Magickal Uses for Herbs
Herbs by themselves have little magickal power.
In order to practice powerful witchcraft using herbs, the herbs must be infused with power.
This is advanced magick and requires the ability to invoke/evoke and direct the elements.
Each herb carries elemental properties that correspond to its medicinal uses.
These can be found under planetary rulerships.
In addition, to really empower herbs, planetary hours should be observed to amplify any working.
For example, the proper candles act as a beacon to spirits and the proper uses of various:
- colors
- imagery
- herbs
can assist the effectiveness of a working.
Herbs have long been employed in the workings of magick.
Through the power of scent; incense, perfume, herbal oils used for anointing oneself, anointing candles, sigils and talismans; purification bathing before ritual, and with some, ingestion.

- The flower parts are used for scents or in the stuffing of poppets, sachets, and pillows or for a bath water additive.
- The wood parts can be used to construct implements and tools for magickal purposes.
- The leaves are very versatile and can be used in the making of ointments, oils, bathing, and the stuffing of poppets, pillows, steeped and drunk as a tea- MAKE SURE IT ISN’T POISONOUS AND YOU AREN’T ALLERGIC TO IT!
- Aromatic gums or resins, along with the wood, bark, and oils can be burnt as incense. It is always a good idea to burn some incense as a test before any important ritual to determine how well it burns, and the quality of the fragrance. Bad incense can be a major distraction and can ruin an entire ritual, not to neglect in mentioning, being offensive to the spirits.
Incense, like candles, provides a favorable environment for the manifestation of spirits, for the affecting of the psyche and the attraction of the appropriate planetary and zodiac force.
It is essential to coordinate these elements.
Certain scents are employed to act on the mind during ritual.
These odors can stimulate any emotion from anger and extreme rage to sexual arousal and lust, to peace, relaxation, and tranquility.
The use of scents assists in heightening the emotional output needed to give enough power to the working so that it will manifest in reality.

Oil is for anointing one’s body and can be added to bath water before a ritual.

Strong oils can be used to anoint the areas of the chakras and are used in ointments that can be rubbed upon one’s body for certain effects.

These can be made into ointments and used as a rub for one’s body or object of purpose.
The purpose of rubbing oneself with:
- oils
- balsams
- resins
is to induce the proper mood for ritual work.
For example, plants ruled by Mars are:
- fiery
- burning
- acrid
When the oil, balsam, or resin is applied under the armpits or other sensitive areas of the body, it will incite the wrath and hatred needed in spells of revenge and torment, as it will encourage a strong focus on pain and misery.
Plants ruled by Venus can be used in workings of Love Spells the same way, as they stimulate and sooth.
Plants that have properties as aphrodisiacs, causing extreme sexual arousal are good for spell work in inciting lust in another person of choice.
The increased arousal is focused upon the person desired.
With stronger and/or multiple orgasms; the energy thereof, being properly directed into the desired one, the spell is that much more potent.
