Seven Sacred Herbs of the Celts
------------<WBR>------

~ Nuts and Cones: Sacred to the Druids; very magical,
especially in fertility magic. Small cones or acorns were
sometimes used on the tips of wands used by the Celts.

~ Willow: A Druid sacred tree; one of the seven sacred trees of the
Irish.
The willow is a Moon tree sacred to the Goddess. Its grooves were
considered so magical that priests, priestesses and artisans sat
among the trees to gain eloquence, inspiration, skills, and
prophecies.

~ St. John's Worth: A Druid sacred herb. The Celts passed it through
the smoke of the summer solstice fire, and then wore it into battle
for
invincibility. The people of Scotland wore it as a charm against
Faery influence.

~ Mint: A Druid sacred herb. Burning dried mint leaves cleanses the
magical area.

~ Juniper: A druid sacred tree. Its berries were used with thyme in
incenses.

~ Thyme: A Druid sacred herb. Repels negativity and depression.

~ Elder: A Druid sacred tree. Sacred to the Celtic White Lady and
the Summer Solstice. The Druids used it both to bless and curse.
Elder wands drive out evil and negativity. Standing under and elder
tree at Midsummer, like standing in a ring of Faery Mushrooms,
will help you see the Little People.
