                 ANISE  SEED
       Anise added to a special blend of
       incense called 'Meditation' is said
       to aid greatly in the work of psychic
       phenomena.  However, this does take
       regular work and patience,  There are
       no short cuts in Occult work though
       many waste much time pursuing this
       will-o-the-wisp.
                                             
            ARCHANGEL  HERB
       Archangel Herb, we are told, is used
       in the following Love Spell:
       l ounce of Archangel Herb mixed with
       2 ounces of a special incense called
       Love Incense,  This is thoroughly
       mixed and a small amount is lighted.
       Write the name of your loved one in
       Dove's Blood Ink on parchment and
       then burn the Paper in the incense.
       When all has burned to ashes throw
       a little to the East, North, West and
       South while concentrating on your
       loved one. This is said to bring and
       bind the loved one to you.


               ASAFOETIDA
       A little of this goes a long, long way,
       as one would say.  Strongly aromatic,
       it was worn in a cloth around the throat
       to ward off colds and evil.
       It is known as one of the incenses of
       Saturn and is said to be used to place
       a curse on an enemy.
           ALLEGED  CURSE
            (asafoetida)
       In a night hour of Saturn mix a pinch of
       Asafoetida with seven drops of the Oil
       of Black Arts. Add three drops of Ju Ju
       Oil, and one tablespoonful of Crossing
       Incense, mix well.  Anoint a piece of
       parchment paper with Obeah Oil and let
       it dry thoroughly.  When it is dry, write,
       in Dove's Blood Ink, the name of the one
       you wish to curse.  Place this paper in
       the bottom of an incense burner and place
       the incense mix on top of it.  If possible,
       add some hair and nail parings of your 
       enemy.  If these are not available, a
       small photograph will do.  If this too
       is impossible, then you must picture your
       enemy as clearly as possible in your mind.
       Light the incense and as it burns say:
             "By this fire, by this smoke,
             By this flame, Do I forever
             and eternally curse, (name of
             enemy) I (your own name)
             put the curse of Samael,
             Ashtaroth, Bael, Adrammelech,
             and Nahema upon thee."
       When all is completely burned,
       scatter the ashes to the four
       winds and wash your hands
       thoroughly in water to which
       some salt has been added.

             ASH   TREE  POWDER
       Legends tell us that Ash Tree Powder
       can be used to bless or curse.  It's
       Occult uses seem to be many.
       The famous Ygdrasill Tree is believed
       to have been the Ash Tree and anyone
       who fled to it was protected from any
       harm. Many carry a bit of Ash Tree
       Leaves or powder on their person in a
       little bag. It is believed to keep one
       from drowning. Those born in Air Signs
       are supposed to have a special affinity
       to the Ash Tree.  
       
       A purported Blessing Spell using Ash
       Tree Powder is as follows:
       With the fingers of the left hand place
       some Ash Tree powder in the palm of
       the right hand and blow toward the
       East and say:
             "East Wind carry this
             offering to the Guardians of the East,
             that they may bless and protect me."
       With the fingers of the left hand place
       some Ash Tree powder in the palm of
       the right hand and blow toward the
       South and say:              
             "South Wind,
             carry this offering to the Guardians
             of the South that they may bless and
             protect me."
       With the fingers of the left hand place
       some Ash Tree powder in the palm of
       the right hand and blow toward the
       West and say:
             "Wind of the West,
             carry this offering to the Guardians
             of the West that they may bless and
             protect me. "
       With the fingers of the left hand place
       some Ash Tree powder in the palm of
       the right hand and blow toward the
       North and say:
             "Wind of the North,
             carry this offering to the Guardians
             of the North, that they may bless and
             Protect me." 
       Now turn once again to
       the East and say,
             "The Magic Circle I have turned,
             Powder of the sacred Ash I've offered thee
             Grant me the blessings I have earned,
             (Diety), I pray, do not abandon me,
             Now I beg, send my true love to me."

       and believe it will protect the body from
       harm and make barren women fertile.

       seasoned with Basil to the man she desires,
       and he eats thereof, she will snare his love
       for her very own.
       In the West Indies, an old Voodoo Law
       requires that one soak a heaping teaspoonful
       of Basil in a Pint of water.  This water
       is then sprinkled in a Place of business to
       attract money and success and to keep
       away all evil.

       therein, as well as a Protection for
       the house itself.  A bit of Bay Leaf
       crushed and mixed with sandlewood
       powder is believed to remove a
