Herb Substitution?

[[moondance]]

Hey guys n gals, I am going through some spells I am working on - but alot of spells have so many different ingredients and at times it can prove to be a bit costly ... anyway I think perhaps I can substitute some of these ingredients with what I already have that may have similar magical properties? ... b]

Scott Cunningham's Book - The Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews, has a GREAT list of Herbal Substitutions in it.

thanks all!

For anyone else interested - I did come across the following ... if anyone wants to add to the list will be most helpful for everyone I think ... as not everyone has money to go about buying lots of various herbs or the books to learn like myself xx
