Gardens Of The Witches

Gardens of the Witches

Already starting to plan this years garden so I thought I should do a post on Witch Gardens

Moonlight Garden

A garden that blooms in the moonlight, a great place to perform night time rituals, meditations, or to just take a midnight stroll. A garden that is full of magick even after the sun sets. 

Plants to add in your moonlight garden:

Moonflower: (Ipomoea alba) A nocturnal relative of the morning glory. Has fragrant flowers that open at dusk and close by dawn.    

Evening Primrose: (Oenothera biennis) Has beautiful, scented flowers that bloom only at dusk. 

Night Flox: (Zaluzianskya capensis) A sweetly fragranced flower that only unfurls its pinwheeled shaped flowers after dusk. 

Four O’Clock: (Mirabilis jalapa) Its scented flowers bloom at around 4:00pm (hence its name) and do not close up until morning. 

Queen of the Night: (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) A species of cactus whose flowers only open at night. Attracts moths and bats!!!

Night Blooming Jessamine: (Cestrum nocturnum) Strong, sweet scented star shaped flowers that only bloom at night. Attracts moths and bats!!! All parts are toxic, do not ingest!

Angel’s Trumpet: (Brugmansia) Produces a strong scent on warm summer evenings. All parts are toxic, do not ingest!

Evening Stock: (Matthiola longipetala) Produces lots of small blossoms that produce a perfume described as a mix of vanilla, rose, spice, and cloves only after the sun sets.

Ever-Flowering Gladiolus: (Gladiolus tristis) Release a strong almond fragrance after dusk.  

Lilac: (Syringa vulgaris) Although has a perfume during the day, it is said to be a lot stronger after dark. 

Flowering Tobacco: (Nicotiana) Open in the late afternoon and have a fragrance that smells of jasmine. All parts are toxic if ingested!

Summer Snapdragon: (Angelonia angustifolia) Preferably in white, to reflect the moonlight. Has a scent apple-scented foliage. 

Silvermound: (Artemisia schmidtiana) Has thick foliage that will shimmer under the moonlight.

Jack Frost: (Brunnera macrophylla) Hdeart shaped leaves of silver and green, perfect to add more highlights of silver to your moon lit garden. 

Any plant that blooms after dark or has white, lavender, pale pink, pale yellow on it is a perfect addition to your moonlight garden. 

Things to add:

Stepping stones that have the phases of the moon.

Fairy lights

A place to sit

Candles

A small fountain to sing along with the insects and birds of the night

String charms and bells on tree branches for a soft jingling every time a gentle breeze passes.

🌿💨 ~SMOKABLE HERBS~ 🌿💨

•Chamomile- When infused as a tea, the gold liquid relieves anxiety and is sedative. By smoking chamomile, you will earn the same benefits as of drinking chamomile tea.

By smoking chamomile you inhale the molecules it contains and in that way you consume the healthy properties of the herb. (Same as happens with cannabis)

•Lavender- When smoking lavender, you'll receive a relaxing feeling that can also be described as euphoric. However, you will never feel high when smoking lavender.which is why most mix it with cannabis .

•Mugwart- Many ancient cultures smoked mugwort to promote vivid dreams. It also produces a very mild psychotropic effect while you’re awake.

Smoking Qualities: This herb is a light smoke with a pleasant, slightly sweet flavor.

💥💥 note that mugwart can cause issues with pregnancy💥💥

•Blue lotus- The dried flowers of the Blue Lotus plant are smoked or steeped in a tea in order to give the user a sense of peaceful relaxation. Blue Lotus is noted for its calming euphoria, aphrodisiac qualities, and sedation.

•Mullein- Mullein has a long history of use as a lung tonic. It can actually help you stop coughing when you're sick. Smoking Qualities: The smoke is extremely light and mild, almost like smoking air, and virtually flavorless.

•Blue skullcap- Skullcap has a mild calming effect when smoked.

Smoking Qualities: This herb is a medium smoke, with a fairly neutral flavor.

