DITTANY OF CRETE

(Dictamus origanoides, D. albus) G
Gender: Feminine
Planet: Venus
Element: Water
Powers: Manifestations, Astral Projection
Magical Uses: Dittany, when burned, is an
excellent base for manifestations of spirits;
the wraiths appear in the smoke rising
from the censer.
Dittany is also mixed with equal parts of
vanilla, benzoin and sandalwood to make
an astral projection incense. Burn a small
amount prior to making the attempt.
The juice of the dittany drives away
venomous beasts, so smear some onto your
body before venturing out where they live.
