The peppermint + honey ‘sweet speech’ trick has been effective for me first of all. Stir tea clockwise with honey while rehearsing your words for a tough convo, then drink it before speaking. Hits the throat chakra without skin oil.
Peppermint’s my go-to ‘reset brain’ herb too. I weave it into rituals and divination flows smoother (more on that here).
Brew strong peppermint tea, cool and strain it, add a splash of witch hazel or vodka to preserve. Mist your altar, tarot bag, pre-reading.
For candle work like your green ritual, carve tiny arrows or ‘roads’ in the wax first. Keeps peppermint’s speedy energy directed instead of blasting everywhere.
