Apothecary Lesson #2: Drying your herbs

     Guess who’s back, back again? Davide’s back, tell a friend. Either way, hello everyone, and today, we’re getting a little old-fashioned. Like real old-fashioned. Like, pioneer witch old, y’know? That’s right kids, we’re drying our own herbs, and I’ve got three methods for each herb-drier out there: The “I’m, like, totes a wiccan,” The “Well, this should work faster,” and then the “This better goddamn work.”

Method One: Oldest

What You’ll Need:

Herbs, tied with twine

Twine

Thumbtack

Instructions:

You’re going to tie a piece of twine to the thumbtack, and attach the other end of the twine to the herb bundle. 

Push the thumbtack either into the wall or the ceiling to hang them. 

Let dry for 6-12 months (Keep in dry, warm room, and if you’re harvesting seeds, you might want to wrap your herbs in cheesecloth first) 

Method Two: Nature n’ Shit

What You’ll Need:

Herbs to dry

Table to place herbs on

Glass to put over herbs (and something to support the glass so it doesn’t touch the herbs) 

Instructions:

Place herbs onto the table, and spread out so as to not have the herbs touch each other. 

Put table into the sun, and place the glass panel over the table

Let dry in direct sunlight for 12 hours (until brittle) 

Method Three: Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That

What You’ll Need:

A Microwave

Paper Towels

Herbs to dry

Instructions:

Place your herbs in a thin layer on one paper towel, and lay another paper towel on top of that. 

Place into your microwave, and cook on high for one minute. Let rest for thirty seconds. Then microwave again for thirty seconds–you will repeat a series of rest for thirty seconds then cooking for thirty seconds

The herbs should be dried after approximately 10-15 minutes

Well… that was fun, right? Either way, thank you for reading through this, and I hope you guys stay tuned for the next installment of “Apothecary Lessons.” Talk to y’all later :)

How to make succulent babies!

Step 1: Pick leaves Gently twist the leaf near the base, it should snap off the plant cleanly. Good cuttings will be slightly rounded at the ends, and have no ‘open’ wound:

Bad cuttings will not grow, you need to make sure the whole leaf comes off in one go. Bad leaves are jagged, torn, or cut:

Step 2: Lay all cuttings inside on a piece of cloth. I usually put a piece of old scrap material down on my desk and lie all the leaves out in rows. I try not to pile up the leaves, as this tends to promote rot. Do not water at all. AKA no misting the leaves, no watering the leaves, nothing. Everything the baby succulent needs to grow is stored in the mother leaf, watering may rot the leaf before the new plant is big enough to survive on its own! Make sure the leaves aren’t in direct sun, as they will wither before they form new plants. Filtered light from a window is strong enough!

Step 3: Waiting After about 4 weeks you will start to see the first signs of life. The leaf may send out roots first, it may start to grow with no roots. Both are okay! 

Step 4: Planting (Start watering once a week at this stage) After 6-8 weeks the baby succulents will be big enough to plant outside! I do this by placing the leaves on top of loose, sandy soil that has not been compacted. I do not bother burying the leaves, as it tends to do more harm than good (you may snap roots/damage new shoots in the process):

I place all the plants together, they don’t really seem to mind! These is how they look after about 10 weeks:

When the plants are big enough, the mother leaf will shrivel up and start to die off:

TADA! You’ve created baby succulents :)

August Magic Day 9

9: Make a homemade Tea spell: Sun teas

Summer is a wonderful time to make sun teas. By adding in the energies of the sun, you brew is given an extra boost.

When preparing for some summer magic I love to make teas.

Ginger is a fantastic herb for adding power to a spell. Putts some kick and fire in it.

Lemon verbena is also a good boosting herb,as well as Lemon balm.

A kick of magic tea:

One part lemon verbena

One part lemon balm

One part chopped ginger.

One part black tea for energy

Mix up your herbs and place them in a jar. Add the ginger and add in the water. Let set out in the noon day sun for a few hours till you are happy with the color and taste. Sweeten to taste.

Drink before doing a spell to give your magic a added punch.
