‘What is, is what must be’
“There is not a day or night but a doe offers her life for her kittens, or some honest captain of Owsla his life for his Chief Rabbit’s. Sometimes it is taken, sometimes it is not. But there is no bargain, for here, what is, is what must be.”

dads are so right about falling asleep on the couch with your arms crossed
Basil was, traditionally, a symbol of courting, particularly in Italy. Young bachelors would give Basil to their partners to declare their feelings, and when a young maiden hung or grew Basil on her windowsill, she was open to finding a partner. This makes it a great addition for love and attraction spells!
Basil is also a natural pest repellent that grows really well alongside tomatoes. In fact, many gardeners basically plant a wall of basil around their tomatoes because it repels bugs, and they just go great together overall.
I learned this from the Rodale Herb Book, which I found in my Dad's library. It's a really old, interesting book about the medicine, history, folklore and gardening of all sorts of herbs! I really recommend it to fellow plant enthusiasts and green witches! You can find copies of it online if you're interested!!
Society needs more intimate and ritualized violence. If you get elected mayor you should have to eat a horse heart. It could be symbolic of your duty or some shit. You gotta do it at the community barbeque where all your constituents can see.
