Casting Directions for ‘Potion of Protection’
Preparing the Crystal Elixer
The first step is to make your crystal elixer. You do this by first attuning, cleansing, charging and programming the crystal with the intent of protection. To attune the crystal to yourself, put the crystal on your least dominant hand until you feel at though you begin to connect and become one with your crystal. To cleanse you can either; wash it under running water, smudging with a smudge stick, use incense or perhaps use sound energy etc/
To charge the crystal you may leave it in sunlight for a few hours, sit in the moonlight over-night, charge it with electricity or perhaps use sound (Though I prefer this as a cleansing method) etc.. As soon as you are finished, you then place the crystal inside a jug with a spoonful of water and let it sit in the sun for 1-2 hours.
The infusion
This is actually really easy make as all an infusion is, is a tea thats steeped for more but the most important part of this potion is intent. When you are creating the extract, imagine that you’re forcing your thoughts with the intent of protection to the herbs, boiling tea ; even speak out loud the intention if you want. You might even visualise positive, white energy pouring into your ingredients as you prepare.
Anyway, as for the extract:
First put 1 1/2 teaspoon of mint and 1 1/2 teaspoon of Basil collectively into your tea pot.
Place your 1 spoonful of water/crystal elixir into a kettle and boil it.
When the water has boiled, immediately pour it into the tea pot and close the lid.
Once the herbs have steeped for 10-15 minutes, strain the liquid into a cup and place the remainder in a jar for later.
Infusions dont keep for very long and are best consumed on the day but they can last up to two days in the refrigerator. Also try not to consume too much at once, you can span it out by having a cup in the morning, noon and evening and boil it in a an if you prefer your tea warm.
You could also add a teaspoon of honey if you find its too bitter for you.
