Materials:
1/2 teaspoon tarragon
1 paper coffee filter
3 family-size tea bags
1 quart cold water
Quart jar with screw-on lid
Twine or string
Note: This spell invokes the young Sun, and is best performed during the hours of dawn and 9am. Sprinkle the tarragon in the centre of the coffee filter, then gather the edges to form a bag, and secure well with string.
Toss the tea bags and tarragon bag in the jar, fill it with cold water, screw on the lid, and take it outdoors.
Holding the jar up to the Sun, ask His help by saying something like:
O Growing Child - Our Sun and Star -
Cast Your rays both near and far
Upon this tea and bless it well
So that its properties expel
Worn-out notions and perceptions
Old ideas and misconceptions
And as You brew it, please imbue
It with an accepting, tolerant view
Of those things I find so difficult
So its ingestion shall result
In a freedom that I've never known
From expectations that I've sown
In others' gardens as they tread
Their personal paths; and please, too, shed
Your light upon me - guide my way -
As I work through this today
Oh Young Child Sun, now hear my plea
And do just what I ask of Thee
Place the jar in a sunny spot and leave it there to brew until sunset.
Then remove the bags, dilute if necessary, sweeten as desired and drink.
