Late Nights Spell
Many
people have erratic sleep schedules due to work or other factors. This
spell has been particularly helpful for me in the past when I was
working ten hour night shifts almost every night. It’s a herbal working
grounded in celestial magick, and eases transitions from day to night.
It also helped me fall asleep properly during the day, and even in those
instances where my schedule changed, it helped me sleep well and not
feel fatigued or unnatural. Mostly, it’s a spell for situations when you
have to be awake at night and asleep during the day!
For this spell, gather the following ingredients:
- Dried chamomile blossoms
- Dried jasmine blossoms
- A small sachet to fill with them
Since
chamomile holds a scent better than jasmine, it is best to use about
two parts of chamomile and three parts of jasmine. In any case, you need
enough to fill the small sachet.
The sachet can be made of any
material, though an neutral color will work best. Small cloth bags with
drawstrings work well, or you can sew something more elaborate.
Grind
the flowers together as finely as possible. You want to get them evenly
mixed an intermingled You can do this with a normal mortar and pestle,
with a spoon in a regular bowl, or just by running your fingers through
the mixture and crunching it into fine bits. Make sure each of the
flowers is evenly distributed within the other.
Then, as mentioned earlier, fill the sachet with the mixture and empower it, reciting this incantation:
“Moon-loving jasmine help me thrive in the night.
Bright chamomile let me flourish in sunlight.
Grant me rest beneath any sky I may see.
As I will it, so it will be.”
Tuck
the sachet somewhere close to your bed before going to sleep.
Alternatively, and if you do not have access to actual jasmine (or
chamomile) blossoms, try putting a few drops of each’s essential oil in a
diffuser prior to bed. Some folks like to substitute ylang-ylang for
jasmine - I’ve tried that, and it works well for this.
Please be
mindful of potential allergies and sensitivities, as well as how these
plants might affect any conditions you may have. Know your body, and
know what it needs. Do research these plants a bit before using them!
This spell worked for me, and hopefully you’ll find it helpful, too!
