The Spell 🍵
1. Prepare Your Space:
Before crafting your tea, take a moment to clear and charge your space. Light a candle or some incense that promotes healing energy. As you do so, set your intention for the tea to bring relief and health.
2. Charge Your Herbs:
As you hold each herb, close your eyes and focus on its healing properties. Picture the marshmallow leaf coating and soothing your throat, the mullein clearing your airways, and the liquorice root boosting your immunity and calming the cough. Whisper a blessing or affirmation over the herbs, such as:
“By the power of Earth and Sky, these herbs bring health, comfort, and ease to my body. So mote it be.”
3. Brew the Tea:
Place the marshmallow leaf, mullein, and liquorice root into your tea strainer. Pour boiling water over the herbs and let the tea steep for 8-10 minutes. As the tea steeps, visualise the healing properties of the herbs infusing into the water, creating a potent brew of relief and comfort.
4. Add Honey (Optional):
If you’d like extra sweetness, stir in honey while focusing on its healing magic. Honey is soothing to the throat and adds another layer of protective energy to your potion. Imagine the honey weaving its golden threads of comfort through your tea.
5. Sip with Intention:
As you drink your tea, focus on the warm, healing energy flowing through you. With each sip, feel your throat soothing, your lungs clearing, and your body gaining strength. Take slow, mindful sips and allow the magic to work its way through every cell in your body.
Extra Witchy Tips for Healing 🌟
- Healing Circle: As you sip your tea, visualise a circle of protection around you, filled with healing light. Call on your deities or guides for their assistance in your recovery.
- Crystal Boost: Pair your tea with Amethyst or Clear Quartz to enhance healing energy. Place the crystals beside your tea or hold them in your hands as you set your intention.
- Affirmations for Health: Repeat affirmations while sipping, such as “My body heals with each sip. I release illness and welcome strength.” Infusing positive energy into your tea can amplify its effects.
