Herb of the Week – Mullein (Verbascum thapsus)

Mullein is one of those herbs that grows in profusion in its natural habitat. Ruled by the planet Saturn and the element of fire, this plant has many magical as well as medicinal uses. It can grow to a height of more than 6 feet, featuring broad, wooly leaves and a spike of yellow flowers.

Many traditional herbalists have learned the value of mullein for lung conditions such as emphysema or asthma. It can be brewed as a tea, made into a tincture, or even smoked. Mullein is an astringent as well as being an emollient.

Folklore often refers to the dried plant as a candlewick plant or witch’s torch. It is known around the world for driving away evil spirits, In France, it was believed that passing or burning mullein around a celebratory bonfire on Mid-Summer’s Eve would serve to protect herds through the coming months. Dried mullein leaves placed in a sachet under the pillow can keep away nightmares.
For the odd spell that calls for graveyard dirt as an ingredient, mullein is an excellent substitute and eliminates the possibility of angering the spirits of the cemetery.
