Blessed Be The Spellmakers Of The World
Herbs
  Twenty years ago, while studying some old magic books from the 1400s, discovered that many ingredients in the spells were called different names than they are nowdays.  In fact, thing were sometimes so different that I ended up having to get very old dictionaries to help me fully understand what was trying to be said.  So anyways, I started figuring out what the herbs were now compared to old names they had, and this is as far as I have gotten on this project so far.  Also if anyone has any more that I may not have listed here please send me an e-mail and I will add it here.
