Today is Freya's Day on the old Gregorian calendar and the 12th day in the Imbolgen lunar cycle ~ Days of Reclamation. There is Major magickal energies for Art Projects and the correspondences for this are the colors White/Silver; the tarot card 8 of Pentacles and the rune is Kenaz. "Whatever
you make by hand will hold a little piece of your Spirit within it."
Prophetic Dream Pillow
To encourage dreams of the future make yourself a dream pillow. This is a sachet which can be placed under the pillow on nights when you seek answers in your sleep.
Take a rectangle of purple fabric about 5 by 10 inches. If you can find one with silver threads in it so much the better. Fold in half with the good side inside. Using silver-gray thread, stitch the edges by hand to make a small bag, leaving a small gap to insert your herbs. Turn the bag right side out through this gap and insert 2 tablespoons of Lavender flower, 4 bay leaves and a teaspoonful each of at least three of the following: Ash leaves, Broom tops, Cinquefoil, Holly, Huckleberry, Jasmine flowers, Marigolds, Mimosa, Mugwort, Peppermint or Rose petals. Then sew up the opening carefully.
It is best to use this on a night when you be reasonably sure of being able to wake naturally in the morning, without an alarm. Before retiring you should also place pen and paper nearby so that you can note your dreams immediately on waking. Do not use a dream pillow more than 3 times a month or you will become too accustomed to the herbs.
Your dream pillow will be more effective if you use fresh leaves and flowers, however it may not keep for long, so you might like to use dried material instead. In this case it can be 'activated' by sprinkling it with a little water and warming it in a plastic bag before use. When not in use your dream pillow should be wrapped in white cloth to protect it.
