Elecampane is a tall herb in the sunflower family with toothed leaves and bright yellow flowers. Its botanical name is derived from the myth that elecampane sprouted from Helen of Troy’s tears.

Elecampane can also open up your psychic sight and assist you in scrying or otherworld journeying. It can be used in teas, baths, or burnt as incense for spellwork.
