Magical Notes:
A Little Magic for Your House Plants
Though technically not magic this is still magical as it’s nature working as one, as it
were. And those of us who are Kitchen, Green or Hedge Witches (though I see
myself as all, or simply just a Witch), this is the kind of thing we would think of as it
is working with nature in a natural way. And what is this? Water! Not just any old
water, but one full of wonderful nutrients your house plants will thrive on.
Simply save your UNSALTED potato water and the water from pasta
(again this must be unsalted and no oil). Allow it too cool and water your house plants.
They will love it. We have a Poinsettia (tall plant back centre in picture) we've had we've 2 years now. We thought we were going to lose it around September. Then I started to
water it with this magical water. Even though it doesn't look like a Poinsettia now, it has
been putting out loads of new growth and it’s leaves are succulent and green. Our
Peace Lilly’s will need to be re-potted as they've grown so much. So forget that shop
bought food and feed your house plants with Mother Natures own!

Chill Out
We live in a complicated world, where people and events are often aggravating, frustrating, and downright unpleasant. The television brings us graphic scenes of bad news, the people we share our lives with can drive us crazy, and sometimes the universe itself seems like it is out to get us. This can get us “hot under the collar” and once you are heated up,it can be difficult to cool back down. But all the evidence shows that this kind of constant stress is bad for us, physically, mentally, and yes, spiritually. Use this spell when you need to chill out a little, using the cool of winter to help you regain your own inner cool. If you want, you can even stand outside on a cold day and breath deep of the cold (or colder, depending on where you live) winter air.
Cooling, calming, winter air
Blow away fear and despair
Banish anger, calm my soul
Make my shattered spirit whole
Cool the fire that burns within
Slow the endless mental spin
Chill the season, chill I’ll be
Cloaked in winter’s harmony
