Dream Spell Satchet

Dream spells are some of the first spells I've ever done and the ones that I have the most success with. Here is my recipe (generally).

Herbs:

Lavender (calm and protection)

Chamomile (sleep and calm)

Mugwort (psychic abilities and connecting with the divine)

Vervain (sleep and psychic abilities)

Rosemary (for remembering dreams)

Crystals:

Selenite (sleep)

Amethyst (psychic protection)

Clear Quartz (to amplify spell)

Miscellaneous:

2 bags or cloths and string for the sachet (preferably black, blue, white, or purple, but anything on hand will work!)

candle (can be the same colors as the bag but anything will work)

paper and pen

lavender essential oil (can use a sleep blend or chill pill, something that will calm you to sleep)

Set up:

I like to do my spellwork on top of mirrors so that the mirrored image of the spell is on there, but this isn't necessary. I usually do spell work with an offering, so I will offer incense or water to whichever god I'm working with before spellwork. For dreamwork I mostly work with Tehuti and Nut. Do whatever you need to do to prepare yourself for spellwork and make sure you have all items on hand.

Steps:

Incense and water offering with prayer

Light the candle

Add all herbs to one bag or cloth. (I like to use ones that don't have any holes). Say aloud what each herb's purpose is. Tie the bag and place it inside the other bag.

Add the selenite and the amethyst to the larger bag, saying aloud the purpose of each stone.

Draw symbols of dreams/the gods that you would like. I always draw the Eye of Ra and Horus. I also usually draw an ibis for Tehuti. I've also done some stars for Nut in the past. You can also make sigils if you'd like.

Write a petition with a prayer for what you want. *(I'll add an example below.) Fold the petition towards you however many times you'd like. I usually do three or four. On the last fold, don't center the fold so that one edge is over the body of the paper. Use the wax to seal the petition. Blow on it and/or add spit to set the wax. (I like to use spit for the creative properties and to make the spell "mine.")

Add the papers to the spell

Add the clear quartz, saying aloud the purpose for it.

Tie off the bag, then add the essential oil to it.

Place under your pillow and drift off to dreamland.

Mundane ways to help you dream more:

Take melatonin, drink or smoke mugwort before bed.

Cut back on drugs and alcohol

Keep a dream journal beside your bed and write down any dreams you had the second you wake up

Before you fall asleep at night, think of a different dream that you had that you remember

Set an alarm 1-2 hours before you wake up to wake you up slightly before falling back asleep again (this one works like a charm for me)

Keep a consistent sleep schedule

*Example Petition:

Dua Tehuti, You Who keeps all the great secrets,

May I be your student and learn Your great knowledge.

As I close my eyes to sleep, my dreams will be vivid,

When I open my eyes to wake, my dreams will be remembered.

Dua Tehuti, You who is great of heka, Who's words make it so,

Let this be so!

I know, moon pics from camera phones are always crap. But it's important in it's graininess. I did some big spell work this past full moon. The most energy and time intense I've done in probably a decade. I came up with it from scratch, I did it over the two nights the moon was fullest and it felt like I was setting things into motion for a long time to come. The path was being cleared. And then for the next two weeks I didn't see the moon at all. Not a single night of the waning cycle was it visible. We had a lot of cloudy nights and it was setting before full dark. It felt like I had taken the moon out of the sky for a little while, asked it to lend its light to my work for a few weeks. Last night, at 2:30am it started torrentially down pouring with the loudest, closest thunder we've had in a while. It felt really important that I sit out on the porch and watch the rain, a new moon storm, a big concentration of energy coming into our space. I was able to collect thunderstorm/new moon water for the third cycle in a row and I used it to water the plants I had taken parts from for the spell. It felt like giving the moon back, like completing the work that had been opened two weeks ago, putting it down into the earth and the moon back up into the sky so that things can go forward again. And tonight I managed to catch the moon, my favorite birth-phase sliver of a waxing cresent. Sometimes the messages we receive are coded and hidden and sometimes that are plain and simple and clear.
