They're simple to make, yet they produce powerful effects. Get a large amber-colored glass jar
and make sure it's clean, dry and sterile. Add a large amount of the desired herbs, preferrably crushed or mashed.
Just cover the top of the herbs in a high-quality vodka, rum, or grain alcohol. Let it sit in
a cool, dry, dark place for three weeks. Strain out the solids and add two tablespoons of glycerine per pint of liquid. The
finished tincture should keep for up to four or five years, assuming it's stored properly.
Tinctures can be used not only medicinally, though. There are hundreds of tincture recipes for
Magickal use, many of which I created myself. I'll add them to this herbs section shortly. But not now. Because it's 4:28
AM. And I need sleep.
