New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| We're still in the year's darkest months, and the night can be full of bumps and chills. Protect yourself from disturbances with a charm for peaceful sleep.
Make a simple drawstring bag by sewing a large running stitch around the edges of a five- or six-inch circle of fabric and gathering it into a pouch. Fill the pouch with a piece of snowflake obsidian (for grounding and protection), a pinch each of mugwort (for dreams) and sage (for peaceful sleep), a few rose petals (for comfort and emotional security), some lavender (relaxation), and a small feather. On a small piece of paper, write BUMP and draw a line through it. Add this to the bag, too. Tie the bag shut with a piece of string, fastening it with a square knot to invoke elemental protection. Leave the string ends long to trap negative energies. Hang the bag from your headboard or nightstand. Sweet dreams be yours! |
