The Powders

Magickal powders are fairly useful. You can sprinkle them around your house or on an item, pour them in gris-gris bags or bottles, stuff them in poppets, or roll candles in the powder. They're fairly easy to make and generally have a long shelf life.

These are all powders of my own creation- I didn't follow a recipe from another source. I came up with all of these when I first started studying Wicca. I would think about my problem, classify it as a love, health, protection, etc issue, then I got my Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs and using a pendulum, I determined which herbs would work for my spell. My 'herbs' were spices I bought at Big Lots. Don't laugh. They have a wide variety of spices for cheap. I could afford to experiment.

One note of caution- while spices make up the bulk of my powders, sometimes I add things that are not to be ingested, like glitter. I never eat my powders, even if every thing in it is food safe. You could easily make a food safe mixture for cooking spells, but that is not what I'm presenting here. I also keep magickal tools separate from cooking tools. I have two mortar and pedestals, a black one for magick and a white one for cooking. I would feel horrid if I ever poisoned anyone. I generally don't mess with poisonous things in my magick, but still, better safe than sorry.

I will also post these recipes on my book of shadows pages. I'm posting them here so you'll get all of them without have to hunt through four separate pages.
