There are several herbs I am very fond of.
Hibiscus and Rose are two plants that I connect strongly with. I've been growing roses for a couple of years, and the wand I recently made was cut from my red rose bush (it died in an ice storm this winter
![Sad :-(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
). Hibiscus is a flower I've had little contact with, but which I get great vibrations from every time. I have a small bag of dried hibiscus flowers, and I occasionally scatter them on my alter when I'm scrying or preparing for sex magick.
Lavender is another flower/herb I love. I don't know why, but every time I touch or even just
see it I literally become excited. (Happy, energized excited, not sexually excited) It always makes me grin for some reason, even though it's suppose to help you relax. Anytime I'm around it I just can't keep myself from touching it, lol! I use it in almost all my amulets, and I often handle it before doing rituals.
I also like Dragon's Blood. It makes me feel simultaneously calm and powerful. I carry it when I'm worried about my self-control.
