Dream Pillows Makes about 9 pillows In connection with the Dark Moon Feast of Hekate, I made these Dream Pillows for stimulating the intuitive and psychic centers. I mixed the following herbs in a wooden bowl and left them on my altar overnight. The next day, I stuffed the pillows. I found cotton cloth of dark blue scattered with colored stars, but another dark rich color, such as maroon, purple, indigo or even black, would be suitable. Velveteen would be lovely, if you can find a large enough remnant on sale. Ingredients and what they're good for: 2 oz Mugwort - Prophetic Dreams 1/4 oz. whole Cloves - keep away hostile forces, add energy 1/2 oz. each of the following: Bay Leaves - Dreams , visions, clairvoyance, healing, purification, protection Chamomile Flowers - Induce restful sleep Hyssop - Blessings, purge of negativity Lavender Flowers - Peace of mind Marigold Flowers/Calendula - Clairvoyant dreams, protection while sleeping Orange Blossoms - Calm, peace of mind Peppermint Leaves - Relaxation, healing, help falling asleep Rose Buds, Pink - Calm, clairvoyance, love Vervain - Freedom from nightmares, purification, protection Directions: I cut the cloth in long rectangles, twice the length of the finished pillows; mine were approximately 8" X 16". Fold in half, inside out, so measures 8" X 8", and sew around 2 and 1/2 of the open sides - i left 1/2" hem allowance. Turn right side out, pushing cloth through unsewn half-side opening. Using a wide neck funnel, a wooden spoon, and your fingers, pour the herbal blend into the pillows; i filled each one with about 1/2 cup of herbs, then went back and evenly divided the remainder among the pillows. Top-stitch the openings, folding the raw edges to the inside. The pillow were placed under the altar table during the ritual to charge them and then were distributed afterwards during the discussion period. For more pillows, just multiply ingredients as necessary.
