I’ll post more as I can find them and verifiy their existance!! :) I know there is one or two in Moab and one in Hurricane, Utah.  And there was once a couple in Provo/Orem area… but I need to do a little research to see if they’re still around. 

Happy Shopping!  These are PHYSICAL stores..   they do have an online presence most of them, but these are places you can walk in to!  some have amazing store clerks who are willing to share their knowledge and expertise, some offer classes, and many offer readings etc.

Seek and ye shall find :)

Lammas Rebirth Incense

 

This recipe is for loose incense, but you can adapt it for stick or cone recipes. As you mix and blend your incense, focus on the intent of your work. In this particular recipe, we’re creating an incense to use during a Lammas rite -- it’s a time to celebrate the beginning of the harvest. We’re thankful for the foods we’ve grown, and for the bounty of the earth, and the knowledge that we’ll have enough to eat through the coming winter months. You’ll need:

• 1 part basil
• 1/2 part cinnamon bark
• 1 part coriander
• 2 parts goldenrod
• 1 part heather
• 1/2 part rosemary
• 2 parts Sweet Annie (you can use dried apple blossoms if you don’t have Sweet Annie)
• 1 part yarrow

Mix up The Magick!

Add your ingredients to your mixing bowl one at a time.

Measure carefully, and if the leaves or blossoms need to be crushed, use your mortar and pestle to do so.

As you blend the herbs together, state your intent.

You may find it helpful to charge your incense with an incantation, such as:

We’re thankful this day for the gift of rebirth,
Fruits and vegetables, the bounty of earth.
For the Harvest Mother with her basket and scythe,
Abundance and fertility, and the blessings of life.
We’re grateful for the gifts we carry within
And for what will become, and what has been.
A new day begins, and life circles round,
As grain is harvested from the fertile ground.
Blessings to the earth and to the gods from me,
As I will this Lammas, so it shall be.

Store your incense in a tightly sealed jar.

Make sure you label it with its intent and name, as well as the date you created it.

Use within three months, so that it remains charged and fresh.

House Cleansing Spell

This spell will help remove negative energy and unwanted/unwelcomed energy from your home.

You Will Need:

1 tablespoon powdered garlic
1 tablespoon peppermint
1 tablespoon ground clove
1 tablespoon dried or powdered thistle
Handful of sweet-grass
Sage or dried oak leaves

Salt

White Candle

 

Take a large bowl of salt and sprinkle a pinch or two over the exterior doorways and windowsills of home. Make sure you get every single one!

Choose the room that has the strongest negative feel to it.

Light a white candle.

In a large fire proof bowl combine the the rest of the ingredients:  Garlic, Peppermint, Clove, Thistle, SweetGrass, and Sage or Oak Leaves.

Carefully light the mixture so that it smolders and gives off an aromatic smoke.

Leaving the candle lit, carry the bowl in to each room and repeat the following:

In the name of the Eternal Lady and Lord I bid thee part.
I consecrate and clear this space.
Let nothing but joy linger here.
So Mote it Be!

When you have done each room, return to the first, set the bowl beside the candle and wait for the remaining mixture to burn out.

Taking  the ash outside and sprinkling it over the grass/flowerbed/etc, is a great way to give back to the Earth and helps keep unwelcome energy at bay :)
