Few herbs are as loved as lavender. Its magical associations are calm, peaceful sleep, love, clarity and cleansing. Tuck dried buds into a dream pillow or a sachet under your pillow, add a bundle to your altar, or burn a little to soften the energy of a room.
Safety: Lavender is toxic to cats, dogs and horses if chewed, and its essential oil is especially risky for cats. Keep dried herbs, resins and smoke away from pets, especially cats and birds.
