Fairy Foraging in Berlin

09/06/2024

💐 it's magical flower season here in our big city. And as a magical flower fairy I have harvested some herbs and delicious sweet smelling flowers to make into smoke wands. In these bouquets are mugwart, catnip, yarrow, and more.

If you want to purchase one of these wands they are 9-18€ sliding scale, Including shipping if you are in Berlin !Order via "arts and delights order form" In my linktree / messege me

If you want to make your own here is the process -

1. Collect herbs from your local surroundings. Check for bugs , and shake the stems out before you put in your bag

2. Take off the foliage from the bottom 5-10 cm of the bundle. This will be the part you hold. Wrap string around this bottom part and then tie. The string should be about 50cm or more

3. Criss Cross the two ends of the string across the bundle and tie at the bottom

4. Set in a warm dry place (or outside) to dry for a week or two

5. Light in a place with no flammable objects around, and enjoy. Put out in a cup of sand. Can also be hung around the doorway or on the car dashboard for protection.

Earlier this month we went on a short foraging walk around Moabit, down Erna Samuel Str, and then to the
Zku where we tied up our hand bouquets with string and paid attention to the wonderful colors, smells, and insects we share the springtime blossoms with. What I love about these walks is we can develop a very meaningful relationship with the plants around us while making a beautiful and artistic flower arrangement on the go! Some featured botanicals in this early may gathering - cat mint, moonshine yarrow, mugwart, and red valerian. What do you love about the spring in Berlin ?
