This extra powerful amulet is sometimes called as
the Nine Herbs of August, or
August Herbs. The
Christians adopted the knowledge of their ancestors devoting this Amulet to
Virgin Mary. It was said that by devoting this Herbs to Mary they would be protected all year and be blessed.
The Recipe requires nine herbs cut. For extra potency of the herbs they should be harvested the August Eve, on July 31. The Books of Shadows suggest that they should also be gathered by the one who casts the spell and with bare hands.
No metallic / iron knife should be used, only ritual crystal knives some Books of Shadows suggest. Some also point out that the Mage/Witch/Wizard/Socercer/Shaman should be walking barefoot in nature while searching for these herbs.
TIP! Because
Magical Recipes Online is a free Magazine on Occult and Magic which is addressed primarily to Modern people, we understand that most of these directions are inapplicable to nowadays. We advice you that if you cannot avoid the directions do it anyway! The spell will still be powerful and you can always repeat it every year and empower it more.
TIP! Gathering herbs and spring water for Magical Purposes (Spells and Rituals) is often refered in Books of Shadows and Grimoires as a silent practice. “Silence is Gold” is a very famous alchemical proverb which probably derives from depictions of Isis, the Mistress / Goddess of Magic who suggests Silence during spells.
The 9 Herbs that should be gathered are:
* Sage (scientific name: Salvia Officinalis)
* Mugwort (scientific name: Artemisia Vulgaris)
* Arnica (scientific name: Arnica Montana)
