Herbal Remedy Spell

Gather

Beneath a gentle sky, gather your herbs—the old friends of the body and the bright keepers of the spirit. Lay them upon the table and breathe; the dusk carries memory, and the steam will rise like prayers.

Herbs

• Cinnamon — warmth to chase the chill from weary bones.
• Rosemary — clarity to sweep away fog and wandering thoughts.
• Sage — cleansing to burn heaviness and stale sorrow.
• Chamomile — rest to soothe the restless heart.
• Peppermint — breath to open the lungs and call renewal.
• Ginger — fire to spark courage where it has dimmed.
• Lavender — calm to hush the storms within.
• Nettle — strength to steady blood and anchor spirit.
• Lemon balm — joy to remind the tongue of sweetness.
• Thyme — resilience woven into the marrow.
• Clove — protection to guard the soul from shadows.

Ritual

• Set your vessel upon the flame. Call the evening to your hands; let purple dusk breathe into the brew.
• Pour fresh water or moon‑white milk. Warm it gently until a hush gathers—steam rising like quiet prayers.
• Add the herbs. Stir sunwise with a wooden spoon until the surface shimmers and the scent becomes a doorway.
• Speak softly with each turn: “I return to myself.” Let steadiness echo like a heartbeat through the liquid.
• Simmer. If using milk, keep to a tender heat; if using water, allow the steam to carry your heaviness away.
• Strain into a cup. Taste. Sweeten with honey if desired. Hold the warmth between your palms and breathe.

Incantation

“I call upon the roots of the earth, the leaves of the sky, the blossoms of hope, the seeds of tomorrow. Bind my wounds with your green threads, mend my spirit with your ancient songs. In Lux & Umbra, balance is kept—shadow gentled, light made humble. I return to myself.”

Closing verses

Drink slowly, sip by sip, until warmth spreads through your chest and light gathers in your veins. Let the potion carry heaviness away; let it stitch unseen fractures; let it restore the balance of body and soul. When the cup is empty, bury the remnants in soil so the earth may carry your pain away and return it as blossoms in spring.

This is the spell of recovery, the charm of resilience, the potion of survival: it steadies the weary heart, calms the restless mind, eases the aching body, and brightens the shadowed spirit. What was scattered is gathered; what was dim is kindled; what was lost finds a path home.
