Incense, Oils, Herbs & Brews

Welcome to the Crone's Corner.  This page is dedicated to the Crone's art of herbalism.  Recipes may be either healing or magikal in nature.  However, none of the recipes are to be taken as a prescription or used in the place of proper medical treatment.  If you have a favorite recipe or are looking for one, email me.

    Getting rid of old or expired herbs and oils is always a good idea, but what to do with those last few drops of that exotic oil in the vial, or the few shreds of herb in the jar?   Try this at your next ritual.  It is a wonderful method for using up those last bits and dollops  and at the same time create a special mixture just for your group or coven.
Make up a large batch of bath salt base from the recipe below.  Have everyone bring their "remnants" and a glass jar.  You can also have everyone bring some of the ingredients for the base.  Mix the base in a Extra Large bowl.  Create your sacred space with the bowl in the center of the circle.  Go around the circle and have each person add the bits of oil that they brought.  Now, everyone should take a turn mixing the salts and oils together.  You can chant, sing, or simply incant during this phase.  Voila!  Custom bath salts for your coven.  Portion the mix out into the glass jars for everyone to take home and color as they wish.

Bath Salt Base
3 parts Epsom Salts
2 parts Baking Soda
1 part Rock or Sea Salt
You can add 2 parts Cream of Tartar
or Tartaric Acid for an effervecent effect.

For incense, have a few mortar and pestles handy as well as a large bowl.  Cast a circle and have everyone grind and mix their herbs together in the bowl.  You can get some amazing incense this way.  Above all, have fun with this.
