Howdy, howdy all

Have you ever had one of those days when you want to scoop out someone's heart or other vital organs with a spoon?  Have you ever want to dance in someone else's blood while doing a death trill at the top of your lungs?  Blood for Bal (you hardcore pagans know what I mean) is one thing but homicide is quite another! If you have felt any of these things then this is the entry for you!  This is a pouch that helps to transform the negative feelings into postitive ones.  It is small and can be carried in a pocket or if you don't have pockets you can even slip it into your *whispers* Bra (whether male or female, we dont judge!).  I just made a pouch for my best friend Myclette for protection and with a few modifications it can work for those of us who are functioning on our last nerve (there is always some clown dancing on that nerve!).  Let's gather our ingredients shall we?

1. a small cotton or muslin pouch.  You can find these at any crafts store, usually sold in multiples.  You could also go to your local occult shop but on generic items like pouches why not save money and forgoe the ambience.  Get them small enough to fit in your pocket, like maybe no bigger than 5 inches long and 4 inches wide.

2. Ahh herbage!  To quell those unquiet thoughts try something like lavendar, cloves,yarrow(a little perfection couldn't hurt), agrimony, fennel, holly, rue, hysop, vetivert, vervain or rowan.  You don't have to use all of them of course, but try to use at least three to four. Just a pinch of each of your choosing should do the trick.

3. Mortar and Pestle for blending herbs.

4. Incense can be sandalwood or myrhh.

5. A black, white or purple candle. Either taper, votive, or pillar candle.

6. salt

7. spring water.

Here we go!  Wash your hands thoroughly and do not apply hand lotion before handling herbs.  In your mortar add a pinch of at least three to four of the herbs. Blend the herbs using your pestle.  Don't grind to a paste mind you, just blend them together, you should be able to see the different herbs after blending, not an indescribable goo.  Use a clean spoon or trowel for use only with herbs.  Scoop the herbs into the pouch.  Light the candle, incense and arrange the bowls of salt and water on your altar or other clean space.  Ask the universe or Goddess/God of choice for help in dispelling your negative thoughts and ask them to replace your anger with serenity or happiness.  As you ask pass the pouch through the smoke of the incense (air), through the candle flame (fire), place briefly in the salt (earth)and sprinkle lightly with the spring water (water). After passing it through all of the elements thank the universe for her attention, let the candle burn for half an hour to an hour and extinguish with a snuffer.  Clean your supplies and you are done!  If at all possible wear the pouch against the skin but at the very least have it in a pocket or purse.  For that extra boost you could sit the pouch outside in the view of the moon after consecration before use.  Hope this keeps your sanity intact and your the annoying people from becoming crime statistics at your hands.
