1. I realized that when I consecrated my sickle, it was sitting on the altar during the closing of the temple which includes banishing. This made me think maybe I messed up an need to reconsecrate it since it wasn't in a linen bag or box. But I saw the instructions specifically said to close the temple, then after that it says place the sickle in a box. So the ceremony seems to suggest that putting it in a lined item should be done after the banishing to close.
Do I need to re-consecrate?
2. I'm thinking of starting a small patio herb garden in pots to grow herbs useful in natural magic. I'd like to pick a few that are very commonly useful, and can't just be easily purchased when needed. I have no interest in love magic, but a range of things like healing, protection, blessing, personal transformation, etc. would be good to cover.
What five or seven herbs would you recommend as generally good to have?
For starters, I'm considering angelica and cinquefoil. For the latter, I can't seem to find the exact species listed in your Encyclopedia of Natural Magic, but fruticosa seems common. Does that species work the same?
