Color of the day: Yellow Incense of the day: Cedar Incense of the day: Cedar The summer months are a great time to penetrate the veil between our world and the fairy realm. These spells, tried and true, were adapted from seventeenth-century manuscripts. To see fairies: Rinse a glass vial with a tea of rose and marigolds, then pour a pint of salad oil into the vial and warm it until the oil turns white. Add buds of hollyhock and hazel and blossoms of marigold and thyme. Add to this mixture blades of grass from a fairy throne, which are those grassy spots in the shade of an elder tree ringed by toadstools. Let this mixture steep for three days in the Sun, then keep it for your use. To break a fairy spell, wear your clothes inside out and turn round three times in a windershins direction. |
