Putting things under your pillow

By putting certain things underneath your pillow, you will allow those metaphysical properties to interact with your dreams, and your person all throughout the night, when you sleep upon that pillow. Here is a small list of constructs you can put underneath your pillow, that will provide to you certain energies, minds states, and physical stimulus throughout the night based on what they are:

Lapis lazuli under your pillow for awareness of your dreams, and vividness of those dreams.

Clear quartz under your pillow to wake up with more energy, after you awake from your sleep.

Bayleaf under your pillow in order to have more prophetic dreams.

Chamomile under your pillow in order to promote relaxation, and good  dreams.

Rose petals under your pillow in order to bring love into your waking life.

Peppermint under your pillow in order to promote relaxation, and vivid dreams.

Lavender under your pillow in order to promote calm, and in order for you to sleep well.

Anise under your pillow in order to prevent nightmares.

Rosemary under your pillow in order to prevent nightmares, and to bring deep sleep.

Garlic under your pillow in order to promote sleep well.

You can put a blade of grass, or a leaf underneath your pillow to promote growth, and change in your waking life.

Money under your pillow for wealth, and prosperity in your waking life.

You can put a picture of someone underneath your pillow in order to connect with them better.

You can put the name of someone underneath your pillow in order to connect with them better.

You can put all manner of sigil underneath your pillow in order to get the effect of that Sigil into your dreams, and waking life.

plants are magic

i love magazines. i love love love them. and so when this pretty number came out, i drooled a bunch and have since fallen in love. it’s called plants are magic, and it’s a garden-girls dream. it’s sort of a mix of stories, recipes and herbal lore, interviews and how-tos from all sorts of plant folk. i’ve always dyed playsilks throughout mama-hood using things from the kitchen,  but i’ve been learning so much from the goddesses in this zine. 

(ps, you can get print or pdf. i got the first two in paper because im a hold-in-hand girl, but the third i got digitally since im trying to tread lightly and be conscious of what i have mailed here from out of the country)

oh one never tires of reading gardening ideas. i've tossed a moon / nighttime space around for awhile, but i'm not exactly sure where i want it.

Gardens of the Witches

Already starting to plan this years garden so I thought I should do a post on Witch Gardens

Moonlight Garden

A garden that blooms in the moonlight, a great place to perform night time rituals, meditations, or to just take a midnight stroll. A garden that is full of magick even after the sun sets. 

Plants to add in your moonlight garden:

Moonflower: (Ipomoea alba) A nocturnal relative of the morning glory. Has fragrant flowers that open at dusk and close by dawn.    

Evening Primrose: (Oenothera biennis) Has beautiful, scented flowers that bloom only at dusk. 

Night Flox: (Zaluzianskya capensis) A sweetly fragranced flower that only unfurls its pinwheeled shaped flowers after dusk. 

Four O’Clock: (Mirabilis jalapa) Its scented flowers bloom at around 4:00pm (hence its name) and do not close up until morning. 

Queen of the Night: (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) A species of cactus whose flowers only open at night. Attracts moths and bats!!!

Night Blooming Jessamine: (Cestrum nocturnum) Strong, sweet scented star shaped flowers that only bloom at night. Attracts moths and bats!!! All parts are toxic, do not ingest!

Angel’s Trumpet: (Brugmansia) Produces a strong scent on warm summer evenings. All parts are toxic, do not ingest!

Evening Stock: (Matthiola longipetala) Produces lots of small blossoms that produce a perfume described as a mix of vanilla, rose, spice, and cloves only after the sun sets.

Ever-Flowering Gladiolus: (Gladiolus tristis) Release a strong almond fragrance after dusk.  

Lilac: (Syringa vulgaris) Although has a perfume during the day, it is said to be a lot stronger after dark. 

Flowering Tobacco: (Nicotiana) Open in the late afternoon and have a fragrance that smells of jasmine. All parts are toxic if ingested!

Summer Snapdragon: (Angelonia angustifolia) Preferably in white, to reflect the moonlight. Has a scent apple-scented foliage. 

Silvermound: (Artemisia schmidtiana) Has thick foliage that will shimmer under the moonlight.

Jack Frost: (Brunnera macrophylla) Hdeart shaped leaves of silver and green, perfect to add more highlights of silver to your moon lit garden. 

Any plant that blooms after dark or has white, lavender, pale pink, pale yellow on it is a perfect addition to your moonlight garden. 

Things to add:

Stepping stones that have the phases of the moon.

Fairy lights

A place to sit

Candles

A small fountain to sing along with the insects and birds of the night

String charms and bells on tree branches for a soft jingling every time a gentle breeze passes. 

Herb Garden

For witches who need a more practical garden for uses of healing, tea crafting, drying, and growing plants used in their practices.

Plants to add to your herb garden:
