===== Magical Uses =====
Dittany, when burned, is an excellent base for manifestations of spirits; the wraiths appear in the smoke rising from the censer.

Dittany is also mixed with equal parts of vanilla, benzoin and sandalwood to make an astral projection incense. Burn a small amount prior to making the attempt.

The juice of the dittany drives away venomous beasts, so smear some onto your body before venturing out where they live.
