Self-Esteem Dream Pillow
Witches practice meditation before going to sleep. This can help you control your dreams. Dream pillows or a bowl of herbs on your nightstand will help you to remember your dreams and ease many of life’s problems. The ingredients in the following dream pillow are for self-esteem. Choose three love herbs ruled by Venus from the following list:
dried celery leaves
damiana
raspberry
strawberry
grape leaves
rose petals
savory
tulips
Then add the following dream herbs: mugwort, agrimony, rowan, angelica, star anise, anise horehound, peppermint, and red clover. Cut two pieces of fabric, one foot square, for the front and back. Buy cotten filling from a crafts shop. Charge your herbs saying, “These sacred herbs will bring sweet, healthy, happy and productive dreams for me.” Place the herbs in between the cotton filling. Sew three sides of the fabric together, repeating, “Every stitch shall bring to me perfect sleep and harmony.” Place the herbs and the filling into the pillow and sew the fourth side.
