Herbal magic is a wonderful way to learn about herbs and their properties. Here are some herbs that I have used through the years. There are many places on the web to buy fresh herbs and plants.
**Before you begin – make sure you are not allergic or sensitive to any of the herbs**
If you live with any animals – check with your vet to make sure that what you plant is not toxic to your furry friend(s).
Money and Prosperity
Benzoin – Burn with cinnamon for business success.
Bryony – Use the root and set it on a piece of money to watch your riches grow.
Cinquefoil – A great all-purpose herb. Make a prosperity sachet by mixing together equal parts of cinquefoil, cinnamon, cloves, lemon balm, and add a whole vanilla or Tonka bean. Do this on a Thursday after sunset during the Waxing Moon. Sew up into a rich purple cloth bag and carry it with you.
