Recipe: Herbal Leo Moon Water

Because I so rarely repeat a recipe exactly the way I did it last time, I’m making the executive decision to repost the recipe every time I change it. Because it’s my grimoire and I can do that shit. Also it helps to keep track of what worked and what didn’t. So with that said, here’s my herbal moon water recipe for the Leo moon.

Ingredients:

  • mason jar
  • water
  • rosemary (dried)
  • chamomile
  • 3 bay leaves
  • sigil
  • coins

Process:

I taped my sigil to the bottom of the jar, facing inward. I wrote intentions on both sides of each bay leaf and added it to the jar, with the rosemary, chamomile, and coins.

I filled up the jar with water, capped it, and left it in an east facing window over the full moon in Leo.

Uses:

  • add to glamour magic potions (<= this is the one I’m going to do)
  • dilute castile soap
  • add a spoonful to the water in a diffuser
  • bless/cleanse your witchy tools
  • use as a floor wash to bless your house
  • pour over your head as a spiritual bath

This is a full moon in Leo, so it’s particularly good for glamour magic, but it will also hold some of the influence of the sun/Saturn/Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius and the Uranus/Mars/Lilith conjunction in Taurus. Keep this in mind when deciding how to use your moon water.

Spell: Wealth and abundance

Ingredients:

  • fresh basil
  • 3 bay leaves
  • cinnamon stick
  • money
  • hot water
  • jar

Process:

Add some amount of money, both bills and coins, to a jar. Make the amount of money add up to something numerologically significant, like your birthday (e.g. $6.09 if your birthday is June 9), or an angel number like $2.22.

Write your intentions (can be “money” or “wealth” or “abundance” or some such) on each of the bay leaves and add them to the jar. You can also use this sigil:

Add the basil and cinnamon and then fill up the jar with hot water and cover it. Leave it until it cools down, or let it sit overnight.

Strain the liquid into a different jar. Pour it over your head slowly while you’re taking a shower. While you’re pouring, repeat your favorite money mantra. If you don’t know any, you can use this one from the Psalms:

Wealth and riches shall be in her house: and her righteousness endureth for ever.

Psalm 112:13

…or you can use this one, also from the Psalms:

The queen shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall she rejoice!

Thou hast given her her heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of her lips. Selah.

For thou preventest her with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on her head.

She asked life of thee, and thou gavest it her, even length of days for ever and ever.

Her glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon her.

For thou hast made her most blessed for ever: thou hast made her exceeding glad with thy countenance.

For the queen trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the most High she shall not be moved.

Psalm 21:1-7

There are many.

This spell can be done in conjunction with any glamour magick spell to amplify its results.

Recipe: God is Love Vinegar

Ingredients:

  • apple cider vinegar
  • orange peel
  • cinnamon
  • rosemary
  • parchment paper
  • sigil
  • jar

Process:

Put orange peel, cinnamon, and rosemary into a jar, and then fill up the jar with apple cider vinegar. Cover the top of the jar with parchment paper. This is important, as it will prevent the vinegar from corroding the lid of the jar. Set (or draw) a sigil on the parchment paper before putting on the lid. Put the jar away for at least one moon cycle.

Recipe: Thieves Vinegar

This is a personal, spirit-led variation on the traditional Thieves Vinegar, made on the new moon (and solar eclipse) in Sagittarius. By the full moon (in Cancer) it should be ready to use.

Ingredients:

  • white vinegar
  • orange peel from 1 orange
  • rosemary (fresh, leftover from smudge making)
  • basil (some leftover from smudge making, some dried)
  • sage (left over from smudge making)
  • 7 bay leaves
  • worship sigil

Process:

Put orange peel, rosemary, basil, sage, and bay leaves into a jar. Fill the jar up with vinegar.

I’m considering adding cinnamon, but for now I will not.

In fact, as I’m typing this, it occurs to me that I can add my sigil to absorb some of the more chaotic energy. I covered the mouth of the jar with parchment paper before putting the lid on, and I can slip a sigil between the parchment paper and the lid.

Uses:

  • cleaning
  • any banishing spell that requires vinegar
