Potion??

Potion – Share a recipe for any potion you like.

Well, it’s going to be more a POWDER than a potion, because I don’t generally do potions. Sticky things, take forever to simmer, often they smell bad, and gods help you if they’re not stored properly. Magical mold problems, yay.

Everybody knows my Banishing Powder, so here’s something a little different:

Lucky Day Powder

Intent: To cause good luck and high probability of success to follow one for a single day.

Ingredients:

Orange Peel
Cinnamon
Fenugreek
Ginger
Lemon Peel
Optional – Irish Moss (aka Carrageen)

Materials:

Mortar & Pestle (or spice grinder)
Funnel
Mesh Strainer
Collection Dish
Container

Note: Powdered versions of most herbs are available online. See my Online Resources
page for recommended vendors.. Also, if you can get your hands on a good
spice grinder, you can make your own powder from dried herb products.

Grind
each ingredient separately to produce fine powder. Sieve the material
through the mesh strainer into the collection dish; this removes the
larger unground pieces and gives you cleaner powdered herb. (Pro-Tip:
Putting a funnel under the mesh strainer reduces lost material and makes
collection much easier.)

Combine the component powders in the
collection dish, mix well, and bottle immediately. For volume, go
heavier on the less expensive or more easily available materials like
Cinnamon, Ginger, and powdered fruit peels.

Put a pinch in your
shoes before going out on any day that you need a boost of good fortune,
or chance to sway in your favor. Also useful for spellwork related to
finding or keeping employment and obtaining wealth. Add to incenses and
charms designed to bring luck. Combine in a jar with sesame seeds for
long-term household use.
