Home Protection Spells: 3 Simmering Potpourri Recipes

Potpourri is double purpose: it makes your house smell good AND packs a magical punch. This isn’t your mother’s kind of potpourri – it’s your witchy great aunt’s. And…she used it as a means to bless and protect the household. Ready to learn how to make 3 EASY simmering potpourri recipes that serve as home protection spells?

First, What is a Simmer Pot?

Perhaps you’ve heard the term Simmer Pot. This is the same thing as a simmering potpourri, it’s just been given a new name. And in the witchy community, anything that we can do in a big pot with herbs and water, we are IN! Our stockpots and dutch ovens become our cauldrons. And the ingredients in a simmer pot become our spells. All you need is a pot, water, herbs and fruits that are aromatic and safe.

Magical Intentions for Simmering Potpourri

In my opinion, simmer pots are great for almost any magical intention. I employ them frequently to cleanse my kitchen space and raise the vibes in the home. Since the kitchen is the heart of the home, any spell done there will radiate out to the entire house. And the great thing about simmer pots is that they’re not only super simple, they’re super effective! Here’s a few other intentions for simmering potpourri: for peace and comfort, to soothe anxiety, to invoke a sense of joy, for protection, and for prosperity. But again, your intentions are totally up to you!

Something that you can do with simmer pots that most people don’t realize is that you can mix your intentions in the pot. What do I mean by this? I mean, each ingredient can represent a different energy you want to bring into the house. For example, you might use basil to draw prosperity, lemon to cleanse your space, and moon water to honor the goddess. All in one simmer pot spell! Just make sure your intentions match the vibes of one another. You wouldn’t want to banish an illness AND draw prosperity all in one simmer pot. Those two are opposites, and in my experience, would cancel each other out.
