Harvesting, Drying and Storing
Herbs
While the herbs from your garden are best when
used freshly picked, there are always more than
you can use in one season. Dried herbs offer the
next best thing to fresh. Air drying herbs is not
only the easiest and least expensive way to dry
fresh herbs but this slow drying process can also
help retain the essential oils of the herbs, so they
don't lose all their scent and flavor.
To retain the best flavor of these herbs, you will
either need to allow them to dry naturally or use a food dehydrator. A microwave or an
oven set on low may seem like a convenient shortcut, but they actually cook the herbs to a
degree, diminishing the oil content and flavor. Use them only as a last resort.

When To Harvest Your Herbs For Drying


For the fullest flavor, harvest herbs before they flower. If you've been harvesting branches all
season, your plants probably never get a chance to flower. However, by late summer, even
herbs that have not flowered will start to decline as the weather cools. This is a good time to
begin harvesting and drying your herbs.
Cut branches in mid-morning. Let the morning dew dry from the leaves, but pick before
the plants are wilting in the afternoon sun.
Do not cut the entire plant, unless you plan on replacing it. You should never cut back by
more than two-thirds or remove more than about one-third of a plant's branches at one
time.

How To Dry Fresh Herbs


1. Cut healthy branches from your herb plants.
2. Remove any dry or diseased leaves. Yellowed leaves and leaves spotted by a disease are
not worth drying. Their flavor has already been diminished by the stress of the season.
3. Shake the branches gently to remove any insects. There are always hitchhikers and
since you won't be thoroughly washing the stems, you want to get rid of as many as
you can now.
4. If you've picked your herbs while the plants are dry, you should be able to simply
shake off any excess soil. Rinse with cool water only if necessary and pat dry with

153
paper towels. Hang or lay them out where they will get plenty of air circulation, so
they can dry out quickly. Wet herbs will mold and rot.
5. Remove the lower leaves along the bottom inch or so of the stem. You can use these
leaves fresh or dry them separately.
6. Bundle 4 - 6 stems together and tie as a bunch. You can either use a string or a rubber
band. The bundles will shrink as they dry and the rubber band will loosen, so check
periodically that the bundle is not slipping. Make small bundles if you are trying to
dry herbs with high water content, so they get air flow between the branches and do
not rot.
7. Punch or cut several holes in a paper bag. Label the bag with
the name of the herb you are drying.
8. Place the herb bundle upside down into the bag. You can
include the loose leaves you removed from the bottom inch of
the stems if you like.
9. Gather the ends of the bag around the bundle and tie closed.
Make sure the herbs are not crowded inside the bag.
10. Hang the bag upside down in a warm, airy room.
11. Check in about two weeks to see how things are progressing.
Keep checking weekly until your herbs are dry enough to
crumble and ready to store.

Drying Seeds
To dry herb seeds, cut stems with seed heads just as the heads begin to turn brown. Gather
them into small bunches and hang the bunches upside down in paper bags that have
ventilation holes punched in the sides of the bags. Hang the bags in a warm, well-
ventilated area out of the sun to dry.
Once dry, the seeds can be shaken from the seed heads. Carefully rub the seeds to separate
seed from the capsules. Laying the seeds on a clean flat surface and gently blowing across
the seeds will help remove any debris and chaff.
Collect the seeds and store in sealed containers. Seeds may take longer to dry than leaves.
Make sure the seeds are thoroughly dry before storing to avoid the possibility of the seeds
becoming moldy.

154
Storing Dried Herbs
1. Store your dried herbs in airtight containers. Small canning jars work nicely. Zippered
plastic bags will do as well.
2. Be sure to label and date your containers.
3. Your herbs will retain more flavor if you store the leaves whole and crush them when
you are ready to use them.
4. Discard any dried herbs that show the slightest sign of mold. It will only spread.
5. Place containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. There are now amber
colored canning jars that block sunlight.

155
Useful Mixtures
Here are some handy recipes for making common witch concoctions, including those used
in Hoodoo.

Herb Infused Oil (Slow Method)


Materials needed:
 Good quality dried herb
 Oil - Grapeseed recommended
 Natural wax paper
 Clean, dry glass jar with tight-fitting lid
 Vitamin E oil (optional) Figure 590: Infusing oil
 Intention
 The sun or a consistently warm area

This is a folk method which means we are going to eyeball it and not measure or weigh. If
you are more comfortable using measurements, the ratio is approximately 1 ounce of dried
herb to 10 ounces of oil.
Do not wash the herb or introduce any water to the process by using a wet jar or wet spoon
for mixing. Fill the jar about half full with the dried herb and cover completely with oil of
your choice. Take a spoon or chopstick and gently stir the mixture making sure that all the
plant material is well covered with oil.
Before putting on the lid, cover the top of the jar with a small square of natural wax paper
then screw on the lid. The wax paper will prevent any harmful chemicals that may be
coating the inside of your lid from contaminating the oil.
Heat is what helps infuse the oil so place the jar in a warm spot, but not directly in the
sunlight unless you are using a dark colored bottle or jar. Take the jar in your hands and roll
back and forth to make sure that the herb is well saturated with oil.
Leave the oil steeping for 4-6 weeks. Be sure to check on it every few days and give it a
gentle roll back and forth. This helps to release the herbal properties and keeps everything
well covered.
After six weeks the oil will be ready to decant. Place a cheesecloth-lined strainer inside a
large bowl with spout. Pour the content from your jar into the strainer. Gather the ends of
the cheesecloth together and squeeze the remaining oil from the herb into the bowl. You’ll
want to squeeze hard to get every last drop! Pour the oil into prepared bottles or jars and
add a couple drops of vitamin E oil. Keep this oil in a cool, dark place.

