Yerba Santa (Holy Herb): Known for its intense purifying properties, it is burned as incense or used in cleansing rituals to ward off negative energy.
Pirul (Peruvian Pepper Tree): A staple in Mexican folk magic, its branches are used for ritual sweeping (limpias) to remove heavy, lingering, or negative energies.
Espanta Muerto (Ghost Chaser/Scare the Dead): Utilized in strong protection workings, reversing curses, and repelling dark or unwanted spiritual entities.
Ruda (Rue): Frequently planted or used in baths for protection against the "evil eye" (mal de ojo) and breaking curses.
Albahaca (Basil): Used to draw love, peace, and financial prosperity to the devotee, and to neutralize negative environments.
Romero (Rosemary): Used for deep purification, protection, and mental clarity or remembrance.
Tabaco (Tobacco): Often blown as an offering to the Saint or included in ritual baths to clear away bad habits, hexes, or stubborn blockages.
Salvia Blanca (White Sage): Widely burned in smudge bundles or incorporated into offering mixes to bless and purify the altar space.
Mandrake Root: Deeply tied to the occult and chthonic (underworld) energies due to its human-shaped roots and association with the earth.
Yarrow: Often used in occult oils and workings surrounding protection and the bridging of duality.
Devil's Claw Root: Frequently included in occult and satanic herbal blends as an offering or symbolic component.
Sandalwood: Utilized in anointing oils and incense for Baphomet to promote meditation, balance, and focus.
Chamomile & Comfrey: Herbs aligned with earthly balance, healing, and harmony between opposing forces.
Bay Laurel (Bay Leaves): Used for centuries in ritualistic offerings, manifestation, and esoteric wisdom.
Plants associated with lilith
Plants associated with Lilith reflect her dual nature as a symbol of the dark feminine, shadow work, sexuality, and independence. They include night-blooming, intoxicating, and fiercely beautiful flora used in modern altars and witchcraft.
Lily (Dark & Black Lily): A core symbol of her association with the underworld, death, and nocturnal magic, often found in statues and depictions.
Lotus: Represents spiritual unfolding, rebirth, and blossoming wisdom. It holds deep meaning for Lilith by symbolizing beauty emerging from the "shadow" self and dark, decaying earth.
Rose: White and red roses are highly favored. Red roses invoke passion, sexuality, and raw desire. White roses can represent pure, cold, and untamed sensuality.
Poppy: Historically linked to opium, this flower represents the trance-like state, dream magic, and an escape into "slumber".
Datura: A powerful, highly toxic nightshade plant associated with dark magic, astral travel, and Lilith's dangerous, seductive qualities.
Pomegranate: A classic symbol of the underworld, blood, fertility, and unapologetic sexuality.
Apple: Represents forbidden knowledge, autonomy, and the untamed desire to experience the sensual world.
Mugwort: A staple herb in witchcraft used for divination, enhancing psychic dreams, and protecting the shadow self.
Wormwood: Known for its use in absinthe, it reflects her intoxicating, bitter-sweet, and hypnotic influence.
Mandrake (Mandragora officinarum): Also known as "Satan's Apple," this poisonous root often grows in a bifurcated shape resembling human legs. Folklore claims the roots scream when pulled from the ground.
Datura (Datura stramonium): Famously called the "Devil's Trumpet" or "Hell's Bells". This highly toxic hallucinogen has a long history of use in shamanic and trance practices.
Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger): Known as the "Devil's Eye". It contains potent neurotoxins once used in medieval "flying ointments" and Viking rituals.
Belladonna (Atropa belladonna): Also called Deadly Nightshade, its dark berries and toxicity made it a staple in witches' brews and dark magic.
Monkshood (Aconitum): In Greek mythology, it was said to have sprung from the toxic saliva of Cerberus, the three-headed hound guarding the gates of Hell.
Devil’s Claw & Devil's Club: Plants noted in botanical folklore for their spiked leaves, hooked burrs, or club-like, menacing appearances.
Names are to be sung/chanted in this order:
For the first bowl you take the leaves of the wild lettuce with an herb of each one of the deities and crush them together in your mortar and pestle
Combine the crushed herbs together in your burning bowl/offering bowl with your own blood (using a razor/knife is a bit messy, if you can get a hold of a diabetic needle or lancet that would be more optimal)
Once the offering bowl is ready combine into the bowl a flammable mixture such as hand sanitizer, oil, or alcohol
Create a second bowl where you have harvested the milk/sap of the wild lettuce and the boiled essence of the combination of the the four deities chosen plants (the choice of the herb for your ritual is chosen by each deity through individual meditation to them before you make your selection)
Once the milk/sap is combined with the deities herbal essence extract you are to use a red dye for coloration and symbolism, this dye can be either store bought food coloring or a natural red dye of some sort
Begin the ritual by stripping yourself of all your clothes and standing/kneeling/or sitting in front of a mirror or reflective surface
Light the offering bowl and begin singing/chanting each deities name as such:
Santa Muerta, Santa Muerta, Santa Muerta, Santa Muerta
Baphomet, Baphomet, Baphomet, Baphomet
Lilith, Lilith, Lilith, Lilith
Satan, Satan, Satan, Satanas
Repeat the singing chant until you feel the energies flowing and are satisfied with the flow of underworldly current in your ritual space
Next take your hands and dip them into the essence bowl that is not burning
As you let your mind go let your hands cover your body in the essence of the herbs of each deity in fluid motions
Once you have been covered by the herbal essence sit in front of the mirror and let yourself fall into a deep trance
