How to use a correspondence table

A correspondence isn't a rule — it's a traditional shorthand, built up over generations of practice, connecting a plant or stone to a feeling or intention. You're not required to use lavender for calm just because it's listed here; if a different herb feels right to you, that feeling is worth trusting.

The most common way to use this table: start from what you need (courage, protection, clarity) rather than what you own, filter by that tag, and see what's already in your kitchen or jewelry box before buying anything new.
