Good Afternoon Witches!
I have a lil Texas hoodoo/Brujería sleep magic tip for y’all today!
If you are being plagued by nightmares (that are of the non spiritual attack variety) this charm may work wonders for ya!
I will have a follow up post shortly about what to do during Magical/Spiritual attacks during one’s sleep. Check back for that soon!
Again, on a regular non magical/spiritual attack note, some of us are plagued by sleeplessness, anxiety and whatnot before bed, so here is a little folk remedy I know-with a candidate that makes sense, but most wouldn’t realize:
Frankincense
Yes frankincense can help you sleep! Medically speaking it is a psychoactive anti depressant and both elevates the mood and relaxes. This can be utilized by burning some Frankincense tears on a coal or in oil form on a warmer. ***Note if you are prescribed anti depressants for medical depression this is not a substitute for your medication, but it can help. Please always consult a doctor***
Another folk practice is to make a paquette for sleep, it will help with anxiety before bed, protect from nightmares or fear of the dark.
First on a piece of parchment write out these words in this form:
S L E E P
P E A C E
S L E E P
On the parchment sprinkle some frankincense tears and some lavender buds if you wish (also aids in sleep/relaxation)
Fold the parchment paper one of two ways:
The hoodoo version you fold the paper toward you, rotate 90 degrees to the right and continue to fold toward you; rotate again, fold it toward you, turn it one more time and fold it once more.
For lxs Brujxs
Fold from top to center, bottom to center, left to center and then right. Finally close the paquette by folding it in half.
Whichever method you use, afterwards tie it closed with white string and place the paquette beneath your pillow-or if for a baby beneath the bed.
Photos are my own. The working is an adapted & known work, here. It has been featured in Anna Riva’s Magic with incense and powders.
