02:50

video all righty welcome back let's dive

02:53

into to Hanging her

02:56

bundles hanging her bundles can look

02:59

like like anything they can take form in

03:02

a ton of different ways and they can be

03:04

crafted for just about any purpose as

03:06

well they are made and hung above the

03:10

areas that are relevant to the working

03:12

often hanging herb bundles tie to the

03:14

home so it's common to see them above

03:17

doorways windows on doors or above

03:20

workstations or in specific areas of

03:24

working such as the kitchen or the

03:27

bathroom as I mentioned earlier bundles

03:30

can be crafted for any intention or

03:33

purpose but it's very very common to see

03:36

them made for protection for Prosperity

03:39

or for something like enhanced magic or

03:41

power it does depend on where they are

03:44

placed first and foremost for their

03:48

spell intention of course but because

03:50

they are often placed on doorways this

03:52

is why we very often see

03:55

protection hanging art bundles are also

03:58

a very Central aspect to Green Hearth

04:01

craft it is a very primary practice in

04:04

hearth craft practices so a good one to

04:07

have in your back pocket if you are

04:09

someone who tends to follow paths that

04:11

are herbal and

04:15

[Music]

04:18

homebased now when it comes to crafting

04:20

them it's very very simple and

04:23

straightforward the materials you'll

04:25

need to craft your own hanging or bundle

04:27

uh include natural fiber twine or string

04:32

something that can bind it all together

04:34

you can also use ribbon with certain

04:36

colors if you would prefer personally I

04:38

do prefer to use something that is made

04:40

of natural fibers so that I can put it

04:43

in back into the Earth and it will

04:45

decompose fully once I'm am fully done

04:47

with the

04:48

spell you will also need a handful of

04:52

fresh or semi-dried herbs with long

04:55

stems you can work with dried herbs if

04:59

you only have access to them but I

05:01

recommend working with them in addition

05:04

to the fresher semi-dried herbs because

05:07

it is kind of difficult to tie them into

05:10

a nice bundle once they're all the way

05:13

dried often they may break and snap and

05:17

it just doesn't really work as well but

05:20

if you have some fresh or semi-dried

05:22

herbs already tied into a bundle you can

05:25

tuck the dried herbs into that as

05:27

well and of course it's important that

05:30

they have long stems so that you can tie

05:32

them together so anything that is

05:34

powdered or just flower heads or crushed

05:38

leaves it's much harder to tie those

05:41

down together into s

05:44

bundle also in most senses an herb

05:47

bundle is tied at one point and so

05:50

everything is best if it can attach

05:53

there I do occasionally weave in other

05:55

herbs and almost sew in other herbs like

06:00

um orange slices in the winter so there

06:03

are options and of course if you would

06:05

prefer to make it into some sort of

06:07

design that's very very welcome but

06:10

making sure that they all can tie

06:12

together is important so really Baseline

06:15

all you need twine and handful of herbs

06:18

of you're choosing that tie to the

06:21

intent you trying to work

06:23

with typically I like to work in groups

06:26

of three but you can work with as many

06:28

as you would like to

06:30

I also really enjoy working with

06:32

seasonal herbs and I find a hanging herb

06:34

bundle is a fantastic means of working

06:37

seasonal

06:42

magic so once you've gathered your

06:44

materials it's time to make your hanging

06:47

herb bundle and to do this it is so

06:50

simple and so straightforward really all

06:52

you do is gather each of your herbs

06:55

together into a bundle and tie them off

07:01

I usually like to go one by one with

07:03

each one imparting my intent into them

07:06

making sure that the magic that I wish

07:08

to work with them is

07:11

known and then I layer them in whatever

07:13

way feels right to me often placing the

07:16

more Woody herbs at the base of the

07:20

stack of them and the softer ones on top

07:23

if there's a combination like

07:25

that and then I just tie it off as

07:28

tightly as I can

07:31

as the herbs dry they will shrink down

07:33

so it is important that you tie it

07:35

really really tightly and really really

07:37

well or they may fall out during their

07:40

drying process and like I mentioned

07:42

earlier if you are working with some

07:44

dried herbs as well after you tie it off

07:47

you can tuck those into the herbs and

07:50

those dried herbs should stay pretty

07:53

well as the other herbs

07:56

dry once I have it all bound together I

07:59

like to another moment imparting my

08:00

intent into the whole craft before

08:02

taking it and placing it where I wish

08:05

for it to work typically I do make these

08:07

sore charms or window charms but I do

08:10

put them up in other places in my home

08:12

as

08:16

well her bundles make fantastic seasonal

08:20

charms because of their Simplicity

08:22

they're so easy to make and because they

08:24

dry through the season they kind of work

08:28

their magic in very um nice Progressive

08:31

Way I have found and so I typically like

08:34

to exchange them

08:36

seasonally so when a season comes to a

08:38

close I take down the previous herb

08:41

bundle put it into my compost so it will

08:44

go back into the Earth and then I will

08:46

go through the process again of making a

08:47

new one and placing it where the

08:49

previous one

08:51

hung herb bundles are really such a

08:54

simple but beautiful craft they look

08:57

very pleasing they look just like like

08:59

you're hanging up some dried herbs so

09:02

they are also a fairly discreet form of

09:04

magic but their Simplicity and their

09:06

beauty does not limit their power I

09:09

really do adore them and they're a type

09:11

of practice that I turn to all the time

09:14

and I truly absolutely adore them for

09:16

protective magic I use them most often

09:19

for protection magic and they work well

09:22

but they're of course not limited and

09:24

can be made for any style of magic that

09:28

you would like and any intention and

09:30

anything and feel free to get creative

09:32

with it make them your own tie them to

09:35

yourself and your practice in whatever

09:37

way feels best to

09:43

you so with that thank you so much for
