Anecdotal: The spirit within Brassica is invoked to address spiritual pain that results in the loss of creative, personal expression. It is a superb remedy for resolving obstacles that impair the flow of prayers and ideas. The seed is particularly esteemed for its ability to placate heaviness and revive the spirit. It strengthens memory, increases mental power and affords inordinate protection when carried in a red medicine bag. It is highly exorcismal when placed in doorways and guards against the intrusion of malevolent spirits. Brassica seed is believed to be a fine aphrodisiac and is an ingredient in potions and medicine bags for that purpose.
