The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Oh, July... Sweet month of sun and flowers, the "Wednesday hump" of summer. In July, life is easy. The power of the Sun God is at its peak, and all is growing and flourishing, bursting from the earth as a gift of Beltrane's fertility and heading inevitably toward the Mabon harvests as the Wheel makes its inexorable turns. In July, the flowers smell sweetest and the trees are the greenest as burgeoning life fuels our creativity and gifts us with long rapturous days, wild for the taking.

July is a wonderful time to care for your local faery folk. Create a small shrine for them in your yard or garden. Leave out a saucer with a bit of honey and butter -- they will appreciate it, and may bless you with wisdom and joy. Keep some rue in your pocket to avoid being led astray by the faeries in one of their wilder moments!

You might also craft a protective summer herbal amulet. Gather either three or nine of the following herbs before sunrise: chamomile, clover, comfrey, ivy, lavender, mugwort, nettle plantain, rose, rue, St. John's wort, sweet woodruff, thyme, wort, vervain, and yarrow. Dry the herbs in a cool, dark place for a few days, then crumble and use to fill a small pouch. Carry, wear or keep your summer amulet nearby for blessings and protection.
