Dream Pillows |
One of the popular magics for herbs is fashioning dream pillows. These are little pillows stuffed with herbs to affect a desired result and placed under the pillow of the person to be affected. They make great gifts for Imbolc. The color of the pillow varies as do the herbs depending on the purpose for which it is made. Combinations of colors can also be used. For Imbolc, the typical herb mixes stuffed into the pillow are mugwort, rosemary, and hops, or lavendar, mugwort, and rose. Herbs for dreaming should be collected during the waxing or full moon.
The colors for the pillow material (cotton is best for herbal containers as it is a natural plant fiber) are white for meditation; lavendar for psychic growth; green for balance; pink for emotional love; purple for intuition and spiritual development; yellow for clairvoyence and divination. These can also be combined. It just depends on the desired affect.
