Herbalism is the practice of working with plants, herbs, and the like to create salves, remedies, teas, and potions for the purpose of healing and connecting to the realm of the divine. Sacred herbs are used in rituals, spellwork, for cleansing, and more.
Why Does Herbalism Matter?
Herbalism is a powerful way to connect with Mother Nature, the energy of plants, and the natural remedies and magickal energies readily available to us in the great outdoors. Herbalism can be used in countless ways magickally speaking.
How Can I Practice Herbalism?
Start by learning everything you can about herbs and plants that are native to your area. Learn about what is edible, what is toxic, what is poisonous, and so on. Study both the scientific and magickal associations with the plants and how you can implement them into your practice based on your intentions. For example, rose petals are excellent for ritual baths, planting rosemary bushes is great for protection for your home, and calendula is great for skincare and beauty.
