In my banishment workings, I use tumbleweeds (usually Salsola tragus) because we have an abundance of them in my desert, and I also think the nature of their 'moving on' is useful for banishing. For this reason, I only use tumbleweeds that have detached from the ground. I like to grind them and add them to castor oil.
I have spent the last decade noticing that I haven't seen many tumbleweeds in that time, but they were a dime a dozen when I was younger. But I love this idea if I see any this summer.
I have a cedar tree that has been with me for years I think it was a little Christmas tree in a pot. It endures here in dry CA. It has such beautiful patterns in the twigs.
Annie, another helpful video. I just found something very witchy at my local library in a not so witchy place, the science books. It was a book on edible and medicinal plants of the Great Lakes. It is full of Native American lore on plants and their uses. Free books from the government, yay!
Just made a banishment, protection salt herb blend for our home as we're about to start having major work done on her. Cedar pine and clove were major elements. I love these common threads of knowledge that weave us all together. Your videos are so peaceful, beautiful and informative.
Crafted an herbal Banishing Spell candle a few days ago, and I must say I'm blessed and thankful 🙏✨. People who were carrying negative energy were removed from my home immediately. The vibration shifted into love and gratitude almost instantly. I am starting to understand more and more about the power of intention, prayer, and ancient knowledge of the natural world 🌄. Thankful for these teachings 🙏🙏
Just out of curiosity. if you do this to banish a negative person, what does that person feel? what happens to make them stay away from you. Thank you, Namaste
This is a wonderful teaching and thank you for taking the time to show others. If you have access to cactus, that is also great for banishing. Blessed be 🕯️🗝️🕯️.
I just found your channel and started watching videos. I love you, I'm not big on witchcraft, but I do love your vibration of ease and alignment with these subject matters and that is super precious for anyone watching. Love you, hugs.
Hi Annie, thank you for this video! As cedar and pine aren‘t really local here - would rosemary and fir needles (collected from my Christmas tree….) work as well?
Annie, I have a question? Since I live near the beach can I add some sea shell's or a piece of palm tree leafs? And how long does this banishing oil typically last? Thank you so much for your helpful idea's you are the best!
Namaste, Thank you for sharing this, it's so nice and refreshing. I have always been attracted to pine trees even like to chew & make tea, I akways have cedar with me, & funny but i have been thinking about restacking my cloves i ran out a couple of days ago. I truly love your video, you have a very special energy, & your natural way of talking just like if we were in the same room it's so nice & inviting.
Oh my, just came upon your channel. Wonderful! You have such a soothing way of explaining things. If I wanted to banish a very toxic neighbor, how would I use this oil? Her house is encrusted with security cameras. My health is suffering
Anyone else notice the humming and occasional thumping sound every time she was talking? Such a soft soothing voice which is easily washed out by background sounds. Hopefully this was just a onetime thing. I’ve never noticed it before. Thanks for another great video! Always a pleasure! ♥️
✨Baby’s witch question✨…I’m curious if anyone thinks it’s okay to add protective properties into it for the user? I just made a banishing/ward off satchel for a coworker. Plan to make one for myself this weekend. Our work environment has some toxic and bad energies. Plan to make this oil next and want to add some protection in for myself and a co-worker. Should I just make a whole separate oil for protection? After the banishing. Or is it okay to have the two properties in one, or mix the two oils once created separately. Any advice, tips/help is greatly appreciated! 💛
Love the recipes you share. I'm curious how long this would be good before the remainder would need to be discarded. What is a good 'use by' date? I kinda want to use this at my job. Especially since most of what we have, use and give out is donated and often from deceased persons.
You would have to check the shelf life of whatever oil you are using once opened. Google preservatives for oil + botanical formulations. If it's not being used for skin you may be able to get away with vitamin e oil to prolong the shelf life.
This came at the perfect time, I used dried lemon peel, cedar, pine and cloves. I can't wait to be able to use it. Just realized, it's waxing right now, not waning, should I remake it?
So when you say "cedar" are you talking about true cedar, from the Latin Cedrus family, most of which do not grow in the N American continent, or the false cedars, most from the from the Latin Thuja family? Where do you source your cedar if you are using the Cedrus? Loved this video, we're all feeling at ends right now.
