A Gift for Yule-- Stratified Spices



What could be simpler and easier than creating these layered spices? Why, doing something "witchy" of course!

Okay, now we step outside the cowan box. Think of mixing your own herbal creations, such as some of the bath mixes I'll post later in the weeks ahead. Wouldn't it be nice to give a person a money bath mix in a container that matches his/her bathroom? How about a Citrus Cleanse bath salt?

Now let's really pump up the magick and put in a money symbol painted, etched, or drawn on the jar in green. How about a green bow, or some green crystals on the top?

Are you getting ideas now?

Doing it for bath salts and more would be great fun too.
