Simple Simmer Pots for Summer Time
So we are in the midst of summer time already! And even though these are the warmer months of the year simmer pots are still one of my favourite kitchen witch activities and natural air fresheners. Each season comes with distinct aromas and aesthetics that help to define them, including summer! Let’s take those seasonal staples and make some beautifully magical simmer pots for summer.
Summer is all about celebrating the sunshine, taking extra time to relax, and enjoying the incredible bounty that nature provides. Summer is certainly a favourite season for many, and with good reason.
Scents like orange, pineapple, coconut, and vanilla can certainly bring forth some summertime nostalgia. Pina Coladas on the beach perhaps or maybe a delicious creamsicle will bring back some fond summer memories. And who wouldn’t want that? Simmer pots are a wonderful way to have these seasonal scents wafting throughout your home in minutes.
Simmer pots are an excellent, non-toxic, and eco-friendly way to have your home smelling like the season in a few short minutes. They are also a wonderful way to brew some magick in the kitchen.
So read on and discover a few recipes to help bring an extra dose of the happy and youthful energy the summer season has to offer.
Summer Simmer Pot Magic
If you have read my other simmer pot posts you can skip this bit as you will already know the steps but if this is your first time visiting the blog please do read on!
We mustn’t forget that the herbs, spices, and whole foods housed in our kitchens all carry their own energies and magickal properties.
So let’s use those items to assist us in manifesting our goals. You’ll easily be able to create a simmer pot that aligns with your intentions and smells delicious!
When I do a simmer pot with a specific intention in mind I follow these simple steps to incorporate my magick and mind into the process:
1. Set your intentions very clear in your mind and don’t lose sight of them for the entire process.
2. Add ingredients to the pot and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce to a simmer, stir the pot clockwise. Unless you are doing a banishing or releasing spell, in that case stir the pot counter clockwise.
4. Visualize your desired outcome or goal for the magickal work you are doing. Are you aiming to create happiness in the home, or more money in your wallet? Whatever it may be focus on what you want the outcome to look like. Continue with the visualization and stirring until it feels right to finish. You’ll know when!
5. You may recite your goal, a chant, or ritual words while you stir as well. Something pertaining to your desired outcome.
6. When you finish I would let the pot boil down until there is about an inch of water left and then turn it off. Your work is now complete.
Of course feel free to change this process up so that it suits your own needs and magical practice.
