KEEP AWAY TROUBLE
8 parts southernwood (no substitutions)
4 parts lavender
2 parts benzoin
2 parts sandalwood
1 drop sweet pea or violet oil

Mix well. To make KEEP AWAY HATE incense, add 1 part slippery elm and a tiny pinch of dragon's blood to the above.


LAW STAY AWAY
4 parts southernwood
2 parts sandalwood
1 part dragon's blood
1 part cinquefoil
1 or 2 drops rose oil

Mix well.


FAST MONEY (this is for survival money, not to feed greed)
3 parts pine rosin or powdered pine needles
1 part nutmeg
1 part cinnamon
1 part sassafras
1 drop honeysuckle oil in 3 to 6 drops honey

(mix all this extra-well.)


PROSPERITY (with a FERTILITY variation)
2 parts nutmeg
2 parts sandalwood
2 parts minced dried fig
1 part cinnamon
1 part honey
a pinch of hawthorn leaf if for fertility
a splash of peach brandy/cordial, just enough to moisten

Mix well in a waxing moon and let dry before bottling. For fertility, burn this incense during lovemaking.


PEACE WATER
In 2 oz. high-proof vodka or rubbing alcohol, place:
1 drop gardenia oil
1/2 drop lavender oil
1 tsp. extract or tincture of cucumber if available, or 1 drop cucumber oil

Dilute with 6 oz. spring water and store in fridge.


SPRING (for vibe-cleaning your house after winter)
1 part bay
1 part benzoin
1 part lavender
1 part cedar
a small pinch of thyme


AUTUMN or MABON
2 parts white sage (Native American type, not culinary sage!)
1 part patchouli
1 part dried oak leaf
1 part lavender
a pinch of copal if desired


HEALER'S powder
In a blender, finely powder:
4 parts dried white rose petals, fragrant if possible
2 parts dried ash leaves
1 part rosemary

This will take time to do thoroughly! Then add 4 to 6 parts baby powder, mix well, and store in a lidded glass jar. It's a pretty pale green with an attractive light, fresh scent, and can be used by anointing, blowing, massage, etc. Or you can cast a circle, trance lightly, raise power and draw healing or Reiki symbols/pictures for a person who is not present.

(DON'T use as emergency dusting-powder on chafed skin even if it's 2 a.m. and you're out of baby powder and can't sleep, though...there will still be occasional tiny, angular bits of ash-leaf intact in the powder, and you WILL regret it. Trust me, I learned this the hard way. )
