HERBS

Herbs can be used in many different ways. They are very useful in pouches, sachets, pillows and baths. They are also used as incense, which should be burned on charcoal blocks or made into oils, and as teas. Be cautious with the herbs you choose for teas, for some may be poisonous. Herbs may also be used with your candles by rolling your candle in the appropriate herb after anointing candle with oil. Finally, the use of herbs in poppets is very popular. There are many other uses of herbs to help you along in your magical endeavors. A link may be made for these uses at a later date, for now I would like to give you a very improvised list of herbs and their magical intentions. To see a longer version of this list please check out Scott Cunningham's book, "Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs."An extremely informative book for the experienced and the beginner and I recommend it for everyone to keep as a reference book.
