a strega strikes again

[gayshaman]

On Monday night I went to a class on making magical teas and tinctures and had another realization about my mother, the strega:  she's been making tinctures for years!

I'm having a glass of her home-made limoncello, which is basically a lemon tincture.

I'm quoting from Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs here:

Lemon
(Citrus Lemon)
Gender:  Feminine
Planet:  Moon
Element:  Water
Powers:  Longevity, Purification, Love, Friendship.

Thanks, Mom!
