Making A Strong Infusion
It's best to use natural water from a CLEAN stream or lake. I don't live near bodies of water, so I use rain water from a clean container that collects it as it falls.
I find it easiest to make it in a glass jar like a canning jar. Put fresh herbs of hoice in jar. Full but not stuffed.
Booil water and pour in jar. Put lid on it immediately to prevent losing any energies or oils in the steam.
I choose to start it on a new moon and let it soak until the full moon.However, I have only let it set for 30 minutes until the water was colored from the herbs thoroughly and it has still worked.
This does make an infusion stronger than normal. Traditional infusions are 1 teaspoon (for dried herbs) or 2 teaspoons (for fresh herbs) per 1 cup of boiling water.
I do NOT use any metal in making my infusions. This may tamper with magical or medicinal properties of the herbs.
Eucalyptus Banish Bad Habits Spell
The eucalyptus tree is believed to possess potent banishing properties. If you have a eucalyptus tree, it’s simple to make a decoction: place leaves, twigs and loose bark into a pot and cover with water. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently for an hour or more.
Otherwise, you can create an infusion from dried eucalyptus, available from herbal supply stores. Pour boiling water over the botanicals and let them steep until the water cools. Either way, strain out the botanicals and add the infusion to your bathwater, to destroy evil ties that bind, whether bad addictions, bad habits or bad company.
From The Element Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells by Judika Illes )0( From: GrannyMoon’s Morning Feast Archives
a simple and fun craft to make for sweeping out all negative influences.
Crafting an Herb Broom
you will need string, twine, or embroidery thread for tying.
Collect handfuls of plants to use such as:
Yarrow
Cedar
Juniper
Fruit tree sprigs
Oak tree sprigs
Birch or ash sprigs
Herbs (may also be used alone tied in a bundle)
Bundle plants together and tie cut ends together.
The bundle may be tied to a branch if a longer handle is desired. Use the broom to sweep away negativity.
Minthe was a naiad nymph who was loved by the God Haides. In her jealous rage... Queen Persephone turned her into a lowly plant. Haides, unable to reverse the spell.., softened it by making her more and more fragrant, the more she was tread upon... making her beloved by mankind. Minthe has become the genus Mentha... or Mint.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
