New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Are you an insomniac? Many people suffer from insomnia for a number of reasons.
To help cause sleep, you can either make a sachet or stitch your own "dreamtime pillow." For the latter, simply get some cotton and cut a piece of fabric (preferably black, white, or indigo) to size. Stitch up the sides, leaving the end open. Stuff the pillow both with cotton and with a combination of any of these herbs: agrimony, lavender, mugwort, bay leaf, hops, and poppy. Under the light of the Moon, dedicate the bag (in your own manner) to the gods and spirits of sleep and dreaming. Declare the bag as a tool that invokes slumber in the user. Be sure to state your intention clearly, saying that a "full night's rest" is latent in each use of the pillow. (You wouldn't want this spell to put you asleep too long!) When you lay your head down to sleep, make sure the conditions are pleasing (soft music, a guided meditation, darkness-whatever you like!) and draw the soft energy from the pillow into your body. |
