Herb of the Week – Juniper

Botanical Name: Juniperis communis
Folk Names: Gin Berry, Gin Plant, Geneva, Ginepro, Embro
Gender: Masculine
Planet: Sun
Element: Fire
Deities: Isis, Shango, Dionysus, Amun, Odin
Magical Uses: Protection, Love, Gambling Luck, Love, Exorcism, Health, Purification, Anti-Theft

This is one of those herbs that should be in every magical apothecary. Juniper has been used for millennia in many parts of the earth for protection and healing. Placing a handful of juniper berries in a bottle of whiskey or wine and allowed to steep for 1 month can create a male virility tonic.

Similarly, women would steep the berries in vinegar, straining it after a month and adding it to the bathwater or do**he to increase male desire for her. They would then spread the berries from the concoction into the eastern part of their yard to bring a new lover to them.

Native Americans sometimes call these cedar berries, and they can be a part of the sacred herbs used for purification and protection. Overall, it is believed that the scent of juniper or cedar can be very purifying.

Carry a sprig of juniper leaves or juniper berries in a medicine pouch to break curses and to increase your psychic abilities. If you are making a love incense, adding a bit of juniper can give it that extra oomph!

Herb of the Week: Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris)
Folk Names: Artemis Herb, Artemisia, Old Man, Uncle Henry, Sailors To***co
Gender: Feminine
Planet: Venus
Element: Earth
Deities: Artemis, Diana, Neith, Yemaya, Isis, and Ogun
Magical Uses: Consecration, Prophetic and Lucid Dreams, Healing, Astral Projecton, Consecration of crystal balls and other visionary and/or magical tools.

This herb is one of the best known and certainly one of the most important in every magical practitioner’s herb cabinet. Some common names include Sailor’s To***co, Felon Herb, St. John’s Plant and the Witch’s Herb. During this time of the year, it is particularly helpful for spirit contact when the veil has thinned.

Mugwort was also considered one of the sacred herbs of the Druids. So sacred was mugwort, that according to legend, without this herb, Druids would cease to be if it was no longer available to them.

This herb is ruled by both Venus and Neptune and is connected to the astrological signs Ta**us, Libra, Capricorn and Virgo. Mugwort is considered a visionary herb.

You can create a ritual incense using mugwort, star anise and resinous herbs such as frankincense, myrrh or dragon's blood. Be aware that the latter resin tends to be a bit smoky and is known to set off smoke detectors. (Hardly conducive for ritual concentration!)

Beyond its healing properties, mugwort when drunk as a tea or used in incense blends, is reputed to have the ability to open up the senses, particularly those of intuition. The Celtic Peoples of Scotland and Ireland believe that mugwort has the ability to teach us all about the other plants and herbs around us.

If mugwort grows around your home, consider it to be a very protective herb. A bunch of mugwort hung in one’s magical or working space can ward off any negative energies. This could include wandering spirits, and unsavory people as well. It is a great substitute for censing or smudging in place of Sage, in particular, White Sage (Salvia apiana). If using mugwort or any other herb that you ignite, be sure to have a bowl, plate, shell, or other fireproof receptacle to catch any herbs that may fall onto floors, animals or people.

You can chew a pinch, or approximately 1leaf before meditation or going to bed, or brew a bit of the herb as tea. An infusion of mugwort can be used to aspurge or cleanse a space, magical tools oneself. Mugwort is particularly helpful as a wash in children’s rooms.

Mugwort can be placed in a muslin bag and used as a sleep pillow. Place it under your pillow or at your bedside or headboard. Placed in a medicine bag along with a bit of comfrey root and a St. Christopher medal and carried on one’s person it can help keep travelers safe, particularly in foreign lands or when venturing away from home.

Traditionally, mugwort can be smoked. For those with respiratory issues, however, smoking anything can potentially cause problems. Also, this herb should be avoided by those who are pregnant or nursing. Please consult your physician or other healthcare professional before using this herb internally.
