Basil, oh basil, such a confounding herb. Originating over 5000 years ago, basil has been tied to folklore beliefs about the basilisk, undying love, scorpions, protection, and both curing madness and causing it. In this episode, I explore several of these beliefs, the interesting myths surrounding basil's scientific name, and share a morbid, fascinating story that involves lovers, dismemberment, and basil. As always, I tell you several ways you can use basil in your craft, and give you a easy recipe for basil pesto so that you can really get a feel for the "King of Herbs".
Check out my Love Blend, which uses basil to draw those deep love energies into your life.
