COMMON NAMES

Astragalus
Huang Qi

The beneficial herb known as the astragalus is a twining leguminous perennial plant, which can reach 11 and a half to 39 inches high when fully grown. This plant has a multi branching stem, which slants slightly upward and which is also slightly hairy in appearance. The herb possesses pinnate leaves which grow alternately and each has 9 to 21 leaflets, which are elliptical in shape, each being about a quarter to three fourths of an inch long and about one thirds of an inch wide across. The racemes on the plant are axillary in position and the peduncle of the plant is very slender, bearing anything from three to nine flowers, which arise at the very top of the plant. The plant also possesses a spindle shaped pod, which is slightly inflated, is a little over an inch long and is beaked at the tip. The astragalus herb produces about twenty to thirty seeds.

All the medicinal properties of the astragalus lie in its root-which is highly valued by herbalist. The root of the astragalus is long and flexible, it can be as large as the human forefinger, and is covered by a tough and wrinkled, yellowish to brown colored skin, this skin on the root often tends to break out into many woolly fibers which can become very noticeable during close observation. The body of the root possesses a woody interior, which is yellowish to white in color. The root pulp has a faint and slightly sweet taste, which often reminds one of the herbal licorice roots.

I was asked to create an exorcism kit as a gift. I think I met the challenge.

In order:

Lunar Water
Created beneath a full moon for the cleansing and consecration of objects, spaces and beings.

Waters of Dispersion
A formula from the Ars Philtron, “With it disperse noxious spirits and flocculum abomini.”

Waters of Severity
Also from the Ars Philtron, “A Compound Water for Exorcism in instances of stubborn hauntings.”

Ash and Herb Salts
For the exorcism of spirits, protection and the breaking of curses.

Iron Salts of Negation
For the warding, disruption and disabling of paranormal entities.

My take on a demon bowl and a desert rose selenite, to work in conjunction. The bowl binds while the desert rose transmutes malicious energy and returns it to the earth.
