Do you use herbs in your practice? Do you grow them or purchase them from someone else?
What are your favorite herbs to work with?
Yes I use herbs.
When I smudge I like to use sage that I planted and harvested myself from my parent's backyard. In fact, as I type, I've got a bunch hanging to dry behind me! This stuff though will probably be used in food, and given away to friends if I can manage it. I slightly harvested more than I know what to do with, even though I still didn't thin out the overgrown sage in my herb patch the way I maybe should have.
I've also got mint hanging up to dry, but I never have actually used it in my practices.
There's also blackberry vine, and as I mentioned a couple days ago is rather special to me. I'll smudge with it if it'll burn (that can be a challenge) and have crumbled the leaves into salt when cleansing. Just tending the vines I've got in my parent's backyard is good for me spiritually, and I guess you could say it's somewhat refreshing. Even more so than gardening with any other plant.
Don't tell me that blackberry isn't an herb. I don't care. :)

Impressive? I didn't think so. I just thought it was fun.
