Herbs For Protection
If you have never used plant matter in magic before, I explain in detail in the column Plants, Herbs and Roots for Prosperity the different ways these substances can be practically used in rituals and everyday practice. In brief, the main methods of using plant material to summon protection are: carrying the substance on your person in a locket or a sachet, boiling the herb and sprinkling the residual water around your residence, putting a sprig of it under your bed or pillow, bathing in a distillation of it or burning it as incense. Also with love attracting, just keeping the living plant in your house can help increase your vibrations. Below I have detailed where an herb can be used for a specific protective purpose. Ague Weed: A bath in this herb is alleged to banish evil spirits. This herb is also known as Boneset. Agrimony: Is burned or sprinkled around the house to send bad spirits back to the sender. Angelica: Worn on the person to protect from evil spirits, however a drawback of this herb is that it also may protect you from opportunities. Used formally in rites of exorcism to get rid of bad spirits. Brew into a tea it and sprinkle in the corners of a house to protect from evil spirits. It is also warn on the person in a locket or sachet for personal protection. Anise: Stuffed under a pillow it protects from nightmares. Ash: The branches can be shaken and rattled like a wand to cleanse a place of bad energy. Asafoetida: Kept in a potpourri or burned for protection. Bergamot: Usually used for money, but some sources say it can be used for personal protection and to attract good spirits as well. Borage: Place in an area that is suspicious it is said to make the truth come out or have dishonesty, plots or secrets revealed. Broom Tops: Boiled in salt water to keep evil spirits and ghosts away. Caraway: Carry the seeds on your person to protect from disease and ill health. A few seeds in the clothing of a loved one are said to protect your marriage from infidelity. Carnations: A bouquet of fresh or dried blossoms is said to protect the home and family from rivals and attackers of all sorts. Camphor: Worn as a balm it is used to ward off physical attack or unwanted advances from others. Cedar: The boughs or incense are burnt to protect the home from spirits. It also protects those in deep meditation or doing rituals from picking up unwanted energies and astral attack. It is toxic to reptiles and birds, however, so you should be careful using it if you have either as pets. Coriander: Burn as an incense or wear the seeds on your person to protect against attack. Helps keep friends and lovers from accidents. Deersbane: Burned to reveal bad energy or tell one the source of bad energy. Dill: Sprinkle in a corner of a children's room to protect them from harm.

For over 4000 years, the Sandalwood tree has played a significant part in Eastern culture as a material for art and artifacts, a medicine, and a divine aroma. Sandalwood products are obtained from the sandalwood tree (Santalum album), which is a member of the Santalaceae family native to southern tropical Asia. It is an evergreen growing to a height of 9 meters, with leathery leaves, long slender brangches, and small purple flowers. The tree also happens to be parasitic, relying on the nutrien-gathering ability of one of several other tree species for its sustenance.
