Hi Jan!!! Thank you for the welcome! I use dried Horsetail when infusing the oil. I haven’t ran across any EO for it yet that I would trust. I have seen some on Amazon but I don’t know if I can trust the purity of it. I personally think the Levo is worth the money. I have had mine since May and I Love It!! It is super easy to use, it comes with a downloadable app so that you can run it over your phone, and I love being able to have oils ready within 8 hours… especially when you need to do some spellwork or ritual in a pinch. It’s also great for everyday Kitchen Witchery like infusing butter or making yummy infused oil for dressings. I’m currently going to experiment with infusing vinegar to make some fire cider for the cold season. I also know that they have a lot of how-to videos on youtube for extra ideas and such. Thank You again for your reply and most warm welcome. I am excited to get to know you as well. Blessings 🙏 ---

Hello Ostara, You are not alone…I also missed the last two (2) Challenges. I am on a mission to get back to my Spells 8 and let others in my life handle their own issues. I am too new to save the world and too old to try! Mote It Be 🧙‍♀️ Medea ---

## Challenge Entry **Dragon Oolong Tea Ritual for Protection** 1. Make a hot cup of Dragon Oolong tea. 2. Light a white candle on your altar. 3. Breathe slowly and deeply, calling to your dragon guardian. 4. When you feel the presence of your dragon guardian behind you, say the following prayer: _Viing do Yol_ _Aal zu’u vaan zuk lok, zuk lok_ _Rax, lingrah med Zahkrii_ _Ofaan zu’u Mulaag grolaha_ _Jusk, kinzon med Niigol_ _Aal Vokul funt siiva zu’u_ Translation: Wings of fire, Make me soar higher and higher Teeth, long as swords Give me the power to endure Claws, sharp as nails May evil’s search be to no avail 1. Sit for a moment in silence with your dragon guardian. 2. You can do this ritual during the waxing moon whenever you need protection. Note: Oolong tea is high in an amino acid called L-theanine, which can improve brain activity, sleep quality, and reduce stress and anxiety. It can lower cholesterol, aid in weight loss, and reduce blood sugar levels in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes. It can also help with oral health by preventing cavities and reducing plaque. Oolong tea shouldn’t be drank if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding or taking any blood thinning medications such as warfarin. Everyone is different, so always consult your doctor if you are unsure if Oolong tea is okay to drink. ---

## Challenge Entry For my weekly challenge, I made black salt! Without charcoal! I don’t have charcoal so I was buying my black salt which is expensive. But I found a lovely recipe for black salt in a book titled Samhain Traditions: 13 Simple & Affordable Halloween Spells and Rituals for the Witches New Year by Penniless Pagan. I’ve got to say it was a delight to read. Short but funny and to the point. The recipe for black salt I halved because I didn’t need that much and I’m glad I did, the rosemary didn’t want to burn and it took forever. But it turned out nicely and I was proud of it. It takes: 1 cup salt 2 tablespoons dried rosemary 2 tablespoons dried sage 1 tablespoon dried dill weed A pen and paper You write the word protection on the paper, roll it up, and burn it with the herbs on top. As I said, I halved it and I wish I would have halved it again because the rosemary didn’t want to burn. Of course, you put your energy into it, visualizing your ancestors standing beside you, and protection. When you’ve got it all burned you crush the burned herbs down with a mortar and pestle until it’s a fine powder. It may take a while but that’s okay. Then you mix it up in a clean bowl or baggie with the salt until it’s all combined. Take the bowl in your hands while again envisioning your ancestors standing beside you and say: “For protection, for safety, to banish negativity; With my ancestors’ spirits united beside me. To encourage the positive and dispel the rest, I concentrate these salts, this spell is now blessed.” Of course, you shouldn’t eat the salt, or get it on your clothes but I was proud of it. I feel like I did a good job. Thanks for the challenge! ---

## Brews and Potions Challenge Entry… Psychic Belly! This challenge couldn’t have happened at a better time for me! I needed to grind some marshmallow root I harvested to have it for my gut health. It’s not a tasty root to look forward to! The thought of simmering a wonderful fall potion that I saw mentioned here inspired me. As I was deciding on ingredients, I realized that a common thread in many of the things that I was going to use was anti-inflammation, protection, and enhancing psychic powers. I thank the powers of root, leaf, bark, and honeybees for this lovely honey-colored delight that I hereby call Psychic Belly lol. I made a large batch and put it in a jar in the fridge - and it’s delicious cold too. Ingredients: marshmallow root, dandelion root, mugwort, cinnamon, apple, orange peel, honey (gotta have honey!) ![potion photos](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/6/f/6fc97dc7760d6fc1ad2736a74060cca876f3cb40.jpeg) Thank you for all of these amazing potions that you all have shared. ---

## Challenge Entry 115 Weekly Witchy Challenge Witch Brews & Potion Challenge entry – Garnet I know you wanted potions and witch brews for this one. and I suppose what I am offering is that and more. From ancient times…China Some, well, many might consider Chinese herbal medicines to be witches’ brews and potions. Why? **Strange ingredients.** Chinese medications can be made from animals as well as plants. Some of the ingredients used in Chinese herbalism have a tendency to provoke distaste from westerners. Why? Because animal parts and insects are often included. In Western herbalism, the botanical name of a specific plant is always used for identification. In Chinese herbalism, medicines are named according to the prepared drug and not its ingredients. **Herbal tonic wines** Tonic brews are often made in wine. A large vat is filled with tonic herbs such as dang GUI (angelical or ren shen (ginseng.) The herbs are then covered with wine and left to brew for several weeks, then taken daily. The sage Li Ch’ing Yuen, born in 1678, was reputed to have outlived 14 wives and lived to the age of 257 because of the tradition of taking a small glass of red tonic wine blended with shou we and ren shen before he went to sleep every evening. **TONIC FOR LIFE** \*_This is not a recipe so much as instructions_ \*_In herbalism, Chinese and Western, I don’t feel qualified to make_ \* _oral concoctions._ You can make your own tonic wine by using a vinegar vat that allows one to draw off the wine from a tap at the bottom and add fresh wine from the top. Fill the vat with the herb mixture and cover with wine, with extra on top of the herbs (red or white wine will work equally as well), and leave for 4–\>8 weeks. Draw a small glassful daily and top up the vat with more wine. The mixture can be used for several months. I won’t put down an herbal tonic, due to the complexity of the Chinese diagnostics and the complications of their herbalism. What I can give you is a **Herbal Bath (RELAXING)** This is a simple detox recipe ingredients: A handful of lemon balm, lavender, or chamomile. A muslin bag or stocking. Directions Place the chosen herb in a muslin bag or stocking. Tie over the hot tap so the water flows through it. After a long soak, lie down and keep yourself warm and relax. Thanks for the opportunity to write on the most interesting subject. Blessed Be Garnet ---
