Top 5 Herbs to Incorporate in Your Spellcraft

1. Rosemary

Yes, like in Practical Magic but don't let its popularity fool you it truly is a useful herb to keep on hand. It's one of those all-purpose herbs that lends its self to pretty much everything and bonus its super easy to grow your own.

2. Bay

Yes bay leaves, the ones you probably keep in your kitchen cabinet (at least that's where mine are), they're super powerful and work amazingly for simple manifestation spells. In ancient times they were commonly used for inducing visions and increasing your psychic awareness.

3. Chamomile

Super popular in a tea but more is also great for spells its association with the sun makes it perfect for health and abundance spells. It's uses dates as far back as the ancient Egyptians. They often used it in their mummification rituals and many cultures used it in treatments for many early diseases. It can even be used for protection and dreaming and is typically easy to find.

4. Blue Vervain

Much less popular than the previously mentioned herbs but has definitely earned its rightful place on my top 5 list. Druids believed it to be one of the most sacred herbs second only to mistletoeand in Christian mythology its believed to have sprouted at the base of the cross during the cruxification of Jesus to stop the bleeding from his wounds. My personal favorite way to use this herb is to brew it into a tea and use it to purify my space but it's also great for things like protection, healing, love, and luck.

5. Mugwort

If dreamwork and astral projection is your thing you'll definitely want to keep some mugwort on hand. It can be used in a tea to increase psychic awareness, burned as an incense when doing divination, or simply placed under your pillow. My favorite time to use it is during meditation when I'm in search of answers or feeling stuck.
