Allan : nty
Mysti : ok.. herbal magick has been around for centuries
Mysti : it is basically the use of plants to help heal ourselves or do our bidding in some way
Mysti : the original usage was purely medicinal
Mysti : but then we learned that certian plant energies will also help w/ other types of workings
Mysti : plants can be used for many things
Mysti : oils, sashete's
Mysti : teas, poltuces
Mysti : wine
Mysti : just bout anything u can think of
Mysti : some plants are baineful
Mysti : this means they are poisonus and should be used w/ caution
Mysti : so if i am speaking and i say .. that the plant is a baineful herb u know to use caution when working w/ them
Mysti : has anyone heard of "witches' flying ointment"?
Nova : no
EternalLighthouse : vaguely
DraconicKnight : no
Flutterby : no sorry
EternalLighthouse : it rings a bell
Mysti : flying ointment was made in the dark ages to help w/ seeing
Mysti : it is a hallacinagin sp?
Mysti : it was made w/ a combo of lard and several baineful herbs
Mysti : in moderated amounts
Mysti : and spread on the bare skin
Mysti : caused quite a trip
Mysti : unfortunately, many still try to duplicate it today
Mysti : with disasterous results
Mysti : another caution i want to put forth
Mysti : when u begin working w/ herbs
Mysti : you need to really understand them.
Mysti : to do this there are several books available
Mysti : Llewellyn puts out an herbal almanac every year
Mysti : that only costs bout 7 to 10 bux
4Zephryus has left the conversation.
Mysti : there are also herbal books by many authors
Mysti : i happen to have several.. my favorites are by scott cunningham
Mysti : so if u are going to work w/ them.. get the info on them before u touch them
Mysti : herbs are usually classified in three catagories
Mysti : warm, cool, and baineful
Mysti : warm herbs are things that will invigorate you ... thinks like pepper and cinnimon
Mysti : things*
Mysti : cool ones are relaxing.. mint, lavendar, rose

Mysti : u can also use them in sashets
Mysti : these are especially good if you are dealing w/ dreams
DraconicKnight : BREAK
Mysti : yes dk?
DraconicKnight : how so?
Mysti : they can either chase away dreams
Mysti : or bring on clairvoyant dreams
DraconicKnight : oh okay ty
Mysti : mugwart (baineful) pillow.. will bring on clairvoyant dreams
Mysti : u sew it into a pillow that wont allow the herb to touch u
Mysti : but the scent will allow u to see
Mysti : lavendar and rose pillows chaise away nightmares
Mysti : if you cannot breathe.. mint and eukalyptis pillows open up ur sinuses
Mysti : etc..

Flutterby : no ty!
Allan : nty

Mysti : if you are annointing a candle to give it more umph..
Mysti : rubbing up and clockwise w/ ur herb or oil is an envoking motion
Mysti : rubbing down and counter clockwise is a banishing motion
Mysti : for some reason needed to put that in.. i dunno why .. totally off topic
Mysti :
Mysti : now if there are no questions on that section i will move onto stones
Allan : nty
Mysti : oks
Mysti : i myself love stones...
Flutterby : ok
DraconicKnight :
Mysti : i have my feet resting on a huge one at the moment

Mysti : it grounds my energy and even gives me some if i need it
Mysti : wonderful things stones are
Mysti : i used to work only w/ simi precious ones
Mysti : then i realized.. tho they have their uses

4spiritofthelynx has joined the conversation.
Mysti : hugss sissy welcome
Mysti : my brother shaman taught me this
spiritofthelynx : hi all ty
Mysti : u dont need to spend all kinds of money on a semi precious stone if you dont have it
Mysti : all u need do is go for a walk
Mysti : w/ the intent in ur mind
Mysti : and put out the request for what you need
Mysti : a stone will offer itself for your need
Mysti : that is a very simple lesson in earth magick
Mysti : but u must remember that when ur purpose is done w/ that stone that you must return it to the earth
Mysti : so that it can renew itself
Mysti : ?s or comments on this?
EternalLighthouse : no ty
DraconicKnight : nty
Allan : nty
spiritofthelynx : nty
Flutterby : none ty
Nova : nty
Mysti : ok there are many uses for semi precious stones
Mysti : crystals are the most widely used
Mysti : clarity and cleansing are the two most common uses for them
Mysti : i use them to store energy too.. and to hold the gateways of home shielding
Mysti : but .. like i said regular stones can work the same way
Mysti : sometimes i feel that they are more close to the earth
Mysti : then the ones who have been forceably taken because they are pretty
Mysti : those can be tempermental and sometimes not willing to help... like a couple of tiger's eye i know that a couple friends own
Mysti : if you want to learn more about semi precious stones... as i am not going to start listing them.. but if you have one that you are not sure of .. or have a working to do i will be glad to look up for you ..
Mysti : is to buy a semi precious stone book as a referance
Mysti : the one i own is called "Love is in the Earth"
Mysti : isbn#
Mysti : O-9628190-3-4
Mysti : its a great referance
Mysti : one thing i want to put out
Mysti : when using anything coming from the earth
Mysti : it is not good to assume it will help you just because u harvest it .. or pick it up
Mysti : it is a living thing from the mother
Mysti : and permission must be attained
Mysti : this can be done by simply taking a walk..
Mysti : w/ meditative awareness
Mysti : always leave an offering for the area around where you have harvested
Mysti : this could be for the animals.. or even some plant food for the surrounding plants
Mysti : we are very much apart of things.. and when we take we must also give back
Mysti : it keeps the ballance.
Mysti : any ?s
