"Due to its association with the element Air, Astragalus root is often used in spells for mental clarity. Astragalus root is good at focusing energy, and for this reason is great to use in spells and charms for psychic shielding. One of the main herbs in Chinese medicine, Astragalus root is very useful in supporting immune and respiratory function. A great substitute for echinacea during cold and flu season, Astragalus root increases the body's resistance against respiratory infections."

Welcome back to Threads N Herbs day 6! Today we are going to talk about Angelica Root!

"carry it with you to ward off illness and encourage health. Use in a bath for breaking hexes/curses. Use as an incense for banishing evil spirits. Sprinkle around the home for protection against any unwanted energy or magick being sent your way."

It is part of the Parsley family, known as a powerful guardian. It is commonly used to banish negativity and attract positive energy. It is associated with the Archangel Michael. "Legend has it that the angel appeared in a dream to a monk, showing him the herb that could cure the plague in Europe. Traditionally, Angelica blooms on the feast of the Apparition of the Archangel Michael, May 8. Angelica is also known as Holy Ghost Root, Archangel Root or Dong Quai." "Use care when wildcrafting, as it resembles both Queen Anne’s Lace (a benign wild carrot) and Water Hemlock (a poisonous plant)." "Angelica corresponds to the Sun and the element of Fire." "

Carry a piece of Angelica root to bring strength and ward off hexes. Put the root in a white mojo bag for protection, or a yellow one for courage.

Angelica is an ingredient in a Hoodoo working known as the Fiery Wall of Protection.

Add the dried root to incenses, floor washes, and baths to break jinxes and purify the home.

Use Angelica to consecrate amulets of Archangel Michael and all Solar charms."

“What is the difference between a worshipper and a devotee?”

A Worshipper

A worshiper typically has a more casual relationship with their deities, compared to a devotee. A worshiper may pray or make offerings occasionally, but it is not their primary focus. This can be a good starting point for beginners who are just getting into spiritual practice, as it is less time-consuming than becoming a devotee.

A Devotee

A devotee prioritizes their worship and practice towards a particular deity or deities. A devotee will do everything a worshiper does, but more frequently and with greater dedication. This level of commitment requires more time and focus, which may not be ideal for beginners or those with very busy schedules.

Ultimately, the choice between being a worshiper or a devotee is a personal one. There is no universally "better" option, as it depends on an individual's spiritual needs, lifestyle, and level of experience. The key is to choose an approach that feels right for your current circumstances and goals.
