Middle Earth Magic: Inspired Ideas and Seasonal Spells for Your Enchanted Life
I grew up on a farm in West Virginia and learned much about herbs, trees, animals, gardening, foraging and so much about nature. I incorporate this wisdom I learned from elders in my family into my spellwork. When I finally left the farm, I majored in Medieval Studies, my attempt to emulate my idol, J.R.R. Tolkien. All these influences led me to my own blended brew which I call "middle earth magic," containing a mix of the modern and the time-tested "old ways."
Blessed Balm: DIY Lotion for Emotional Healing
For a dreary day and a dark mood, use the strength of this olden unguent to release both mind and body. This desert plant produces a protective gel which works as both a sunscreen and a moisturizer. Combine the following oils with either four ounces of unscented body lotion, or two ounces of olive oil or sweet almond oil:
• 2 drops chamomile oil
• 2 drops neroli
• 15 drops aloe vera gel
• 6 drops rose oil
Shake the oils together and place in a corked pottery jar. Sit quietly in a room lit only by one blue candle after a bath and rub the balm gently into your skin. Pray aloud:
Work thy spell to heal and nurse.
Blessed balm, banish my pain.
Harm to none and health to all.
