herbs that are useful to me

Desert Sage: This is one of the most sacred herbs among Native Americans. It is often used to purify the mind and body and spirit before prayer, meditation, ritual or ceremony. It is also used to purify and dedicate new items that come into your life or in cleansing new land or a new home.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon is used for courage, success, power and energy, and spiritual development. Negative cicumstances and things that drain the spirit of energy also weaken the minds ability to cope with stressors and the eomtions ability to cope with the new stress that enters our day to day lives. It also weakens our bodies immune system so that we are unable to fight off infection, so replacing the energy is vital to the spirit and physical man.

Cloves: The aroma of cloves is physically stimulating. It brings confidence in money and all competitions, protection, gains and rewards. Not all accomplishments and gains will be monetary, nor should they be. Feeding the inner man with a feeling of wholeness and solidarity can help overcome many adversities and that is priceless in its worth.

Sweet Grass: This is another very sacred herb among many tribes. It is useful for self clensing and purification. It is often used with sage to dedicate sacred objects and purify new dwellings. Unfortunately, this is one herb I cannot use due to allergies.
