Spell Sachet: Peaceful Sleep
A simple spell sachet to promote deep, restorative sleep and protect from bad dreams. I used components and ingredients I had on hand- a bag a crystal was shipped in, herbs from my kitchen, and, because I only have black and white candles, a colored candle holder. As always, substitute any and everything to suit your own craft and needs.
Components
Candles
Black candle (night, protection, safety)
Blue holder (harmony, healing, tranquility)
Crystals
Amethyst (calm, fear, sleep)
Clear Quartz (amplifies the power of the spell)
Optional: Crystals to charge the sachet (I used quartz, black tourmaline-included quartz, and amethyst)
Herbs
Basil (protection, tranquility)
Dill (protection, defense)
Lavender (peace, protection, purification, sleep)
Parsley (protection, purification)
Thyme (healing, purification, sleep)
Essential Oils
Optional: Bergamot (anxiety, stress, fear)
Misc. Supplies
Small fabric bag or jar (I used a purple satin bag)
Optional: A jar or small container to mix your herbs in
How to Cast the Spell
I suggest casting this spell at night, somewhere you feel cozy and safe. I chose on the hearth of my fireplace. As you interact with and add the various components in this spell, take time to understand why you are using it and appreciate what it brings to the spell. Follow and trust your intuition when it comes to the ratio of the various ingredients.
Calm and focus yourself, then light your candle.
Placing your mixing container (or jar) in the center of your workspace/altar. Optionally, surround it with the crystals you wish to charge the spell with.
Add your herbs to your container, the amethyst and quartz crystals, and, optionally, a few drops of your essential oils.
Mix the components together, however you see fit. I put the lid on the jar and shook it, to really combine the herbs and allow the crystals to be charged by the sound of them hitting the sides of the jar.
Tie your bag shut (or seal your jar). This is an excellent opportunity to practice some knot magic when tying the bag shut. If using a jar, you can seal it with wax.
Optionally, charge your sachet/jar with your crystals. I laid my bag atop an amethyst cluster, with my favorite black tourmaline-included quartz point on top. Small quartz crystals created a line to the candle.
Focus your intent into the sachet/jar. You can chant, meditate, practice visualization, whatever you wish.
Once charged, place your sachet/jar somewhere in your bedroom, near your bed. Before you sleep each night, hold and smell the sachet.
Recharge the spell sachet whenever you feel it is losing effectiveness. You may want to refresh the sachet ingredients or recast the spell when it begins to lose its scent.
