Magickal Folk Names for Herbs

Having knowledge of herbs and plants (either magically or medicinally) during the Middle Ages, often was reason enough to accuse a woman of being a “witch,” so there is no doubt some of the country folk at the time took these herbal folk names literal.  Chances are, these names were used merely as descriptors to help remember them easier.  Most plants were given names descriptive of their uses and others were given names for something they generally resembled. Spells written by witches in ancient times were often written with such descriptors, which personally i believe to be a form of secret coding.

Here is a small list of “witchy” herb names (most of these are already floating around the community) that you can use in your craft when you create your spells.  This list could be a great addition to any Grimoire and i hope you find them as useful as i do.

Enjoy ~~~  Cannawitch

Finished🖤 The most beloved of the planets is Jupiter. Even in the dark ages, when astrologers saw the planets in much stricter terms of black and white, Jupiter was called the Greater Benefic, meaning that it grants greater blessings. Modern magicians and witches have drawn from this concept. Ritual magic describes Jupiter spells as bringing boundless good luck and prosperity. It expands all resources and blessings. And it does, but the power of Jupiter is far greater than mere good luck.- excerpt from Christopher Penczack’s book on planetary magic.
