How to Use Herbs and Spices in Witchcraft

With tips for Lower-Class Witches

Dec 24-25.

Disclaimer:

Inspired by my recently acquired Montreal Steak Spice.

Please correct me if I'm wrong on anything!!

I will be using herb as an umbrella term for many plants and plant parts

Always, always research the plants mundane properties before anything. It may seem fine but it might be toxic to burn, for example.

Disclaimer over.

--

When it comes to herbs and spices, I often see the correspondences of the herb or spice and nothing else- never the why or how - so that's what I'm doing with this post!

--

Kitchen Witchery

This one is pretty obvious I think, but using herbs and spices in kitchen witchery is an idea!

Tea Magic

You don't have to go out to a metaphysical store for this (a plus for poorer witches). Grab some tea bags you have at home (or buy some if you wish) and consider the herbs and spices in a tea bag. An example would be some Tetley Chai Tea (not sponsored). About $4 CAD, and it includes black tea (strength, energy) and cinnamon (abundance, health, money, protection to name a few) could be a "strong health", "strong financial stability" or "strong protection" spell. You could even amplify this tea spell with some of the things I like to put in my chai tea, which is honey - about $5 CAD (health, happiness to name a few) and maple syrup - about $8 CAD (money).

Will note, maple syrup is expensive, the 8 dollars above is for a 375 mL bottle.

Pantry Raiding

As said in the disclaimer, this post was inspired by some spice mix I have acquired from a family member. Roughly $10 CAD for the container I got, which is a bit more expensive but at least I got it for free! It's a Clubhouse Montreal Steak Spice (not sponsored), I havent used it yet for any witchcraft (or at all tbh) but from what it seems it is a perfect protection powder(?). Its got garlic, onion, mustard, salt, sunflower oil for protection and a bit of red pepper for an extra kick!

What I'm trying to get at here, is you don't need fancy spices or herbs for witchcraft. Dollar store sells herbs and spices even, just raid your pantry and you should be set! Some examples for herbs and spices would be:

Parsley (beauty, happiness, love, money, prosperity, protection, success)

Garden Sage (banishing, happiness, health, prosperity, protection, wisdom)

Rosemary (beauty, communication, love, protection, rest)

Thyme (communication, luck, money, prosperity, rest, psychic ability, success)

Candles

Ah, candles, a classic. (Will note, people talk about candle magic so much that I can barely find any information on other types of spells... If anyone reading this has any links or info about methods of spellwork other than candles, jars and bags that would be splendid!!)

Side note aside, there's a few ways you could incorporate herbs and spices into candles (always research if it is safe to burn a herb or spice before burning it!!)

Anointing Oil

This one is pretty simple, and the process depends on whether you want to bring something in, or kick something out. This one doesn't directly use herbs, but you could definitely roll the candle in herbs afterwards.

For bringing in you would want to start rubbing the candle outwards in. I'll put a diagram soon on what I mean.

For kicking out, you would want to start rubbing the oil in the middle and then push the oil outwards.

Rolling Candles

This step requires you to anoint first (so that the herbs actually stick to the candle)

Essentially, you anoint the candle, and then sprinkle herbs on a flat surface and just roll the candle on it.

Please do not put too much oils or herbs on the candle. Fire safety, everyone.

Other Methods

Miscellaneous methods that dont really fit in categories, go!

Smoke Cleansing Sticks

Essentially you burn dried herbs in a bundle. Commonly referred to as smudging, but smudging is a closed practice.

Bathing/Showering

You put herbs in a cloth bag over the shower head, or you essentially bathe in tea? I'm not that knowledgeable on bathing rituals (barely have the spoons to shower in the first place half the time 😅) so I suggest you, the reader, read up on this yourself.

Bags and Bottles

With bags it's best to choose a corresponding bag colour and fill it with herbs and spices of your choice. Bottles are similar except it's generally advised to seal the bottle with wax.

Conclusion

So that's it (probably)! I hope you were inspired to do some deeper digging in your research!

