Okay, so this little flower right here is my new best friend. It’s a humble plant called lobelia, commonly found in open spaces and in gardens as a ground cover plant. The variety in my garden is a lovely violet-blue, but it also comes in lighter blue and white.

One of the folk names for it is gagroot. I like to call it Shut Up Juice.

Seriously, if you’re working any sort of magic that involves halting gossip or keeping a secret or just getting a particularly obnoxious person to shut the fuck up, there are few things better than lobelia to get the job done.

It’s also listed in my books as an herb to use in love spells, and for calling up storms.
