The first liquor recipe is the most recent one I've made and the one that made me think that these would be great for magick. I love alcohol and I love tasty things, so making liqueurs is becoming a bit of a hobby of mine. Plus they make great little gifts for all of your boozy friends which is nice since I can't just drink all of this by myself.
So anyway this first one is made by infusing gin with three simple ingredients: Lavender, vanilla, and honey. While most liqueur recipes call for simple syrup, this one does not since the honey does the work.
I generally believe that when doing magick you either want to use herbs/stones/whatever with similar uses/correspondences or one with correspondences that bring together different aspects you want to be in the spell. I try to avoid just using every correspondence something has since that tends to leave me feeling unfocused. For example, lavender has many different correspondences from mental clarity to love as well as more spiritually based ones like divination. When you make this you can use what ever correspondences you want but if you want to make recipes based on the correspondence you are looking for then I most recommend this one for issues relating to peace and romantic love.
Recipe after the cut
On to the recipe! For this you will need:
A fifth (750 mL) of gin
an ounce of lavender flowers
a cup of honey
a split vanilla bean
First you want to split the vanilla bean and scrape the little bits out. They won't do anything to the flavor but they're small enough to get through the strainer and might add some unpleasant grit. Though honestly it's not a huge deal. Once that's done mix together in a large jar the entire fifth of gin, all of the lavender, all of the honey, and the vanilla bean. Stir it up a bit and make sure everything is evenly distributed. This is a good point to awaken the magickal essences of the lavender, vanilla, and honey. Close the jar and keep it in a dark cabinet for 3 to 5 days. Once it smells strongly of lavender (day 4 did it for me), strain out everything solid and give it a good stir to get the honey mixed back in as it will probably sink to the bottom. After that you should be left with a dark brown/purple-ish liqueur that you can use in just about any cocktail that uses gin or even just sip and ounce or two straight over some ice.
Again, with the lavender, vanilla, and honey this recipe is great for promoting inner peace, self-love, or softening the heart for romantic love.
My shameless and ridiculously titled “Vanilla Spell” animatic for Storyboarding class is done! The only requirement was that an exchange had to be made.
