I change this up a little bit each time I make it. Thinking of creating a different kind later this year that includes pine resin.

What are the "three sacred herbs"?
ReplyDeleteThey were 3 that don't have any documented association with Dionysos but I added for their entheogenic qualities and because I personally associate them with some ecstatic experiences I've had. (Salvia divinorum, for one.) As the quantitiy indicates, it wouldn't be enough to even affect the aroma, but I added them for their energetic, spiritual properties. Also, 3 is a magical number and one that I associate with Dionysos.
DeleteAnd of course they aren't any more or less "sacred" than the others, I was simply being coy about naming them - you could omit them or choose ones of personal singnificance.
