cinnamon honey self care spell
Before I get into it a note: I order my spells ingredients, instructions, witchiness, warnings, intents. read the ENTIRE SPELL RECIPE before you do it. its a NECESSITY. because these spells in particular are meant to be ingested and or topically applied to your skin, it becomes incredibly important that you know exactly what you’re doing.
Cinnamon honey anti-inflammatory mask: you need: - 2 tbsp honey - 1 tsp (or less) of cinnamon - a dash of lemon - that spoon. the one. you know. you do: 1. drizzle the honey into a bowl, however feels right. either you get the feeling or you don’t, but try not to think too hard with your front brain. that’ll help. keep drizzling until theres nothing left on *the spoon* 2. the rest of the honey on the spoon? suck it off. i mean it. take a minute, contemplate existence, let that spoon stick out of your mouth. what are you doing with your life? the spoon doesn’t know. 3. dump the cinnamon on. be messy. it’s not a very neat spice. be mean to it, it certainly will not be kind to you. try not to get cinnamon everywhere. it does not take kindly to being strewn about. a contrary little thing, isn’t it? 4. fold the honey over the cinnamon gently like a little pocket in the middle over and over. once there’s not really a visible saturation of cinnamon in any one part of the honey, stir a sigil or two in there. the chaos and calm will fight each other in your mind do not fight the dichotomy. embrace it, and in so doing, embrace yourself and your own differences. 5. you need like only a few drops of lemon. it will brighten your face. it will loosen up the texture of the honey. do not use too much, it will quickly find itself burning your skin. it will not apologize. stir gently at first, clockwise only. slowly begin to stir faster, until you are near whipping bubbles into the sticky crap in your bowl. 6. stop. be kind to your spoon. thank it. smooth over the surface of the honey. 7. apply as desired to the face, or as specifically instructed below. lick your lips clean, they will be sweet. do not leave on surpassing 15 minutes. rinse with warm water, pat dry. blow a kiss at yourself in the mirror. you cast: “Brightness of a summer day, purity shall with me stay. lemon drops, and cinnamon pops, tie my tongue all day. may blessings drip like rain, let confidence surpass all pain, so shall the blush rise in my cheeks like blooming rose, let the fall absorb my prose.” You have been warned: -cinnamon has a tendency to burn sensitive skin. you only need a little bit! -same with the lemon, but on a lesser scale. application//varies with skin sensitivity. cinnamon is a gentle exfoliant, it also tends to leave red patches on your skin (that’s what the honey is for) so if your skin is sensitive, gently apply the honey mask with the back of a spoon and do not exceed 7 minutes of application. your energy may be forgiving- your skin will not be. neither will the cinnamon. if not, rub! gently of course, in clockwise circles as they are facing yourself. focus on areas that are swollen, or breakout spots. -this will make your skin pink-red. if youre going somewhere and using this to prepare, use it a few hours before leaving. you charge: i’ve decided it’s rather irrelevant to list you the associations of the spice, of lemon, of honey. yes they have their own, but work with those, not against them. honey is very pure. it is slow, it is sweet, it is warm comfort on a cold day. cinnamon is harsh. it bites, is burns. it is hot in the way that it comforts, scares you with its intensity. lemon is clean. it is tidiness, it is smooth. it bites. bite it first.
my association with this, the way I offer it and the way I use it has to do with how it tastes. it is strong. it lives in your skin long after you wash it out. it is a spell that changes, that heats with all that it has, and protects you from the coming cold. in my experience, Artemis is particularly fond of watching me make this. she adores cinnamon. Hestia does as well. She is wary of the lemon, though.
