​Magickal Herbs

Picture
Every herb has its own magickal properties, the following is a basic list of the magickal herbs that we use.
This list is by no means complete as every single plant on this planet offers a unique magickal energy and can potentially be used in energy work.
​Most of the ones we use are readily available in the southern hemisphere, even in your pantry, we use them in incenses, edible ones in teas and tinctures & others unsafe for ingesting or with potential absorption through the skin as energetic conduits to assist during rituals and spells.
