Insomnia-Be-Gone!
A soothing sachet to tuck under your pillow or hang over your bed. Get a good night’s sleep and wake up refreshed!
INGREDIENTS
Pick and choose some of the following herbs. I typically use a mixture of about 4, or whichever I happen to have on hand at the time. I try to avoid too many at once because that results in an overwhelming scent.
Anise - Known to repel nightmares.
Calendula – Brings about a good night’s sleep.
Cedar – Calms the mind and wards off bad dreams.
Chamomile – One of the most powerful sleep herbs on the list.
Jasmine – Gives good dreams, but can cause erotic dreams in women.
Lavender – The ultimate in stress relief herbs.
Lemon Balm – Stress relieving sleep aid.
Mugwort – Helps ward off bad dreams.
Mullein – Can be used to protect against bad dreams or psychic attack.
Rose petals – Brings about dreams of love. Can also cause erotic dreams if used too heavily.
Next, gather the following stones.
Clear Quartz — Who doesn’t love clear quartz? It’s like an energy booster for your other stones.
Amethyst — This gem helps guard against nightmares, but also helps soothe an overactive mind and wipes away the stress of the day (or week).
Rose Quartz — Bring in some of rose quartz’ love and peace. This brings deep, restorative sleep and over time can build self-love and overall happiness.
Lepidolite — Probably my most recommended stone. Lepidolite is like kryptonite to even the most super-est of stresses and depressions. It can stop obsessive thoughts, bring mood swings into line, and will upend dependency and mental anguish that might be keeping you up at night.
DIRECTIONS
Take the stones (little chips are just as good as big chunks) and place them in a bowl. Add any essential oils (many of the floral herbs are more fragrant in their oil form) and use your hands to roll the stones around until coated. While doing so, focus your intent as soft pink or yellow (or whatever color is soothing to you) light radiating from your hands.
Next, add the remaining herbs. Continue to hand mix the ingredients while focusing your intent. Once thoroughly mixed, hold your hands over the bowl and really expand that “light” into a ball of positive, soothing energy.
If you’d like, say a quick invocation or spell. Something like:
When I lay me down to sleep
I ask of you my dreams to keep.
No more tossing, no more turning.
No more stress and questions burning.
Only rest and gentle sleep,
Until the morning’s dawn shall peep.
You can change the words to fit your needs, or skip it altogether. It doesn’t have to rhyme - that’s just a simple device some people use. Hell, it doesn’t even need to make sense, as long as it is you channelling your will into the mixture.
DO. NOT. RUSH. THIS. PART. Breathe. Let your will do its work.
Once you’ve imbued the mixture with your will, transfer it to a muslin bag or pouch. Hang near your bed or tuck under your pillow.
…
As a side-note, always feel free to experiment with this and any of my other recipes. This is what works for me. Maybe you find catnip or vervain soothing. Add it! Maybe tourmaline is your power crystal. Add it! And if you experiment with the recipe and find something that seems to work really well, let me know!

A Spell For Getting Sleep:
I stole a bit from the wish everyone used to make when they saw the first star in the sky because I felt it might have the right power attached.
What you need:
• your voice
• your energy
• a place to sleep
What to do:
Lay down and get comfy wherever it is you want to sleep, you don’t need to make any movements or anything. Focus on how you feel when you’re peaceful and half asleep, or how you remember it feeling for my friends with insomnia. Keep focusing on that and envision these words floating out of your mouth to activate them( they can glow, dissipate, or anything you want them to do):
I wish I may, I wish I might Have the sleep I need tonight Not too early, not too late Make me rested when I wake I wish I may, I wish I might Have the sleep I need tonight
That’s it, sweet dreams!
Early To Bed, Early To Rise Herb Bundle Spell
hello witchy lovelies!! this is the first spell I have ever really crafted by myself and it worked super well! usually I have such a hard time waking up in the mornings but as soon as i’d put this by my bedside i woke up about 6:30am, naturally. here’s how I made it!!
ingredients:
• lavender (for sleep) and thyme (for courage/motivation) sprigs of about the same length
• string or thread
• candle or match (optional)
• bottle (optional)
method:
• remember to meditate on your intention as you do this! 💞
• pop all of the herbs together in a bundle
• wrap the thread around them from top to bottom and tie off so everything stays together
• you can choose to bless/cleanse the herbs with smoke now!! the way I like to do this is putting out a match or candle in a bottle, waiting for the smoke to fill it, and then putting the herbs inside, holding the bottle upside down :)
• now whack that bad boy by your bed
• sweet dreams!! 💞
and that’s it! enjoy the spell and let me know what you think :)
lots of love from R xxx
