Happy New Month,
For this month we will work with Anise. Anise raises vibrations to the highest possible psychic level. It is also good for bringing about changes in attitude (re-focusing), for astral travel, dreams, crystal gazing, and meditation. Some believe that if you place a small amount in a pillow, it will keep away nightmares. Anise is used for clairvoyance, divination, or even mental exercises.
In some Voodoo initiations, they will use Anisette liquor to anoint the head. Try buying a bottle of this liquor and take a shot before you meditate. I am curious to find out about the experience.
