Anecdotal: Plantago is empowerment medicine that enhances ones strength during prolonged or strenuous rituals. It is also considered appropriate to recoveries or learning challenging, new skills. Plantago is handled as protection against lightning. Its roots, leaves and seeds can be blown over practitioners’  tools and ritual musical instruments to purify and empower them. While the root is believed to enhance quality longevity, the herb can be used to make someone more agreeable. Plantago is both Bardic and feminine linked to securing healthy rebirth into more harmonious attunement to sacred cycles. The spirit within Plantago is invoked to address spiritual pain related to genetous or distant experiences that have damaged personal shields, impaired self-expression or ones sense of vision as well as shut down ones connection to the spirit world. It is particularly appropriate when matters of the heart are believed to be the underlying cause. Plantago is a formidable incarnant for resolving associated endopsychic wounds.
