Salvia Officinalis: Rich, resonant, old, strongly affects the psychic circuitry, holy, wise.

• Sage is an excellent tonic for all manner of psychic circuitry activities, from soothsaying to divination, from out of body travel to psychometry and from intuitive healing to dreams. It also stabilises and calms psychic circuitry induced symptoms in the energy system, such as is often experienced by teenagers during puberty and women in menopause.

A ghost hunter is called to a house where two warring ghosts keep the occupants in terror each night. Objects fly around the rooms, pictures crash from the walls, and endless moaning and groaning is heard. The ghost hunter strolls around the place and makes a big deal of waving his arms about and shouting strange evocations.

Just as an afterthought, or so it seems, he gives the occupants - a mother and her teenage daughter - a bag of herbs so they may make a tea to calm their nerves.

They drink their tea, they go to bed, and both sleep soundly - the warring ghosts have disappeared.
