There are many herbs that can be used for magickal purposes; I've elected to list only those that could be found in an ordinary kitchen or can be easily found at a grocery store or nursery. I live in an apartment, but I was able to make a small herb garden that sits outside on my balcony. Herbs are wonderful for magick - they can be burned or tied up in sachets or made into amulets to wear.
