[Dept of PMM Artists & things]

i was shoppin in the store on my millitary base which has local venders who bring things from off base. im on the island of crete (Greece) and was given a herb by a lady at the store who said i to try it out. the herb is a local grown herb originated from the islad as well. she didn't know what it was used for but it seemed like i should have it she said.

It's called DIKTAMUS (also known as: orlganum dictammus, theangelis, eronda and dittany of crete)

Dittany of Crete is only found on Crete and is drunk as an tea. The tea is pure and natural and is locally hand harvested on the Greek Island of Crete without any artificial ingredients, colourings or flavourings. It is 100% organic and natural and is said by many Greek generations to be good for health and well-being.

The story is....
The Ancient Greek Goddess Aphrodite herself used Dittany of Crete.
The rare and sacred Dittany of Crete is named "eronda" by the locals, meaning love for its aphrodisiac properties. It was very popular in Minoan Crete and Ancient Greece; it was considered a highly therapeutic plant. Wild goats were reputed to seek out the plant after being struck by arrows; the goats were thought to eat the plant, and the arrows would fall out immediately. Shepherds saw this and would then ingest and later make compresses of the leaves to heal open wounds.
According to Virgil’s version of the Trojan War, Aeneas was severely wounded by an arrow so deeply embedded that it could not be removed. His mother, the Roman Goddess Venus, took some Dittany of Crete from Mount Ida on the Island of Crete, applied it to Aeneas’ wound, causing the arrow to drop out and healing the wound immediately.

"A branch of healing Dittany she brought
Which in the Cretan fields with care she sought
Rough is the stem, which woolly leaves surround
The leaves with flowers, the flowers with purple crowned."

It's Magick use is said increase in psychic abilities and drawing of love and youthfulness as well as help spirits Manifestations,and aid in astral projection.
