This morning when I woke up, it felt more like fall than it did during Mabon. We have had a little drought where I am and this morning it was raining. The air is a lot cooler.
Sooo I decided to make my simmer pot. Here’s what I used…..
Apples - Good health, future happiness and a place of rest and shelter
Oranges (I had dried on hand so that’s what I used) - Optimism, happiness and vitality
Cinnamon sticks - abundance, prosperity and success
Whole cloves - attract good luck, prosperity, keep good friends close, and stop malicious gossip
Star Anise - divination and astral travel
Allspice - uplift and increase energy and determination
Rosemary - love, protection, spiritual clarity and memory
And a few bay leaves - victory and success, love, wealth and abundance, protection, creativity, psychic abilities, wishing and manifestation, good health and healing.
