"A plant’s role in a story, superstition, or old custom can reveal as much about its magical properties as any written spell. Understanding why and how an herb was used is just as important as knowing what was used. Was it chosen for its appearance, its medicinal properties, or its name? Did it carry cultural or religious significance? Was it a plant readily available to the practitioner, or was its rarity part of its power?"
