Wishing
Powder
You
will need:
* Wishing Powder
* The Great Outdoors (This could be your back yard, a park, or forest -- any place where
the wishing powder will land on the earth when you release it).
* Anything else you feel you need to personalize your wish.
You
will need to craft the wishing powder ahead of time. You can either do this at home in a
Circle or, if you don't mind taking your mortal and pestal along with you, you can make it
outside where you plan to use it. (This isn't too hard to do if you're staying in your own
backyard). I used the recipe for Wishing Powder found in Scott Cunningham's book,
"The Complete Book of Incense, Oils, and Brews."
· 2
parts sage
· 1
part sandlewood
· 1
part tonka beans (smells great!)
Grind,
mix, and empower.
If
you're feeling adventurous, customize your wishing powder to the wish you'll be making.
(Example: Crushed rose petals for bringing love into your life).
Find
a spot to make our wishes from. Take a handful of the wishing powder and begin
concentrating on your wishes. (Please do not put yourself in danger to make a wish. A wish
is just as powerful whether it's made standing on a rock on the side of a steep hill or
standing in a field). Put your energy and wish into the powder you are holding. When it
feels like you can no longer hold the energy, let it fly. As the powder settles to the
ground, visualize your wishes joining with the Earth, gaining power and strength.
As
always, remember the Rule of Three when making your wish. After putting the energy out
there, it's impossible to call it back. Remember the old saying, "Be careful what you
wish for, you may get it."
