Band Members: A Moon plant, orris root is used for digging deep into the Moon-ruled subconscious and uprooting what is hidden. Like any Moon herb, it can also be used in divination and dreamwork. The iris is also called the fleur-de-lis, so this Moon plant has often been associated with dominion and war, which gives it a nice protective aspect. Some consider orris root a Venus herb. It is definitely widely used for love magick, and in Hoodoo is known as Love Drawing Herb (and Queen Elizabeth root). The powder form is blown onto clothes, sheets, and so forth to make sure that the owner returns one's love. Orris is harvested in Italy, Wales and has been a traditional fixative for scent since ancient Greece. Orris is famous not only for love magick but as well for smoothing out the combined scents when infusing oils. Many consider that its essential oil, which is locked in these roots and which develops its scent over time, smells like violets.
