Rituals and Spells: Pomanders 

Pomanders can be used as a protection charm or for decoration
Supplies needed:
Fruit selected for base
Whole Cloves
1 Tablespoon EACH ground Cloves, Cinnamon, Ginger, and Nutmeg
1 Tablespoon powdered Orris Root
satin ribbon

1. Mix the spices and orris root together in large bowl. This mixture
will help your pomander dry
and increase its fragrance. It will also help to preserve the
pomander.
2. Select firm, ripe fruit with no blemishes.
3. Use a skewer of some sort to poke holes in the fruit.
4. Push the stem of the clove into the fruit.
5. Place the cloves close together on the fruit. This is a slow, but
pleasant process. Try to complete
each fruit in one session.
6. When the orange or apple is completely covered with cloves, roll
it in the spice and orris root
mixture.
7. Leave it in the spices.
8. Put the fruit and spices in a cool, dark place.
9. Roll the fruit in the spices every day, until fruit is dry.
After the pomanders are completely dry, tie a bright ribbon around
them and place in a bowl. You
can also run a ribbon through the pomanders and use ribbon to hang in
closets or in a room. These
will last indefinitely.
