Practiced in isolation and secrecy, viewed with suspicion by society, this is
Argios'guide to everyday sorcery from elixers to magic potions to forgotten
herbal knowledge.

In the ancient celtic lands Druids had great knowledge about the potency and
power of all kinds of plants.

One of the most sacred herbs of the Druids was Mint in its various forms.
Vape or extract the mint smell in your vincinity and it will result in a higher
state of being, a wave of freshness, creativity, focus and concentration will
come over you. But also an overall pleasant relaxed mood. Energetic withouth being
ansy or speedy.

Growing it yourself:
You can ofcourse buy mint plants, sprigs, dried mint and even mint oil in
the supermarket but its really easy to grow by yourself too, it will grow fast and plentyfull and 
almost everywhere, its ideal place is however a moist ground facing
the midday/afternoon sun. The best time to harvest mint is in the morning while the volatile oils 
and life forces in the plant are at their strongest.

How to operate the mint herb:

Fresh mint:
Tear it up in smaller pieces with your hands (it will make your
hands smell really nice) put a bunch of it in a bowl and place it in your room
somewhere. Make sure you tear the pieces in the room you want the mint atmosphere
because it is during the tearing process that most of the mint particles will infuse
the air.

The potency of this method is not as powerfull but it is the freshest
with a more pine-forestesque smell to it. You might need a bunch of bowls around
the room to really get the best out of it.


Dried mint:
A more sweeter intenser smell then the fresh mint and more potent. Put some water
in a preferably wide open pan (with a big surface area, like a wok or frying
pan) put it on the stove and sprinkle like 5 grams (half of a small jar) of the
dried mint in it. Let it slowly simmer ...your house should be infused with its mesmerizing smell in 
no time. Be carefull you don't overdo it, cooking it too
long and putting in too much dried mint might give a more medicinal and spinach
-esque smell. Just experiment a bit to get the right amounts and results you like.
