Happy Solstice! Here's a caravan of stoats in their winter finery, for the occasion.
Gaultheria procumbens / Eastern Teaberry at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens at Duke University in Durham, NC
Wintergreen
(Gaultheria procumbens) Safe to interact with.
Folk Names: Checkerberry, Mountain Tea, Teaberry. Gender: Feminine. Planet: Moon. Element: Water. Powers: Protection, Healing, Hex-Breaking.
Magical Uses: Wintergreen is placed in children's pillows to protect them and grant them good fortune throughout their lives. When sprinkled in the home it removes hexes and curses, especially when mixed with mint. Wintergreen is also utilized in healing spells, and when fresh sprigs are placed on the altar they call good spirits to witness and aid your magic.
