Yes, this helps @Jeannie1 thank you! I was wanting to make the Salve mentioned by @BryWisteria but it calls for Lavender and I wasnât sure what I could substitute that with for the Salve.
Thank you for this bit of information, definitely will jot this down.

Thank you for sharing this.

Iâve always had Aloe Vera growing crazy in my back yard Ever since my Nana told me when I was young. Always have Aloe close to you to pick, and never spend $ on things that âcouldâ work if you already know what âdoesâ. Thatâs when I started getting into âNatural Medicine. I knew someday Iâd have my very own garden that I could grow whatever I wanted (just like she did).
Thank you, your Nana sounds very wise.
Start of my little herb garden <3 Left-Right basil, sage and candytuft
Small catalogue of herbs and their uses and some Oil recipes by the lovely @SilverBear
Some of the bags, vials and candles Iâve ordered arrived yesterday also
I really enjoyed this weeks challenge Iâve actually ordered The Novice Witch box From @SilverBearâs shop also to give me a kickstart to my apothecary supplies until my herbs grow, so excited for it to arrive!!
Everyoneâs photos and ideas for this challenge were awesome Looking through them has given me little glimpses of what my own collection may be like soon
<3 Blessed Be <3
I would love some advice tho. So I have been trying to stop smoking for at least a year nowâ and itâs really hard. But I saw a video of a women actually rolling up certain herbs and she said she has never gone back to cigarettes, and I know some herbs should never be ingestedâ but she smokes Lavender and I thought maybe I could try to see .
What do you guys think ?
Your Book is absolutely Gorgeous!! Kinda Jealousâ but itâs definitely inspirational!
Thank you And you can definitely smoke lavender It has a very calming effect (not quite like cannabis) and it helps anxiety Just make sure you buy smokable versions of the herb and from a good source, organic and all-natural are the best because they wonât have any of the nasty chemicals. And as always everything in moderation
I love garnet!!! I bought a teeny tiny little bag with small garnets and it was staggeringly expensive but theyâre so lovely. I really want some green garnet
For this challenge I actually deviated from what I thought I was going to do and actually cast a long distance healing spell. My friend is in Toronto currently and she let me know how blah and out of sorts she was feeling. I then performed a distance energy full body scan and determined her crown chakra was blocked. I instructed her to hold clear quartz in her non dominant hand and to ground with the earth while I envisioned us bound by our energy cords and I cleansed those cords by infusing the colours of the chakras with bright bold clarifying colours. Essentially we were both bathed in the radiant healing lights.
Once I felt the hum of good juju I finished by sealing the ends of the cords with brilliant white light and creating a protective orb around her.
Later that nite she left me a voicemail (this was before she knew Iâd done the distance healing Iâd told her I would but didnât say when) and said she didnât know if Iâd done anything or not but she was feeling so at ease and just like a huge weight had come off her shoulders.
And it had. I took in all of her out of sorts energy and like black tourmaline I transmuted it and sent it back strong and positive.
If you like the sounds of this and are interested in learning more about cleansing cords Iâd live to share in an upcoming post!
Blessed be!
Great pictures and collection of your working tools. Love your decks of cards and ruins.

I know my online witch store carries both nettle and mugwort! Itâs thewitchery.ca
Lavender and roses and other wildflowers are common additions added to cannabis so I think theyâd be as lovely without!
I love Magickplanetâ for herbs and such but if anybody has suggestionsâ I would love some! Thanks @Liisa
I personally donât do it but I know quite a few stoners who are successful with it. Thereâs actually a blend available online at https://greenmoon.ca/
which is delightful
Wow what a beautiful web page and you have an enormous selection! I have no problem sourcing dried mugwort and nettle. I really was looking for plants so I could grow my own.
Thank you!

This is beautiful! I canât wait to start my herb garden and flowers. The weather has been kinda of wonky here lately. Still too cold to start. And i donât have the room indoors.
Thank you for sharing.

I completed the The Green Witch course yesterday and Iâve now got a whole section in my Book of Shadows with details of the herbs, their uses, and substitutions that can be used.
Iâm still waiting for the majority of my herbs to arrive but Iâm hopeful they will on Monday.
In the meantime, I cleansed all my tools tonight with a sage smudging and tomorrow Iâm going to make a ginger and honey healing tea potion.
As an aside, tonight I also looked at the daily ritual, lit a black candle and prayed to Hecate.
Not sure if this is connected to studying herbs this week or Wicca in general, but Iâm really feeling the change of the season to spring this year and feeling more connected to nature.
