history:
History: Licorice was among the first candies made by humans. The first licorice was made by boiling down licorice roots. Later anise oil and sugar were added. In 1760, the modern licorice stick was introduced, made with licorice, sugar, and flour.
Licorice sticks were found in the tomb of King Tut.
Licorice is a food that increases sexual energy and enhances fertility.
Expels mucous from the respiratory tract aids in healing hoarseness, hypoglycemia, coughs & constipation; promotes healthy adrenal glands; acts as a sexual stimulant; helps increase endurance & vitality; helps in reducing skin blemishes (age spots).
Venus spells: Licorice (as an herb) may be used in as an ingredient or substitute for magick spells and formulas related to Venus matters (beauty, compassion, fidelity, friendship, happiness, interchanges, joy, love, luck, meditation, pleasure, reconciliation, and youth). Be careful about substitutions for preparations that will be ingested or come in contact with the skin. These substitutions do not apply to medical uses. See the article on Venus for a list of herbal substitutes for licorice.
