Catnip Beauty Spell Lover

Catnip is a love herb, and it is good to use a pinch in sachets or incense with other love herbs (especially good when used in combination with rose petals). It's element is water and it's planet is Venus. The deity associated with Catnip is Bast (big surprise), and the magical use of the herb is love, animal contacts, happiness, and beauty. Many magic users use the dryed leaves of a Catnip plant as bookmarks for their book of shadows or personal magical books. When you give the herb to your cat, it creates a psychic bond between you. If it is grown near or around your home it attracts good luck. Use Catnip in spells to bring about more beauty to your life or your personal appearance. Catnip in a sachet with rose petals is thought to attract lovers, while the steam from catnip tea is thought to aid beauty and health.


Catnip is ruled by Venus. Its element is water and its energy is considered feminine. Catnip is attributed to the Egyptian goddess Bast/Bastet, the cat-headed goddess. If you hold catnip in your hand until it is warm, then hold anyone else's hand, they will forever be your friend, as long as you keep the catnip you used in the spell in some safe place.





Glamour and Beauty Spell

The best time to perform this spell is during the Full Moon, although, you can also do it on a Friday during the Waxing Moon.

Ingredients/Tools:
Bowl of spring water
Herbs for beauty, such as lavender and catnip
A white rose that has been separated from the stem
Mirror

A ritual bath or purification ritual is recommended before performing this spell to sort‑of 'clean the slate' and allow Magick to start anew.

Cast the circle and become calm and centered. Sit or stand facing the West. Pour the spring water into the bowl and hold it up to the Western corner. Say:

I hail to the West and the forces of Water. Hear and aid me in this Magick tonight. Grant me your beauty, Shape and form this face and body and let me radiate with self‑love. With harm towards none, and for the free will of all, So mote it be.

Set afloat the rose on top of the water and stir it with your fingers three times round in a clockwise motion. Take the flower out of the water and hold it in your hands. Say:

By the powers of the West, The forces of Water, I charge this flower with love. Beauty is here; it shines with the power. Beauty is here, Contained in this flower.

Keep the flower in a box along with catnip and/or lavender to remind you of your true beauty. If a friend or loved one needs the power of love and beauty, tell them the story of the rose you have blessed and give them the rose to continue it's power. I hope you enjoyed this spell, and I hope you see the true beauty with your hearts.




Sometimes in a long relationship, it's easy to lose the 'thrill' and before you know it, bedroom activities just don’t feel the same. In order to add a little pizzazz to your lovemaking, you may want to seek out a love spell that energizes your love life with playfulness and passion. Catnip is known for its mesmerizing effect on domestic cats. When grown in the wild, the plant has the power to sedate the feline. However, when used in a love spell, you can encourage your partner to use a little of his or her imagination. In order to see results, all you need is a couple of teaspoons of catnip in its dried form. Make sure that it is chopped. Sew a piece of cloth around the catnip and hang it over your bed. This ingredient is perfect for promoting your love to become more adventurous and daring. Catnip has been around for quite some time, as it is sacred to Bast, the Egyptian cat goddess.


Catnip are used by many folks for Luck in Love Affairs. CATNIP is called a Woman's Love Herb because it is said to make women enticing and charming to thus to make men ready and increase their nature -- and for this reason, we hear that women use it to aid in bringing about relations. Some of our customers tell us that if you carry CATNIP in a flannel bag, the man you want will be attracted to you like a Cat to CATNIP. They also say that you can use it in an herbal bath, sprinkle it at the 4 corners of the bed, or burn it with incense to attract a new lover. Another way we have heard to employ it is to soak CATNIP LEAVES in whiskey and sprinkle the liquid on your doorstep for 21 days, starting on the full moon. We make no claims for CATNIP LEAVES, and sell as a genuine Curio only.

