Yeah, it has been dead for a while. Some of the more knowledgeable and voluable posters seem to have fallen into The Abyss and been devoured by Choronzon or something. Part of the "problem" with people wanting to post may be that <1> we're supposed to be talking about *legal* herbs, which leaves out several of the more popular, easily obtainable variety commonly used in ritual, and <2> we're spozed to be discussing the *magical* uses thereof, and lots of folks don't use plants in ritual, through ignorance, fear, or simple matter of preference. I'm fairly ignorant myself...having read thru the older messages in the base, there used to be some folks who were practically walking pharmaceutical encyclopedias! Dummies like me are probably too intimidated to post. Maybe you could help educate us? Do you use herbs in ritual yourself? To what end? Which ones? With what sort of results? Do you gather/grow your own plants? Tips in that regard you'd care to share? Uhmm...well, I think that's enuff outa me for now...ttyl! ;> Love is the law, love under will. 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Ed Collins Area: Magical Plants To: Rose Dawn 1 Jun 95 23:26:18 Subject: Re: HELLO?

Really? Oops.. I didn't realize this was just for the discussion of legal herbs for magickal purposes ONLY.. :( > intimidated to post. Maybe you could help educate us?

Uhmm...well, I think that's enuff outa me for > now...ttyl! ;> Well, I will answer these. 1) I could help educate you, though not through magickal was. 2) no.. I'm not really into magick. 3) .. 4)... (5)... 6) Yes, I gather and grow herbs.. quite a bit actually.. 7) Yes, pick only that which you know is what you seek I thought this could also be a sub for legal use of herbs that calm you down, make you see funky colors, etc.. if you catch my drift. ah well. -Ed 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718
