How Do I Whistle Up A Wind When I Can't, Well, Whistle? I Tried, But My Whistling Is Quite Lack Luster

How do I whistle up a wind when I can't, well, whistle? I tried, but my whistling is quite lack luster ever since I had braces, since they were used to close the gap between my teeth which was how I whistled. Is there another way?

Hi abbadons-little-witch, if youcan’t whistle there are lots of other ways to summon wind. You can:

Use a glass bottle(blow over the rim of the bottle);

Use a whistle madeout of alder or willow wood (or any whistle really);  

Throw a handful ofBroom (the herb) into the air;

Bullroarers (a longflat wooden blade on a string) can also be whirled around in the air to call upthe wind, especially when made of lightning struck oak (though in Cornishcraft, such tools are used to call spirits)

Put a handful ofdried Lungwort (Lungwort is associated with the element air and is used forprotection when traveling by air) into a small bag attach it to a string andswing it above your head;

Specially madeweather working brooms can be swung about your head in the same manner. (Scotchbroom is an appropriate material for a broom made of to stir the winds in thesky. Its pungent yellow blossoms are allied with the creatures of the air andits seeds are dispersed over great distances by the wind).

Regardlessof the method you choose to call the wind, make sure your hair is unbound andloose; binding and knotting are ways to capture the wind, not call it. Hope this helps!

🌿Healing salts🌿

Salt is very purifying, cleansing, and healing, combine it with some various healing plants and you’ve got amazing healing salts for baths, cooking, aromatherapy, and spells. It’s also a great way to preserve your herbs!

🌿 Here’s what you need:

-Salt (regular sea salt is fine but Himalayan or Celtic salt correspond more with healing in my opinion)

-fresh healing herbs/plants of your choice (can be dried but I’ve had better results with fresh)

-mortor and pestle

-somewhere to store it

🌿Here’s some recommended healing herbs/plants:

Basil- protection, prosperity, happiness // anti-inflammatory, anti-nausea, appetite stimulator

thyme- healing, sleep, soothing // soothes respitory system, antiseptic, decongestant

peppermint- energy, health, vitality // nausea &vomiting, IBS, bloating

garlic- protection, banishment, healing // anti-bacterial, anti-viral, reduces infection

lemon peel- cleansing, purifying, joy // antioxidants, immune boost, kills germs

sage- protection, cleansing, wisdom // cough, antibacterial, soothes inflammation

oregano- luck, health, family // anti-virus, allergy relief, anti-inflammatory

orange peel- optimism, happiness, strength // immune boost, vitamins, antioxidants

lemon balm- healing, psychic abilities, uplifting // anti-anxiety, sleep, indigestion

parsley- calming, protection, passion // energy, circulation, digestion

rosemary- cleansing, divination, love// soothes sore muscles, soothes cough, improves memory

cinnamon- comfort, love, protection // anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, kills germs

🌿How to make it:

-Add a small handful of salt and the herb or herbs of your choice in your mortor and pestle (how much you use depends on the size of your mortor and pestle and how strong you want the salts to be)

-Grind them up until they’re mixed well and infused, the salt will most likely change color.(it’s easier to tell with fresh plants, with dried plants it’ll be more of a powder when it’s done). I like to use this time to focus on the intent!

-Pour it into an airtight container and you’re done, enjoy in a bath, in food, in spells, scrubs etc.

** please do research before consuming any herbs or plants you aren’t familiar with, especially if you’re pregnant or on medication.
