis! I wanted to write a little post about my favorite smokable herbs, I am not super experienced so these are mainly just my current favorites!
For me, smoking is a great grounding and centering exercise. The deep breathing and visuals of the smoke really help me calm down during tough times.
🌹Rose: Rose is my favorite flavor for smoking, it adds a lovely aftertaste to whatever you mix it with. Rose is mainly used in love spells, making it useful for self love as well!
🍃Mugwort: Used for divination and lucid dreaming. For me, it puts me in a dreamy, hazy mood. It amplifies your psychic abilities, making it easier to astral project, connect with a higher power, and more activities requiring an open mind.
🌸Lavender: Calms and relieves stress, lavender is also used in spells that involve love. Smoking lavender is great for a mix of aromatherapy and breathing exercises for stress relief. Breathe in, take in the smell and taste of the lavender, and breathe out any stress or negative energy.
🌼Chamomile: Relaxing, relieves stress, promotes restfulness! Chamomile relaxes the mind and body, helping to melt away anxiety. If you have trouble sleeping, try smoking chamomile with a base mix (mullein/red raspberry/etc) to calm you down before bed!
🌿Mint: Smoking mint makes me feel so clean! It clears out your respiratory system and leaves a lovely taste behind. In spells, mint is used for healing and purification.
My favorite mixes:
Lavender, chamomile, mugwort, mullein for good rest
Chamomile, rose, lavender, cannabis for general calm and stress relief
Mint+ anything
Rose+ anything
~ s m o k i n g b l e n d ~
popular demand bringing this from my private stash to my etsy shop. ((((this is one of my standard blends. a base of damiana (uplifting, relaxing) & mullein (restorative action on the lungs) with raspberry (for taste & body), skullcap, marshmallow root (these two relaxing herbs blend well with damiana), and peppermint (just a pinch for flavor).))))

🌿 Astral Travel Herbal Tea + Smoke Blend 🌿
Did you know that you can receive divine guidance as you rest?
Astral travel is an interpretation of an out-of-body experience that assumes the existence of an “astral body”; separate from the physical body but still attached by a silver thread of light and capable of traveling far from the body. Astral projection or travel denotes the astral body leaving the physical body to travel in an astral plane. It can be a very moving experience and one that can change the rest of your life. You can also meet other Astral projections while traveling.
I have made a list of herbs and stones that will help guide you in your preparation for Astral Travel. ((Request more free herbal tea and smoke blend recipes from me if interested)
Mugwort ~ considered the Nature Witches best friend in dream magick. Its powers are prophetic dreams and psychic powers. She aids in astral projection by protecting travelers. She helps to support the immune system and helps with menstrual cramps.
Valerian Root ~ known for its ability to induce sleep and help people with insomnia fall asleep faster. It can be used to have incredible prolific lucid dreams as well too! its been said to help you treat joint pain and headaches as well as depression.
Mullein ~ wards off evil spirits and nightmares while you sleep.
Peppermint ~ can support dream quality and can make the scene more vivid and ‘alive’.
Chamomile ~ lovely, gentle, calms the nervous system + smooths digestion
Passionflower ~ peaceful, calm + helps you to relax an overall supreme relaxing herb, one that puts an active mind and body to ease.
Damiana ~ lust, sex magic, attracting love, open chakras and increase psychic abilities