It doesn't look like our native Thuja to me, hers seems more 'needly' than 'scaly' if that makes sense. I'm guessing it might be an ornamental cedar of some kind that was planted for landscaping purposes. I know in Portland we have a lot of Atlas Cedar hanging around, which seem to do well despite not being native to this continent.
I was watching another witch (sorry). She was saying BEFORE ANY spell to take a salt bath, ask the elements for protection. Then AFTER the spell THANK the elements and AGAIN take a salt bath. WHO HAS TIME for ALL that?? Is it REALLY NECESSARY?!
Maybe casting a protection circle before start it's enough, and at the end thank the elements. (I don't have time to take 2 baths, etc either 😆) I believe that working with your intuition/what feels right and comfortable to you, is key. I mean, it's fantastic to have guidelines, but each witch applies what suits best. And also I think that depends on the work/spell you are doing. Perhaps for a self-love spell is better going for a bath. (I am not english speaker, so I'm sorry if it's a bit confusing). That's the way I see it.😉🙌.
I have a lot of oak and 1 large Black Walnut Tree on my property. are they goodfor drawing entergy for money. I need a lot of work done to this old house. Plumbing , I have a leak on the roof a tree limb fell on my roof, now I have a leak. I need window replaced, all 16 of them . 3 doors one of which is completely gone I have packed it up on the out side ... I boarded it up, with 2 sheets of insulation, covered with exterior sheets of siding. Inside of the house where the door is missing I put my China Hutch in front of the door. I am planning on a complete remodel. The house has good bones it's worth remodeling. This house is built entirely with shiplap. I love it.
This seems useful since i found out I am allergic to mugwort. Anything relative to walk-ins or anything similar? Also allergic to clove... Seems concerning.
A lot of witchcraft is based around your own connections to herbs and natural resources. Are there any customs in Greece or on your island for expelling negative energy? Do any plants around you remind you of banishing? It's time to brainstorm!
Question. Can I substitute Cannabis leaves or stems for the Cedar? There's much energy with this at home (oils, salves, tinctures, etc.). Thank you kindly in advance. Thank you.
Do I have to keep it for whole night in the dark moon? Somewhere in the open or can be kept inside the house? And Can I make a love spell with rose and hibiscus like this one you did? If yes, can I use coconut oil instead of olive oil? Please reply if anyone knows!
Thank you for this great video. I would love to see you using your oils. I use mine for cleaning or anointing furniture . May we see how you actually use them?
Hi! I just had a quick question, I know it might sound a little silly but it boggled me a little bit. I understand why it's better to start it during the dark moon and that you mentioned it's best to wait until at least the following dark moon, or if possible until the full moon following. And I wanted to ask, why the full moon following and not a full second cycle til the next dark moon? ( I mean I'm sure it's fine to let it go two cycles or however long you need, that's not really what I'm asking, what I mean is, why the full moon and not the dark moon if you wouldn't mind explaining?) Also thank you for sharing the recipe, I really enjoy your videos and find them fascinating both in terms of information and aesthetic. :)
From an herbalism standpoint, we usually say that 4-6 weeks is the preferred amount of time to let extracts (oils/tincutres/acetates alike) sit and do their thing, as it gives the base longer time to fully extract the properties from the herbs. One full cycle or cycle and a half is the same as this 4-6 weeks! There are probably many reasons why she/you may choose to extract these herbs specifically between two dark moons. My interpretation is that it's best to begin this oil on a dark moon in order to utilize the cleansing or fresh-beginning energies that the dark moon may provide. Waiting until at least the next dark moon could simply be be cause of the 4-6week extraction time, but from a spiritual standpoint this may be because it is enough time to cleanse during the waxing moon, attract positive energies (or to just strengthen the energies) at the full moon, and then utilizing the banishing energies of the waning cycle. This part is more personal I believe.
But this oil is not meant to be used medicinally (like applied on the skin etc), Annie is going to use it mostly for objects she brings into the house, as she said. So I don’t think extraction rules matter all that much here, you can infuse it for longer than 6 weeks…but also from one dark moon to the next is plenty of time to infuse an oil for magickal purposes. How potent it will be depends on how much energy you put into it. When I’m making an oil, I don’t just put the ingredients in and forget about it for a month - I work it. I add more energy every couple of days to help it “cook”…anyway that’s just my perspective on it 🙂
If something calls for, say, cedar, does it make a difference if you use leaves vs the wood? Also do different species have different energies/effects?

