Today we made a rose oil potion from the flowers from my fathers altar. A mason jar with two table spoons of dried rose petals, a rose quartz stone, rose and lavender oil and a pinch of basil. We said encouraging words to him as we filled the jar w rose petals and then we filled his my giants mug w ashes.

.

First we smell the roses, then we pluck them. Then we dry the roses. Then we sob and light the candle. .

.

Rub the potion on your heart and forehead whenever you feel sad again. Or wear a locket around your neck w all your mens bones. Write the poem. Light the candle.

want an herbal bath this winter? ask. I am going to be trying new herbs and using new flowers. this month’s bath is rose, lavender, mugwort and chamomile.
