The Ultimate Guide to Potion Bases

We all spend so much time thinking about the correspondences of the actual ingredients that go into our potions that we often forget to think about what the potion base represents! (At least I do.) It would be nice to have a list of all the various liquids that can be used in place of water. Naturally, I can’t think of everything but I think this is a pretty good starting point! What else can be used? Eventually, at some point down the road, I will compile all these thoughts into a book on potion making and want to include this! Keep in mind that these are my own correspondences. Let me know if you disagree or if you’d change anything up! Let’s see how big we can make this list. Also, I should probably note that not all of these liquids can be ingested. (Obviously.)

The List

Vinegar: Used for cleansing and purification potions.  Lemon Juice: Used in hexing, cursing, or revenge potions.  Cranberry Juice: Used in love potions. Apple Juice: Used in healing, knowledge, and youth potions.  Ammonia: Used in banishing, cursing, purification, and protection  Red Wine: Love potions and potions dealing with death and the afterlife.  White Wine: Used in platonic love potions as well as success brews.  Rum: Used in potions involving spirit work.  Whisky: Another good base for potion work.  Vodka: A good base for work involving rapid banishing.  Laundry detergent: Good for cleansing potions.  Oils: Used to speed up a process.  Molasses: Used in potions intended to slow a situation down.  Rubbing Alcohol: Another good base for cleansing and purification. Hydrogen Peroxide: Used in healing potions.  Milk: Used in potions to promote sleep and peace.  Sour Milk: Used to cause nightmares or in potions designed to torment. Orange Juice: For potions of solar importance, healing, success.  Soda Water: Used in potions designed to encourage laughter and giddiness.  Ginger Ale: Used in health or healing potions.  Olive Juice: Used in peace potions.  Honey: Used in potions to sweeten up another’s disposition. Syrup: Used in abundance and prosperity potions.  Beer: Used in potions intended to induce slumber.  Clam Juice: Used in aphrodisiacs.  Cough Syrup: Used in healing potions and to make someone ‘cough it up.’ Soy Sauce: Used in protection potions. (Thanks Lexa Rosean for this one!) Pineapple Juice: Used in abundance potions and fidelity potions.  Coconut Milk: Used in spiritual and magical cleansing potions.  Ice: Solid first, then melted for transformation potions. Coffee: Really, a potion in and of itself in my book. Vanilla Extract: In small amounts, used in passion potions. Witch Hazel: Used in communication and cleansing potions.

I rearrange my altar for Aphrodite a few days ago, added some things and shifted some things around and I couldn’t be happier with it.

💕  Little Everyday Aphrodite Spells 💕

Here are a compilation of Aphrodite spells that you can practice almost everyday. I personally find myself doing most of these things out of habit.

I hope you guys enjoy! Criticism is always allowed, and I highly appreciate the notes and likes :P

Also feel free to ask questions, I’m always happy to answer! And if you want me to post about something, let me know.

Ａｐｈｒｏｄｉｔｅ＇ｓ  ｂａｌｍ

This spell is one you make once, and then can use it everyday. Apply it every morning on your wrist, neck, behind your ears, elbows, etc.

Ingredients

💕 1 ½ teaspoons beeswax beads

💕1/4 cup sweet almond oil

💕1 teaspoon vitamin E oil

💕2 drops vanilla oil

💕1 drop rose oil 

💕2 drops jasmine oil

💕Almond oil

💕Sweet orange oil

💕Amber oil

💕A small jar/container to store the balm in

Directions

Melt the bees wax and sweet almond oil in a clean container/can in a sauce pan of water (Half full). Put the heat on medium and let the water melt the oils and wax. Remove the melted ingredients from the heat and with oven mitts remove the container. Now is the time to add in your essential oils and vitamin E oil. Stir in with a popsicle stick. Let the mixture cool slightly, but not enough to harden completely. Now stir again and add to your jar/container and then let harden completely.

Now you can enchant this object and I highly suggest calling upon Aphrodite to bless your creation, although this is completely optional.

When you want to use it, warm the product with your fingertips and scoop enough to apply as you would a solid perfume.

Ｉｍｍａｃｕｌａｔｅ Ｂｅａｕｔｙ Ｓｐｅｌｌ

💕Almond milk or any milk of choice

Heat up milk, then add your hot chocolate mix. Melt your real chocolate, and add vanilla and cinnamon. Let it sit on the heat for a couple more minutes. Pour into a favored mug, or one that is enchanted. Top with anything you’d like.

Ｓｐｅｌｌ ｏｆ Ｓｗｅｅｔ Ｓｐｅｅｃｈ

- A spell to sweeten your voice and words

This is a spell I do every morning when I start my skincare and makeup ritual. I learned it when I first started the craft.

Take your ingredients, enough to coat your lips, and mix them together. Then using your thumb (this represents will power and will boost the spell) smooth the mixture over your lips. Envision what this spell will do for you, and think of your intent in your mind.
