Through the Garden Gate


Our garden is a sacred space for my family.  We have spent 43 years here, working the land and celebrating our harvests together.  The Earth recognizes our bare toes tickling the soil as well as the familiar warmth of the morning Sun or the delicious Winter’s rains.  This sacred space is where most of our magick begins, and where we walk the Wheel, together.

Sage Harvest Bundles (small size)

White sage (Salvia Apiana) grows well here along the California coast.  It is prized for its strong aromatic properties, and is traditionally used as a smudge or incense for protection and purification.  I keep a small dish of these sage bundles on my altar, at all times, so they are ready to use when needed for smudging.  I used to make the more familiar, larger size, sage bundles all the time, but found them way too large for general use.  These smaller, “harvest” bundles are just the right size for cleansing my Reading table, my altar spaces, or any spellcraft area.  I like to use my Harvest Bundles when I am seeking something in my life; something I wish to “harvest”.  I am happy to share them with you, to use for your own personal intention.

All of the sage I use (or sell) is grown in my own garden.  These harvest bundles average around 5″ in length, and are sold in groups of three.  The price for 3 is $12.00.

 

 


Sage Garden Bundles (gathered and made with special intention)

My garden bundles are freshly made each Sabbat, using my own California White Sage and herbs and flowers that I gather from the garden.  I love to use them while they are still fresh, on my Healing Altar.  I find the intention just as strong while the herbs and flowers are still fresh than if the bundle were dried and burned — which I will do, later, possibly when it has completely dried.  I call these “intentional” bundles because, as they are fresh, they are able to remain on my altar for many weeks, thus keeping my intention secure and the energy of my prayers strong.

I am happy to share these  with you!  Your own garden bundle will be made for you after I receive your order.  I will add my own intention to it, which you can add to your own.  These bundles average 8″ in length.

Dodder

Each Spring I go out into the foothills of Southern California in search of this fantastic plant.  I use it as a great dyestuff for wool, and then, when dried, pack it into my witches’ cupboard for spells.  If you are not familiar with this plant, please see my video on it, here.  It is a very powerful plant, especially useful when doing cord or knot magick (effective for spellwork involving relationships).  Dodder is especially effective when used in binding or banishing spells, or in poppets (see my poppets, here).

As dodder is sometimes hard to find (it is not available in all areas, and only available in Spring), I am happy to share what I collect with you.  You will receive 2 small packets; each is sufficient size for one poppet.


Dodder, $11
