Several years ago, I found myself wondering what to do with my old herbs, as rosemary followed vervain into a bucket. Then the idea of creating a protective circle around our property hit me. This is a useful way to return the herbs to Mother Nature while adding an extra layer of protection to your home, and it works with any botanicals you might have on hand. Dump them all willy-nilly into a bucket or other container, and head outside. (You could even designate a container just for their collection and add to it over time as flowers die and herbs become dated.)
To create the circle, simply walk the perimeter of your property, clockwise if possible, strewing the herbs as you go. As you walk, envision a circle of protective white light flaring up around your home. Close the circle and it is done. |
