Herbal Correspondences


This is a selection of magical properties associated
with a selection of herbs. I think it is important to be clear 
that correspondences work as a guide rather than a mandatory instruction manual. Use them by all means but remember it is the intention of the witch that does the work...




Disclaimer - the definition of "Baneful" herb is one that causes death. I would therefore suggest only an                                                                                                                                         experienced person with a good knowledge of herbs uses these herbs. None of the baneful herbs are suitable to ingest and several are unsuitable to handle without gloves.
