WITCH HERBS FAQ

HOW DO I USE HERBS IN WITCHCRAFT?

Herbalism is an ancient and proud tradition in the history of witchcraft and is practised today by modern Wiccans and Pagans. Herbs are essential for spellwork and in many cases, herbal alchemy simply requires the knowledge of what they do and how to use them.  Herbs can be used for healing, conjure, banishment and cleansing rituals to invite luck, good fortune, confidence and love into your life.

Herbs can be burnt on a charcoal disk in a cauldron or incense burner, placed in an offering bowl upon an altar, mixed into herb blends or potions or cast into a bonfire. Their use depends on the specific spell or ritual as well as which tradition you're following. If you're unsure where to start, there's plenty of reading material available to guide you on your journey.
