Marshmallow Root (1 oz)

Once upon a time, the starchy roots of this tall marsh plant were boiled and used to thicken confectionery. Though it's been replaced in most recipes by gelatin, it's still a component in traditional spells and charms. Magically, Marshmallow is attributed to Water, Venus, and the feminine. Arthurian legend links it with the mystical women of Avalon, while in Voodoo tradition it is said to attract good spirits. Add a pinch to spells of love, fertility, and attraction. It may be worn in a locket or sachet as an herb of persuasion and protection.

1 ounce cut and sifted Marshmallow root (Althea officinalis) by weight (excluding packaging). Sold as a botanical curio only (not a substitute for medical, legal, or other professional advice).