Canning

I am sweating waiting for the canner to cool down so I can unload the jars of chili sauce. The canner will (eventually) cool down. No word yet on whether I will cool down. Ever. It is hot. The chili sauce is chock-full of cumin and garlic and chili pepper and cayenne powder and paprika and bell pepper and onion. All pureed in with many, so many tomatoes. It smells divine.

Rue

Rue, also called ruta or the Holy herb, is one I grow in my garden and keep in my witch’s herb cabinet. It’s exorcist and purification powers are strong. Use it in uncrossing work, protection magic, and to ward off evil spirits. Traditionally, it was used in Four Thieves Vinegar to ward off illness including the Black Plague. Be careful when handling, as it can irritate the skin in some people.. Chamomile

Ever had a cup of chamomile tea to help soothe a sore throat or calm your nerves in the evening? Chamomile is known for its medicinal qualities, but it’s also amazing magically! Chamomile is associated with the sun, so I use it often in abundance and health workings. It’s a great one to have in the witch’s herb cabinet.Rosemary

You’ve heard it once. You’ll hear it again. If you don’t have rosemary on-hand, you need to! It’s one of those all-purpose herbs that you can literally use for any kind of magic. I grow rosemary and make it into smudge bundles to cleanse my space. I also use it in herbal baths, magical meals, and natural hair care. Get you some rosemary, witch! Bonus: it’s super easy to grow!3. Bay

Many people have bay leaves right in their kitchen cabinet and don’t realize how powerful they are. In ancient times, they were used to increase psychic abilities and induce visions. Write a wish on a bay leaf and burn it. Add to spell bags and herbal offerings to Greek and Roman gods. I use it in my cooking often to enhance sauces and meat dishes. If you can grow your own bay tree, even better. The fresher the bay leaves the stronger the effect

The magic of herbs and spices around the home

This is my first post shared to Tumblr, hoping the witchy community will give it a read and make me feel welcomed!

Using herbs and spices outside the kitchen. Greetings Ladles and Gentlespoons! Did you know that while herbs and spices are popular for flavoring and preserving food, they are also useful in other parts of the house? For this blog post, we will be focusing on using herbs and spices to clean the home. While some of the natural remedies I have found are a little outdated and struggle to compare…

#Herboristerytips : Where can you find herbs pt.2/2

Hi there, it's Ash ! In this page, i will continue my advices about finding herbs and incences. If you haven't read the first part yet, i invite you to, it's where i give all of my free tips ^^. Let's imagine know, that you specificly need a plant that you don't own and cannot find outside.

My first advice is to go looking in your local supermarket, in the spice aisle.

You can find a large panel of dried plants and spices, which is perfect for conservation, and the larger pots are quite often the better economic option that you can use in cooking and witchcraft. You can also check the infusion aisle : be careful, however, to choose infusions without artificial flavors, or blends with other plants that you don't need. Some aromats are selling fresh too, it could be useful on a very ponctual use, however, the price is higher compare to the dry ones. If you cannot find some of the plants you need, you can try specialized supermarket that sells different kind of spices than the regular ones, like asian or middle east supermarkets. You can also find some plants at some drugstore/pharmacy, but they are a little more expensive.

Another option, if you have some outdoor space, is to go to a plantshop.

I recomand you to buy the plants of the herbs you use all the time. You could have an illimited acces to it, for a quite cheap price if you think about it :you will have to possibility to dry them for autumn and winter, and use them fresh during spring and summer. But, there is an implicit requirement : you have to keep your plant alive : if you are not a great plant-parent, this solution might not be for you, however, we can only be learning if we try...

We enters here into the more expensive stuff ; herboristery and witchcraft oriented shop.

Don't get me wrong, I love those kind of shop. But, their products are way more expensive, and when you use a lot of plants in your daily pratice, you cannot fill your apothicary at those places all the time. You will however find a almost exhaustive good quality herbs and incences that you cannot find elsewhere. You can also get some great advices, that will help you to pick the most appropriate herb for your projet.

Well, dearest reader, this is where my list is ending. For the person who needs to know : yes, i volontarely did'nt include any kind of websites in this checklist. The reason why ? I don't use that kind of approvisionement. But, if you do, and that your happy with the quality of your herbs; please, share the name below ^^ Until next time, take care,

Ash
