Product Information

Use in Magic: To attract men and to cause them to love you. Large, 2" - 4" long, used on the altar or as a pendulum for divination. Just outside your doorstep or kitchen window, hidden beneath a tall pine tree or twining through porch latticework, a wild and weedy apothecary waits to be discovered. In my opinion, however, laurel is best used in spells to promote the success and success of our desire. It is a plant linked to victory, in physical and economic terms. If I had to describe the laurel with an image, I would surely associate it with an arrow: precise, well-calibrated, which reaches the target without too many frills. Ginger

Sexuality There are some great nods to the historical use of floriography (using flowers to send secret messages), plant intelligence, and old, alternative names for some herbs (e.g. “eye of newt” being mustard seeds). I liked the brief introductions to spell jars, kitchen magic, poppets and worry dolls, brews and teas, and altars. I found the Goddess section to be quite hit and miss; some of the information given was good, whereas in other places it was incorrect — and why just Goddesses? There’s no mention of any Gods.

The resins with which you prepare incense. The herbs you use during a spell or a ritual. The candles you light and the oils you sprinkle them with. I think it’s worth noting that the author takes the stance of ‘do no harm’ when using herbs in your craft. I also follow this Wiccan and Witchcraft law, but I know there are Witches out there that don’t follow the Wiccan Rede or Three Fold Law. It doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy the book, just know that it reflects the author's personal values. Saying that, she also discusses being respectful in terms of using herbs which is something that everyone needs to be aware of when using things from nature in their craft. It's important to make sure your practice is sustainable, especially when it comes to harvesting and using herbs. A poppet is made of fabric and filled with the appropriate herbs for your intention. To make your own poppet you need some sewing skills. Alternatively, you can buy it already made from a specialized store or e-shop and just fill it with the proper herbs. There is a misconception, due to “Hollywood magic”, that poppets are used to harm or manipulate others. This is not true, on the contrary, poppets are great for protective and healing spells and work best if you use it on yourself. Of course, you can use them for any kind of positive purpose.

Use in Magic: Comforts those who have lost in love, encourages the reconciliation of estranged lovers.Herbs are one of the most important tools for natural magic, and the best introduction to this system is found in Scott Cunningham’s Magical Herbalism. This woman really gives off maternal, loving, healing energy and her books are informative and so interesting. Plant and herbs have a soul, needs, and energy so it’s important for you to truly respect that while becoming aware of their properties, their magic, and potential abilities. Remember that in Magic everything is an exchange: energy is not created and cannot be destroyed. To get something from it, you will need to be able to give it the same. Use in Magic: To break curses, hexes, or jinxes that have been cast upon you; to ward off the Evil Eye.
