The colder months are a great time to add Simmer Pot Spells to your daily Magical Practice. Simmer Pots or "homemade PotPourri", have been used for centuries to fragrance the home, add moisture to dry air, improve moods, healing and even driving out demons. On top of being an effective working method, they also add fragrance and an additional sense of warmth in your home. The kitchen is also traditionally the energetic hub of a home for many reasons, so having a Simmer Pot going on your stove allows that working to easily access that energy and disperse it either throughout your home or into the Universe to manifest, depending on your intent. Because of this Simmer Pots are great for workings that affect your home and/or the people in it, such as: Prosperity / Abundance Cleansing Health / Healing Peace / Harmony Protection Simmer Pots have the potential to be very powerful workings because they draw on all five of the Elements at once: Water - the vehicle that combines the ingredients and holds your intention Earth - the botanical ingredients that align with your intent Fire - the heat that activates everything Air - the steam that carries the intent throughout your home or out to the Universe to be manifested Spirit - your focus and intent that transform a simple pot of ingredients into a working spell for your home. They are also very easy to do: 1) Fill a medium sized pot with water. 2) Add in a handful of herbs, spices, essential oils and aromatic botanicals that correspond with your intent 3) Stir the pot clockwise for drawing things in, counter-clockwise for removing things, while focusing your intent into the water. 4) Turn the burner on medium-high until the pot just starts to boil, then turn it to low so your pot simmers and steams nicely. Make sure to keep an eye on your Simmer Pot so it doesn't boil dry and add more water if necessary. What are you putting in your simmer pot?

by John Mccrae In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

I achieve my goals easily with joy in my heart.
