Magickal Herbs

 
  This classification is least defined. A magickal herb is one which, well, has magick.  These are the herbs ideally suited for candle magick, spell magick and household magick.  They are ideal for amulets.  They have been used to bring luck, or to attract money, and for other uses outside the realm of religious rites.  It is our belief that any Magickal Herb may be used to enhance the power or magick of your working.  These herbs may be used to strengthen the recipe already in use or may be used to empower your personal goals. But, primarily, a Magickal Herb is used to bring about change. 
  
  What is herb magick anyway?  Herb magick is the use of herbs to empower, alter or manifest an image.  For magick is image and image is magick.  Lighting incense in front of an image of a divinity is herb magick.  Burning a candle coated with oil of bay leaves as you chant a simple rhyme asking the Universe to bring money into your life is herb magick.  Using herbs to treat low self-esteem and empower self-image is a form of herb magick.  Leaving herbs in the form of grains and berries on a flat stone at the edge of the woods in memory of your ancestors, holding their images within your heart, is herb magick. 
  
  When we wish to see an image of reality change, when we see an image of what the future might be and wish to work toward that goal, when we introduce the natural energy and spiritual power of herbs as we clear our minds of extraneous thought and hold the desired image clearly, we are working herb magick.  As a rule of thumb, Magickal Herbs may be considered neutral and available for your usage toward any positive goal.
