FAST MONEY (this is for survival money, not to feed greed) 3 parts pine rosin or powdered pine needles 1 part nutmeg 1 part cinnamon 1 part sassafras 1 drop honeysuckle oil in 3 to 6 drops honey (mix all this extra-well.) PROSPERITY (with a FERTILITY variation) 2 parts nutmeg 2 parts sandalwood 2 parts minced dried fig 1 part cinnamon 1 part honey a pinch of hawthorn leaf if for fertility a splash of peach brandy/cordial, just enough to moisten Mix well in a waxing moon and let dry before bottling. For fertility, burn this incense during lovemaking. PEACE WATER In 2 oz. high-proof vodka or rubbing alcohol, place: 1 drop gardenia oil 1/2 drop lavender oil 1 tsp. extract or tincture of cucumber if available, or 1 drop cucumber oil Dilute with 6 oz. spring water and store in fridge. SPRING (for vibe-cleaning your house after winter) 1 part bay 1 part benzoin 1 part lavender 1 part cedar a small pinch of thyme AUTUMN or MABON 2 parts white sage (Native American type, not culinary sage!) 1 part patchouli 1 part dried oak leaf 1 part lavender a pinch of copal if desired HEALER'S powder In a blender, finely powder: 4 parts dried white rose petals, fragrant if possible 2 parts dried ash leaves 1 part rosemary This will take time to do thoroughly! Then add 4 to 6 parts baby powder, mix well, and store in a lidded glass jar. It's a pretty pale green with an attractive light, fresh scent, and can be used by anointing, blowing, massage, etc. Or you can cast a circle, trance lightly, raise power and draw healing or Reiki symbols/pictures for a person who is not present. (DON'T use as emergency dusting-powder on chafed skin even if it's 2 a.m. and you're out of baby powder and can't sleep, though...there will still be occasional tiny, angular bits of ash-leaf intact in the powder, and you WILL regret it. Trust me, I learned this the hard way. )
