I would like to know more information on herbal lore, I find it quite interesting. Although I am an air sign, I have an attraction to stone/gem magick and also with plants and herb lore. I know very little of this one even though I have bought several books which I have every intention of reading....sometime. Does anyone else have no desire to read for enjoyment once classes have begun? I will force myself to read some, I really do need to become more knowledgable in all these areas.
So if anyone has any useful information, I would be glad to absorb this info.

If you need some basic herbs, a good collection includes sage, thyme, bay leaves, basil, tarragon, marjoram, mint, and rosemary. Moura is the author for herbal books, although with herbalism it's almost less a "read me" book and more a reference book, usually. Chamomile is a base for most teas, rose hips are also used, but mostly for teas concerning love, including self love; herbs for balance include basil, chamomile, comfrey, mullien, nettle, and woodruff, to name a few; for energy collect fennel, vervain, and woodruff....oh herbalism has soooo many ingredients. that's why I'm a crystal worker.  |

But you know me, I like things that are complicated, when they are simple I try to complicate them anyway, lol. Stones are fun too, but herbs are more mind consuming,  |

Well...technically we all dream every night, its just a matter of remembering them.
If you just want to dream, then I suggest eating something irritating before bed. The indigestion will keep you in a state that will allow you to remember your dreams.

Well...technically we all dream every night, its just a matter of remembering them. If you just want to dream, then I suggest eating something irritating before bed. The indigestion will keep you in a state that will allow you to remember your dreams. The master of google has possibly found other useful crap. Onion -- Protection, Exorcism, Healing, Money, Prophetic Dreams, Lust. Extracted From: green tops, bulb. Aromatherapy Use: Immune booster. Aromatherapy Properties: cuts and abrasions. Mugwort -- Strength, Psychic Powers, Protection, Prophetic Dreams, Healing, Astral Projection. Awakens one to the psychic energies around and within them. Facilitates astral travel and dream interpretation. Opens and purifies circulatory channels. Strengthens the uterus and eases painful menstrual cramping. Excellent for strengthening the life-force in the fetus. Some say *Not for use during pregnancy*. Mistletoe....Protection, Love, Hunting, Fertility, Health, Exorcism. Long used for protection against lightning, disease, misfortune of every kind, fires and so on, it is carried or placed in an appropriate spot for these uses. The leaves and berries are used. Mistletoe is placed in cradles to protect children from being stolen by fairies and replaced with changelings. A ring carved of mistletoe wood will ward off sicknesses when worn and the plant will cure fresh wounds quickly when carried (do not apply to the wound). Mistletoe is also carried or worn for good luck in hunting, and women carry the herb to aid in conception. It has also been utilized in spells designed to capture that elusive state of immortality, and to open locks. Laid near the bedroom door, mistletoe gives restful sleep and beautiful dreams, as it does when placed beneath the pillow or hung at the headboard. Kiss your love beneath mistletoe and you'll stay in love. Burned, mistletoe banishes evil. Wear it around your neck to attain invisibility. Mistletoe is an all-purpose herb. Mimosa -- Protection, Love, Prophetic Dreams, Purification. Aromatherapy Use: Promotes psychic dreams. Marigold....Protection, Prophetic Dreams, Legal Matters, Psychic Powers Jasmine....Love, Money, Prophetic Dreams. Good luck in love and wealth. Aphrodisiac. Alleviates depression, and tension.

Aromatherapy Use: Promotes love, sex and sleep. Huckleberry....Luck, Protection, Dream Magic, Hex Breaking Honeysuckle....Money, Psychic Powers, Protection. Strengthens the mind and memory.

Smelled, it compels one toward sleep, and placed beneath the pillow it sometimes offers one glimpses of the future in dreams. It is rubbed against furniture, walls and floorboards to cleanse them of evil and negativity. Pliny stated that peppermint excites love, and so can be added to this type of mixture. Scent: Minty; Extracted From: Leaves. Aromatherapy Use: Sharpens the conscious mind. Aromatherapy Properties: gas, sore throat, digestive tract problems, stomach ulcers, nausea. |
