Ingredients:
epsom salt
Himalayan pink sea salt
dried lavender flowers
dried rosebuds
lavender essential oil
almond oil
contained air from a wind storm
Tools:
mini cauldron
selenite wand
green candle
an empty jar
the jar containing wild wind air
Step One: Prepare your space
Gather ingredients on the floor by your altar
I personally keep mine in a liminal space with a mirror
Light a green candle on the altar, open the window shades at dusk
Sit on the floor with the supplies
Meditate on Gemini
Meditate on intentions - friendship, wishes for peace, healing, joy, self-love for another year of my friend's life
Check that your space is filled with your energy, intentions, and good will.
Protect your space with a circle if necessary (if you feel an intrusion)
Call the quarters if necessary (if you feel tired or need inspiration)
Step Two: Make the lavender portion
Halfway fill your empty jar with epsom salt
Add 4 drops of lavender oil (quantity varies depending on size of your batch)
Add 8 drops of almond oil
Close the jar and shake, admiring the whirl of your thumb and the crash of salt within
Open and inhale - it'll smell strongly of magnesium still
Add 1 tablespoon (ish) lavender flowers
Shake again but you will notice the centripetal clustering of lavender in the middle
This is appropriate for gemini
With your salt jar open on the floor, quickly open your air jar and put it top-down over your salt jar
Holding the two jars opening on each other, turn them repeatedly up and down, blending all the ingredients from jar to jar.
You may find your end product now in your air jar
Revel in your work so far, inhale and enjoy
Feel gratitude in your heart for air and gemini
Step Three: Make the rose portion
In your remaining jar, fill it 3/8 full with pink salt
I recommend using your hand to put the pink salt in, transferring your energy and intentions to the salt through your touch
Take 4-5 rosebuds and peel off the petals, working them in your fingers to find natural breaking points to tear them into small fragments (about the size of lavender flowers)
Add these piece by piece to your pink salt, letting them fall on top without mixing
Add also some of the dried insides of the flower, whatever will come off with pressure
Keep the base of the buds/stems/remaining products for next step
Stir your pink salt/rose petal mix with your selenite wand until satisifed
Add your pink salt/rose mix on top of the lavender/epsom salt mix
Do not mix, keep the layers distinct
Close your jar and bring it up to your altar along with the rosebud remnants
Step Four: Finish your product (optional)
Add your rosebud remnants to your mini cauldron
Light them on fire with your green candle
Unseal your jar and use the lid to fan the smoke into your product, (some queer smirk allowed as you do this, all in good fun)
Seal your jar finally
For luck, let one drop of green wax fall in the center of the top of your jar, and press your left index finger into the hot wax
Clean up with a happy heart
