~Crystals~
Crystals have been used in magick for eons and each on has its own healiing abilities and unique qualities. Crystals amplify energy that is around them and when used in rituals can amplify the intentions of enrgy that is focused on them. Crystals used in ritual should have their own little bag but if you like to keep them around your home or office make sure you cleanse them from time to time as they can pick up negative energy quite easily.Crystals are nature's gift to help us transform and heal ourselves and can be used in many ways. They can be used to expand your psychic or intuitive abilities and hence work with energy and vision; they also a great aid for meditation; they are wonderful tools for creative visualisation and can be programmed to help the achievment of our goals. Through crystals we can heal ourselves and others, bringing greater clarity and fulfillment into our lives. Crystals can be seen as a bridge from our apparently fixed physical world into another level of existence from which we can create a new reality.

Herbs
Herbal magick or Wortcunning, as it is known by country folk, is an essential part of magick making. The use of medicinal properties of herbs, spices and plants is as old as time and it is only in recent centuries that scientists have turned their back on the natural healing resources the earth supplies. Modern medicine has produce miracles, but it is a shame that alternative medicine is often viewed with skepticism by the medical profession..
Plants, trees, shrubs, herbs and spices also embody different magickal qualities, which resonate with the planetary forces in our solar system. These properties have been used since the earliest times as well. Herb magick is easy because the power or vibrations lie in the herbs themselves. A few procedures are all that are necessary. These procedures include: tying knots, boiling water, lighting candles, sewing and burying things in the earth. More important than the simplicity perhaps, is the fact that herb magick works.
It works when there is a reason to call upon the magickal powers. This reason is a need, a desire often presents itself as a need, but in magick a 'desire' is not enough, the must be an all encompassing need. The nature of the need determines which plants are used. Next a spell or ritual may need to be devised, some herb magick doesn't need a spell or ritual but others do. The herbs are also best used if enchanted first, this is to ensure that their vibrations are attuned to the need.
Oils, incense and ointments are made from herbs, plants and flowers. Herb magick is a specialised form that utilises the power of the plants. This is the realm of incense, oils, baths, brews and tinctures. An act of herb magick can be as simple as rubbing a scented oil onto a coloured candle, setting it in a holder, lighting it and visualising your magickal need. There are more complex rituals but you're the one calling the shots.
Herb magick is a personal art, one in which the practitioner must actually participate.

~ Oils ~
Scented and essential oils have been used for centuries for all sorts of things. Throughout history people have been aware of the effects scented plants and flowers have on their mind, bodies and emotions. In the beginning oils were used to heal, now they are part of everyday life and can be used in baths, to anoint sacred objects as part of ritual and ceremony, massage and oil burners. Essential oils are volatile oily substances and are highly concentrated vegetable extracts that contain hormones, vitamins, antibiotics and antiseptics. In a way essential oils represent the spirit or soul of the plant.
The origin of aromatherapy is usually attributed to ancient Egypt and India. SInce the earliest ages of humanity aromatic functions have been used in daily rituals and during religious ceremonies as an expression and a reminder of an all pervasive sacredness.
Modern aromatherapy was born at the turn of the century with the works of French chemist R.M. Gattefosse and has since attracted interest everywhere. Many studies have been conducted by laboratory scientists and by practicing therapists. Essential oils have hundreds of chemical compounds most of them in very small amounts. We know that certain trace elements are fundamental for life.
Even though aromatherapy can help relieve symptoms, it primarily aims at curing the diseases. The main therapeutic action of essential oils consists in strengthening the organs and their functions and acting on the defense mechanism of the body. Essential oils do not do the job for the body, they help the body do its own job and thus do not weaken the organism. Essential oils are considered the life force, the energy of the plant.

~ Witches Bottle Spell ~
For home protection.
Take a small bottle or jar- a clean, empty baby food jar works great-
and fill it with found sharp objects. ie: items you pick up on the ground
outside. You can use items already in your possession, but it works better
if you take the time and effort to use found objects. Try a construction
site for lots of nails, staples, glass, etc.- but BE CAREFUL! Don't hurt
yourself. As you add each item to the jar, charge it with protective
energies. Once the jar is full, charge it with the intent that it is to protect
your home, and any negative energies that come near your home will be
repelled by the sharp objects. Seal the jar and bury it outside, close to
your house where it won't be dug up.
