inspired by jk rowling’s “Amortentia“, a potion-drink to bring you self love or strengthen love with another

“Amortentia is the most powerful love potion in the world. It is distinctive for its mother-of-pearl sheen, and steam rises from the potion in spirals. Amortentia smells different to each person, according to what attracts them.”

• Lavender essential oil
  
• 7 green oak leaves (basil if oak is out of season)
  
• 1 purple candle
  
• 1 yellow candle
  
• Purple thread
  
• An envelope
  
• Jasmine essential oil
  
• Essential oil burner/heater
  

   Run a warm (not hot) bath and pour a little lavender oil into it, just enough that you can smell it, but not so much that it’s overpowering. Add the leaves to the water and light the candles. Get in the tub and repeat a breathing pattern of breathing in for seven seconds, holding for seven seconds, and breathing out for seven seconds a total of seven times. 
   As you breathe, envision yourself inhaling golden light and exhaling all negativity. Once completely relaxed, envision a ball of light, warm and golden, grow in your center, expanding out to encompass you entirely in its comforting presense.
   Once enveloped, chant seven times
     I have a contribution to make
     I have words to say
     Let others hear the words I speak
     And take self-doubt away
     And let it be done
     That it harm no one
   After you’ve soaked, leave the bath and snuff out the candles, then fish out the leaves. Thread them on the thread, then hold them up to the candles’ lights. Repeat the chant once more.
   Whenever you have a bad day, light the candles and hold the leaves up to the light, repeating the chant sever more times. Burn/heat the jasmine oil as you do this. Keep the leaves in an envelope on your person.
   Repeat the full spell once the leaves have turned brown and died.

To all new witches…

Put down the purchased spellbook, stop hoarding candles, resist the urge to pilfer the family spice rack for ingredients you think you need, don’t feel bad because you can’t afford the beautiful wand your friend has and you think your magick won’t be as powerful, please for the love of goddess don’t insist to everyone that your spirit animal is a wolf, lion, hawk, or bear just because you think they’re cute/powerful. Just stop. Breathe. Relax.

Go outside and look around you. Take long walks through your neighborhood every single day no matter what the weather. Linger in the places you feel drawn to, whether that is an abandoned lot with glass on the ground or a pristine mountain waterfall. Listen to how your body feels in different environments. Pay attention to the places that lend you strength. Pay attention to the sad places that are in need of healing or sympathy. Get to know your local environment intimately. Dream about these places. Write all your feelings down.

Study the minerals, plants and animals around you. Collect local crystals if you can. Find a place where you can mine for them yourself. Identify local trees and herbs. Find plants that call out to you. Listen to them. Spend time with them. Learn from them. If something is out of balance you will be able to recognize it. Notice what animals live near you, which creatures you are actually going to be around every day. Watch a single spot outdoors in all seasons, all times of day, to learn the secrets of the animals there. Then you’ll know which ones you really identify with. Pay attention to your dreams at this time and you may be contacted by other familiars and Gods/Goddesses who will lend their energy and wisdom to your work.

Read your witchcraft books to learn from others in the craft, but also read books on natural history, geology, field guides, local naturalists, Ed Abbey, Thoreau, Emerson, Rachel Carson and Darwin. Read and study local legends and find out who used to live where you do. Research local First People beliefs. Learn to read the land itself.

Craft your ritual tools with your own hands, from materials you collect yourself.

Leave magickal offerings but also do practical things for the other species around you. Pick up trash on your street, clean up a local stream, donate money and time to the causes you believe in. Volunteer locally and in exotic places that you wish to experience and learn about. Clean up that abandoned lot and start a community garden. Back up your spirituality with sweat and hard work.

Do all this and more and you will become wise no matter what your path is or where it takes you.
