Herbal Sprays: How to Make Sage Spray & More Magical Spray Recipes

Wouldn’t you like to have an herbal spray that makes negative vibes disappear? Sure, you can buy sprays in a store or online, but what about making your own? Making your own herbal concoctions for magical purposes makes the effect that much stronger. Here we learn how to make sage spray, as well as magical herbal sprays for intentions including peace and harmony, money and love.

What Is A Magical Herbal Spray?

Essentially, just what it sounds like: a spray made of herbal-infused water and/or other liquids then sprayed in the air or elsewhere for magical intentions. There are different ways to make magical herbal sprays – the difference comes down to intention, ingredients, and preservation. I’ve found they work best for the following intentions: cleansing, bringing peace and harmony, love, and prosperity to a household. Using this method of cleansing is often a lot better for people who have allergies to smoke from herb bundles. Or if you set off your fire alarm too much!

How to Make Sage Spray For Cleansing Your Space

Let’s get down to it. Here’s how to make sage spray to cleanse negative energy and entities from your space. This type has alcohol as a preservative so it should last some time.

What You’ll Need:

• A spray bottle (small or medium sized)
• Distilled water
• 1-2 tsp vodka (or 20%+ grain alcohol)
• Sage (fresh or dried, a handful depending on how much water you’re using and how big your spray bottle is. You’ll have to eye it. If you use fresh sage, use your mortar and pestle to gently press on the leaves to release their oils before use. Note: I use culinary sage instead of white.)
• Sea or Himalayan Salt: a pinch

What To Do:

1. Put a small to medium sized pot on the stove and add your distilled water. Make sure it’s enough to fill your bottle, whatever size you choose.
2. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to a simmer and add the sage leaves.
3. As you’re making this herbal concoction, tell each ingredient it’s job. Talk to the spray and tell it your intentions. This activates the ingredients.
4. Let simmer for 6-10 minutes then remove from heat.
5. Add a pinch of salt.
6. Allow to cool then strain the herbs out.
7. Add your vodka.
8. Pour into spray bottle, cap and shake gently.
9. Open the windows and spray around your home to remove negative energy and entities.
10. Label and keep somewhere dark and cool (cabinet or pantry works great!) Use within a few weeks to a month, preferrably.

Magical Herbal Spray for Peace and Harmony in the Household

If there’s been any discord in the home, first I cleanse then I spray for peace and prosperity. It works almost instantly! This kind of spray doesn’t last long so you should use it the day you make it. A small bottle is best so you don’t waiste as much.

What You’ll Need:

• Small pot
• Moon water (up to 1 cup)
• Lavender (1 tsp)
• Passion flower (1 tsp)
• Small spray bottle

What To Do:

1. Set your pot on the stove and pour in the moon water.
2. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer.
3. Add your lavender and passion flower, all the while visualizing and/or speaking your intentions. This method serves as a simmering potpourri too! Double the power!
4. Simmer for 7 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and let cool.
6. Strain the herbs.
7. Pour herb-infused water into the spray bottle.
8. Spray around the home or your space to promote peace and harmony.
9. Use this spray as soon as you make it, as there is no preservative in it.

How to Make An Herbal Spray for Money Money Money

This is a great recipe for increasing the money and prosperity in your home or in your business. If you want to make a big batch and preserve it, add 1-2 tsp of vodka (like with the sage spray recipe above). It’s also much easier to make because there’s no stove or pot involved.

What You’ll Need:

• Small to medium spray bottle (if you make a larger batch, add your vodka!)
• Distilled water
• Basil Essential Oil (3-5 drops)
• Rosemary Essential Oil (3 drops)
• Peppermint Essential Oil (3 drops)
• 2 tsp Vodka (if you’re making a large batch that you want to preserve)

What To Do:

1. Add your water to the spray bottle.
2. Then add your basil, rosemary, and peppermint oils while visualizing money pouring into your bank account. Like the flood gates have been opened!
3. Next add your vodka if you’re making a batch you want to preserve.
4. Shake gently and continue visualizing that money, Honey!
5. Spray around your home or business and say, “money flow freely to me, for the highest good of all, so mote it be!”
6. Label and store if you made a big batch and used vodka as a preservative.

How to Store Magical Herbal Sprays

Here’s the deal. Storage really comes down to what ingredients you use to make your sprays. If you’re making a simple infusion in water or moonwater, for example, storing your spray in the fridge for a week or two should keep it relatively fresh to use around the house and on yourself. However, I don’t recommend keeping a herbal infusion in water in your cabinet or a warm space. It will go back quickly and may harbor bacteria, etc. Don’t forget to label it with the name and date.

If you choose to make a spray and include a preservative like alcohol, the spray will keep well in a cool, dark space for up to 6 months in my experience. Alcohol-based tinctures, on the other hand, last up to 2 years if they are completely made up of alcohol. But since we’re talking sprays, I say 6 months when alcohol is used a preservative in addition to water and the herbs.

Make Them YOUR OWN: Experiment!

My favorite part of my magical practice is experimenting and making my own recipes. You should do the same. Try out different herbs for various intentions. Rose and lavender for love. Rue for banishing. Lemon balm for relieving anxiety. Try different methods of making sprays including infusing herbs into water on the stove and simply using essential oils. Experiment with different kinds of water if you’re not preserving your mixture, for example moon water, sun water, or water from rivers or the ocean etc. Record the results and any faux-pas in your grimoire so you can tweak your recipes as needed.
