===== Magical Uses =====

Chew the seeds to aid in concentration, or use in spell pillows to induce sleep. Burned with orris root, celery seeds increase psychic powers. The stalk, along with the seeds, induces lust when eaten.

Witches supposedly ate celery seeds before flying off on their brooms so that they wouldn't become dizzy and fall!

===== Aromatherapy =====

Most cooks know the rather peculiar odor of celery seed, which has been compared to that of parsley.

To awaken your psychic awareness, crush about a teaspoon of the dried seeds and tie up in a piece of thin, cotton cloth. Inhale the odor and visualize your conscious mind relaxing (perhaps as a fist relaxes), allowing true communication with your psychic mind to occur.

To bring restful sleep, stuff small pillows with celery seed and lay your head on these.
