Hey witches! I’m so happy to announce that after months of hard work, The Witch of Lupine Hollow and I have launched our newest course from the Lavender + Lupine School of Magick, Practical Magick for Modern Witches: Part Two! While it’s billed as a “part two” to the first Practical Magick course, you don’t need to take the first one in order to enjoy the second. The first course covers more of the basics of witchcraft while this second one goes more in-depth about some deeper topics such as history, working with deities, finding your ancestral witchcraft traditions, and more ways to fit magick into your everyday life.
To celebrate the launch of the course, today I’m sharing one of the magickal techniques from one of our lessons: a DIY magickal sleep spray! This spray will help you sleep soundly throughout the night and can aid in dream magick. You can buy sleep sprays at the store, but it’s cheap, easy, and way more magickal to make one yourself!
You will need:
- A spray bottle
- 1 oz witch hazel
- Purified water
- Lavender essential oil (if this is the only essential oil you have, you can triple the amount and omit the others)
- Vetiver essential oil
- Chamomile essential oil
Open the spray bottle and add your witch hazel. Add 10 drops each of Lavender, Vetiver, and Chamomile essential oils. Fill the rest of the way with the purified water and spritz away!
Lavender and chamomile are both calming oils that help you quiet your racing mind, while vetiver is a grounding, stabilizing oil that will help you stay asleep. The finished spray should smell woody and floral at the same time, but feel free to add more or less of the different oils if you don’t like the finished product – if you’re sensitive to smells, you might want to start with five drops of each oil rather than ten, then add more of whichever ones are needed.
If you use Young Living essential oils like me, Roman Chamomile will work just fine for this recipe 🙂 (And if you’re curious about why I chose Young Living, you can read all about it on my Essential Oils page!)
I hope you like this simple recipe, and if you want to see more, sign up for Practical Magick for Modern Witches: Part Two! We can’t wait to see you there! <3
