Anecdotal: Torilis is believed an extraordinary aphrodisiac that enhances male potency and female receptiveness. In my research I found that this property had a serious connection to spring rituals that empowered the Earth’s fertility and created the spirit of abundance in the Universe. Torilis doesn’t lack a connection to spirit handling either. Its spirit is invoked to address spiritual pain caused by parasitic spirits when they have instigated breaks in personal shields of protection. It is not difficult to see how such events lead back to issues of potency and receptiveness.
