Witchcraft
The herb is used by modern witches in love potions and for divination and contact with spirits. When using it as an incense, it is cautioned that spirits materialize in the smoke.
Also, small doses of the herb are believed to enhance one's ability to perform astral projection, separating the consciousness from the physical.
Additionally, dittany of Crete is one of the few well-known etheric condensers. In Hermetic practice, its primary use is to provide sufficient ether to allow for the construction of a physical body for spirits summoned via rites of evocation.
