Divination V: Something Extra

Still in the back of your BoS.

Not for the meek, this little page (or two) is not so much for info on a Tool as on that little extra that has been left out of a lot of books. Divination while an ancient practice is more than just sitting in a dark room staring at odd things in order to pick out the symbols you want to interpret.

Some of us just don't relax easily, or cant enter the required state of being. In that case there is a Potion you can use to help.

You will need a storage container, an Amber or Cobalt Jar or Tea tin's are preferable to this jar you will add:

• 4 Tbsp White Tea
• 1 Tbsp Orange Peal
• 1 Tbsp Rosehips
• 1 Tbsp Mugwort
• 1 Tsp Eyebright
• 1 Tsp Mistletoe (Not the berries)
• 1 Tsp Valerian Root

You can brew it as tea 1 teaspoon to 8 ounces of water and sweeten with honey. OR take one teaspoon, grind to a fine powder (coffee grinder works great) and add it to a 10 ounce cruet of your favorite wine, this helps mask the flavor and it will keep in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks and measures into a wine glass (2 ounces) for 5 uses.

This is great to prepare in advance for Samhain.

As always be vigilant for your personal health and allergies. If you are on any heart or sleeping medications or special treatment by a doctor, talk to them before using any herbal treatments or blends.
