Yes it’s easier with Rosemary but yes they need to be dry to burn but it’s kinda a pain for me to tie. My tie didn’t come out that great it was kinda lose. Maybe there’s someone that knows how to tie well and has a tortorial? Or probably you heard this before practice makes perfect.
I just criss crossed them and they turned out okay. I don’t know how they get it so perfect but you don’t have to tie it into a bundle. In fact the you have an offering is great in the cauldron. I love a good presentation and want my craft to look the best. I really love using the charcoal with Crushed Pinecone. Yo must use a mort and petal. Then add some essential oils to blend inn some woody smells! I have a recipe I would have to look but I got from Entering Hecates Garden
Cyndi Brannen In fact I posted it once. Pretty sure this is off the top of my head.
I love burning cinnamon brooms sometimes they get old and well it’s one way to recycle Save the ashes because it’s good to make black salt.

Sorry to be a bit confused, here. It’s 3:13 am, and my mind is fuzzy.
@MeganB Wasn’t there a tale of Bran’s head being used as a cauldron while his people were traveling? There may be more depth to it.
While traveling, we don’t always have all the supplies we need for a proper casting we would have done otherwise. At these times, visualizing is like using your own mind as a type of cauldron, holding all the elements, mixing things together, letting thoughts simmer, keeping things safe.
@starborn May your move go smoothly. May all your boxes be the lightest of cauldrons. (Remember to focus on a spot above the box when lifting and chant “Light as a feather, stiff as a board” over and over until you put it down. Focus constantly.) May your breakables be protected and safe. May you find everything when you unpack. May your new home love you, and may you and your family love your new home. So mote it be.
@Jeannie1 ooooo thank you so much. Oh the possibilities, cedar, oak, sandlewood etc for the essential oils.
Need to learn how to make them too, they are so expensive. I ADORE crafts so this is right up my ally and like you said, recycling at its best.

I hope you don’t mind if I jump in on this- I love this chant too!
Macbeth (where the witchy cauldron chant comes from) was originally a play by Shakespeare- so yes! You can read the book, although it’s a bit tedious to work through the old English. I recommend seeing it as a play!
Alternatively, the chant is so famous that it appears in other things. My personal favorite rendition of the song is the version they used in Harry Potter:
I forgot to leave the source of the chant for lifting boxes. Sorry about that. I was half asleep and already meditative on your spell. It was in the movie The Craft
Hmm. Turns out it’s a party game, too! Based on physics? Always cool.
Awww, thank you, I’m excited to try it out The shop had a sale for charcoal discs too so I grabbed a pack, so it’s going to be me and my favorite elements when the package gets here
Oh loose incense (for me) smells so much better & when I can use different recipes, I can make them for specific things. Each of my deities has their own jar & then I make up others for specific reasons too.
Rope incense is amazing as well it smells so good too!
