I'm writing a ritual to mend a familial relationship, and I know that Bloodroot is a great herb for mending family relationships and increasing previously lacking respect therein. I cannot obtain Bloodroot unfortunately, so does anyone know of any other herbs that achieve the same goal and are fairly easy to obtain? Maybe even some stones that do the same thing, too? If it helps any, I live in Orange County, CA. Thank you very much.
