Ok. I will be careful. And, I think before I try this, I may look for a different way to contact the spirits. Thanks so much for all your help.
And what are the effects of each of the St. Joans plants?
St. John's Plant/Herb is another name for Mugwort.
St. John's WORT is an herb often used to treat depression (do NOT take internally if on birth control, as it renders the Pill inactive). It is magically (in incense, potions, spell bags, teas) for protection, fertility, courage, healing and power. It is also good to burn as an incense for divination, or drink as a tea for that purpose as well (and it is safer than Mugwort or Wormwood).

To make a mediation tea use rosemary, chamomile, passionflower, lemon balm, and peppermint. If you don't have one of these just use what you have. A pinch of eyebright will help you also to open your third eye.
As for incense use sandalwood, patchouli, or cedar wood.

An incense with sandalwood, patchouli or cedar would be more a cleansing incense than for meditation.
And be careful with Chamomile! Some people can have SEVERE allergic (ie. dying) reactions to it. While it is uncommon, I know of at least one person who died from a chamomile allergy.
Here is a good directory of herbs to use in various forms:

Sandalwood, patchouli, and cedar wood incense is used to cleanse. When you use it to help you meditate it helps to clear your mind so that you can meditate on what it is you want to.
Wow, thanks you guys. This is all very helpfull. But, unfortunatly, I must put my meditation on hold. Lol, these ingrediants aren't exactly comonplace around my town, and I will need to order them online. But thanks so much for your help. This will make my journy and self discovery much easier, and much safer. ^_^
I live in Rangely Colorado. It would be magnificent if you could tell me some alternatives. I think it would be much more fulfilling if I used localy grow herbs. And especialy if I gathered them myself. ^_^ If nothing else, tho, I can just order them.
And, what is eyebright? Is that the comon name? I can feel my third eye, and it kind of hurts. I think if I can open it up, it might feel much better.
Ok. I will definatly look for some Euphrasia and eyeblight. And I would greatly enjoy going to a local shop... but the closest posible local shop for herbs is near to a 3 hour drive over a mountain. >.
