Woooooo, basil!

I couldn't resist getting nice matching pots like this once I found ones with a water drainage storage and that were actually well-sized for basil. I got the left plant from the Home Depot plant nursery and the right one from Safeway, and they're clearly different varieties of basil, but they smell and taste basically identical and I can't tell the difference aside from their appearance.

Anyway, the place I'm moving to in June is going to have a south-facing patio, so I'm really excited to be growing some stuff on it! It'll be these two basil plants, a sweet mint plant, and a sun sugar yellow cherry tomato hybrid, all in pots!

Something nobody really talks about with omori is the weird lack of magic

Like- Headspace is plenty whimsical and all but most of the characters use melee weapons or- in the case of space ex-boyfriend GUNS

The only characters I can think of who explicitly use magic are the unbread twins, life jam guy

And weirdly also Basil

Like?? You genuinely wouldn’t know in a regular playthrough but headspace Basil is magic??? Like the whole game he goes on and on about “oh I can’t fight oh I wish I was strong like you guys” but then you bring him into battle AND HE STARTS CONJURING PLANTS OUT OF THE GROUND TO DEFEAT HIS ENEMIES

LIKE??

YOU COULD DO THAT THIS WHOLE TIME ???

Conclusion: sunny decided the only people in his whimsical dream world worthy of magic powers were the literal gods of life and death…. And also his best buddy Basil who gets plant magic

The Hanged Man (XII) is the twelfth Major Arcana card in most traditional tarot decks.

Upright, this card can symbolize surrender, sacrifice, and perspective. Reversed, it can symbolize stagnation, indecision, and impulsiveness.

ベランダで冬越ししたサフィニア “小梅ちゃん” の花が咲き出しました 🌸 それからなんとホーリーバジルも枯れずに生き残ったんですよ。奇跡みたい❣️ そして、一見枯れ木のようだった杏子 “ハーコット” とプルンバーゴも、無事に冬越えして新芽を芽吹かせてくれました。これはついつい水をあげたくなる気持ちをグッと抑えて、乾き気味に保ったのが功を奏したかな？🌱

How to Use Herbs: Basil (Sweet Basil)

Hwello again! This time we shall be talking about how to use basil in different forms. If you want more information about basil, please click this link to get to my basil post: Basil Let's get started.

Alchemist Formulas:

*Remember always try to see one part as a teaspoon before going into other measurements. Doing a smaller amount first and then trial and error is better than making too much and a mess.

Mars:

two parts red sandalwood

one part honeysuckle flowers

one part basil

one part ginger oil

one part juniper oil

Health

one part frankincense (Sun; vitality)

one part basil (Mars; energy)

one part cinnamon (Mercury; nervous system)

one part bay oil (Sun; health)

one part sandalwood oil (Moon; Inner Self)

Oils

Basil Essential Oil:

Ingredients

12 ounces olive oil

2 ounces basil, 1 packed cup

Remove basil leaves from stems.

Place olive oil in a pint sized mason jar.

Carefully stuff basil into mason jar and close the lid.

Store on a sunny windowsill for 1 day.

Use a funnel to strain oil and a spoon to smash last bits of oil out of leaves and discard the leaves.

Transfer oil to a decorative jar and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Prosperity Oil:

1 part mint

1 part basil

1 part cinnamon

1 part pine

Carrier oil of your choice (olive oil, jojoba oil and etc)

Simply take a small mason jar and fill it a 1/4 of the way up with your chosen oil.

Add in your herbs while thinking of your intentions of prosperity and abundance and swirl the jar around clockwise.

Then add a little bit more of the oil before closing the lid.

Awakening Oil:

*This needs to crafted on a full moon

1/4 cup carrier oil

Mason jar

2 drops of basil oil

2 drops of thyme oil

Pour your carrier oil into the mason jar and then added the drops of thyme and basil

Swirl it gently in a clockwise direction so it will mix thoroughly. Say, "I awaken, I listen, I see. Enlightenment come to me. Awareness, mindfulness, clarity. Illumination come to me."

Anoint your temples on your head and pulse points with your oil before doing divination work.

Spells

Basil Growth Spell

Chop fresh basil into fine threads.

Warm honey gently over the stove. (A double boiler or bain-marie is recommended, as honey scorches easily.)

Add the basil to the honey and simmer.

Remove the basil-enhanced honey from the source of heat and murmur over it something like this: "Flies flocks to honey, Customers flock to me, Bears flock to honey, Business flocks to me, Ants flock to honey, Contracts flock to me."

Run a warm bath for yourself.

Rub the honey over your body, and then enter the bath.

Soak in the water for a while. When you emerge, before you drain the water, reserve some of the used bathwater.

Toss this on the grounds of your business.

Sex Worker’s Better Business Spell

Dress a lodestone , a magnetite rock, with essential oils of basil, bergamot, and lavender. (In theory, the lodestones' gender may be coordinated with the gender of the clientele you wish to draw.)

Sprinkle with magnetic sand and a pinch of ground cinnamon.

Carry or wear to charm up added business.

Exorcism Powder

Blend the following ingredients together and grind into a fine powder:

Dried basil

Frankincense

Rosemary

Rue

Yarrow

2. Blend this powder with arrowroot powder.

3. Sprinkle as needed.

Basil Cleansing Bath

Pour approximately one cup of boiling water over one heaped teaspoon of dried basil.

Allow this to stand until the water cools, creating a strong infusion.

Add this to your bath.

Financial Dreams (For Solutions)

Sprinkle either infused basil oil or essential oil of basil onto a lodestone, just before going to sleep.

Get into bed, turn out the lights and gently rub the scented lodestone in a sunwise direction on your forehead. (When you awake, your forehead will probably be dirty. Don’t panic; lodestone dust is lucky.)

Keep the lodestone near the bed, so that you can inhale the basil

Since two of these spells ask for lodestone, here is where you can get some and arrowroot powder. Lodestone , Arrowroot Powder

It's pesto time. Grew this all myself in my window garden.

I thought I didn't like basil or pesto because I'd only had pesto with pine nuts in; turns out I love basil, I just hate pine nuts. I make pesto with this *gestures* amount of basil, half a cup of roasted cashews, half a cup of parmesan, four cloves of roasted garlic, and roughly 1/3 cup good olive oil. Whirr up everything but the olive oil in a food processor, then drizzle the oil in until it's the desired consistency.

It's a little less smooth than normal pesto, it's got some texture to it, but I love it on pizza, mixed with butter for "garlic" bread, or added to the yolk mixture for deviled eggs.

[ID: The hood of my stove, an elderly metal awning with several large plastic clips attached to it by magnets; each clip is facing downwards and holds a large stalk of basil (two different kinds!) I've been growing in my window garden. There's a lot of basil.]

something something photography being the art of memory and recording and basil being the photographer something something the way hes always the witness and never the subject and maybe he doesnt think he deserves to be the subject something something taking a photograph being the act of freezing a moment in time forever and basil (and sunny by extension) never being able to grow up and move on from what they witnessed the day mari died
