Please use these herbs in a safe manner. Not all of them can be taken internally, and some are fatal if ingested. I use them in a brazier, as an adjunct to my rituals. Except for those I mentioned, none are to be ingested!!
ALSO:
Please do not use this index in the place of proper medical aid
in the event of illness or injury. I am not a doctor, and I do not prescribe ANYTHING for any specific ailments. Seek medical attention if you need it!!!
STONES:
Please click on the name of each stone to view a picture of it; then click on the back button to return here.. Sorry, but some listings do not have pictures. NOTE: Tripod, my host server, places an advertising window over my pages when you return back. I am going to be rectifying that within the next few weeks, as it is quite annoying, and I apologize for the inconvenience in the meantime. Enjoy!
