Ritual Guide
Burn the herb as incense while placing the tarot card on your altar. Visualize flames of transformation for 10 minutes, channeling the herb's smoke to carry your intention upward.
⚠️ Safety: Seeds are safe and nutritious. Flaxseed oil goes rancid quickly. Whole seeds should be ground to absorb nutrients.
