Borage in Magick

Borage is bound to Jupiter and air. It is legendary for it's spirit-lifting and courage-inducing properties. Celtic warriors drank wine flavored with borage to give them courage in battle, and many of the most noted herbalists throughout history have considered it a very effective anti-depressant for the feeling of elation it induces.

For courage, tuck a borage blossom in the pocket before any stressful situation, or drink a tea or glass of wine flavored with borage leaves.

Drinking borage tea is said to increase psychic powers and relieve symptoms of depression.
