Rose Shield Potion

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon rose petals
• 1 leaf of sage
• 1 cup boiling water
• ¼ cup vodka (80-proof or higher)

Instructions:

• Cut rose petals into ½” pieces
• Cut sage petals into ¼” pieces
• Pour into boiling water, stir periodically for 15 minutes.
• Add vodka, shake well.

Incantation:

(Recite throughout entire process.)

“With roses and sage I do so set,
An air of protection that must be met.
With lingering fragrance of petals so small,
I charge this potion with each and every call.”

Uses:

For protection, anoint yourself or another with it on the pulse points and chakras. Trace the frames of your doors and windows. Clockwise and counterclockwise are both acceptable, depending on which direction you associate with protection. This potion may also be put in a spray bottle to clear harmful vibrations from rooms.

This potion can be used in the blessing or anointment of a new altar. To use, place a drop on each corner of the altar, starting at the upper right hand corner. If the altar is a permanent one, you can also put a drop on your altar candle. Place a drop on the edge of the candle, allowing it to roll down the side.
