When deciding what to add to your simmer pot, first consider your goal.
Is it a special holiday or Sabbat?
Do you have a magical purpose?
Do you just want to cleanse, warm, and recharge the energy in your space?
Would you just like to honor nature?
Select your ingredients based on your desired outcome!
Water β this element is what sets the stage for your simmer pot
Earth β choose items from Mother Nature, oranges, cloves, rosemary, pine, etc.
Fire- the heating element under your simmer pot correlates with the element of fire
Air β the simmer potβs steam permeates your space
Spirit β listen to your intuition when selecting ingredients and set the simmer pot in motion, add the YOU!
Let's Begin.
As mentioned, choose your ingredients based on your desired outcome, make a list.
For example, if the intention is general protection, you could use rain water, rosemary, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, star anise, and vanilla.

If the above does not resonate with you, there is always the option of programming your own water.
A simple method for this is taking a sheet of paper, writing intentions or power words, and then setting it under a container of water and leaving out under the moon light for one night. Another way to program water is to set intentions through speaking, singing, or chanting to it. Sit quietly while holding a container of water, visualize your intended end result, and speak your intentions for that water.

Water to ingredient ratio:
An unwritten rule to follow here is enough water to fill your pot two-thirds full. As for the other ingredients, use as much or as little as you feel drawn to use for each. Always make sure you have plenty of water and never leave your simmer pot unattended while simmering!
Simmer for as long as you'd like, while remembering that water evaporates and you may need to add some throughout the day, if you're simmering all day.
