===== Magical Uses =====
Orchids have long been used in love spells, especially the root, which is carried in a sachet.

Of course, the flower is currently one of the commoner floral symbols of love in the West, and when given, clearly conveys its message.

Some types of orchids are used in creating visions, trance-states, and inducing psychic powers.
