Sleep Tight Spell Bag
This spell bag is designed to bring sweet dreams, deep, restful sleep, and to protect from all negative energies.
INGREDIENTS:
- rose quartz chips (sleep, calmness)
- poppy seeds (sleep)
- dried lavender buds (peace, protection)
- star anise (protection, sleep)
- dried sage (protection)
- sandalwood incense
- lavender incense
- jasmine incense
- a small bag/sachet
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Prepare your altar/working space as you usually would. Ground and centre yourself, and cast a circle, invoking any deities you wish to work with, if any.
2) When you feel ready, you may begin. Place a few rose quartz chips into the bag, whilst saying the following: “Rose quartz, to calm my racing mind.”
3) Place a pinch of poppy seeds into the bag, whilst saying the following: “Poppy seeds, for deep, restful sleep.”
4) Place a generous pinch of dried lavender buds into the bag, and say the following: “Lavender, for sweet dreams, free from worry.”
5) Place a single star anise in the bag, whilst saying the following: “Star anise, to protect my sleeping spirit and mind.”
6) Place a pinch of sage into the bag, and say the following: “Sage, to protect my physical form as I rest, from all harm, and negative energies.”
7) Hold the bag in both hands, over the smoke of sandalwood, lavender, and jasmine incense, and recite the following incantation:
“A wall of white
and pure light
surround me as I sleep so tight.
No nightmares may enter,
nor evil pervade,
for only goodness exists where I lay.
And when I awake,
in day, or in night,
I am rested, and calm, and filled with might.
The might to go out,
and live so carefree.
As I will, so mote it be.”
8) Close the bag, and feel free to end the ritual as you usually would, closing the circle, and making sure all lit candles and incense are safely snuffed out.
USE AND CARE
Your spell bag is now ready to use! Simply lay it under your pillow, to ensure a good night’s sleep.
I would recommend cleansing and charging it once a week, by holding it over the smoke of sandalwood, lavender, and jasmine incense, and reciting the aforementioned incantation.
Once you can no longer smell the lavender and star anise, it is time to make a fresh one.
CONSIDERATIONS
Please remember that if you do not have access to any of the ingredients for this spell, you may substitute for whatever you feel will work. Don’t have any lavender, but always think rosemary gives off a peaceful vibe? Go for it! If you can’t find incense, you can always substitute with scented candles, too.
As with any spell involving incense, PLEASE be careful! Make sure to have a jar of water nearby just in case things get out of hand, and keep your burner well away from anything flammable.
If you are having serious trouble sleeping, or handling intense, consistent nightmares, please see a doctor. Magick is not a replacement for medical help.
I hope you all enjoyed this little spell! I have definitely had really great results with my little bag, and I wish you all the best when making your own.
Blessed be,