•Red raspberry- Raspberry leaf contains a lot of medicinal compounds such as tannins,flavonoids, ellagic acid,vitamin A, C, potassium, calcium and phosphorus. Raspberry leaf is also useful to overcome various diseases such as diabetes, menstrual disorders, fertility disorders, diarrhea and others. Raspberry is often used as a herbal tea ingredients.

•Lions ear- The dried foliage of Leonotis - both Wild Dagga and Klip Dagga - can be used as a legal substitute for marijuana (ganja, cannabis, hemp).

* Smoking this dried herb gives an euphoric-like effect and exuberance.

* The flowers are the most potent part and can be smoked or used as a calming tea.

•Mint- Mints are used primarily to impart flavor to smoking blends. There are many varieties worth experimenting with, including spearmint, peppermint, chocolate mint, Close relatives of mint, including lemon balm (lemony flavor) and yerba buena (sweet menthol flavor), are often incorporated in smoking blends, as well.

•Spearmint- Smoking mint leaves improve blood circulation and relax nerves.

•White horehound- Women use white horehound for painful menstrual periods. unique herb native to the Mediterranean, white horehound is a very potent anti-inflammatory, specifically regarding respiratory inflammation.

•Peppermint- Peppermint leaves clears the lungs and respiratory passages and can make breathing easier.

•Angelica- Smoking the leaves of the Angelica plant is said to increase clairvoyance and visions.

•Coltsfoot- Coltsfoot is an expectorant, helping to free phlegm from the lungs.

•Bear berry-The smoking blend known as Kinnikinnick is said to increase gifts of vision and prophecy, purify ritual space, and carry prayers to the heavens. Combine equal parts Bearberry and Tobacco leaf. Smoke in a pipe, or burn as incense prior to magickal work.

•St. John’s wart- One of the most common medicinal herbs in the world, St John's Wort is best known as an all-around “feel good” plant. It's a mood stabilizer and enhancer that has been used for centuries to alleviate depression and melancholy. St John's Wort can also reduce symptoms of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). When smoked, St John's Wort acts as a mood-elevating sedative, erasing signs of tension throughout the body.

•Wormwood- contrary to popular belief, you won't bear witness to any dancing green goblins after ingesting this unique herb. It's a light anesthetic, providing relief to pain and muscle/menstrual cramps. Smoking wormwood releases mild effects that help reduce pain, headaches, and even rheumatism.

How to Make Your Own Herbal Smoking Blend

* Smoking mixtures are largely a matter of personal tastes and preferences – experiment with different herb combinations to see what suits you best – but here are the basics to get you started.

1. Harvest fresh, young leaves, ideally in the morning after the dew has evaporated.

2. Dry the leaves slowly indoors – try hanging them in bundles from the ceiling or spreading them out on a window screen(Don’t dry them fast in an oven, as you want the leaves to retain a bit of moisture for a smoother smoke.)

3. Once dry, crush the leaves by hand into an even consistency.

4. Combine according to the guidelines below:

~General Guidelines~

* Marijuana is the ideal “base” for smoking blends in my humble opinion. It should form about 50 percent of the mixture.

* Then add several other herbs for the “body” of the blend. Mugwort and skullcap create a headier smoke, while uva-ursi gives it more of a tobacco-like quality. Add a bit of coltsfoot if you’re lungs are irritated from frequent tobacco use. Combined, these herbs should constitute about 40 percent of the blend.

* Use flavoring herbs, like mints and sages, for the final 10 percent of the blend.

* If the blend is too harsh when you smoke it, trying spritzing the dried herbs with a spray bottle to reintroduce moisture.

* Store smoking blends in glass jars or resealable plastic pouches.

✨Please research each herb before you smoke it, because there are side effects to each of them especially if you're on other medications.✨

In Louisiana, we have roadside markets where they sell fruit and vegetables, sometimes honey. In the metropolitan areas, we have corner stores but I barely go to them though.
