Chickweed, Stellaria

Chickweed, Stellaria

 A gentle herb, Chickweed is often used in workings to strengthen and maintain relationships or other rituals of love and fertility.  It is associated with the Moon and the element of water, which makes it also useful in Lunar magick. 

~  To attract new romance or maintain a relationship, mix chickweed, roses and orange blossoms into your bath water.

~ To bring peace to your home, lightly sprinkle chickweed powder throughout each room in your home.

Chickweed is also said to discourage obesity and help with weight loss, add a small amount to your food (great for salads) or try the old folklore recipe of "Chickweed Water"

1 tablespoon of dried herb (2 for fresh)

1 cup of boiling water

Steep for 10 minutes, drink in 1/2 cup doses 2 to 4 times daily

(This recipe is also said to work for fertility issues)

Dogwood Wish Spell

Dogwood for Wishes

This spell was found at:  Magickal Herbalism

(Posted by  Fen Alraun)

 Dogwood is the tree of wishes! A dogwood flower is an excellent charm to bring about wishes. Here is a spell from the Lewellyn Publishing website from 2009:
"To make a wish come true, collect three red dogwood berries, a dogwood leaf that has also turned red, and a few pieces of bark. Place all of these items on a piece of white fabric or in a pouch, and tie it up with red yarn. Speak words of power affirming your wish over this magic bundle. Pass the bundle above the flame of a red candle. Extinguish the candle and hide your magic bundle until you receive your wish."
