Easy Basil Money Magic

Harvest several leaves from your basil plants and place them inside a clear bowl on your kitchen altar overnight. In the morning, remove the leaves and let them dry in your kitchen window. Touch the water to your fingertips and touch your purse, wallet and anywhere you keep money. If you handle money at your workplace, bottle some of the basil water in a tiny jar and do the same. Once the soaked leaves have dried, place one in your wallet, purse and pockets to attract money to you and yours. It also repels thieves and loss of wealth. You can also put some basil leaves in your desk at home or work to enhance prosperity for your employer or before asking for a raise. Basil is truly a kitchen witch’s boon.

Peace, love and basil

The Bounty and Beauty of Basil

This sweet tasting herb is excellent in savory dishes. Basil truly grows like a weed and you should cultivate it right on the kitchen windowsill so you can snip and add to your Italian-inspired dishes. Give your basil plants plenty of sun, lots of water and you will reap a mighty bounty to share with the neighbors.  Old wives and hedge witches claim basil protects your home while it brings prosperity and happiness to any gardener’s home.  Basil helps steady the mind, brings happiness, love, peace, and money and protects against insanity. (What more can you want?) Basil has many practical magical applications such as making peace after disagreements. The benefits of this plant are as plentiful as the plant itself; it can be used in getting and attracting love and on the highest vibrational level abetting psychic abilities, even astral projection. 

Chives for Good Cheer

Allium, also known as chives, is blessedly easy plant to grow anywhere and everywhere –on the kitchen window sill or in the garden patch. A member of the onion family, this is a lovely case where the entire plant- bulb, leaves and flowers can be eaten. Plant the bulbs six inches apart, water and you can pretty much ignore them after that as all they require is water. A plus is that this relative of onion has insect repellant properties so you can plant rows of this beside veggies and fruits and the bugs will stay away. They propagate quickly so you can dig up mature bulbs and separate them and replant. One tip to remember is that chives do lose their flavor when dried so use them fresh. The flowers are a lovely surprise to add to salads for the edible beauty and many a kitchen witch uses chives in all manner of dishes as it good for weight management and is a plant of protection for both home and garden.  Chives were used by practioners of old in amulets to ward off evil spirits and mischievous fairy folk. Fresh cut bunches were also hung beside the sickbed to speed healing, especially for children. If you see a home surrounded by rows of allium, you know they hold to the “old ways.”

Balm for All Sorrows (and a boon for love magic!)

Balm also goes by the equally lovely Latinate Melissa. From Greco Roman times, this relative of the mint family has been held as a significant medicinal. You can grow lemon balm with ease from seed packets in almost any kind of soil but likes shade in the afternoon to prevent wilting.  This is one of the happy plants that will “volunteer” and spread in your garden and can be used in love magic- to bring love to you and also heal after a break up of divorce.  It can also be employed as an aphrodisiac.  Infusions and teas made from lemon balm make good on the offer the name implies, it can soothe the heart and any lingering upset, blue moods and aches and pains from trauma, both physical and emotional. I suggest we all grow as much as possible and let some go to seed for those new plants that will pop up in unexpected places in your herb garden. A kitchen witch never complains about a plentitude of balm; anyone who makes much use of lemon balm in brews and cookery will enjoy an abundance of love.

Green Witchery- Magical Uses for the Herb Thyme

Thyme - An Herb for the Ages

You could say that thyme is a classic herb, so much so that the venerables Virgil and Pliny sang the praises of this medicinal mint relative over 2000 years ago. While thyme loves Mediterranean weather, it can grow elsewhere from seeds and cuttings. Good for the stomach and especially effective as respiratory relief, thyme induces sweats to remove toxins and reduce fever.  Thyme honey tea is truly a sweet way to make the medicine go down so much so you will drink it even when hale and hearty. Thyme is also a culinary plant, making a delightful additive to savory dishes. When I lived in a warmer clime about ten years ago, I planted wooly thyme in among the flagstones of my front yard and let it spread as much as possible. When I came home from work, the sunny 80-plus degree sunny weather had warmed the thyme, creating a perfumed walkway; coming home was a heavenly experience.

It has been believed for centuries that thyme brings courage and both inner and physical strength. Even when your are facing seeming insurmountable odds, spells and smudging featuring thyme can get you on track and bring you to your goal. I think the greatest of all aspects of thyme is to rid your home and family of melancholy and overcome despair after extreme difficulty and loss.  If your loved ones have experienced a catastrophe, try thyme for rituals of magic and restitution. I have no doubt that practitioners of green witchery will be singing the praises of thyme for at least two thousand more years.
