Magical Uses of Herbs Herbs have been used for centuries in magical practices due to their potent energies and natural properties. These plants are believed to hold magical powers and can be used for various purposes, such as protection, healing, divination, and purification. Many different herbs are used in different cultures and traditions, each with its own unique magical properties. Protection: Some herbs are believed to possess protective energies and can be used to ward off negative energies and evil spirits. Basil, for example, is commonly used for protection and can be placed in a sachet or hung in doorways to keep negative entities at bay. Rosemary is also used for protection and can be burned or worn as a protective amulet.

I’ve been (unfortunately far too slowly – sorry H) been working on a local house (probable 17th – early 19th house with earlier feature). And (again too slowly – sorry D) on preparing a workshop for a public history project that I co-direct. So I’ll hopefully be able to say a little more about those over the next few months.

Over the next few weeks months I intend to communicate some of the small discoveries that I ve made over the last year or so the first being from the prolonged holiday that I took last year of 4 nights extended to 5 when in situ rather than the usual one or two days off a year usually spent mostly in travelling dashing from site to site as teaching research prep. Given the general resemblance of the witch and child in the foreground to traditional representations of the Madonna and Child see, for example, The Met 30.

Rosemary is also used for protection and can be burned or worn as a protective amulet. Healing: Many herbs are known for their healing properties, both physically and spiritually. Lavender, for instance, is often used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and calmness.

Beautiful Buildings and Back to (an adjusted) Life

Some of the wonderful buildings I overlook during writing!

It’s been a very long time since I’ve been able to teach or work on community projects, or get too involved in research – or indeed write here (or anywhere else).

But thanks to the often kind & helpful advice and support over the last few year of various local hospital consultants & rehabilitation clinics (different sort of rehab to that which Amy Winehouse sang about!), I’m now (I hope) in a position that I might try to return – very slowly & carefully – back to (a less intense) normal.

Unfortunately, if able to conduct tours at all, they’ll now be limited by what seems to be permanently reduced mobility, but I’m hopeful that with support, I’ll still be able to do occasional short house & garden tours, if not the multi-site quick-march romps around town & country that I used to do. And I’ll continue to develop digital tours, which informed by my own disabilities, I might work towards providing material accessible to a wider audience.

I have, however, not been completely idle (I couldn’t entirely keep away from my work – I love it too much!), and in having to contemplate & put into practice adjustments in everyday life, I’ve also been thinking on & trying out new approaches to teaching & research (expanding topics, as well as tweaking existing projects).

For example, I’ll be experimenting with some of the rather snazzy technology that I recently encountered, which I anticipate could be quite fun, as well as providing scope for disseminating informative content in different ways, through digital tours & other forms of engagement with the historic environment.

Over the next few weeks & months I intend to communicate some of the small discoveries that I’ve made over the last year or so – the first being from the ‘prolonged’ holiday that I took last year (of 4 nights – extended to 5 when in situ – rather than the usual one or two days off a year – usually spent mostly in travelling & dashing from site to site as teaching research/ prep). Unfortunately this provoked a further decline in health, rather than the improvement that I had hoped for, preventing me from revisiting my findings until very recently.

2018 Holiday Accommodation! (Projecting wing belonging to separate accommodation.)

I stayed in the most wonderful of places – a merchant’s hall not far from my favourite place away from home: King’s Lynn, Norfolk. The fine Early Modern building proved to be of great interest, enabling leisurely probings that might provide comparisons for the studies of housing & gardens I conduct as part of the LIP community archaeology project that I direct; and ritual protection inscriptions / incisions (‘witch-marks’ / ‘folk-magic’) for the ‘Malefic Midlands‘ project that I direct.

I’m now back in King’s Lynn – again in a fantastic building & location, staying in a mid-eighteenth century merchant’s town house this time (adjacent a late Medieval / early modern complex & numerous other superb historical buildings, as well as a churchyard & minster containing some interesting grave memorials). So I’ve again been able to feed my interests, ogling & photographing. Today I intend to take a look at the extant features of my interior surroundings, and as usual snap away at paint-chips & the like – the products of which I’ll add to my online photo-banks (e.g. here), posting some here too soon.

Where I’m staying now (behind the numerous first floor windows)!

I’ve been (unfortunately far too slowly – sorry H) been working on a local house (probable 17th – early 19th house with earlier feature). And (again too slowly – sorry D) on preparing a workshop for a public history project that I co-direct. So I’ll hopefully be able to say a little more about those over the next few months.

I’ve also been gradually preparing an expanded range of talks & workshops – to be delivered variously between autumn this year and 2021 – for my principal commercial website – which reflects my extended research; I’ll say more about these here as I develop these further & are closer to being ready for delivery.

Due to limited time & constrained financial resources, from now on I’ll generally only be able to take group bookings, though sessions may be accessible to individuals & families if organisations such as museums take them up. I might also again provide occasional events at the ‘Antiquarian Academy‘. (In both cases I’ll give my mailing list priority notification as usual, if possible.)

So for now I’ll sign off, so that I might spend the remaining holiday (checking out tomorrow morning) further enjoying the lovely building & views of wonderful Lynn.

View from one of the rooms in which I’m writing!

Seventeenth, Eighteenth, and Nineteenth Century British Paintings. Sotheby's, London. July 9, 1980, pp. 108–10, no. 79, ill. (color), as the property of a gentleman; states that "its appearance . . . at Penkill Castle must have been at the instigation of David Scott, who was influenced by Fuseli and who was a close friend of the Boyd family".

It can also be used in healing rituals or bath spells to aid in physical and emotional healing. Eucalyptus is another herb used for healing, as it is believed to have purifying and cleansing properties. It can be burned or used in ritual baths to remove negative energies and promote healing. Divination: Certain herbs are used in divination practices to enhance psychic abilities or to aid in scrying or dreamwork. Mugwort, for example, is commonly associated with divination and can be burned or placed under a pillow to enhance psychic dreams. Bay leaves are also used in divination rituals and can be burned or written upon to enhance clarity and insight. Purification: Many herbs are used in purification rituals to cleanse spaces, objects, or individuals. Sage is perhaps the most well-known herb for purification, as it is believed to have strong cleansing properties. It can be burned as smudge sticks or used in ritual baths to purify and cleanse. Cedar is also used for purification and can be burned or placed in sachets to clear negative energies. These are just a few examples of the magical uses of herbs. Each herb possesses its own unique properties and can be used in various ways to enhance magical practices. It is important to research and understand the properties of each herb before using them for magical purposes, as some herbs may have specific associations or restrictions. Additionally, it's essential to approach magical practices with respect and intention to fully harness the energies of these natural wonders..
