These are herbs which have been used in religious ceremony or which may be used in the practice of one’s religion.  Religious Herbs include those held sacred to a divinity, those which are associated with a religious holiday or sabbat.  They are used as part of the observance of religious holidays or are integral to the religious beliefs (such as creation myths) of one or more religious traditions. 
  
  Religious Herbs are those considered sacred by at least one culture or religion. Many of these herbs were associated with the deities of a particular religion.  Many were sacrificed as offerings to those deities or burned as incense.  Some have been used to bathe icons of the divine, others used when initiating someone through a rite of passage.  These of herbs in religious rites is a universal activity, the sole exception being some of the more recently developed Christian sects which disdain anything other then the bible.
  
  An herb given the classification of Religious Herb is one whose spiritual being has been recognized, and herb which has been honored and which we believe continues to merit this special attention.  It is believed that herbs do not align themselves with any denomination, not even the Wiccan faith, and that an herb recognized as having religious significance by one people may readily be used by any other so long as they work to maintain the nature of the spiritual identity of the herb in a respectful manner.
