Forest and faerie folk

Forest Witch Potpourri

1/2 oz. broken cloves
1/2 oz. powdered allspice
1 oz. rosemary
2 oz. sage
1 oz. lilac
2 drops pine oil
2 drops vanilla oil
2 drops patchouli oil
1 broken cinnamon stick
a handful or so of either Cedar chips or rose petals
a jar with a lid to hold the potpourri

Mix together all the ingredients except for the cinnamon stick and the chips or petals.

Take either the chips or petals (whichever you choose) and place them in the bottom of the jar. Sprinkle the mix over them and then cover the mix with another layer of either the chips or petals.

About halfway to the top place the broken cinnamon sticks, then continue on with filling the jar in layers. When all is done screw on the lid and let it sit so that the smells intermingle. When you want to freshen a room (or just to smell the stuff), just open the lid.

Autumnal faerie mix incense

This makes a really intense, woodsy mix that appeals to those of the Fairy Kingdom.

· 1 oz. Juniper berries (a tree sacred to the Druids and very magical)
· 1 oz. Rosemary needles (used for remembrance at Samhain)
· 1 oz. Frankincense powder
· ½ oz. Valerian root (great for love)
· 10 drops rosewood essential oil, 5 drops myrrh essential oil, 5 drops lavender essential oil.

 Place mixture, without grinding the mix, in an airtight glass jar, mixing very well. The longer it¢s stored, the more it improves! Sprinkle carefully on a lit charcoal disc and enjoy.
