It draws upon anthropology, history, art history, classics, ethnology, geography, geology,linguistics, physics, information sciences, chemistry, statistics, paleoecology, paleontology, paleozoology, paleoethnobotany, and paleobotany.
Contents: Ritual Offering Herbs |
Ritual Offering Herbs:Herbs may be used as tokens of esteem and respect for the deities and energies of the Craft.The Goddess maybe honored by herbal offerings at those phases of the moon in which her identity is that of maiden,mother,or crone.The act of dropping the herbs into the flame brings the focus of the ritual to the altar and stimulates the intimate bond between the Witch and the greater diety aspect.As plants of various kinds have customarily been offered to the Lady,herbal offerings can be especially meaningful for their particular significance and properties.For example,during the eight Sabbat Rituals,some herbs are burned and others are used as altar offerings and decorations or hung about the ritual area.
