Herbal Consecration Candle Spell

The best time of the year to harvest magical herbs from your garden is at
midnight on Litha. However, any time of day and night on this sabbat will do
if your schedule doesn’t permit a midnight outing. Additionally, if you have
purchased herbs, you can still consecrate them for maximum results in your
spells.
You will need:

• a yellow candle; any size or type will do
• the herbs you wish to consecrate
• an additional bundle of herbs to use to asperge
• lavender, orange, or rosewater (Try to make your own instead of buying from a store, especially if you plan on using any of the herbs in food or for tea; store-bought sometimes contains perfumes, dyes, or alcohol.)

Cast your circle, and light the candle. Carefully pass each herb over the
candle’s flame, far enough so as not to singe the leaves, and say each time:
“By The Goddess of the Earth, and Hunter God of the sacred woods,
By the water of the river that is The Goddess’s blood,
bless these herbs that they may when used,
powerful magic thus infuse.”
Next, lightly asperge the herbs with your herb bundle and the water of your
choice. Hang the herbs to dry, or lay them out on a platter or cookie sheet if
your house is dry and warm enough.