Vegetarian



Animals can be given a vegetarian diet, although not a naturally vegan - cats are carnivores. By the way natural cat will not eat anything like what is often found in pet food can also. We can understand why humans decided to maintain a vegetarian diet for many reasons vegetarian diet. Diet advice to ensure life. Special diets must be provided for cats, because they require an amino acid called taurine - found in animal muscles. Synthetic taurine has been developed (and has has been used in commercial (non vegetarian) pet foods for years), and vegetarian cats should be fed as a supplement. Taurine deficiency can cause blindness and even death. Cats also require pre-formed vitamin A and arakidonat. To cure the acid, cats can search through the grass. We can see how the cats eat grass and dew bead. This is use to be a madicine its can neutralise can stomach acid in the cat. Ask your veterinarian about changing your pet food. To provide vegetables to the cat rather impossible because cat is a carnivore. So the use of the extracted cat food can teach a cat with a diet of vegetables. At the time, a decision most cat owners to go to a vegetarian diet is really more of an ethical choice rather than one based health. If you're thinking along the lines of ethics, perhaps you could consider the reasons why you force your cat to eat a diet that contrary to the nature and may place the health risks. If you decide to keep to a vegetarian diet for your cat, do regularly consult with your vet and bring him to an additional examination each year.

catnip tincture

Catnip is harvested at peak potency from and steeped in organic alcohol for a minimum of six weeks. Catnip (Nepeta cataria) has been used historically as a mild tranquilizer that helps relieve stress and stimulate the appetite. Catnip herb has also been used to treat anxiety, colds, flu, fever, inflammation, and general aches and pains. This cat‚’s fancy has also been shown to be effective as a mosquito and insect repellent.It is also used with restlessness, nervous irritation, nervous headaches, insomnia, amenorrhea and dysmenorrhea.

Catnip is also available in tincture form to take by mouth or apply topically. A tincture is a herbal preparation made by diluting the herb in alcohol. A catnip tincture or crushed catnip can be applied to a compress to treat cuts and scrapes. The principles behind making tinctures are to obtain the spiritual and physical quintessence of the plant. This is done by using ethyl alcohol to dissolve and preserve the herb you are using. The material used to extract the herbs is known as the menstrum. The herbs you are tincturing are called the mark. Tincturing will extract and maintain both the water-soluble and alcohol-soluble properties of an herb. The material used to extract the herbs is known as the menstrum. The herbs you are tincturing are called the mark. Tincturing will extract and maintain both the water-soluble and alcohol-soluble properties of an herb.


To cook up your own tinctures, you need either ">dried or fresh cut catnip herbs, vodka, brandy or rum, 80 - 100 proof to pour over the herbs, mason jars complete with lids, unbleached muslin or cheesecloth, ands of course, labels. We usually make tinctures with all-natural brandy or 80 proof vodka, but last summer we discovered a whole new take on a Catnip tincture. We found a thriving stand of Catnip growing wild at the beach, and wanted to put it up fresh as it loses potency when dried. All we had on hand was tequila, so that's what we used. Result: an effective medicinal tincture with a pleasant minty after taste.


Here's how you do it:
Pack a pint (or larger) clean glass jar with fresh Catnip. Harvest just before it blooms for greatest strength. Pour in tequila (we used gold) to cover all of the herb, cap, label, and date. Put away in a cupboard for 10 days to two weeks, then strain into another clean jar. Pour into glass dropper bottles for use. Dose: 1-2 droppersful 3-4 times per day as necessary for cramps. And don't drive after dosing -- take a Cat nap!


At the beginning inspect the tincture daily to be sure the vodka, brandy or rum still is covering the catnip herbs. Allow the brew to steep for at least 2 weeks and up to 3 months. Line a sieve with the cheesecloth or muslin and pour the fluid through the sieve into a fresh, clean bottle. Draw in the ends of the cheesecloth and press to get all of the tincture. Now fill smaller bottles with droppers with the tincture. Be sure to tag the jar with the name of the catnip herb and the day, the month and the year that it was produced.


Tinctures are made with herbs and grain alcohol. Small quantities of tinctures are effective. They are stable, convenient, and probably represent the actual chemistry of the herb more closely than any other preparation. Tinctures are quickly and readily absorbed into the bloodstream and are not dependent upon the efficiency of digestion which is an advantage over tablets and capsules. Absorption is a bit more efficient if taken between meals. To use the tincture, drop one teaspoon into juice, water, or tea, three times per day.




Many people are making their own tinctures from dried and fresh herbs in an attempt to be more involved in their health. Tinctures of fresh herbs have proven to be more vitalizing and longer lasting than dried herbs. Dried herbs tend to get moldy or be eaten by insects; tinctures will not. Tinctures will keep for as long as two years and sustain their potency if stored properly. Creating your own tinctures will save you quite a bit of money. If you buy tinctures at a retail shop you might get a few ounces but if you create them yourself you can yield a quart.
