Well, it's been awhile since I have been able to post, but life just keeps getting in the way! Let's start off with the herb lore today, there will be quite a bit - just to make up for lost time!


Cascara Sagrada:
Especially good for legal matters, money spells and protection against hexes. Sprinkle an infusion of the herb around the home the night before court proceedings to help in winning a court case. Wear as an amulet for protection against evil and hexes. Keep in a bowl on your altar or near where you meditate to help you concentrate. I find this to be good for just about any instance where a battle is to be waged and won
Also Called: Cascara Sagada, Sacred Bark, Purshiana Bark, Persian Bark, Chittem Bark, Bearberry


Celandine:
Cures depression, brings victory and joy, assists in legal matters. Serves as a protective ward when worn. Carry to increase self-confidence when facing adversaries. Use in ritual work when you feel trapped in undue negativity. Note: Deadly poison, use with caution.
Also Called: Devil's Milk


Celery:
Mental and psychic powers, concentration. Burn with orris root to increase psychic powers. Use in sleep pillow to induce sleep. Chew celery seed to aid in concentration.


Chamomille:
Love, healing, and reducing stress. Add to a sachet or spell to increase the chances of its success. Sprinkle an infusion of chamomile around the house to remove hexes, curses and spells. Burn or add to prosperity bags to increase money. Burn as incense for de-stressing, meditation, and restful sleep. Wash hands in an infusion of chamomile for luck before gambling or playing cards. Use in bath magic to attract love. Keep a packet of the herb with lottery tickets for luck. For all the other things this is good for, I find it's calming and de-stressing qualities (when served as a tea), the most valuable!


Chickweed:
Fertility and love. Carry or use to attract a lover or maintain your current relationship. Useful for lunar and animal magic, especially the healing of birds.
Also Called: Starweed, Satin Flower, Starwort, Winterweed, Stitchwort, Tongue Grass, Adder's Mouth, Indian Chickweed, Passerina


Chicory:
Frigidity, favors, removing obstacles, and invisibility. Promotes a positive outlook and improves sense of humor. Place fresh flowers on the altar or burn as an incense. Anoint your body with chicory juice or an infusion of chicory to obtain favors from others. But my absolute favorite use for this root is in my coffee every morning! Just add about a tablespoon ground root to your coffee pot for a strong, but smooth and rich flavor!
Also Called: Blue-Sailors, Coffeeweed, Succory


Chrysanthemum:
Protection. Grow in the garden to ward off evil spirits.
Also Called: Mum


Well, That's all right now, I have things to prepare for this morning. I will try to post more later.Be Blessed throughout this, and all others, day.
