St. John’s Wort Spell - Banishing the Dismals

Best cast during a waxing or full moon.

Materials:

Agrimony, Horehound, Nettle, St. John’s Wort (to heal)

Epidote, Opal, Obsidian, Smoky Quartz (to charge with positive energy)

Myrrh, Pine, Sage, or Cedar incense (to banish negative energy)

Symbol of related element

Paper or similarly biodegradable container (envelope or satchel)

Before you begin, sit alone and think about the mood and feelings you wish to let go of. Do you feel like you’re carrying around a great burden on your shoulders that constantly weighs upon you (earth) or do you feel like you’re being swept to and fro along in your life, out of control (air)? Do you feel like you’re drowning and can’t break through the surface (water) or like you’re just burned out, nothing left to run on (fire)? Use this elemental association in your casting.

To begin the spell, light your incense. Pass your herbs and crystals, and anything else you wish to add, through the smoke to strip it of the negative energy that is affecting you. Place the cleansed materials in your envelope etc and seal as you recite the following incantation:

“Darkness and sorrow, all shadows of grief,

cast out with a sunburst and shine with relief.”

Concentrate on feeling yourself let go and dispose of your package of ensnared sadness according to the energy you feel it has:

Air: Hang it from a high branch of a tree or set it atop a hill and let the wind carry it away

Fire: Burn it and scatter the ashes in a southern wind at sunset

Water: Cast it into the ocean or running water. Or drown it in a jar and pour the contents down a westward facing slope

Earth: Return it to the Earth by burying it, perhaps cover it over with a small cairn of stones

Sit alone after you’re all done and feel the tension and melancholy drain out of you, to be replaced with peace and light.

I made some homemade moth/spider/ant repellent today. I live in a fairly old house so little creepy crawlers are inevitable, I won’t use pesticide or any poisons in my house though obviously so these are some good herbal/natural alternatives. Moths and ants are my main problem, they get into my clothes and bedsheets and it’s just not a fun experience. So the spray is made of peppermint, lemon, rose and lavender oils all of which ants, spiders and moths don’t like. I spray this directly into my clothes drawers and closet and around windows and doors. It smells lovely and keeps the bugs out! The satchels contain cinnamon, cloves, peppermint, lemon peel, and thyme. I put those in my drawers and nestled among my hanging clothes. So far I’ve seen good results! You do have to respray every few weeks and replace satchels every few months though. But over all I think this is a very nice, earth friendly pest control method.

* side note, mice also don’t like a lot of these herbs, specifically mint, so it might be worth a try to use this method to keep them out too.
