Simmer pots
Simmer pots incorporate all four elements, making them not only green witchcraft, but also elemental magick. You fill your pot with water, use herbs/spices from the earth, heat the ingredients with fire, and the steam rises into the air.
Certain aromas can stimulate our olfactory system and trigger memories of a particular place or event and the feeling evoked by that experience. You can use this to your advantage in spellcrafting, setting the stage for a certain spell or ritual with a simmer pot by using the scent to get into the right state of mind. A simmer pot is basically a homemade air freshener. Stir counter clockwise to banish, and clockwise to set intentions.
