A Winter Solstice Charm
This sachet charm is a lovely and magickal gift for others or yourself. Before you begin creating it, light a red candle and some pine or fir incense. Let yourself focus with love and power upon this task.
Gathering together a square of fabric, green, red, gold, or a small pouch will do.
Ribbon or yarn in an appropriate color. I like to make a braid of red, green, and gold embroidery floss.
Herbs for each sachet:
A pinch of Cinnamon chips or broken bits of broken cinnamon stick - for success, healing, increased energy.
9 Allspice berries - for success, prosperity, good health and healing, vitality, love.
1 Whole nutmeg - for money, good luck, protection.
13 Cloves - for protection, repelling negative.
A pinch of Rosemary - the dried needles - for warding off evil, remembrance, focus.
A pinch of Pine needles - for abundance, longevity, healing, spiritual growth.
A slice of ginger - for healing, love, passion, success, prosperity, protection.
A pinch of Caraway seeds - for love and faithfulness, protection, acquiring wisdom.
A bay leaf to make wishes come true, protection.
A drop of Bayberry, pine, cinnamon, or clove oil, or a combination of 1 or 2 as you like.
Mix the herbs with the oil as you set the intention for all good things, adding your energy to them. Chant this to empower:
In the name of the Winter Goddesses
Three times three
Consecrated and blessed these herbs now be.
All good things they do bring!
Awake, alive, their power sings!
Place in the herb blend in the center of the square of fabric. Fold up the 4 corners and tie three knots with your ribbon or yarn to close.
Hold the sachet in you hands and chant:
A blessing upon this charm in my hands,
Where it resides, all good stands.
I have made it so and so it is,
In the Lady’s name, its power lives!
May all the blessings you wish for others be yours as well!
Blessings dark and deep.
