Well, my week has been busy with preparation-type tasks (rather appropriate for this cycle of the moon). I have been working on medallions to sell at festivals, herbal charms and blessing balls, etc. Also some clearing energies towards the Blue Moon candles I am making to be used on the Blue Moon (May 31). Still have a lot of work to go, busy, busy, busy - so I'll just put up the herbal lore for the day and sign off.

Acacia:
Protection, psychic and spiritual enhancement, money, platonic love, and friendship. Can be used to anoint candles & censers and to consecrate chests or boxes that hold ritual tools. Use in incense to promote a meditative state.
I like to use it with Frankincense and Myrrh resins for a general enhancement incense before having guests - especially if it's a mixed interest group.

Adder's Tongue:
Stops gossip and slander, promotes healing. Sacred to serpent goddesses. Used in divination, healing magic, lunar magic, and dream magic.
Also Called: Dogtooth Violet
Especially good for healing a friendship gone awry!


That's it for now. May the Spirits of the Universe bless you and yours!
