Middle Earth Magic: Inspired Ideas and Seasonal Spells for Your Enchanted Life
I grew up on a farm in West Virginia and learned much about herbs, trees, animals, gardening, foraging and so much about nature. I incorporate this wisdom I learned from elders in my family into my spellwork. When I finally left the farm, I majored in Medieval Studies, my attempt to emulate my idol, J.R.R. Tolkien. All these influences led me to my own blended brew which I call "middle earth magic," containing a mix of the modern and the time-tested "old ways."
Pleasure of Paradise Sensual Scrub
Sandalwood, amber, and vetiver are all rich, earthy scents that combine well together.
5 drops sandalwood essential oil
5 drops amber essential oil
2 drops vetiver essential oil
½ cup Epsom salts
½ cup baking soda
Combine essential oils with Epsom salts and stir in the baking soda. Mix well; the mixture will
become a richly scented paste. You can use it a couple of different ways: one is to slather it onto
yourself and shower off with a loofah and thick washcloth. But my favorite way to completely
soak up this earthly pleasure is to roll it into a ball after you mix it and place under the faucet as
you are running a hot bath. The entire room will smell like paradise. Soak it all in; lie back and
enjoy this fully.
If you want to store some for the future or give this scrub as a thoughtful gift, you can store it in
a lidded plastic one-cup container or roll it into bath bomb balls and let dry on wax paper or
paper towels. This recipe will make three palm size bath bombs. Note, you will be asked for
more!
