As the weather cools down here in phoenix, it's a good time for garden projects and small harvests. If you missed the full moon last night, that's okay you can always create rituals, not just on full or new moon.
I rarely buy flowers because it makes me so sad they are cut just to die they don't get a full life on their plant, but when someone gifts us flowers we make the most of it! I hang them to dry to be used in various crafts but in this case, a soft rose not fully dried rose will allow for tighter rolling and wrapping.
As you can see these roses are sad but not totally dried. This is the perfect stage for a rose smudge stick and I just pull the petals seperately to use.
Gather the bundle together and fold some rose petals around the bundle then wrap in string, the tighter the better.
It was also fun because my daughter learned how to tie knots for this project. hello, fine motor skills.
Lay flat to dry and light under extreme care and supervision, allow to cool on ceramic or fire resistant surface after burning.
And if you do make these near a full moon, set some intentions and place them under the moon light with crystals to charge all that lunar energy.
