Hello! My story opens with my main character (lives in modern New York) attempting to converse with the spirit of a dead person. Her family has a long history of using magic, and so I wanted to ask if there are any plants, flowers or herbs or whatever, that have a particular association with being used in seances or other such rituals for conversing with spirits and the beyond. If you could direct me to any further resources or even help at all then I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

Hello!

There sure are! There is, of course, sage, which is well-known as a cleansing herb at this point and is often used to banish malevolent spirits. Many people really like white sage, but it’s quickly becoming endangered, and other types of sage will work just as well. Kitchen sage is a favorite of mine, but just about any will work.

Sweet grass, as well as sweet fern, are both used to attract benevolent spirits. Sweet fern is also used the way sage is to clear out malevolent spirits, often with smoke cleansing (bonus of sweet fern: it smells very nice while fresh or dried, and unlike sage, sweet fern doesn’t smell like marijuana while burning(YMMV on sage smell, some people think it smells like marijuana and others don’t. It’s a weird thing where people familiar with both smells can still disagree.)

Lilac and mint are often used to get in contact with spirits, and there are many many herbs for raising awareness of spirits. including basil and mugwort.

Many spirits also like offerings! What your character offers will likely be dependent on the kind of spirits they’re trying to get in touch with, but coins are usually a good bet, and many spirits are known to be attracted to candles, and to the rituals themselves.

I hope this helps, happy writing!

Hello! My question is about pronunciation. In a story I’m writing a major character has a Hungarian surname, Kiraly. On Wikipedia it says that the English pronunciation is “KEER-ah-lee”, but I was wondering what the actual Hungarian pronunciation would be? As far as I can tell from IPA phonetic symbols it sounds like “kih-rah-ye”? Is that close? (I’m very sorry for my bad pronunciation of Hungarian!)

kee-raah-y....? but the second one is closest (the kih-rah-ye), but leave the e off, because the LY is same as J, like the y in yes. the k is k, the i is ee (not not long!), the á is ah, pretty open one and a bit longer.

hungarian is easy pronounce if you know how the letters sounds like they ALWAYS SAME, unlike in english, where they makes no sense sometimes.

and it is actually király, right? you can’t type á, I guess.
