♡ SOFT SLEEP SACHET ♡ Intent: to sleep soft & protected Ingredients: ♡ white willow bark (protection herb, pain relief) ♡ lavender (soothing, purification, protection) ♡ chamomile (tranquility, soothing, good night’s sleep) ♡ rose buds (love, security) Instructions: To make this sachet, first take a small bag (preferably cotton, mesh, or something that can breathe) and draw a picture or sigil on it. Usually I make sigils for spells but this time I drew a sleepy three-eyed rabbit familiar to go to bed with me ♡ Feel free to use this design in yours! The main idea here is to make the bag represent protection while you sleep and a soft rest. Inside add pinches of dried lavender flowers, rose buds, white willow bark, and chamomile. These herbs are generally soothing and provide protection; I added the rose buds especially to give a dreamy happy feel and the white willow bark to dull any sleep pains upon waking. Pull the drawstrings tight and tie them off – you can use knot magic here to strengthen the spell if you wish! I did a simple knot but said the phrase “sleep sound, soft, and sweet” as I tied it. Keep on your bedside table, near your pillow, or even in your pillowcase while you sleep for a calm and pleasant nights rest♡

Putting things under your pillow
By putting certain things underneath your pillow, you will allow those metaphysical properties to interact with your dreams, and your person all throughout the night, when you sleep upon that pillow. Here is a small list of constructs you can put underneath your pillow, that will provide to you certain energies, minds states, and physical stimulus throughout the night based on what they are:
Lapis lazuli under your pillow for awareness of your dreams, and vividness of those dreams.
Clear quartz under your pillow to wake up with more energy, after you awake from your sleep.
Bayleaf under your pillow in order to have more prophetic dreams.
Chamomile under your pillow in order to promote relaxation, and good dreams.
Rose petals under your pillow in order to bring love into your waking life.
Peppermint under your pillow in order to promote relaxation, and vivid dreams.
Lavender under your pillow in order to promote calm, and in order for you to sleep well.
Anise under your pillow in order to prevent nightmares.
Rosemary under your pillow in order to prevent nightmares, and to bring deep sleep.
Garlic under your pillow in order to promote sleep well.
You can put a blade of grass, or a leaf underneath your pillow to promote growth, and change in your waking life.
Money under your pillow for wealth, and prosperity in your waking life.
You can put a picture of someone underneath your pillow in order to connect with them better.
You can put the name of someone underneath your pillow in order to connect with them better.
You can put all manner of sigil underneath your pillow in order to get the effect of that Sigil into your dreams, and waking life.
Rest Charm
Components:
1'x6" rectangle of nighttime fabric
3" circle of yellow or blue felt
½ Tb Dried Vervain
½ Tb Dried Chamomile
½ Tb Died Lavender
Needle
Thread
Scissors
This handkerchief is a charm that goes under your pillow to encourage a good night’s rest.
First, fold your fabric into a square, making sure to tuck in the edges. Then, sew it closed, stopping with half of one side open.
Put your dried herbs into the pocket, and sew the rest of the way closed.
Shake the herbs into the center, and put into an embroidery hoop.
Cut the felt into a crescent moon, and stitch down onto the kerchief, trying to trap as much of the herb mixture under it as possible.
When finished, keep under your pillow

To Banish Nightmares and Sleep Disturbances
You will need:
A drinking glass half-filled with tap water
Timing:
Just before bedtime
The spell:
Place a glass half-filled with water near your bedside.
Swirl it five times counterclockwise, taking care not to spill any and saying, “Nightmares, bad dreams, and feelings of dread, enter this glass and be held here instead.”
In the morning as soon as you wake up, whether or not you had a nightmare, pour the water down the drain.
Rinse out the glass and leave it in the bedroom ready to be filled before sleep the next night.

“1001 Spells: The Complete Book of Spells for Every Purpose,” by Cassandra Eason
The Dream Bear
This is a spell designed to give you more dreams and more meaningful dreams! It’s one of the more complicated crafts I’ve done lately, but it has been so worth it. I’ve done this a few times and have fine-tuned the recipe, so hopefully it works well for you! (And as always, substitutions can be made if need be. One of the reasons there’s so much stuff in it is because I just attract herbs that are good for this type of spell, apparently.)
What You Need:
Representations of the four elements (or another way of consecrating things. I use the elements but you do you.)
A stuffed animal that you’re comfortable sleeping with, even better if it has a hole already forming somewhere
Needle and blue thread
A small drawstring bag. Blue is optimal
A blue candle (if you want a larger emphasis on prophetic dreams, replace with or add a purple candle!)
A small piece of amethyst or amethyst chips (Amethyst particularly resonates with me and is also good for divination. It also is a general power enhancer.)
A small piece of red jasper (For vivid dream recall.)
Rosemary (for dream recall)
Chamomile (sleep aid, prophetic dreams)
Hops (to enhance sleep magic)
Mugwort (for prophetic dreams)
Bay leaf (for prophetic dreams)
Lavender (sleep aid, dreams)
Coltsfoot (nightmare ward, dreams)
A sigil of your intent
Scissors
Best performed during a full moon on a Monday.
What You Do:
Design your sigil beforehand to save time, if you wish.
Perform your ritual spell starters, be that casting a circle, grounding/centering, calling upon deities, whatever. I like to ring a bell to mark the beginning and end of a ritual and focus my mind onto the sound If you’re working with the elements, this is the time to call upon them.
Light the blue candle.
Bless/ consecrate your stuffed animal, priming it for instruction. Let it rest as you continue onto the next step.
Fill the pouch with each of the ingredients, stating what each one is for and what it will be adding to the mix. “This is rosemary. It will aid me in remembering my dreams.”
Draw the sigil onto the bay leaf as you add it, or draw the sigil on a piece of paper, fold it, and add it to the bag.
Pull the bag shut, give it a little shakey-shake. Say a little prayer, poem, or chant if you desire.
Take your stuffed animal, and open up a hole in its back. Move the stuffing around and put the bag inside. I like to place it where its “center” would be if it was a living thing. If your animal already has a hole elsewhere and you would prefer to use that, I feel that should be fine. I think keeping it close to the “heart” is nice though.
Sew the hole shut with the blue thread.
Consecrate the stuffed animal one last time, explaining its purpose to bring you prophetic dreams (or whatever variation!) and that magic will flow through the entire animal. It is now ready.
Close down the ritual and clean up as usual.
Sleep holding the animal (the closer to your torso the better, I’ve found) to encourage more dreams and more prophetic dreams!
