The letter X ...

Bet you were expecting a lot of X words and herbs? Sorry to disappoint. X is one of those words that doesn't have a lot of entries in the English dictonary and herbal books. That doesn't mean that there are not a lot of X words, just not X words that relate to herbal, magical and spiritual practices. 

The lettter X represents xeniality (hospitality), the unknown, and transformation. X holds the energy of harmony, responsibility, and protection. Herbs that start with X carry xeric resilience, xenogenesis (new beginnings), and xystic energy (clear, open pathways), which support magical transformation, psychic insight, and spiritual exploration by embracing the unknown, crossing thresholds, and unlocking hidden wisdom.
