Dandelion Root can be dried, roasted and ground and brewed into an herbal coffee substitute. You can make a tea infusion of the root as well and it's thought to bring about enhanced psychic awareness and dreams. A steaming cup of this infusion placed by a window is thought to call in spirits. This little plant's reputation of being impossible to get rid of, though who really wants to, and its roots burying themselves deep within the soil are thought to connect this plant to the Underworld and the Goddess Hecate.
