Sunday Spells #159 - 20th July 2025

Spell For Loss & Grief.

To make this spell, choose any 2 of the herbs listed below.

Hawthorn -When you experience immense grief, your heart breaks. A member of the Rose family, hawthorn surfaces as a primo healer of heartache and grief. You can use its berries, flowers, and leaves to make teas, infused honeys and elixirs too.

Rose - Long used to comfort and to calm the heart, rose’s gentle

antidepressant and sedative properties can help uplift the emotions

while providing a sense of ease. Rose petals, rosebuds, rosehips,

and its leaves are all medicinal. Try infusing rose as a tea or in honey or wine or use it to make a glycerite or bath blend.

Motherwort - though its bitter compounds make it a less tasty herbal ally, motherwort is a potent support for cardiovascular and nervous systems.

Linden - cooling and moistening, linden leaves and flowers enjoy a

widespread reputation as a calming heart tonic. It is rich in

antioxidant compounds that seem to quell hypertension, especially

when stress is a contributing factor. From the bodily level to the

spiritual realm, linden may act as a “protective, comforting, and

magical guide through times of grief. Delicious as a cold infusion,

linden is delightful as tea on its own or combined with other healing herbs.

Once you have your 2 herbs, place them in a bowl and add boiled water. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before holding the bowl in your hands and reciting your spell.

"Goddess of love, help and support me

Sprinkle your love all around me

Show your guiding light to me

Fill my heart with love for those who are lost

Allow me to heal and take my pain from me

As I ask it, Let it be done"

Spend a few minutes smelling the bowl and really infusing your thoughts into the aroma.

When you feel you have contemplated for long enough, take the bowl outside, give the herbal liquid to the Earth as a blessing and say -

"I thank you for all you gave me in your life,

now I allow the pain to go and only remember the good"
