MY PERSONAL HERB INVENTORY LIST

This page is a living record of the herbs I keep on hand for my work, study, and ritual practice.

This list will be updated as I add new herbs to my collection, or with new discoveries I make regarding my existing ones. 

Every herb listed here is something I have handled, researched and prayed over. Some are used regularly in client work. Some are reserved for specific conditions or ancestral instruction. Others are kept for study, formulation, and future preparation - I’m an impulsive buyer sometimes. 

I’m sharing this list with my subscribers so you can have a starting point of a variety of herbs, get and idea of how I build my work, and see just how expansive hoodoo really is beyond a few “popular” herbs. Use this as a learning resource. Sit with the names. Research them. Notice which ones call to you and why. One herb workings can be just as powerful as the ones with multiple. 

What matters most is not how many herbs you have, but how well you know the ones you keep.
