The spiritual afterparty nobody talks about

You’ve just finished a killer ritual. Candle flames are whipping around like cobras, incense has etched strange patterns into your ceiling, and your altar looks like a honey badger had brunch on it. The spirits have been called, the work has been done, and now you’re sitting there with a question that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime:

“So… what do I banish now?”

Basil. It’s not just a good name for sheep. When you think of basil, it’s likely your brain jumps to food. The Italian and Thai peoples in particular, make extensive use of this most aromatic of herbs. Considered a royal herb, Basil’s Latin name, Basileus means “king” and its Greek name, Basilikon, aligns it to the Basilisk.
