Basil in Everyday Magic
Basil is often associated with prosperity, protection, love and a clear, welcoming home. Keep the practice simple: choose an intention, use a safe preparation and do not pretend common sense has left the building.
Ways to Work With a Tincture
Use a tincture as a symbolic ingredient in a ritual, to dress a petition paper or to scent a wash where appropriate. Follow the maker’s directions and never ingest a preparation unless it is clearly made and labelled for that purpose.
Keep Herb Magic Practical
Basil works beautifully alongside ordinary kitchen magic: cook with it, grow it, dry it and use its familiar scent to mark a fresh start in the home.
Keep It Practical
Use what you have, make it fit your actual life and let the ordinary care of your home be part of the magic.
