condenser

This is a scrying fluid condenser to be used to purify and consecrate tools of divination, such as a crystal ball, mirror, or pendulum. If you want to know more about scrying, please e-mail me with questions at wiccacentral@yahoo.com. I will soon have a page dedicated to the art of scrying, so look for it in the future. However, even if you don't have a ball or mirror to scry with, this concoction makes a wonderful potpourii that you can use over and over again!
To make this condenser, first you must gather as many of the following herbs that you can find. Dried is O.K., but the more life force in them, the better.

Once you have collected as many of the herbs as you can, place a small layer of them in a pot with enough distilled or rain water to cover them. Put the remaining herbs in a jar and label them to be used later for more condenser or potpourii. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn down the flame and let it simmer, covered, for an hour. Let it then cool, and strain it through a muslin cloth. Put the liquid back in the pot and simmer without the lid until a quarter of the mixture remains. Store in a glass jar with an equal amount of isopropyl achohol and some crystals, moonstones, or gold for purification. Keep it in a secure, dark place, and it will last for years.

For the potpourii, simply take some of the remaining herbs, and sprinkle a thin layer in a pot on the stove, covering with water. Bring to a boil, then cover, and simmer, (covered) adding water as needed, and it will fill your house with an intoxicating aroma. Remember how wonderful it smelled when you were making the concoction?
