Borage

Borage is a garden plant of the Boraginaceae family, known for intensely blue, star-shaped flowers in drooping clusters over grey-green, hairy leaves and hollow stems. Wikipedia says the flowers produce copious nectar that honeybees use to make a light, delicate honey. Cunningham calls it masculine, with Jupiter and air, and lists courage and psychic powers. He has the fresh blossoms carried for courage, one worn in the buttonhole for protection outdoors, and a tea made to induce psychic powers. Kynes adds fire, Aquarius and Leo, and says it has been called the herb of gladness from ancient Greece to modern Wales. She says Crusaders reputedly added it to wine, and that borage tea was the English choice before a joust to bolster strength and bravery. She has a candle prepared with the seed oil before psychic work, and flowers floated in a bowl of water to start changes. Cunningham, Wikipedia and the American Herbal Products Association all record hazards, set out in the safety notes.
