Easy Access Planetary Herbs
A lot of spells often require strange herbs that you’re unlikely to have in your kitchen or garden. So for a newby, this means getting started involves buying loads of herbs that you don’t have or going out foraging for them and trying to identify them in the wild. Either way, that gate keeps the…