Can u tell us what you smoke and the benefits/uses of smoking those specific herbs?
I took on smoking later on, in life as in my practice, and only ever do it for magical or ritual purposes. Mostly, I would say it is to feed the spirit-nature. It is an acknowledgement, a recognition, as well as an offering. The act takes some effort from me, and is not without its consequences. I perceive it as a sort of sacrifice. I make my blends myself, with plants I can control the provenance of, and am fairly partial about the taste and smell of the smoke - hence why, from a recreational perspective, I’ve also been quite fond of certain flavored cigarillos. The whole endeavor does not lack in irony.
I will smoke my personal recipes, all given (or rather, gifted) to me at propitious times, sweet knowledge pulled from the Wyrd. I compose them based on a ratio of 3, 2 and 1 parts - 3 for the base, 2 for the modifier, and 1 for the flavor.
Meet Me At The Crossroads encompasses Mullein, Mugwort, Raspberry Leaves, Marshmallow Leaves, Rose, Lavender and Peppermint. It is a general blend for versatile applications.
Once In A Blue Moon is made of Mullein, Marshmallow Leaves, Blue Lotus, Lavender, Aniseed and Sage. It is a calming and soothing mix.
The Forked Tongue is a strong cunning and spicy blend with a rich flavor, to command and compell. It is made of Hawthorn Berries, Wormwood, Rose, Cloves, Fennel, Licorice, Cocoa Powder and Snake Skin.
Lately, I have been more simple - mullein and vervain.
All of the above, to me, work better in a pipe.
Isn’t that the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?

50 witchy things to do in quarantine:
cleanse your house thoroughly
banish any unwanted energies
put some time into making solid wards
rearrange/cleanse your altar space and tools
take inventory of your supplies
make new batches of sun and moon waters (and any salts, tinctures, etc. you like to keep on hand)
start a dream journal now that you have the time
find a witchy article or book on somewhere like JSTOR and learn something new (and tell other witches about it)
try kitchen witchcraft if you haven’t already
create a new sigil or charm to display in your house
bless or add a glamor to an item in your home (ex. adding a glamour to a centerpiece so the food always looks good or to the welcome mat so people don’t notice the messes so much)
send a blessing to those who are helping (and donations, if you can)
or perhaps jinx, hex, curse, or bind those doing harm
set aside time each day to meditate– it’s the perfect time to start such a habit!
leave an offering to or commune with a spirit or deity you have not in a while due to time constraints
try a type of magic you are interested in, but struggle with
practice with your divination tools to get better at them
update your grimoire with things you’ve been meaning to write down
make a crystal grid of your own
make your own pendulum and board
make your own oracle deck
using the items you already have, make a new powder, oil, or tincture for an intent you have often
make a sigil and set it as your phone background
paint your phone case with a sigil, a symbol, or a color coordinated with your intention (use acrylic and then coat it in mod podge!)
create a new talisman
write a hymn or incantation
create a playlist to listen to during witchy things
buy a service from a local witch if you can afford to– many are in need of money right now, especially
draw, paint, or sculpt a deity you worship and add it to your altar
use notecards to write down and categorize things you have for each basic intention (ex. write down all of the herbs, crystals, etc. you have for love, for money, etc. so you never have to sit and think hard on what you can use– it’s a quick-reference for yourself)
write down your favorite spells or ones that you want to try
in your school or work space, add a sigil or charm for productivity, focus, or stress-relief
make a new sachet for sleep
contact a witch friend and facetime them to meditate together or do readings for each other. it’s important to stay in touch!
make shoebox, on-the-go, or pocket altars so when quarantine is over you’ll keep your practice up in daily life
write yourself affirmation cards or letters to open in a month/year/whenever you like
make your own runes
enchant a piece of clothing or jewelry for stress-relief or motivation
learn more about your own natal chart
transfer the info you look for in your grimoire most often to make a quick-reference book of the most important pages for yourself
learn about the plants and trees around your house and their properties
sit in your yard for a little while and enjoy nature and it’s sounds
open your curtains and blinds and windows to let in a little fresh air and sun into the house
start journaling– being in-tune with yourself will improve you as a witch
write letters or send care packages to witchy friends with things like bay leaves, sigils, and kind notes
on your next grocery run, grab some seeds or plants and plant whatever is in season where you are. try something that can grow in your windowsill, if you’re new! this is a way to have sustainable ingredients for your witchcraft that has no pesticides and is cultivated with your energy.
alternatively, get flower seeds and plant them around your home. this will also give you a reason to step outside to tend to them from time to time.
learn a new song or hymn and perform it as an offering to your deity of choice
make a list of this year’s dates of full and new moons, transits, and holidays and mark them in your calendar or put them in the notes of your phone
take the time to monitor your own energy and take care of yourself <3
