With so many good things happening in the month of September this year, what a better way to maintain this energy than with a simmer pot. Keeping this energy of celebration, personal power, abundance, energetic renewal, and protection coming full speed ahead as many charge into their transformation era. With such a large subsection of this collective actively standing on business this month, we put together a spicy but practical simmer pot that not only metaphysically helps your homes energy continue flowing "all good things", but smells uniquely amazing!
September's Keep It Coming: Simmer Pot Recipe:
~6-8Pineapple Slices (fresh, canned, or dried)
~1 Apple (Sliced Horizontally)
~1 Lemon (Slices)
~Juniper Berries (Whole Handful)
~Blackberries (Whole Handful)
~6-9 Whole Cloves
~Mint Leaves
~Thyme
~Ginger
Whelp, let's get cooking! Grab a medium pot and fill 3/4 of the way with water. For any of my overachievers you can always add any specialty waters to your simmer pots for an extra energy boost **cough, cough anyone who made new moon water.....now's your chance to add some**. Slowly add in your ingredients while focusing your intention and energy into each ingredient you place in the water. Fire up that stove to medium/ medium-high heat. You can simmer the pot until your water is all but gone. Remember this is your Energy, Intention, and Magic! Make it yours. Generally speaking, when stirring your ingredients, when you try to "attract" energy you want to stir in a clockwise motion toward you and when you want to "banish, repel, or rid" energy you stir in a counterclockwise motion away from you.
