Valerian Root Cut, 2 oz (Valeriana officinalis)

Cut and sifted valerian root (Valeriana officinalis), 2 oz. In folk magic valerian is a protective and purifying herb, tucked into sachets and mojo bags, sprinkled into cleansing blends, or set at doors and windows to guard a space, and it turns up in old dream and sleep charms. The root has a famously strong, earthy smell, so keep it sealed away from heat, light, and moisture.