156
Herb Infused Oil (Less Slow Method)
First follow the directions of the Slow Method above until you
have a jar filled.
Place the herb and oil filled jar on a heating element such as a hot
plate or perhaps a radiator for 10 days. If using this method you Figure 591: Heat Infusion
will keep the jar open as this will promote water evaporation.
This heat source should not be warmer than 125ºF (50ºC) at any given time. After 10 days
this infused oil can be decanted and stored following the directions above.
Place the herb-filled jar in a saucepan that has been filled ¼ full of water, simmer for 4-8
hours. Remove jar from the saucepan and allow to cool. Decant, bottle, label, and store in a
cool dark place.
Most infused oils generally last for a year or longer. Do be mindful of oils going rancid and
discard if it begins to smell off.

Black Salt
Black salt is a traditional hoodoo spell ingredient. It's used for
purification, protection, absorbing negativity, and driving away
evil. On the other side of the coin, it's also used in hexing and
vengeance.
To rid evil and negativity from one’s home, sprinkle black salt on
Figure 592: Black Salt
the floor and then sweep it up and out the front door and off the
porch toward the street.
The basic recipe for black salt is this:
Ingredients:
 2 parts sea salt
 1 part scrapings from a cast iron skillet or pot
 1 part fine ash from your fire pit especially if it’s from a ritual fire
 1 part finely ground black pepper

However, you can also make black salt by combining salt with just enough crushed charcoal
to turn the colour of the salt black. You can find charcoal in any art shop, as it's used as a
sketching implement. However, also adding ash of incense and herbs you've burned is a
good way to kick it up a notch.
The beauty about making Black Salt is that aside from the basic recipe you can add
something to it for a specific purpose and to make it specific to your aura, your energy, your
intent.

157
How to dispose of Black Salt:
If you've used black salt in cursing or hexing, you're going to want to get rid of it
eventually. After all, you don't need to keep it hanging around.
There are a few easy ways to dispose of it. You can take it somewhere far from your home
and bury it; many Hoodoo and Conjure practitioners recommend burying it near a
crossroads or even a graveyard. You can also toss it into moving water, like a stream or river.
Make sure the water really is moving, though — you don't want the salt just swirling
around in one stagnant spot. Finally, consider disposal by fire. If you choose to use this
method, however, be sure to take the ashes far away and bury them — don't use them for
later magical applications.

Moon Water
Moon Water is water that has been charged with the light and
energy of the Moon, either in the New Moon stage or the Full
Moons stage. It is further imbued with energy by the sign the
Moon is in for that Lunar Cycle.
Figure 593: Moon Water
Creating Moon Water:

Full Moon.
2. Choose your water from a clean pure source, especially if you’re going to be ingesting
it.
3. Choose the appropriate bottle for the sign, though any bottle will do. Glass or ceramic
is preferable, and always easy to clean.
4. For New Moon Water, you can charge it for up to nights STARTING on the night of/
after the New Moon commences.
5. For Full Moon Water, you can charge it starting 2 nights prior to the Full Moon.
6. Choose a place outside that is safe, flat and won’t be disturbed.
7. ALWAYS cover your bottle of water so nothing falls inside.
8. Cleanse the space with incense of choice to clear the space, but also mark it for it’s
intentional use
9. Place the bottle on the wooded etched Moon Grid or something that designates that
space as sacred. (Crystals can also be used)
10. A ring of salt can also be placed around the space where the bottle full of water sits for
protection.

158
11. Speak the following incantation or one that you’re inspired to create for yourself:
Mother Moon
Shine Your Light
Imbue This Water
Throughout The Night
12. Leave the bottle out over night for up to 3 nights using the guidance stated above.
13. Retrieve the water in the early morning hours before the Sun hits it.
14. Store in a safe place.

Care and Keep:


 Use clean pure water – filtered, bottled, etc.
 Keep bottle covered when not in use.
 If you’re going to drink the water, use within the first 2 weeks if you’ve kept it covered.
 Treat as you would bottled water.
 If you’re using as an ingredient in other potions that will not be ingested, water can be
kept longer to indefinitely. An example would be if you’re adding salt to make a
cleansing ritual water. This can be kept as long as needed.
 If you’ve kept your water for the course of an entire solar year, discard and make a new
batch at that particular Moon sign.
