Priestess Z.  Thanks, I'll give it a try.  We always have jars of minced or crushed garlic in our house.  It's a staple.  lol

Comment by Zephonith. on April 11, 2013 at 6:51am

Linda, open up some of the holes which are underneath the heaped up mounds of earth characteristic of mole activity, and widen them enough to be able to pour that horrid minced-up garlic paste that is so pungent and which messes everywhere when you try and cook with it, into the openings.. Moles really dislike pungent odours, and this eco-friendly method is much better than using all of the poisons that kill everything else in the vicinity.

Comment by Linda Mann on April 9, 2013 at 6:06pm

I have what I assume is a mole in my yard.  I've seen the small hole.  You can see tunnels all over the yard.  I really don't want to kill him.  How do I get rid of him, or even capture and relocate him?

Comment by ShenShen on January 11, 2013 at 11:35am

If I could only have one magical plant it would be white sage. I love the smell of smudging with it, I am considering trying to grow it indoors but it needs a lot of sun so it could be tricky.

I would keep lavender for magickal purposes, aromatherapy purposes, and cooking purposes.

If you could only keep one plant in a pot for magic, what would it be?  Not marijuana, etc.
