Time to harvest Forsythia leaves!

Leaves Tincture for inflammation related diseases: Asthma, Arthritis, IBS, Cytokine Storms.
Tea from leaves alleviates a sore throat, diarrhea. Contains Rutin – this protects and prolongs the activity of Vitamin C.  

Contains High amounts of Oceanic Acid (similar to olive oil) which is good for the heart. Good for the heart muscle. Also a good Blood thinner. 

This anti-inflammatory action is present in NEW SPRING Leaves. harvest before June 15 at latest.

To make Tincture:

Use sharp scissors to cut leaves fresh off the the forsythia, straight into the jar. Fill to top with leaves. Then I use scissors to chop them a bit right in the jar. That makes them settle a bit, with room for more leaves. Add more, chop again. Repeat till jar is 3/4 full. Fill to top w vodka, set aside for 3 months. Store long term with leaves, 💚 strain a small amount at a time & transfer to a dropper bottle for use.  tinctures of 100% vodka, no sugar or water added, will last 2-10 years.

  • For any question, you can cast a handful or bag of Runes and read the meaning of the runes that land face up only.
  • You may cast them into a circle (drawn with chalk or as a pattern on a cloth). Read the runes that land inside the circle AND face up.
  • If The Eye (Witches Rune) or Tiwaz (Elder Futhark) appears amongst the runes when cast, pay extra attention to where the eye is looking or Tiwaz is pointing.
  • Pro Tip: You can also use runes just as you would the Tarot, with ANY tarot spread. Simply pull one at a time from your bag to fill the layout.

*while Witches’ and Elder Futhark are different sets of runes, (just as English and Gaelic are different languages) I use mine together;  my rune casts are “bilingual”. I have made the same choice in my online rune layouts. Alainn Tarot interactive includes both sets at the same time. 

These are plants that grow in my own yard or elements that I keep in stock personally, gathered in a single category for my own quick navigation.
