Air Magick -Clarity Tea

Every so often I experiment with teas and throw together two or three plants into a brew.


 The intent behind creating the tea is always at the back of my mind, and I try to find ingredients with that purpose. Thus Clarity Tea was born one day when I was feeling hot, harrassed and my mind was all over the place.
What does this have to do with AIR MAGICK? Well mental processes are usually associated with AIR. When my mind was all scattered, I did think of doing a spell, and thought I'd better just create the tea instead.


So sip this brew when you feel the need for a cool, calm head which is open to the ALL. I find it is good for meditation, clarity and increasing intuition. It relaxes the body, but the mind remains clear.

Ingredients (makes three cups)

1 quarter cup of grated carrot
1 quarter cup of basil leaves washed and loosely packed
four cups of water

Bring water to a boil and add Basil and Carrots. Immediately turn down heat to the lowest flame and allow to simmer for one minute.
Stir Deosil and chant three times:

My mind's connection clear
My direction's clear
In the All's knowledge I share

My mind is calm and clear
My intuition here
In the All's knowledge I share

Use after AIR spells or New Moon Spells

Sorrel Tea- PMS Relief

Sorrel, in this part of the world, bears friut at Christmas Time, making the drink a tradition for Christmas. Although what people don't realize is that it is great for PMS when drunk about three days before the start of your moon time.
Conveniently, packs of dried sorrel can be found at the local Supermarkets (particularly HiLo) and it is now possible to have the tea all year round.

Sorrel Tea

Three Tablespoons Dried Sorrel
Three cups water

Boil sorrel in water, add sugar to taste. Makes two cups. (I always have a second!)

Drink two cups of teas per day, three days before the expected time. You can continue during your Moon Time, the tea still tastes wonderfully fruity!

Garlic and Lime Tea for sniffles and Sore Throat

I had a sore throat coming on, plus fears of swine flu with sniffles added. I've been reading about the curative effects of garlic for colds, and lime as well. So I blended this tea, and found an almost instant soothing of my throat which lasted until the next day. Had another dose last night as the itchy throat was returning, but was okay well into the next day. Its 3:00pm and I feel okay. The sore throat has gone, only a slight sniffle remains. The taste takes getting used to but if you like garlic that shouldn't be a problem.

I actually buy a bag of fresh garlic (about 5 heads) occasionally, and blend the whole batch. It keeps in the fridge for about two weeks, and so easy to scoop out what you need. I do not like buying crushed garlic in the supermarket, because there are always other things in there.

Ingredients:

1 tsp Garlic which has been crushed and blended

half a small lime

Two teaspoons sugar

Hot water to fill your cup.

Blend all together and stir widershins, imagining the healing powers getting stronger. Further visualize the germs shriveling to a pulp when you drink it. Enjoy !

Remember, if symptoms persist for more than two days, see a doctor!
