Continuing our working with herbs in Magick. We are going to dial this back so we can study two herbs per week. Understanding the herbs and what their magickal properties are is essential when working magick. When harvesting herbs, always remember to thank the plant for its sacrifice and bless the herb before use in ritual. A simple blessing will suffice, as herbs are part of the Earth.

Aloe



Aloe has a feminine aspect. It is closely connected with the Moon and with the element of Water. In magickal workings, we use Aloe for beauty, protection, peace and success. Known for the healing qualities it can bring, using this herb in magickal working can help to boost any healing energies that you wish to send to the Universe.

When working a magickal healing spell, one could place this herb on the altar and ask the plant to lend its energy to your workings. There is also an element of luck that accompanies this particular herb as it has the ability to heal itself, the plant itself is lucky. But what this herb is most used for in magickal working is protection and healing.

The healing this herb will lend in Magickal working, as it is connected to Water, are to the Ears, Eyes, Stomach and Uterus. If you are having issues in any of these areas, you can ask the herb to lend its energy to help to heal you.

God Herb



Angelica

Angelica has a masculine aspect. It is closely connected with the Moon and Jupiter and with the element of Fire. In magickal workings, we use Angelica for protection and exorcism. Priests have used this herb in their sensors for centuries to rid those afflicted. (Disclaimer: If you are faced with an entity, please reach out to Lady Beltane as she is very versed in this. Do not try to take on this entity alone.) This herb can help to add a layer of protection for you in life.

When working a magickal protection spell, one could place this herb on the altar and ask it to lend you its energy. You can also fashion this into an amulet to carry with you for protection while on the go.

This protection herb can lend its energies for protection, as it is connected to Fire, the protection will go to the Abdomen, Genetalia, Heart and Mind. If you need protection in any of these areas, you can ask the herb to lend its energy to help protect you.

Remember, when using herbs, you have to understand what the herb can do, as well as understand the direction/element that the herb attunes to and the planetary alignment. Remember, understanding comes with research, education and practice.

Blessed Be Brothers & Sisters!
