Whether you are an herbalist, healer or Witch it is important to develop deep relationships with the plants you choose to work with. Understanding their historical context and applications will amplify the effectiveness of your abilities. We know that the sheer number of plant types scattered around ritual spaces, tea shops, essential oils, and inside poultices & potions, can be intimidating, which is why we created this guide to help! In this blog we will be focusing on the burning of sacred plants for smudging and energy clearing.

As we begin to develop our relationship with sacred plants, their magic will flow through our lives in all areas. This relationship begins with clearing your mindspace and setting a clear intention. Ask yourself, what are you searching for in your life? Does something need healing? Perhaps a space or emotion needs protecting? Maybe you're looking for a boost to to goals you set out during your Fall Equinox intention-setting ritual? Go ahead and peruse our other blogs for help with setting your intentions.

The benefit of using sacred plants in place of Crystals to clear a space is simple: Plants have a stronger, more active connection to emotions given their closer tie to life. Crystals are amazing storers of energy and information, while Plants can more quickly diffuse negative energy when tied to a clear intention. With Halloween upon us, we are going to introduce a few of our favorite plants for rituals.

Rose is the Queen of all flowers. Despite being most recognized by their alluring Red color, these flowers can be found in an assortment of colors each representing something different. Black roses fuel mysticism and Magic, while Yellow represents friendship and connection. Red represents deep love and affection, Orange energizes passion and desire, and Pink petals spread joy and gratitude. If enchantment is what you're looking for, try Lavender flowers -- or White if you seek purity and new beginnings. Consider which flower color best aligns with your intention to ensure you maximize the effect of your rose petals. And don't worry, drying your own is very simple! Add fresh or dried rose petals to any sacred smudging stick or burn over a charcoal and enjoy the aroma.

Haling from South America, Palo Santo gets its name from the Spanish language name of the trees from which it's harvested. Often used in meditation to promote protection and energy clearing, Palo Santo wood has become the standard incense for new and experienced incense burners alike. Whether you're looking for a time-tested method of clearing your space or the powerful blessings of good fortune bestowed upon those who use Palo Santo, you won't be disappointed. To use, simply set your intention, light your stick using a steady flame or candle, and then gently blow out the wood upon ignition. Clear you mind, and enjoy.

Known as liquid gold in some circles, this resin comes from the Boswellia tree found in North Africa, India and south Arabia. Used for removing negative energy, burning Frankincense offers extended psychic and emotional protection while also boosting your spiritual awareness. Available in both a resin and dry stick form with no discernible difference in properties between the two types. Frankincense is commonly burnt singularly to release anxiety and stress.

Named after its decadently sweet scent, sweetgrass is believed to bring positive energy and attract good spirits. This amazing plant growing zone ranges from Alaska to Newfoundland and in parts of Norther Europe. This sacred herb is often braided following the Native American tradition of the three-strand braid, representing love, kindness and honestly. Used to simultaneously restore positive energy, while clearing negative energy. Burn sweetgrass by itself or with other sacred plants (between you and me, there is no better combination of aroma than White Sage and sweetgrass together!).

Reviews for "Tapping into the Elemental Energies of Herbs in Spellwork"

1. Emily - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to read "Spellcasting with magical herbs" as I had heard great things about it. However, I found the book to be extremely basic and lacking in depth. The information provided was very basic, and I felt like I could have found the same information with a quick Google search. I was hoping for more advanced techniques and unique spells, but sadly this book didn't deliver. It might be useful for someone who is completely new to spellcasting, but for someone with even a little bit of experience, it will be disappointing.

2. John - 1/5 stars - To put it simply, I found "Spellcasting with magical herbs" to be a waste of my time and money. The book was filled with inaccurate information and questionable claims. The author seemed more interested in promoting their own products than providing valuable knowledge. The spells mentioned were generic and lacked any real substance. I would not recommend this book to anyone serious about the practice of spellcasting.

3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was hoping that "Spellcasting with magical herbs" would offer practical and insightful guidance on incorporating herbs into spellcasting. However, I was left disappointed. The book seemed more like a marketing tool for the author's own herb shop, rather than a valuable resource. While there were a few interesting tips, the information could have been condensed into a much smaller pamphlet. I would suggest seeking other, more comprehensive sources on herbal spellcasting before picking up this book.
