Harvest Home and International Day of Peace

September 21st is the Autumn Equinox. Another old name for this day was Harvest Home before Aidan Kelly decided on the name Mabon.
In the mid 20th century, the United Nations decided to name September 21st as the International Day of Peace. I find this an interesting choice and a fascinating overlap. The first thought that came to mind was how the equinox is the balance point and the days surrounded it are more or less equal hours of day and night. A moment of peace between one the bright and long days of summer, and dark and long nights of winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
Whichever one you decide to observe, may you have a blessed day, and may these blessings continue to bring you more blessings in the future.

Mint Magic for Domestic Bliss

Here is a series of spells to do for your home bring about peace, protection, love, and financial security, especially for the home. The key feature of these spells is that they all feature members of the Mint family of herbs often called Lamiaceae or Labiateae. This spell was a free spell I did for Lucky Mojo Hoodoo Rootwork Hour.



First cleanse the home to remove any harmful and unwanted influences.

Mix together Basil, lemon balm, and hyssop. Take a tablespoon of this mixture and make it into a strong tea. Add this to your usual floor wash  and scrub the floors of your home, moving from back to front. 

You can also grind the herbs finely using a spice grinder, and mix that with baking soda to make a carpet cleaning powder.

Then mix together sage, rosemary, and uncrossing incense. Burn that on charcoal and smoke your home to further drive off harmful influences.

Mix together spearmint, marjoram and protection powder and sprinkle that around your home, to protect it from unwanted influences entering in. You can add oregano to that to make it keep the law away as well. 

For health and well being put Heal All and Wood Betony into a white flannel bag, and anoint it with blessing oil. Keep this under your mattress between the box spring so you will have peaceful and healing rest. 

To enhance love or draw new love, mix together catnip, lavender and patchouli. Infuse a tablespoon of that mixture into a pint of hot water, mix that with a gallon of cool water and bathe in it, drawing it up from your feet to your neck or head. Save the remaining water, put on clean fresh clothes, and take that saved water outside. Take ten steps from your front door of your home or building, and sprinkle that water back to your door. 

To protect your money and finances, mix together peppermint, thyme and skullcap. Add a pinch of that mixture to your wallet or purse. You can also keep a bowl on your mantel or add a pinch to a cash register or your business or keep it with your financial statements to protect your money.

Happy New Year!

Recently on social media I saw a post about the phrase “May you live in interesting times” and a reminder that the phrase is meant as a curse.
The poster than followed this by saying their blessing was “May you living in boring, peaceful times” which I found a little lackluster, so I offer this up to the world. May you live in Peaceful and Prosperous times.
I think people forget about the benefits of peace, tranquility and calm. Free from stress. Able to focus. You can rest, you can heal, you can recharge.
