Jasmoon Butterfly's Apothecary

Jasmoon Butterfly keeps her apothecary upon a shelf in what appears to be a book.
This protects the potions from prying eyes and prevents accidents ie: accidental drinking

A faery witches apothecary

Jasmoon Butterfly had attended a meeting with the fae

using a little of the potion she had left for sight.

She was all but seven at the time the fae embraced her willingly

as Jasmoon's heart was kind.

Jasmoon cared for mother nature, well actually all living things.

The fae taught her many secrets of alchemy

but they told her to never tell a soul of all the proceedures

(be that any living thing not just humans).

Jasmoon promised and here she shares some of that fae

world with you,but sadly not all ingredients are listed.

Some of the ingredients only exist in the fae realm.

Jasmoon is permitted to share some of that info with you.

The processes also have a secret chant spoken while sealing the potion.

Of course Jasmoon can only tell you that the words as soft as ...

erm.... oh ..to quote the fae...a lovers breath (yea just like that)

spoken and gently blown into the bottle.

The words are in Elvish, as that is the language the fae speak .....

Oh did you not know?

Whoops don't tell! That can be our little secret :0)

It is said it does this to bring light into what would only be darkness. Hopes promise is its common name. This mushroom derived from the faes original home not the fairyland we are aware of today. Once it is said they grew in humankind lands and that we visualize the toadstool now as a type of symbol for the fae....In a way it is, but its not the correct shroom.

Note: The fae have many potions for humankind.

Many years ago (ancient times not documented by humans)

they befriended the humans that showed kindness.

I guess you do not have to be a faery-witch to know how that ended. Some humans betrayed the faery kindness,

knowledge and then became extremely hateful towards them.

They called the faery human friends 'witches,'

but in fact they were 'wise-women', it is a sad tale best

left to another day. The fae then went into hiding

(visualize what we know as Avalon)

being the kind beings they were they kept the books

containing potion recipes for our kind in the hope

that one day they can share this information once again

...with us all.

Jasmoon has tried humankind relations

but it will be a very long time until total trust is resumed.

Elvish written potion list HERE

The Faery Witch always has a portable carry case.

She places the potions from her apothecary that she requires inside.

She also encloses dried herbs and notebooks.

Herbs used for protection & healing -

concealed in the case side panels

Most herbs for potions are harvested at dusk:

Dusk

At a time that is not a time,

in a place that is not a place,

on a day that is not a day..

Below is a famous recipe some think will enable them to see the fae

(Text has link to a simplified version)

TO ENABLE ONE TO SEE THE FAIRIES.

A pint of sallet oyle* (salad oil)

and put it into a vial glasse; and first wash it with

rose-water and marygolde water ;

the flowers to be gathered towards the east.

Wash it till the oyle becomes white,

then put into the glasse,

and then put thereto the budds

of hollyhocke, the flowers of marygolde,

the flowers or toppes of wild thyme,

the budds of young hazle, and the

thyme must be gathered neare the side of a hill where fairies

use to be ; and take the grasse of a fairy throne ;

then allthese put into the oyle in the glasse

and sette it to dissolvethree dayes in the sunne

and then keep it for the use

Recipe dated 1600 housed in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford, England.

PS: Fairy Throne (the rings one sees on grass the morning following a rain)

Some say - astro, fairy thrones can usually be identified

without actually seeing the fairies...pondering thought...

Other ideas on how to see the fae are:

Gathering fern seeds at midnight on Midsummer Eve and rubbing them on your eyelids.

rosemary---incense attracts

Foxglove plant it in your garden to attract them,

it works like a welcome mat on your doorstep, but don't take the stuff into your house,

the fae take it as an invitation to move right in....

Fairy Herbs

Another recipe to see the fae

Jasmoon was informed that the green beverage

we all know today as 'Absinthe' was actually faery wine.

Although the original was a produced a little different.

A fae befriended a human doctor,
in Switzerland in the 1790's.

Sadly the faes trust was diminished by deceit.

The doctor marketed the faery wine, as an herbal elixir
as it actually improves the cognitive function of the brain.

Luckily for the fae the human had to leave out
a certain plant that was in place of Wormwood used today.
Due to the faes own variety : stjarna absinthium
not grown in humankinds lands.

However the human style of faery wine is quite potent.

Humans nicknamed the beverage 'Green fairy'

due to the colour caused by the sickness
the fae felt upon human betrayal.

Another faes story goes as far back as biblical times,
(not long for them) when the fae gave the potion only,
not recipe, to humankind.
It was. . .used in medicine and magic. . .
to rouse a languid appetite and stimulate digestion’.
It treated ‘epilepsy, gout, drunkenness, kidney stones, colic,
headaches’and worms.”
Humankind believed the faes spirit
was captured within the bottle.

Absinthe Recipe

1.5 oz Wormwood1/3 oz Hyssop1/3 oz Calamus Root

1/8 oz Fennel Seed1 tsp Mint *1 tsp cloves *1 tsp coriander

*1/2 tsp Nutmeg *2 Star Ansise fruits*

1/2 Dropper full of Wormwood Essential Oil.*

1/3 - 2/3 Bottle of Anise Extract (To taste)

1 tsp Mint Extract *

2-10 shots Ouzo* (To taste) - to replace missing ingredient

The fae poured their faery wine over faery flamed sugar,

Luckily the human doctor only came up with this recipe,

absolutely not faery sugar

but close enough for humans to be happy.

(The fae use their faery sugar in the

Ælfwaru - a female guardian potion.)

3 cups fine white sugar

1 tablespoon Vanilla extract (the good stuff)

1/8 teaspoon red food coloring

Glass container

Lay sugar on wax paper and sprinkle on the Vanilla;

stir into the sugar till all mixed in.

Next sprinkle on the red food coloring
and incorporate in till sugar turns 'Faery pink'.

Save in glass container,

(Fairy Dust Recipe link)

The fae said that even though they speak with

what sounds like an Elvish tongue

it is actually a language that uses hieroglyphs!!! Wow!

They explained that this form of hieroglyph is from their original source....

Where you ask.... oh that's for another time :0)

Jasmoon was permitted to copy their alphabet

they use for human encounters,

connections that last at least one whole year -

(it takes some many years and that's if you were

lucky enough to make initial contact).

Jasmoon has been extremely blessed to have had

contact over quite a long period of time..

However you are extremely fortunate too as

Jasmoon has permission

to share her alphabet sketches.

The fae are aware that You (yes you) are

very, very, special person,

kindness oooozes from your fingertips

via the keypad right through

to this page...amazing!

Hence being able to see the following sketches,

sadly some can not - those those break the fae rules.

Please note: For those that can not see the fae symbols....naughty naughty!

Jasmoon hears the fae stirring your IâNathron potion already!

Well enough of all that ...where were we, oh yes below is the faery alphabet,

Please remember do not give your knowledge to just anyone....

The fae gave permission to share but the symbols can only be shared with flowing, goodness :0)

Here goes:

Faery alphabet

Here is a sketch Jasmoon created aged seven

(a sacred number to the fae)

Faery flower

It is via her first encounter with a fae of which appeared to grow from a flower...

As this is Jasmoon's interpretation please do not take the image in a literal sense
as to what a fae actually looks like. This is the imagery that Jasmoon witnessed
as the fae showed itself beginning to take shape.

Hopefully one day you will may experience this encounter with the fae yourself x