I love this idea. 💡 We get a lot where I live. Thanks!
Mmm, intention is made powerful by symbolism so that was a good idea
🤣🤣
Hey that's pretty smart
I have a cedar tree that has been with me for years I think it was a little Christmas tree in a pot. It endures here in dry CA. It has such beautiful patterns in the twigs.

Can you share the name ?
just a friendly correction, it's knowledge not lore! our knowledge is still relevant and passed on to our younger generations.
I'm interested in doing this, once made and gone through moon cycle, what to do next?
Just made a banishment, protection salt herb blend for our home as we're about to start having major work done on her. Cedar pine and clove were major elements. I love these common threads of knowledge that weave us all together. Your videos are so peaceful, beautiful and informative.
I dnt know where to get cedar pine is there any alternative to that ? Can i put garlic or rosemary instead ?
I’ve also heard juniper to be great for cleansing, banishing and protection, and there’s a lot of juniper that grows in my part of the country
Side note: Your sense of style is really evolving, and it looks great.

💯💯💯

Love the smell of *pine trees* ♡ I could get addicted to the smell of this oil
Her voice is so soothing
Your voice is so soothing.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
I am in class but I can’t wait to watch this when my students go to lunch!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Here in Portugal we have SO MANY PINE TREESSS!
Also, near cemeteries, there are Cypresses
My favorite banishment spell is called "restraining order."
that's certainly an impactful one
One of the best comments I’ve seen
What is it?
Or an Eviction notice.Get out - go - leave and do not come back.
Always love the twilight type music in your videos
yes - on intent video, please & thank you. all the best from the va. blue ridge mountains.
Thank you so much for you banishing series. It helped me alot already. I'm looking forward to learn more from you 💚
This is a wonderful teaching and thank you for taking the time to show others. If you have access to cactus, that is also great for banishing. Blessed be 🕯️🗝️🕯️.
Thank you for sharing. I collect lots of antiques. Am going to try this. My house feels heavy.
Honey I been waiting on this kinda spell for a very long time! Thank you so much my dear, sending you love and light!
I really enjoy your sharing and I was just looking for something else to use to protect my home and yes I would love another extension video
I just found your channel and started watching videos. I love you, I'm not big on witchcraft, but I do love your vibration of ease and alignment with these subject matters and that is super precious for anyone watching. Love you, hugs.
Hi Annie, thank you for this video! As cedar and pine aren‘t really local here - would rosemary and fir needles (collected from my Christmas tree….) work as well?
those would be great substitutions!
@@TheGreenWitch Many thanks for your answer!
Thanks again, love your videos! I’d love one with more about intent
I like cinnamon , ginger , and clove lightweight banishing in olive oil
Mullein , White , Sage in Caster oil for medium strength
Thank you 🙏🏻. Yes please make another video on intent…. I would love to know how you approach working with intentions 🥰
I just figured out you love in Washington too! And I was just writing a comment saying: well I shouldn’t ever run out of pine/cedar.
Annie, I have a question? Since I live near the beach can I add some sea shell's or a piece of palm tree leafs? And how long does this banishing oil typically last? Thank you so much for your helpful idea's you are the best!
From Texas, probably will put cactus needles in it lol.
that sounds perfect!
I, for one, would like to see another video on intent! Thank you. 😊
Lovely little wee spell 🥰 x
Thank you for making this video. I think you have incredibly awesome energy.
Thank you for anticipating my needs❤
Ty for the video, very informative! I like applying my medium to my pencils or brushes as well as the canvas when doing sigils. 🦋
I love that
Namaste,
Thank you for sharing this, it's so nice and refreshing. I have always been attracted to pine trees even like to chew & make tea, I akways have cedar with me, & funny but i have been thinking about restacking my cloves i ran out a couple of days ago.
I truly love your video, you have a very special energy, & your natural way of talking just like if we were in the same room it's so nice & inviting.
I love your channel Annie. Blessed be.
Yes another intent video would be nice. Thank you, blessings
Definitely going to try this! I suppose it could be used for protection as well?
I'm definitely inspired, but I'm totally going to be using sweetgum balls since I'm in the American South
Thanks for the info! I would definitely watch another intent video :)
I would love to watch another intent video ❤
Oh my, just came upon your channel. Wonderful! You have such a soothing way of explaining things. If I wanted to banish a very toxic neighbor, how would I use this oil? Her house is encrusted with security cameras. My health is suffering
Good one! I’ve been wondering: do you use extra virgin olive oil for your spells or regular?
Really enjoyed this.
I've just found your channel - Love the concept of this, thank you for putting it across so perfectly 🖤
Thank you Annie for sharing this.
I'm about to move into a new home, so this will be great to make for that. 💗
Thank you for sharing! I have a cedar tree and pine tree so I will make this oil tonite! 🤗💜💜
Ever Try Goldenrod Bundles Annie? Burn very nicely
Anyone else notice the humming and occasional thumping sound every time she was talking? Such a soft soothing voice which is easily washed out by background sounds. Hopefully this was just a onetime thing. I’ve never noticed it before.
Thanks for another great video! Always a pleasure! ♥️
I was just looking for you to do more oils 🥰😍
Yay! You're back! I've missed you 😀
mint is super abundant around here, I may substitute that or nettle!!
I would absolutely watch another intent video!
Thank you for this beautiful oil 😊

