Dittany of Crete Questions and Answers
Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 3:35 pm
Seasons Greetings, [from an email originally sent to Lucky Mojo customer service, who referred me to the expertise available at this forum]
Hi there, I read with interest your page regarding Dittany of Crete at:
http://www.herb-magic.com/dittany-of-crete.html
I was hoping you might be able to provide me with some of the original reference materials from which the accompanying piece of writing was taken. I have tracked down the Crowley references from "Magick Without Tears" regarding its burning as a medium for the materialization of spirits, and I've seen other online references to it in regards to a "love herb", but I've not come across any other specific (offline) sources for these claims, such as specifically seeing your future mate, etc. Have also found the Agrippa & Culpepper references, as well as the Classical authors, but none of them so far have mentioned any of the Eros connections...
Any assistance you might be able to provide in this manner would be most appreciated! I actually went to Crete last year to look for this plant firsthand and had many interest experiences as a result. Since then, I have been trying to compile in one place everything that is known about this plant from historical, occult, scientific and gardening sources - quite a task, as this plant is not very well documented, despite its seeming popularity for thousands of years!
In any event, Happy Holidays to you and thanks for a nice product. I originally purchased two bags from your online store (through a local herbalist as go-between) and enjoyed them before I embarked on my own trip.
Thanks again,
Tim Boucher
