Blessed Be Pagans! Back again for another round of the Herbal Grimoire! As I stated last article, we are
going to continue to jump around a bit and not continue in that Alphabetical order (that’s just boring).
This week we will explore two herbs that have been used not only in Pagan practice, but in Christian
practice for Centuries!
Goddess Herb – Myrrh
Myrrh has a feminine aspect. It is closely connected to the Moon and Jupiter while associating with the
element of Water. This herb is used for cleansing purposes. The Magickal qualities for rituals is
protection and consecration. The Christians or Catholic Church use this in combination with other herbs
to perform exorcisms. This is because of the cleansing and healing qualities of it. The energies that
come from this herb can lend itself to the Universe for Spirituality, Transformation and Healing.
Myrrh has been widely used in Pagan practices for centuries before the Christian movement for many of
the same purposes. Uses for consecration of tools to help with prosperity for forging and harvesting as
well as protections for the home and hearth. Myrrh has many medicinal uses as well, but I would
suggest contacting a Nutritionist or an Herbalist or even a Naturopath to understand that aspect of this
herb.
When using Myrrh in spellcasting, understand that this herb will not just graze those it passes when sent
out into the Universe, but will embrace and protect those it touches. So, when in Spellcasting or
Magickal working, remember your intentions must be pure, as you can affect millions. If your intentions
are not pure, what you send, with that deceit, will come back to you threefold.
God Herb – Frankincense
Frankincense has a masculine aspect. It is closely connected with the Sun and the element of Fire.
Frankincense is actually referenced in the Bible as a key ingredient in the holy incense. This is the
incense that God asked Moses to make in Exodus for the Ark of the Covenant. This is also, as was
Myrrh, presented to Jesus by the Three Wise Men as they acknowledged the Child of the Divine.
In Christianity, it is actually said to be forbidden to use as a personal incense. Which is why the Churches
used it, as then it signified the gift to Christ. However, in Pagan times, for Centuries before Christianity,
and during and till now it is widely used for its powerful energies that help guide meditation, for its
purity in cleansing sacred spaces and to aid in reaching a spiritual mindset. Frankincense is also used
consecration for tools for Magickal Altars.
Understanding the power of these two herbs and the historical significance is huge. More research by
you should be paid to these two highly popular and very usefull herbs. These two herbs, used in
combination together during Spellcasting or Magickal working can have an enormous impact on the
energies you are raising.
One used of these two in combination would be Drawing Down the Moon. These two herbs can allow
that connection with Lady Luna to amplify. But remember, when Drawing Down the Moon, one MUST
ground after the ritual. This will bring you back to the Earth and will also help to direct he energy that
you will gain from that process to the Earth and to all of its creatures, may they be plant, animal or
human.
Blessed Be Brothers & Sisters!
Happy Spellcasting!
