🌿🌹 Smokable Herbs 💨✨

Smoke is used cleansing and purifying, and much more🌫

🍃 Good day, Witches of Tumblr! 🍃

Not everyone may have the habit of smoking, but smoking has always had a sacred purpose in every culture and many religions. The history of smoking began in shamanistic rituals that took place as early as 4000 bc. It is considered a very social activity and was used as a social tool.

While some may say the smell of smoke is unpleasant, and people don’t want it around them. But did you know you can smoke certain herbs, and actually make a very lovely tasting, and even pleasant smelling, blend? Some herbs are highly medicinal and can give you benefits. Keep reading if you want to know more!

🌹 ━━━✦❘༻ 🌿 ༺❘✦━━━━🌹

**Disclaimer**

it is very important you do the proper research to see if you can smoke a certain herb. Also if you start feeling sick after smoking it cease use of it immediately. You may be fine ingesting a certain herb, but you could have an allergy to smoking said herb. Please note that some of these could be poisonous if eaten, we are speaking of smoking only. I also don’t recommend replacing smoking herbs with getting medical treatment if you need assistance. Be very careful if you have health conditions and don’t smoke if you’re pregnant. I am also not trying to persuade you or anyone else to smoke!

🌹 ━━━✦❘༻ 🌿 ༺❘✦━━━━🌹

With that said, lets begin to learn what herbs you can smoke and how to put together a herbal smoking blend! Get ready to raid your apothecary!

There are tons of herbs that are smokable. Each herb has its own unique taste and effect, and by mixing them together you can create a perfect blend for your next ritual! Curate special blends for spells and other workings and label them. The possibilities are endless for what you can make. Not only do herbs have magickal properties, but medicinal properties for minor ailments too!

🍃 🌿 So What Herbs Can I Smoke? 🌹 🍃

✨My personal favourite is the taste of Rose 🌹 ✨

Creativity is at the heart of herbalism, so be creative when building a blend!

The Basis of the Blend

3.Flavourful Herbs

1. The Base

Your base herb is fluffy and light.

So herbs such as;

🌾 Mullein

🍃 Red Raspberry

2. Supportive Herbs

These herbs play a supportive role in your health and offer some type of benefit.

So herbs such as;

🌿 Hops

🌿 Horehound

🌿 Thyme

🌸 Passionflower

🌿 Mugwort

These herbs have many health benefits, such as nervous system and respiratory system health.

3. Flavourful Herbs

These herbs will add zest to your smoking blend.

So herbs such as;

🌹 Rose

🌸 Angelica

🍂 Anise

💐 Lavender

🌺 Monarda

🍃 Spearmint

Recipe Example

🍃 2 Tablespoons of Mullein

🌹 1 Tablespoon of Rose

🌾 ½ Tablespoon Chamomile

if you want you could add a bit of Lavender or another •Flavourful Herb• to make it more interesting!

🌹 ━━━✦❘༻ 🌿 ༺❘✦━━━ ━🌹

🍯 Adding honey to your blend can really sweeten it up!🍯

✨ Enchant the herbs before you smoke them, do it ritualistically if you want!✨

✨Use these herbs in your spells to take in the essence of •the elementals•!This will empower you and your magick✨

My personal favourite blend is;

🐝 Beelieve in Love 🐝

🌹 1 Tablespoon Rose

🍯 ½ Tablespoon Honey

I really hope you found this useful and learned something about smokable herbs, and incorportate it into your craft!

and blessed be! 🐝

The Queer Sphere - buttons and stickers

Raspberry Cloud Studios - stickers, washi tape, notepads, and other stationery

Rocket Art - earrings and stickers

Ashlee Craft - stickers, t-shirts, necklaces, and more

Mxwizwoe - stickers, prints, and pins

Catmint Studios - stickers, keychains, enamel pins, and more

And an honorable mention for a non-Etsy shop:

That Pride Shop - t-shirts, stickers, stationery, and more

This definitely isn’t an exhaustive list, so feel free to add more LGBTQ small businesses!

[This post is current as of May 2021]

For some reason, Instagram won’t link to my Tumblr……

I initially shared this list as two separate posts, but I have since turned it into a Google Doc and will be continually updating it as I come across different accounts and resources.

@taylor_mcnallie RE: Canada Day “Peoples ability to commit to anti-racism sure goes out the window the moment they have an opportunity to make money, further profiting off the harm done to others through a system they continue to benefit from. Listen.. Being anti-racist is a life-long commitment. You're going to lose friends. You're going to lose opportunities. You're going to get uncomfortable. There is no half-assing this. Do better. #CancelCanadaDay “ . . . . . . . . . . [If you are holding any form of "Canada Day" event that is not Indigenous-led and/or amplifies Indigenous voices and their calls-to-action, with every single dollar going back to their communities, please know that I am heavily judging you.] (at Okanagan Landing) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQHOuF6nuc-/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is 1.5 hrs away from my shop!!!!! The Halloween Night Market was held in Kamloops, BC!!!!!!! @oncanadaproject 🗣Please Share & Amplify ➡️Our history in Canada is horrifying, & until we acknowledge that & recognize the truth, we will continue upholding systems built on a foundation of racism, violence & harm without question. 215 Indigenous children were found buried at a Kamloops residential school site, some as young as THREE years old. That residential school only closed in 1978. The last residential school closed in 1996. This isn't some distant history that we are talking about. And Indigenous people continue to be oppressed in this country, the effects are very much felt in present day. We should be collectively grieving this atrocity as a country. — Please share any accounts or resources we should follow here or link on www.OnCanadaProject.ca/SettlersTakeAction Click the title slide for accounts you should follow to learn more. — Support is available for anyone affected by the lingering effects of residential schools, and those who are triggered by the latest reports. The Indian Residential School Survivours Society (IRSSS) can be contacted toll-free at 1-800-721-0066. #oncanadaproject (at Okanagan Landing) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPik1C9p46e/?utm_medium=tumblr
