Spellcasting ingredients and herbs etc but not for consumption.

I don't know if this is the right place or if people here will be interested or have knowledge I am looking for.



So basically a couple of yrs ago I did some spell casting. And someone told me that using herbs or substances in the spell helped..(But not consuming them) .. so i tried dragon's blood powder and sometimes things like chocolate or alchohol.

Dragon's blood powder or DBP is supposed to give the spell a boost of energy. Lavender would be spells for dreams or if you wanted mental acuity or a spell to do with a legal issue.

I used a spell with alchohol once and WOAH.. results within 24 hrs. In Irish traditions people use alchohol a lot in spells.

Also we use nettle and nettle water to ward off things or cleanse an area.

I have to say the time i used alchohol once worked so well .. it almost scared me and I stopped using chemicals and herbs in spells.

But I want to incorporate it again.

If you want money to come to you .. you get Irish moss or dulaman and add alchohol

I don't why they use drugs and alchohol a lot but they do.

So there is a medieval Irish manuscript called the Brethe Dían Chécht which means Judgments of Dian Cécht the Dian Cecht is the physician of the Tuatha De Danann of Ireland. Which are our ancestor Gods. And its about laws and judgements regarding injury. But in it are a lot of medical texts also and treatments or charms attributed to the Dian Cecht.

The Brethe Dían Checht is a 15th-century manuscript written by Donnchadh Ó Bolgaidhe, a member of a Leinster-based medical family, possibly around 1466–1475. At that time in Irish culture it was common for Physicians to be healers surgeons and also lawyers all at once.

It contains a mixture of legal, medical, and mythological material, such as the "Twelve Doors of the Soul"

The text is often studied alongside Bretha Crólige ("Judgments of Sick-Maintenance") and is essential for understanding pre-Norman Irish medicine and law. Old Ireland had socialized medicine and laws regarding how everyone was to be treated when they got sick even down to what they would be fed at what time of year.

Also there is the Brethe Eitgid The Bretha Étgid states that a woman with cravings is not legally liable for stealing some limited amount of food (with different limits, depending on whether it is stolen from a stranger or her husband); that it is an offense for the husband not to satisfy his wife's cravings; and that it is an offence for the wife not to tell her husband of her cravings. The justification given for these rules is that denial of food could harm the foetus.

Some people in Ireland say Dian Checht is the god of healing and surgeries. Basically and he is associated with a lot of herbal remedies.

Anyway what traditions do you follow and have you had any experiences?
