I love Basil. In fact, it was the first herb I ever grew! And GROW it did! My first Basil plant grew taller than me. It was so wonderful to go outside every morning and see it thrive and shoot up little by little. Because of this personal experience with the herb, I find that even to this day it is favorite herb to plant and keep in my garden.
Basil is versatile in both the kitchen and the cauldron! (See what I did there).
In the kitchen, basil is often added to Mediterranean and Greek dishes. It has a very green taste that is best enjoyed fresh, in my opinion, but can be used dried. I like to add it to my pasta sauce; both tomato and cream based. And have you ever had a fresh basil pesto? It is TO DIE FOR!
But Basil is so much more than a garden herb you can add to your dishes.
Basil holds great Magic!
You can use basil to draw prosperity into the home by hanging a bundle near your door. The scent is also very refreshing while drying in a bundle. The bright green color of the herb helps draw in the abundance.
As a kitchen witch, one of my favorite recipes is my PROSPERITY PIN WHEELS! They're just little pin wheels that I've sprinkled with dill to bring in that money making energy.
Basil oil can be added to prosperity satchels, oil blends, and protection wards. You can even add a little bit of it to a soapy bowl and wash the door down with this magical blend to draw luck and prosperity into the home... As well as up your protection wards!
The oil is often used in aromatherapy for stress and headache relief. It also helps soothe aching muscles.
The herb itself can be taken orally in ta tea or tincture form to aid with digestion, stomach cramps, and relaxation.
As a Kitchen Witch, Basil is an herb that I use quite often.
Do you use Basil often? Are you going to start?
