🌲Red Juniper🌲

Eastern Red Cedar or Red Juniper, is a juniper tree that can grow in all types of conditions. Different types of Juniper trees are known to grow all over the world. Their history and use goes back centuries in different cultures and religions.

Juniper is often used for protection, purification, wisdom, prosperity, ward off evil and bad spirits, funerary rites, aid in psychic abilities, to protect barns and animals, protect the home, and so much more.

These Red Juniper Smoke Bundles were put together by hand from our red juniper tree on our property. They are tied together using natural jute string. Once these bundles dry completely they will be available for sale in my shop! 🌲

Would anyone mind helping me out? I’m making a protection charm for my friend and I have very few herbs in my house. Would anyone happen to know some great common herbs for protection and guidance?

Protective Herbs

It’s always nice to focus on good energies in the spirit world, but it’s also extremely important to know how to protect yourself against evil spirits and other demonic entities; especially if you’re extremely sensitive.

Some may debate about how well herbs work, however they are incredibly helpful; especially when used correctly.

Agrimony: A defensive herb used to banish evil spirits.

Amaranth: Used for protection - there are conditions for using it properly. You have to pull the entire plant under a full moon and wear it close to your skin under your shirt. This is for extreme issues, such as physical attacks. 

Angelica: Protects your home from evil spirits. Sprinkle it in the four corners of your home.

Asafetida: Burn this to drive away demons or other nasty spirits. You can pair this with an abalone shell bowl. It’s no wonder why this herb works, it stinks!

Bay Laurel: Can assist in communicating with spirits and is also used for protection against those that mean you harm. Said to be a must for all funereal wreaths, as it helps put to rest wandering spirits. 

Betony: Sprinkle it on a pillow (or keep inside of one) to protect your dreams from psychic attacks. It is also said to help with nightmares.

Blackberry: Deemed as a powerful plant, blackberry can be used in a wreath that you place on your front door. Making the leaf with ivy and rowan makes it a powerful shield against evil entering.

Cacao: Said to put restless spirits at ease. 

Clove: A powerful protective herb. When worn it protects from evil spirits, you can also place it above or by a crib.

Cumin: Mix with salt to create protective barriers in your home. Sprinkle on window seals and at doorways to keep evil from entering.

Garlic: Another protective herb. It’s best to put it with your doorway wreath and to use other protective herbs along with it.

Mullein: Well known in the sensitive community, it is a powerful herb which drives away demons.

Oil Of Abramelin: A critical mixture in driving demons away, used in more extreme cases. Pour the oil in a circle around yourself (or others) to protect against physical attacks by demons. To make, use equal parts of cinnamon, myrrh, and galangal. 

Sage: One of the first things most people think of when it comes to protective herbs. Burn sage and smudge the home while using an abalone shell bowl to clear away negative energies. If you’re extremely sensitive it can be useful to do this once a month.

Day 2

Daily Practices achieved:

Watered plants + did dishes

Homecoming cleansing

Work done:

I finished reading the Magician's Tables for notes. 

I made a whole list of all the protective herbs and incenses, but I do not think I am going to use them. Studying herbs feels like a whole new course to me. I find "Amaranth is protective" in a book, and I feel...and?

Firstly - why? What's the history here? Is it a specific cultural practice, like "bay leaves for prophecy" comes from the oracles in Greece? Is it a think that I need to be working within a particular system for?

And how do I use it? Does it only work in one specific way? How do I get in tune with a plant enough to use its properties wisely?

And is it safe? I'm not going to trust a Tudor-era list of plants for their properties. 

Anyway, here's the list in case you find it useful. I will only copy up my incense notes by request, as I have no sense of smell so will not be using them myself. 

(these plants are originally listed with their Crowley association on the tree of life, with a note for their "modern Wiccan correspondence", which is what I have copied down)

This probably isn't going to work...

But to assuage a friend's concerns about my ghost, I humored her and made a mojo bag with "protective" herbs and rocks.

I did some research, so if it's real, it would be like the metaphysical equivalent of screaming GTFO BITCH in Ghosty's ear.

Of course, I am a FAITHLESS INFIDEL. So I'm doubting hard.

Let's see how this turns out.
