A Spell to Bring Lustiness (2013)

A Spell to Bring Lustiness

This is a spell intended to bring lustiness to curators, organisers, artists, performers and guests.  Special beads, made with paper maché and dried flowers and infused with kitchen garden herbs are offered to those at the event. The beads are intended to bring vigour, vitality, strength, courage and joy to those who keep one in their pocket or their shoe throughout the event.  Sometimes the beads disintegrate and sometimes they simply disappear.  Should this happen, the magic spell will be particularly effective

 Post-gig blues often occur a day or so after a performance or festival has ended.   To help alleviate post-gig blues, those attending the event are offered a little package to take away with them which contains all the ingredients for them to prepare a DIY ritual. Light the charcoal disk and add some of the Frankincense and Myrrh.  Take the rosemary spring and inhale its scent as you remember your event.

 Lustiness. 1.Full of vigour or vitality; robust. 2. Powerful; strong: a lusty cry. 3.Lustful. 4. Merry; joyous.

The packet with RED string contains 23 ritual beads.

The 2 packets with GREEN string contain dried herbs and fresh herbs.
The day before your event, empty the contents of the two packets with green string into a bowl.  Place the ritual beads into the bowl so that they are infused with the magical powers of the herbs.  On the day of your event, remove the beads from the bowl and remember to take them with you to the event.
