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."
Witch Craft: Herbal Wreath
Oftentimes, your kitchen is the heart of the home. Something about cooking and sharing food brings people together. An herbal wreath hanging on the kitchen door can be a source of love and luck. You’ll need the following for your creation:
- Freshly cut herbs of your choice
- A wire wreath frame, available from most craft stores
- Either string or florist's wire, ribbon, and perhaps a hot glue gun
This is truly one of the simplest craft projects you can ever make. Simply utilize the wreath frame as a base, and use string or the florist's wire to anchor the fresh herbs into place. Finish it off with a colorful ribbon or other magical decorative touches you may want to add.
Heart Wreath: Don’t wait until Valentine’s Day to try this; love should be 24/7, 365 days a year. Invite love into your home by hanging a wreath full of love herbs on your door. Any combination of these will work beautifully and I recommend using herbs that personally resonate for you among these options: allspice, clove, catnip, fig, bleeding heart, periwinkle, tulip, peppermint, violet, daffodil, lavender, and marjoram. Adorn with pink and red ribbons to let the universe know you're ready to welcome love into your life.
