dom: “use your words”

Lapiscat’s herbal 101   

I promised it, and finally, here it is. Feel free to submit any questions to my asks!! Since i know some people don’t agree with the use of “dark” magic… I include these intentions for the people who do, and no hate will be tolerated at all. you will be bLoCkEd girl. Not on my blog, not today.

 I’ve gathered this information over some time, and like on my songs&chants post, if you’d like to know the details on an exact source ask/message me! I’ll look through my books and let you know within 1-2 days. 

this is gonna be a long one its like 3 pages from my grimoire. DISCLAIMER; This is all information i have personally collected over time from studies and personal experience. it is by no means complete, there are many correspondences to each plant.
