Thy Saints in light see light, and sing for joy:
Safe from the dark, safe from the dark and cold.
But from my dark comes only doubt of light:
Disloyalty, that trembles to despair.

Four Thieves Vinegar

2011 July 2

This batch of Four Thieves Vinegar was assembled on the Full Moon in June 2011, and charged through the waning portion of that month’s lunar cycle.

Four Thieves Vinegar is used for protection against diseases, particularly epidemics, and is also used in works of protection, repulsion, dissent, and reversal. It is integral in works that drive back enemies.

Our Four Thieves Vinegar was created with the utmost respect for the environment. The herbs contained within were organically home-grown, are pesticide-free, and were responsibly harvested.

One for my analyst.

I had a dream last night that I went to a department store (Neiman Marcus, I think?) to buy supplies to make a homunculus. The lady behind the counter was very helpful. I don’t remember the part of the dream where I actually made the homunculus, but the procedure seems to have been successful, as there she was. She didn’t look like me; she looked more like a little female imp. I guess my brain conjured up a semi-AD&D version. Anyway, she wouldn’t do anything I asked her to. All she did, day in and day out, was sit on my couch eating mochi balls while watching QVC and listening to the Jungle Book soundtrack. I woke up while we were arguing as ‘Bare Necessities’ was playing in the background.

Little Red Love Jars

The Little Red Love Jar: A Honey Spell
Use this little cutie to sweeten someone up. It is a gentle yet firm method of spellwork used to draw someone’s love to you. These honey jars contain locally-harvested orange blossom honey, red rose petals from the TAL garden, home-crafted rose water, minerals geared for attraction and sexual union, and Venus-governed essential oils that are first distillations from small farms.

There are many methods of personalizing this jar that include:

• adding soil from both of your footprints
• tying a strand of your hair with his / her hair and adding it to the jar
• adding drops of your blood and your potential mate’s blood
• adding semen / vaginal lubrication from yourself and your potential mate
• writing out your specific intent in red ink on parchment that has not been cut by scissors

Do what you feel comfortable doing. However you choose to personalize the spell, please make sure you include your name (written three times) crossed with your intended’s name (written three times). Write the names on white or ‘parchment’ paper in red ink.

Do this work every Friday during the hour of Venus until the working comes to fruition. Before starting the work, take a teaspoon of honey (NOT the honey from this jar), and eat it slowly, focusing on your intent and focusing on the sweetness and headiness of the honey itself. After you take the honey, burn a tiny red candle dressed with an appropriate oil for your working (Blessing of Isis, Caliph’s Beloved, Dixie Love Perfume, Lord of the Forest, Q5, Q7, Siren, and Blinding Glory of Love are all currently available on the Twilight Alchemy Lab site) on top of the jar. While the candle is burning, continue to focus your intent. Once the working is complete, bury the jar and all the wax leavings in your yard.

This honey jar spell can also be used to tighten bonds that are already in place, and to rekindle love between people that have drifted apart.

Do not eat this honey. Please. Zomgplease. These tiny jars contain iron filings and lodestones which are not particularly awesome for your digestion. /understatement

Love & Affection Floorwash

2011 July 1
by constantia

This is a romantic Venus-oriented wash. It brings romance and peace through love. Use Love and Affection wash in your home to draw in love, create an atmosphere of sweetness, kindness, and affection, and to sweeten the temperaments of the home’s inhabitants.

Our products are created with the utmost respect for the environment, and this includes our floorwashes. Twilight Alchemy Lab’s Love and Affection Floorwash was created with certified fair trade pure castile soap as its base. The herbs within the floorwash are organically-grown and pesticide-free, and the oils within the wash are all first distillations from small farms. This floorwash is heavy on the essential oils: over 5ml of uncut, undiluted oil was used in the mix. As with all of our products — a little goes a long way. The rose petals within the wash come directly from the TAL garden.

Add one to three teaspoons of Love and Affection to each gallon of wash water. At dawn or dusk, wash the floors and doorways of your home from the perimeter inward. “Drawing In” floorwashes don’t need to be as thorough as their purification and cleansing counterparts: you can broom-dust with the floorwash lightly if you don’t feel that you need an exhaustive washing. With this wash, always work from the outside pulling /in/.

Chinese Wash

2011 July 1

Chinese Wash is used primarily in works of cleansing, purification, uncrossing, and protection. It is also used to keep homes peaceful and free from worry, tension, and discord.

Our products are created with the utmost respect for the environment, and this includes our floorwashes. Twilight Alchemy Lab’s Chinese Wash was created with certified fair trade pure castile soap as its base. The organically-grown, pesticide-free lemongrass was harvested from the TAL garden, and the five grass oils within the wash are all first distillations from small farms. This floorwash is heavy on the essential oils: over 5ml of uncut, undiluted oil was used in the mix. As with all of our products — a little goes a long way.

Add one to three teaspoons of Chinese Wash to each gallon of wash water. For additional purification, you may also add kosher rock salt, urine, or ammonia to the mix. Wash the floors, doorways, and window sills of your home from the back of your place (the furthest point from the main entrance) to the front door. Clean thoroughly: use the diluted Chinese Wash to mop the floors (make sure you get those floorboards!), scrub those window sills, and wipe down your doors and doorframes. If you have carpeted floors, you can dampen a broom (preferably one without synthetic bristles) and lightly brush the carpet with the wash. Be warned, though: some carpets, particularly light-colored carpets, may be stained by the wash. After you’ve finished the inside of your house, lightly wash (or broom-dust) the pathway from the street to your home starting with the threshold and working your way to the edge of your property.

A note on disposing of your mop water: many traditions state that floorwashes should be disposed of by pouring out the used water mix at a crossroads to disperse the residual energy. With that tradition in mind, we endeavor to ensure that all of our products are environmentally friendly. We do not use harsh chemical bases in our floorwashes; the base is a castile soap made with citric acid and coconut, olive, jojoba, and hemp oils. However, many drains run off into rivers, oceans, and lakes, and even the safest of floorwashes isn’t safe for our fishy friends. Some traditions state that you should toss your mop water onto a large, sturdy tree; I’m willing to bet the tree might object. Other traditions state that you should throw your wash water into your yard, facing the sun, at sunrise. Whether or not this is practical depends on your yard. Use good judgment in where you dispose of your mop water is all I’m sayin’.

Broom straw has not been added to these bottles: we’ve chosen to leave that up to each practitioner. In our experience adding the broom straws yourself seems to lend to the cleansing and purifying strength of the blend. Once the bottle has been emptied out, take the remaining broom straws, frankincense, and lemongrass and toss them out into your yard.

Fuckawesome Tuesday

2011 June 29

Had the most amazing time today. Disneyland in the morning with Lilith, Ted, and Grandma Sue, and then Neil’s event this evening at the Saban. Patton Oswalt did a fantastic job with the interview, and both he and Neil were tremendously witty, charming, and interesting. I had no idea that the Bilquis scene from American Gods could be so goddamn funny. Met Christopher Salmon, the filmmaker that’s adapting Neil’s short story, “the Price”. He was fantastic. Had a conversation with Patton Oswalt about the challenges of swimmer diapers and toddler-age appreciation of Jodorowsky, Fellini, and Von Trier. Also: Patton remembering all the stupid drunken shit I said to him when we first met wasn’t as embarrassing as it probably should have been. Got Neil hugs. Saw many, many people that I adore, and grieve that I missed seeing some friends that were in attendance. Got to spend some time with Kitty and Farley who I love so, so very much. Also: Ted looked mighty fine tonight. Now I’m going to go fondle my husband. All in all: a fuckawesome Tuesday.
