Aromatherapy is the use of the olfactory perceptions of the brain to process what is being smelled, to produce a specific response in the body, mind, and spirit for a precise effect.
In Witchcraft, a practitioner of the Art will use the aroma of a particular herb, spice, flower, oil or incense, to invoke a specific response in the brain. This effect accentuates the Mind’s perception of the intention that is being cast.
