Cinnamon Vanilla Mabon Alter candle &Cinnamon Scented spell Paper
Faeriely Odd Witches



Cinnamon Vanilla Mabon Alter candle
Items needed;
Large vanilla candle
Dozen or more cinnamon sticks
You will also need several yards of thin natural green vine, such as the remaining vines of morning glory, or moon flowers.

Strip the leaves from the thin vine; begin by soaking the cinnamon sticks in warm water for a few minutes. This softens them up and opens up the curled ends so you can easily slip the vines through them. Save the warm cinnamon water for our next project!
Start by lacing and weaving the vine in and out of the cinnamon stick opens to form a small fence of cinnamon sticks big enough to go around your candle.
Once the cinnamon sticks are large enough to fit around your candle, wrap around the vanilla candle, and tie off with a piece of natural jute.
The candle is a wonderful affordable addition to your a Mabon Alter.
As the candle burns you’ll get the added pleasure of a nice scent of vanilla cinnamon.

Cinnamon Scented spell Paper

Items needed:
Cinnamon water
Tea bags
Paper

Heat the remaining water, that you used to soak the cinnamon sticks in, place bowl in microwave for a couple seconds until very warm, add your favorite tea bag, and place pieces of paper into the bowl.



Allow the paper to soak for about 30 minutes or until desired tint is reached. Then remove and dry flat, it will have a wonderful cinnamon scent that last for months, and is perfect for your BOS, or spell writing needs.

Fairy House
Faeriely Odd Witches
I made this little fairy house at the beginning of the summer. It was a lot of fun. I used a small bird house from the dollar store and covered it with bark and pine cone pieces, sticks and a sea shell. It was fun and looks real sweet! I still would like to make a second using white birch. I keep this on my window alter for the house fae to use. I'm not sure that it would hold up in the weather outdoors. Also, I noticed 2 more fairy rings outside! I just figured I'd do a little house blessing for it!

Fairies and Pixies, elves and gnomes.
Spinning some magic, spells for our homes.
Their wishes are happy, of joys to share.
Join in their revelry, if only you dare.
Carefree of spirit, their happiness impart
Sending you Magick, to store in your heart.

Corn Dolly for Lammas
Faeriely Odd Witches

I saved my corn husks and made a corn dolly. It was fun! I tied her with green ribbons from Mori with thoughts of prosperity going through my head! She is now sitting in my window sill alter drying and will be picking up the rays of the moon as it grows into full.

Corn of Gold
A dolly to hold.
Bless me with prosperity.
And keep or home illness free.

So Mote it Be!

Lavender Rose Geranium Sugar Scrub
Faeriely Odd Witches




On one of my walks I found a bunch of wild roses. I left them in this beautiful bowl I received from Mori to dry. Next I threw a bunch of things together-


My recipe-

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. vitamin E
  • 8 drops rose geranium essential oil
  • 5 drops lavender essential oil
  • A big pinch of dried roses
  • A big pinch of dried lavender (from Mori's garden)



Instructions:
Combine sugar and oil, add vitamin e, e.o's and herbs.

Mix up. Keep in jar.


Sugar is good for really dry spots. I have actually been using this on my heels, hands and elbows. My heels are so dry from flip flop weather and I think this helps. Also, the rose geranium is supposed to keep ticks away, which is why I bought the stuff. We have so many ticks around here and Lyme's Disease is really getting out of hand. Maybe this might help to keep those nasty things off my ankles!

Faerie garden wand
Faeriely Odd Witches

I decided after all the high winds and storms, that the Air faeries must have arrived, to aplease them I decided to make something light & Airy, and add a bit of color to the garden as well....
I used a simple fairy wing pattern only much much smaller, added a little bit of this, a little of this color ribbon and that and few butterflies.. and suddenly there it was my very own garden fairy wand.

Tiny wild Blessing Basket
Faeriely Odd Witches


I took a tiny basket, and filled with all things wild and small, tiny grains and grasses that normally grow so tall, cut them down to fairy size, and suddenly they became tiny wild treasures,
a tiny fallen feather, mulberries just the right size, a baby pine cone, makes for the perfect fit, along with pine needles, filled it to the brim with lavendar buds and whole cloves, to give it a nice fresh scent! i'm sure the faeries will love it, and it will set their little faces all a glow!
