Waters of the Hedge

To bathe the skin before confrontation with infectious forces, or for surrounding any hallowed plot with its warding, gather fresh leaves of the Hollen Genius in any quantity and cute finely. Let half of these be boiled, the water reduced in volume by half, then removed from the fire. Let the remaining leaves steep [within it] for several hours, then filter, reserving the liquid for use when cool.
