Pagans, Wiccans and Witches use magical herbs to enhance their magic work, spells and rituals. You can use magical herbs for all kinds of purposes. For example, if you are working with prosperity, you must choose herbs associated with prosperity. As many herbs have similar properties, you can mix them to intensify their potency and that of your rituals or spells.

Each herb has planetary and elemental correspondences. These correspondences give specifics properties/functions to your herb. It’s is essential to know the five elements and how to combine compatible herbs for your magic work. These elements are fire, earth, metal, water and spirit. By instance, many herbs for love have the elemental association with water, and several of them have the planetary correspondence of Venus.

Herbs can be used in different ways: they can be worn on the body, carried as an amulet, placed into sachets, added to baths, burned on charcoal, used as an incense or in infusions. In the same way, you can fill the poppets with your herbs.

Good to know: in witchcraft, the term "herb" is used as a catchall for wood chips, spices, flowers, and generally speaking, for plants used by Wiccan and Witchcraft adepts for their magical properties.

NOTE: Some magical herbs should never be used in a culinary way. NEVER INGEST herbs that are not produced as food.
