Eye Harvester's Witchcraft 101

#W101

For the Kitchen Witch, Herbalist, Green Witch,

Some witchy things to do everyday, is get a string, and two hooks or nails or whatever, and run
about 3 or for feet of heavy duty string across your ceiling, out of the way, near the Kitchen.

This is to dry herbs on. You'll see, in the pictures below, how I do it, just a cord against the wall,
across from the Kitchen, attached to the sheetrock with little screw in hooks. I use bits of old
wire to hang my plants, but paper clips, or bits of thread works fine, little bread ties, whatever.

This way, whatever you find, or grow, or any fresh plant can be preserved by air drying. This
preserves the oils in the plants, for use later, in healing, incense, smudging bundles, arts and
crafts, and so many things you can use plants for.

In my (in no way humble) opinion, every single magick user should have plants hanging in their
house, period. From wildflowers for beauty and aroma, to plants for incense and potpourri, even
medicine, especially magick, and for that old school Cottage Witch look and feel of it, people
expect a witch to have some plants hanging to dry, near the Cauldron (kitchen), and it's nice to
hang an exotic, eclectic variety of things, 1, in case you need it, 2, it looks super magickal, and
earthy, and REAL. Because it is.

So hang your plants upside down. That both allows gravity to do the work that the xylem cells
were doing while it lived, and keeps the goid juice from leaking out.

Pick any old flowers you like (but not all of them, don't extinct a plant for personal use), pick
stuff from the garden, wildcraft herbs and mushrooms, (Yes, dry some mushrooms), and when
it's done, put it in old spice jars or baby food cans or little bags, and use it. For magick.
It's easy, fun the whole family, and just Google all that cool stuff you can do with flowers, and
leaves, not even counting the medicine and magick to be had. And, doesn't it look super Witchy?

Brightest Blessings

PS, I don't say it enough, but I love all of you humans, granted I love pagans a lot more, we are
the true keepers of the old ways.

But I know, many of you, like me, are really Social Justice Warriors, in the streets, signs in
hand, volunteering and acting and voting, together, and you are the blessed few, and I love you
most.

Never give up. Never surrender.
