In using herbs with our
magic we use
the natural plants powers. Herbs by themselves have many physical and
magical powers. But, these powers are not enough to create
the
changes we desire.
We must also use our energy & personal power then combine it
with
the herbs power to product the desired effect or change (our
goals). This is also known as empowering, charging or
enchanting.
It is not necessary to turn this into a ritual. If you can
visualize well & easily, simply touch the herbs (your mixture)
and
send your energy into it.
However, rituals are powerful. I suggest that you experiment and see
what gives you the best results.
First you need to prepare yourself, do this while you are
alone.
Take a few moments to close your eyes, and relax your mind, breath deep
and slowly.
The Ritual
Light a colored candle that is associated with the herb mixture:
blue-healing, white-purification, red-love etc.
Hold the mixture (bowl, bottle or pouch) in your hands, feel or sense
the energies of the herbs.
Visualize yourself as one with the energy, attune to its power -
health, love, purification…
Feel your personal power and desire. Try tensing your muscles, starting
at your feet and work up your body. When your whole body is tense and
you are visualizing this power, feel the energy as tingling. Then see
that tingle stream into the mixture. (Perhaps adding a ray of
white or purple light or use the color of the candle you chose to
associate it with the herb.) See the energy pouring from your hands
into the herbs.
Next, state in a firm voice your magical intention. Such as healing:
I charge you
by the Sun & Moon
To consume
disease,
To Wash away
its cause & to heal
So Mote It
Be!
or Protective
I charge you
by the Sun & Moon
To drive off
negativity & evil
Wherever you
are consumed by fire
So Mote It
Be!
When you are drained of your energy and you know it has left your body
and merged into the herbs, sit it down, and shake your hands.
Relax your body and pinch or snuff the candle out.
The
empowerment is done.