Depends how well it's stored. I can usually smell when it goes off.
You would have to check the shelf life of whatever oil you are using once opened. Google preservatives for oil + botanical formulations. If it's not being used for skin you may be able to get away with vitamin e oil to prolong the shelf life.
yes please, another intent video :)
This was so easy and fun to craft. Where should I store it until it is ready to strain?
This came at the perfect time, I used dried lemon peel, cedar, pine and cloves. I can't wait to be able to use it. Just realized, it's waxing right now, not waning, should I remake it?
You mention using this on furniture, is it wood safe, or do you use it in an inconspicuous spot like the bottom in case it leaves a stain?
i was wondering this as well, thanks
How do you use your love spell after making it? Bath with it? Drink it? Spray it? Or just keep in fridge forever?
So when you say "cedar" are you talking about true cedar, from the Latin Cedrus family, most of which do not grow in the N American continent, or the false cedars, most from the from the Latin Thuja family?

Hi Annabel! I come from Greece and live on an island. Cedar is not easy to be found here. What could I use instead? Thank you for all the knowledge.
A lot of witchcraft is based around your own connections to herbs and natural resources. Are there any customs in Greece or on your island for expelling negative energy? Do any plants around you remind you of banishing? It's time to brainstorm!

If you leave in the herbs for a year you can add more oil as needed ( con cider what Caster oil dose for you.
Did you use it on the new dresser behind you that Olivia helped to cleanse?
Thank you for this great video. I would love to see you using your oils. I use mine for cleaning or anointing furniture . May we see how you actually use them?
I put sigils on my doors with my oils, especially with protection/banishing any negative energy. Blessed be,,!
Great video, thank you :)
I love your videos. I would like to know what's the shape of your necklace, is it a knife or a feather?
Thanks!
Thank you for this 😍Would Cedar Oil work instead of Cedar Leaves?
I tried to make my own and use many different herbs. Are there some that shouldn't be used ?
Do you recommend using wooden bowls for your spells or does it matter?
Thank you ❤️
thanks so much
Annie, Can 🥥 oil be used as a substitute for Olive oil ?
absolutely!
Yes, in my country that’s what healers used for healing, they add herbs in it and pray over it.
@@TheGreenWitch Thanks ,Annie....I was wondering
Hi do you strain all of your spell oils?

I've wondered the same, so I'm commenting this to see a future answer

Dark moon is used for everything with banishing, & full moon will be to give it all the power if the full moon.
Intention video would be great 👍
I just made one with dragons blood ❤️ but I used it right away. Is this ok? The full moon just past over the weekend
I have spruce pine tree on my property can I use that. I also have rancid oil can ibuse that?
If something calls for, say, cedar, does it make a difference if you use leaves vs the wood? Also do different species have different energies/effects?
