Lovely combo. I usually make my own blends and that sounds amazing. Im not a Brit, but i got into tea years ago when i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and the MS. I have been able to handle and maintain my pain level much better with using natural herbs. The doctors had me on lots of opiates and then realized I was an addict and took them away. That created any even worse addiction and problems in my life so I stay away from any kind of medication now
Oh i can imagine it would be so hot there! Winter is a nice relief but i must say love Autumn and Spring the most. I myself and a winter baby
@georgia Thank you hun it is a very summery Litha and perfect weather for it
@Mystique Oh i am so sorry i hope you find relief sooner rather than later You know i must think the cold is better because i have never seen snow before and how brutal people say it can be Seeing snow is one on my bucket list
@jayne OMG love that see it sounds perfect for cold weather
@georgia I have used one a few times and have found if I lay on top of it it will help. Putting them over me, they were too heavy and caused more pain. I’ve heard they make lighter weight ones now but I haven’t tried one of them.
@TheMuslimWitch the snow can be beautiful! But also causes many problems. Yesterday there were lots of car accidents around here from the snow and ice. Two years ago we had such a large amount of heavy wet snow in one day that it knocked a lot of trees down. But if you ever want to see the snow, I have a couple spare bedrooms! Always room for you to come stay!
@jayne that sounds like a lovely blend!
The weather outside may be frightful for some of us, but luckily, the coven keeps things warm and cozy here in the forum! A big thank you to everyone who has shared their comfy magick so far
This is your heads up that the challenge is approaching its end. It will close to entries tomorrow: Tuesday, December 17 at 7:00 AM ET (Eastern US Time)
If you haven’t already shared an entry with the coven but would like to join in, this is your friendly reminder that you still have time left to do so.
Blessed Be!
Challenge entry
I wish I had pictures to go along with this, but I didn’t think about taking any. I have been reading more about herbs and wanted to experiment with Mugwort and its properties of enhancing dreams and divination. I found a lovely mugowrt tea recipe that has lavendar and rose petals in it, as well. I also mixed mugwort oil with coconut oil and add crushed lavendar and rose petals to that. I just made a small batch to try over the weekend and really enjoyed my tea. The oil I just dabbed on my wrists and temples. I normally have lots of dreams, but I cannot believe how much more vivid they were! I was so busy that I didn’t have enough time to spend with my tarot cards like I had planned on, but it was still lovely. I also bought the most beautiful baby Norfolk Pine from WalMart (!) of all places in honor of Yule. Her name is Yulia. (So clever, I know LOL) Anyway, I hope this counts for my entry.

Hi Mystique,
Such talent! The first thing I thought of for this Challenge was; soup, even if I didn’t get mine in on time and ham and bean is my favorite.
Great job,
Tracy
Wow Jayne, that sounds absolutely delicious. Anything with Butterscotch and Vanilla its got to be good!
