Psychic Affinity Enhancing Smoke/Tea/Bath Blend
My primary use for this herbal blend is smoking, I have started regularly adding this to sativa cannabis. You can use this blend as a tea to receive the same effects, though I’m unsure of how it will taste. What this blend will actually do for you is calm and soothe, help you remember your dreams, and can induce lucid dreaming if used before bed. It is up to you to bring deep breaths and really tune in to yourself and what your body tells you during/after your session to experience heightened psychic ability.
Lavender: I add this for its cooling, calming effects. Dried lavender flowers are used to prepare a series of natural remedies for antiseptic, calming, relaxing and nerve stimulating effects. They are used in cases of digestive disorder, as a flavouring and corrective agent, in hypertension, cardiac affections, headaches, insomnia, as a sleep aid, and more. Associated with protection, purification, calming, love, and money.
Calendula: for me this is like a mood enhancer, so I’ll add it to my smoking blends to increase my high and bring positivity. Calendula can be used to remove negative energy. The oil can be used to consecrate tools, and the petals can be used as part of an incense for divination, or sprinkled on the floor under the bed to bring prophetic dreams. Also anti inflammatory, and I use in baths. Visually it is yellowish skinny flower petals. The plant has a long association with Samhain, and the Mexican Day of the Dead celebrations, and can be used at remembrance ceremonies as well as funerals and rites for the deceased, as well as for magic to remember deceased loved ones, in particular partners.
Uva ursi (Bearberry/Kinnikinick): Native Americans were known to use Bearberry and other herbs in religious ceremonies. In this circumstance it was utilized as a smudge or smoked in a pipe, with the smoke of the burned herbs carrying the smoker`s prayers to their ancestors. The leaves ingested in a tea are believed to increase psychic abilities and divination in modern magic. Powdered herb can be sprinkled around the alter area or into burning candles in divination rituals, and leaves can be made into sachets to help increase psychic ability during meditation. Use this herb to wash your talismans or amulets, in healing spells to increase their potency or to induce visionary dreams. Associated with purification, awareness, joy, boundaries, and clearing blockages.
Mugwort: The active compound in mugwort is thujone, an oil also found in wormwood. Consumed orally or by inhaling mugwort herb smoke or aromatic oil, mugwort can improve dream recall and sometimes induce lucid dreams when used shortly before bed. Some people recommend smoking mugwort and taking it as tea simultaneously to enhance its effects, or wrapping fresh mugwort in an aromatic dream pillow so you can inhale its active constituents as you drift off to sleep. Let it be known the tea is very bitter! Associated with clairvoyance, magical Workings, astral travel, and dreams.
Mullein: The flowers have a honey-like scent and a sweet taste. The name mullein itself is derived from the Latin word "mollis" which means soft, and the herb itself looks fluffy. Mullein leaves are believed to have sedative and euphoric properties. This has also been used to treat migraines and long lasting headaches. Associated with courage, protection, health, love, and divination. Wormwood: This is the plant used to brew the alcoholic drink absinthe. Overall it is a relaxant. It really stimulates the brain to create a peaceful and calming feeling. Wormwood can also be used as a light anaesthetic. It is commonly used to give relief to menstrual cramps and headaches. Smoked these effects will be stronger but short lasting, if you want long lasting pain relief I suggest making a tea with wormwood, which I have not tried but have heard is quite bitter. Associated with psychic powers, calling spirits, love, and protection.
**HERBS BURN FASTER THAN WEED, DO NOT PULL ON YOUR JAY OR PIPE AS HARD**
Feel free to leave out or add any herbs you like and let me know how the blend works for you! I’ve read wonderful things about smoking calamus root and I’m about to try adding yarrow soon. For the record I am not encouraging anyone to smoke, and do so at your own risk.
Peace be.
