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: Safe in culinary amounts (small). Very large doses are toxic and were used as an abortifacient historically. Never consume large quantities.
