An herbal magick grimoire of philtres, elixirs, essential oils, incense, and formulas with dozens of recipes from a trusted author.
Herbs have been used for medicine, magic, and ritual for centuries. The ancient arts of herbal alchemy and herbal magick combine the healing and energizing effects of herbs (roots, leaves, flowers, resins, and essential oils) with the cycles of the natural world―the astrological movement of the stars and planets, and the cycles of the earth’s seasons.
In this easy-to-use compendium of herbs and their energy associations, master herbalist and magick practitioner Karen Harrison offers formulas anyone can use to obtain courage, creativity, lasting health, prosperity, and enhanced psychic and spiritual powers.
Harrison shows how to select herbs based on their astrological associations as well as their medicinal properties. With a materia magica of more than 150 herbs and a multitude of recipes, readers will learn how to blend incense, ceremonial oils, bath salts, herbal amulets, fluid condensers, and herbal philtres and how to use them in meditation, ritual, or energy work.

The Herbs and Their Planetary Signatures

In medicinal terms, the Sun could be considered the great restorative. Even as the returning Sun allows plant life to flourish on the Earth, the herbs attributed to the Sun act to restore health and vitality. They stimulate and balance the human health system that suffers from either excess or deficiency.

The Planet Mars has a bad reputation, as it is often associated with destruction, impetuous action, strife, and aggression, but these are qualities that Mars expresses when its energies are not in balance. These energies are also those that protect and vitalize.
The Herbs of Jupiter – Prosperity and Honor
Energies: expansion, career, ambition, luck, material success, spiritual growth, humor
Color: royal blue
Number: 6
Metal: tin
Stones/materials: sapphire, turquoise, blue topaz, lapis lazuli

Herbs: agrimony, borage, carnation, cedar, cinquefoil, dandelion, figs, fir, hyssop, linden, magnolia, maple, meadowsweet, oak, oak moss, pine, poplar, saffron, sage, sassafras, sumac, rosin, wood betony
The energies of our largest Planet, Jupiter, are represented and expressed in the vocations of ruler, magistrate, philosopher, village elder, or priest and priestess. Jupiter is the Planet of the All-father in many pantheons, and the corresponding properties of generation, mercy, expansion, and beneficence are consistently fulfilled by the herbs attributed to Jupiter.
Herbal Amulets and Magickal Potpourri
Herbal Amulets are combinations of herbs, resins, and essential oils along with special stones, written wishes, and any other natural power object you like (such as a shell, acorn, or feather) gathered into an appropriately colored pouch for a ritual purpose. Herbal Amulets are also called medicine bags, power bags, mojo bags, and sachet bags in different folk cultures.
If you choose to include a written wish, try to consolidate that wish into a short phrase or word that encompasses the goal. It should not be a paragraph or article. Let’s say that your goal is a better job with more pay, more creativity, and lots of perks. You don’t need to write all that—just write “perfect job” and you can meditate on and infuse the paper with all the things that you believe would go into a perfect job as you are writing your wish, I have found that if you state your goals concisely but leave a bit of the goal unstated, the Universe has an uncanny way of bringing you exactly what you need.
