Herbalism

Herbalism is probably one of the most well-rounded magical arts used today.  Native Americans, Shamans, Pagans, and even every day people use herbs to help with healing, sores, illness, love, relaxation, serenity, etc... I went out and bought a bunch of herbs last summer so that I would have them around the house in case I want to use them.  I found myself using them for many different purposes. I use Lavendar to help me sleep by putting some under my pillow. I use Elder Berries to hang over my door to help keep evil out of the house. I use Dragons Blood in doorways to keep evil from going in and out of places. I use lots of different teas for different things.. To sleep I use Good Earth, Good Night and Sweet Dreams.  To wake up of course I use Liptons Caffeinated LOL  And there are many other types that I use sometimes... like Earl Grey, Cinnamon Apple, Ginseng, and tons of others!  I have a whole cabinet full of tea! Sometimes I will make friends little pouches with herbs in them to keep them happy and in high spirits.  Things like Frankincense, Myrhh, Lavendar, Rose Petals, and more that I simply cannot remember right now!  hmm.. bad memory strikes again lol Herbs are simply great for everything.  They are helpful beyond belief!  I suggest anyone getting into the art of herbalism!  ~Velvet~

Just as a small side note.. it was pointed out to me today that I spell lavendar wrong and that it should be spelled lavender.. so please forgive me of my own little idiosyncrises.  I do try to spell well.. but sometimes... I just like spelling words wrong... so go Lavendar LOL
