Post any herbs ( do not make huge lists please, this is a whole coven exercise) with their magical properties and places to find them. This will benefit in spell casting immensely, as well as give some members the oppertunity to research herbs that have. Not been mentioned.
P.s do not repeat a herb already described and do not discuss properties. Open another thread for that :)
Blessed be

Lavender
Description: Purple flowers
Uses: Lavender is a calming heard. It is often used to make "study tea" which is an herbal infusion that helps you calm yourself and focus. It has been used magickally as an anointing oil. It's been used in love spells for centuries and it is a very resourceful herb.
Romans, Celtics, and Germans believed that mistletoe is the key to the supernatural. Mistletoe will aid and strengthen all magical works but is best called upon for healing, protection, and beautiful dreams - dreams which will unlock the secrets of immortality. Mistletoe is a good wood to use for making wands, other ritual tools and magical rings.
The Berries are used in love incenses, plus a few berries can be added to the ritual cup at a hand-fasting. Boughs of Mistletoe can be hung for all purpose protection around the house. Sprigs of Mistletoe can be carried as an herb of protection - plus amulets and jewelry can be made out of Mistletoe wood as protective talismans.
Hung over the cradle, Mistletoe will protect the child from being stolen by the fey and Mistletoe that is carried will protect the bearer from werewolves. Mistletoe stood for sex and fertility - hence our tradition of kissing under the mistletoe. It is traditionally hung in the home at Yule, and those who walk under it exchange a kiss of peace.

Mugwort- promotes vivid, lucid, and prophetic dreams. It can be drunk as a tea, or smoked before bedtime to bring the dream effects.
