At bedtime, use the charm in the ritual of going to sleep. Feel the weight of it in your hands, deeply inhale the herbs, and recite any spells to aid your rest. Then flip to the closed eye, tucking the charm under a pillow or at your bedside to indicate that your day is complete. When you wake, flip to the open eye and begin your day.
As the charm’s fragrance naturally fades, you can gently massage it to crush the herbs within and release more oils to revive the scent (or anoint it with a fragrant oil of your own).
Additional Information
CARE
Your charm is, for the most part, made of natural materials. Through use, the surface fibers on the felt may lift giving your charm a fuzzier appearance. This is normal and a part of wool-blend felt aging. If debris or pet hair accumulate however, you can gently pat your charm with a piece of masking tape to remove them. Keep dry.
When your charm has served its purpose you can unpick the stitches around the edge to reclaim the materials inside for further spell work or to respectfully dispose of them. In most charms I utilize an unbleached tea bag to secure the finer ingredients. Please use care when opening.
HANDCRAFTED
Each piece is lovingly made one stitch at a time. No two are exactly alike, even those with repeated designs. Variations in color and shape are normal and part of the charm of handmade goods.
MATERIALS
I use a combination of new, vintage, antique, and reclaimed materials across my work. Please check photos and descriptions of items carefully before purchasing. Features some might think of as “imperfections” will be noted whenever possible.
