Tea, brews, and potions

Posted on February 23, 2012 | 1 Comment

You don’t often hear the term ‘potion’ any more, but it provokes the idea of poison or medicine that you drink, used for a multitude of purposes. But then, tea can also provide the same result so what is the difference between tea and potions?



While tea has a basic recipe of benign herbs, and the tea plant, potions can be a mixture of plants, bark, and even things like blood, tears, or crushed stone. You can also add tea to potions. Purposes to drink such mixtures can be for healing, poison, or even things like love.



Potions also don’t have to be consumed. They can be rubbed on the skin, poured on something, or used in spells. A few drops here and there, dabbed on the skin, or added to brews can add a bit more oomph to your magick.



You can also find or make tinctures (concentrated solutions of an herb/plant with vodka or other solution), that often offer medicinal value.

Brew for the common cold



Anise seed (1 part)

Coltsfoot leaves (2 parts)

Lungwort (2 parts)

Steep 2 tsp. in 1/2 cup boiling water.

Add this tea to 1-1/2 cups althea tea which has been prepared by soaking 1 tbsp.althea root, leaves and/or flowers in 1/2 cup cold water for 8 hours.

Take the mixture with honey, in mouthful doses

Brew for Headache or Insomnia



Put a pinch of Willow bark, Chamomile, Wild Clover, and a Catnip in a coffee filter in your coffee maker, with enough water for one serving.

Brew. (For insomnia, don't include Willow bark in the mixture.)

Within about 15 minutes to half and hour of drinking the mixture, you should feel quite tired and less sore.

Be sure to have a comfortable place to sleep.

Dream Potion, ( to be used before bed)



Take a chamomile tea and add spearmint leaves, lemon grass, passionflower blossoms, just a few of each, and add it to the hot water and tea.

When you drink the tea mix, and are ready for bed, think of nice thoughts.

The places and your dreams will seem real, like you are there.

When you awake, if you remember your dreams write them down.

It`s a good way to learn, and share

A Cider Potion For Strength



If cider is pressed When the apples are warm,

It`s russet taste Must turn you strong;

Heat it with cloves With cinnamon long,

Turn my skull To an iron wall,

My ribs to iron rails.
