Sleep Spell

Ah, sleep.  Something that every parent wants and children think they can do without.  We aren't talking about just any sleep spell, though.  We want one for babies and toddlers.  Why?

I'll tell you why.

I love being with my daughter.  She's fun.  I like spending time with her when she is up for 4 and half hours in the middle of the night, but I like sleep more at that point.  Babies need their sleep too.

So, what do you need for a sleep spell for children and babies?  Well, of course the choking hazard for small children will always come into account.

You'll need:

A small purple fabric bag, preferably velvet but any fabric will do
An amethyst
A lock of the child's hair
Tape


Wrap the hair around the amethyst and say:

Close your eyes and drift to sleep;
While across the sky the moon does sweep.


Place the hair wrapped amethyst in the bag, and tape the bag to the underside of the bed or crib, about where their head usually lay.  This eliminates the choking hazard of placing it under a pillow.

Now you just have to enjoy the sleep!  You can easily do this spell for yourself as well, just use a lock of your own hair and you don't have to use the bag at all.  Chances are you won't try to swallow your amethyst.  This should be renewed about once a month.

Now, I'm going to try and nap.
