That is an interesting point you have made Mato Kenze, and very significant as well.
Herbal allies will help a person if they understand the reasons for using them and are confident of their power to affect the individuals energy field...that these things contain vibratory power in the same way we do.
It worked for me...but that doesn't mean it will work for someone else, especially if that person thinks such things are silly! You need to be able to feel protected from these spells, and that requires your own discovery of what works for you both, because these things they are real, very much like a person saying a prayer but with ill intent, so they are not to be dismissed, especially if your wife knows for a fact that these people do practise these old ways.
Since magic is actually a natural occurence in everyones life, whether they know it or not, I am sure you will come to your own method of doing what you need to do at this time.
