upcoming July Full Moon

Well, the July Esbat will be at Spirit Stone Sanctuary. The "Blessing Moon". The planning meeting has not yet met as wejust finished the Jule Esbat ritual, but I've started researching it already :-) What I have come up with just in internet findings.... dream pillows (those will be fun to make!) and a Wishing Powder.... made me think of fairy dust, actually. Here it is, in case anyone wants to procure the needed items for themselves before July 29th::

Blessing Moon Wishing Powder (All wishing powders consist of three main ingredients - Dried Herbs, Essential Oils, and colored Glitter or Confetti.) Each of the herbs, essential oils and colors listed in these recipes were chosen because they correspond to the Full Moon in July - also known as the Blessing Moon. Use these powders to aid in your celebration!
>>>>>> Herbs: Frankincense * Jasmine * Lotus
>>>>>> Essential Oils: Jasmine
>>>>>> Colors: Amber * Silver

The glitter and confetti you choose to work with can be anything from tiny silver stars to large purple hearts, large bottles of standard crafting glitter to small pots of ultra-fine iridescent glittering powder, and even colored wood shavings. I have found that when looking for ways to incorporate color into your powders, there are literally hundreds of options. Try them all and find out what works best for you!

To create this powder, you will need to gather the following items:
* The herbs, Essential Oils and something in the colors listed above
* A bowl for mixing (I recommend a plastic bowl with a lid since it is much easier to shake a than to stir)
* Any measuring cups or spoons you prefer to use
* A mortar and pestle to help break up large chunks of herbs

Once you have all your equipment ready, measure each ingredient into the bowl. For your first few powders, I recommend using 1 Tablespoon of each herb, 1 teaspoon of each glitter and/or confetti, and 1 drop of Essential Oil. You can easily customize your powders once you get the hang of making them!

Next, cover your bowl tightly with its lid and shake vigorously until the ingredients are well blended. To empower your magickal powder, visualize what you would like the powder to accomplish - money in your bank account, your perfect soul mate, or the excited face of your best friend when you present her with a special birthday wishing powder. Hold this image in your mind at least until you have finished shaking. Ideally, you will be thinking about this purpose throughout the whole creation process - from gathering the ingredients to packaging the finished powder - to give your magick as much energy as possible.

To package your finished powder, you may measure it into small plastic zipper bags, pour them into small glass vials or plastic tubes, or even store them in the bowl you used to create them. The possibilities are nearly endless! Just remember to label the powder with the intent once you've packaged it and include a list of ingredients and instructions for use.
