How to use herbs in your spiritual practice
Just as with other forms of natural magic and energy, each herb has specific properties that correspond with certain things. That’s why it’s important to know which herbs are right for the magic you are seeking to use.
If you use the wrong herb in your spell, you are missing out on its natural powers, and sometimes you could actually be counteracting what you are trying to do.
So, if you are performing a spell to increase your relaxation and rest, you won’t want to use the astragalus root, which promotes energy.
As witches, we seek to be in tune with and work in conjunction with the natural world as much as possible. We know that the universe has spread energy and magic, and we need only learn, discover, and practice to harness that power.
Working in conjunction with natural resources is a great way to ensure the efficacy of your spell. Learning about herbs and each one’s magical properties is essential if you want to amplify your spells and abilities.
