Health Benefits of Mint

And I love spiders too. It's great to associate with them in my magick practice to help my own embroidery and sewing projects. The only ones I kill are sac spiders because I'm sensitive to their venom and they multiply fast.

In Greek mythology, Athena was the greatest weaver and Arachne was her student. But Arachne made Athena very angry when she claimed she was a better weaver than even the gods themselves. So they had a weaving contest and even though Arache's tapestry was just as fine as Athena's it made fun of the gods. This angered Athena even more and so she turned her into an immortal spider, condemned to weave an empty tapestry forever. But oh how lovely those webs can be! It's always been a favorite story of mine. :)

By the way, sunflower petals and marigold petals are great in salads!

Exactly Brysing, different mints are better with different things. And they're all bunched up in this article without any specific common or scientific names. Even peppermint uses can vary based on where they were grown. For instance one of the most aromatic areas for peppermint is France, which is why peppermint tea from France is all I buy! It will even steep cold in minutes because it is so strong.

"By the way, sunflower petals and marigold petals are great in salads!"

I didn't know that! My daughter wants to plant sunflowers next year. So she'll be thrilled to know this. Thank you for that tip Brysing!
