I have about 60 different herbs in my herbal cabinet right now — but some of my favorites are mugwort, dragon’s blood (to amplify other herbs) and frankincense and myrrh for rituals and meditation. It’s difficult to pick favorites, though…and of course it depends on the magickal work that I am preparing to decide which herbs will be used. Also, as has been mentioned sea salt is a must for holy water to sprinkle around the sacred circle.

My favorite stones are quartz crystal because of its wide array of uses — and turquoise for some unexplained attraction I have. My totem animal is the owl, so I have several (including my Pentacle of Lilith that I wear *always*; She is my patron Goddess).

I like burrning sage, cinnamon, ginger. My favorite stones are tigers eye, howlite, and hematite. I just got a lapis and I am feeling it out, I also got a sodalite. I am excited for what they will bring. I also got rose quartz, i have those at my bedside.

I make my own kinnikinnik for offerings made from tobacco, cedar, mullein, bearberry and other plants. I use sage to cleanse away negativity and cedar and sweet grass to promote blessings and positive energy.

I resonate with moonstone, hemitite, amethyst, rose quartz, clear quartz, carnelian and lapis lazuli and use them depending on the situation.

I make my own rune stones out of pebbles found along the beaches of the Great Lakes. I love making protective medicine bags out of leather, feathers, bone and stones and fill them with the kinnikinnik I make.

I really like lavender. I find it very soothing and calming.

the nice thing about being an Herbalist AND a Green Witch is knowing that I have a medicine cabinet fully stocked with ALL sorts of herbs. Herbs can be used, internally and externally as medicines, in the form of powders, Teas, tinctures, poultices, ointments, pads, cremes, salves and other ways as direct application to combat illnesses and injuries. The Green Witch side also allows me ALL of the Magickal uses of those same herbs. The herbs with the widest array of healing abilities for ME have been, Yarrow (milfoil), Cinquefoil, dandelion, nettle, jewelweed, and burdock.

As far a stones are concerned, I have foung the manyh forms of quartz to be the most beneficial in lending their enrgies to my workings along with Hematite, Bloodstone, Turquoise, and Lapis.

Woods would be Elder, Apple, Oak, Maple, Ash and, of course, not to forget White and Red Cedar.

Brightest Blessings,
Raji the Green Witch

Magnetic ring + bracelet worn daily, not while sleeping. Garnet, clear quartz, smokey quartz as pendulum, and Hematite in the form of the Runes. The scent of Rose Absolute is heavenly and Patchouli is nice too, Birch does the trick on a sore spot, and Eucalyptus for clear breathing.

Salt…salt…salt everywhere.

I use hematite to keep myself grounded and moonstone for calming/intuition. I carry a small bag with various crystals and herbs and other personal items in my car for protection.

One of my favorite stones is a lithium crystal that I was given as a gift to help with depression and calming. It works and I’m not even going to try to explain how or why.

I also have small bells hanging by doors to clear the air and some “holey stones” I got in Ireland and England for protection that I hang near windows.
