the feast of St. Michael, and thus was given into the care of the angels.

In India, the herb is dedicated to Vishnu and is given to the dead to help ensure their
entrance to the afterlife. As a medicinal herb it is good as a tea for calming the nerves,
settling the stomach, and easing cramps. In tincture form, it also makes good hair rinse for brunettes.

to treat wounds. However, it is best suited to making dyes for cloth from its deep red sap.

sixth centuries. It has a mild antiseptic quality for toothaches, or in tea form it is an expectorant

because of its pungent nature.

longevity and love, security.

to protect them from trolls. Generally speaking, having garlic in your diet serves to lower

a knight would offer his lady a bit of this tree with a pink ribbon tied to it as a token that he
would live, hoping for his return to her. In Christianity it is believed that the crown of thorns
was made out of hawthorn. The therapeutic properties of this tree are no less magnificent.
It is a great regulator of blood pressure and has excellent sedative effects.

color butter, and as a hair rinse.

and joy during life, therefore it appeared in almost every ceremony in between! Besides its
more popular use in meats and sauces, rosemary promotes healing of wounds, acts as an
antiseptic, and can be a mild stimulant. Because of this it is a good ingredient for teas treating
flu, stress, and headaches. When leaves are soaked in wine for two weeks, small glasses
may be taken as a digestive aid. Oil of rosemary is excellent in hair conditioners, and the
flowers of this herb may be added to lotion recipes to improve the complexion.

by the wee folk! For magic, St John's Wort is best cultivated during midsummer celebrations.

medicinally today due to negative side effects; however, the tops may be used for an
excellent yellow dye.

other skin irritations.

HERBAL INFUSED OIL QUICK METHOD
2 - 3 oz. dried herbs or 3 - 4 oz. fresh
1 1/4 cups unblended vegetable oil (preferably sunflower or olive)
A heat-proof container with a tight-fitting lid (jam jars work well)
Chop the herb and put it in the container with all the oil. Put the container in a pan filled
with water to within 1 inch of the top of the container of oil. Simmer slowly for 2 hours.
After 2 hours, allow the oil to cool, and strain well. Discard the spent herbs (makes lovely
compost). Refill the canister with the remaining herbs and return to the water bath (remember
to replace the lid). Simmer for another 2 hours.
Be sure to check the water level occasionally so as to not burn the oil.
When the oil has cooled enough to work with, pour it through a jelly bag or sieve lined with
cheesecloth. If using fresh herbs, there may be a watery liquid at the bottom of the oil.
This must be separated and discarded, or else it will spoil the oil over time.
This oil can be used as a base for ointments, creams, or salves, or as a massage oil.
