Honestly, to choose 10 herbs would require being familiar with them in the first place so I'm afraid I wouldn't be much help.
I would love to learn about how widespread a single herb type was in use "This is native to all of the Eastern European continent and the British Isles but was not used in Arabic or Icelandic cooking (or to protect fabric, or clean, or whatever). It is dormant during these months 'X-Z' so doesn't find much use in these holy-day periods, yet was savved, dried to be used by [insert culture here] as it had a specific religious connotation..."
