To benefit from the effects of a herb, flower, root, bark, or seed in magic, it is essential to follow a few steps and use it properly according to your intention. Please note that the herbs we offer are intended solely for magical use and must never be ingested (some are toxic!).
First and foremost, purification is essential. Take the plant, whether it is a herb, root, or flower, and carefully pass it through the smoke of white sage, palo santo, or any other purifying herb. This process removes any negative or neutral influences it may have accumulated. Make sure the smoke surrounds it on all sides.
Mojo Bag
Mojo bags (or gris-gris bags) are small fabric pouches used primarily in hoodoo, but they have found their place in other forms of magic. Each mojo is prepared with a specific intention: protection, prosperity, love, luck, etc...
To create a mojo bag, choose the plants and herbs that correspond to your magical goal. Once the herbs have been selected, place them in a small fabric pouch, often accompanied by crystals, roots, or other symbolic objects. The mojo is then "activated" by wearing it or keeping it in a dedicated space, while regularly repeating affirmations or prayers to maintain its active energy.
Spell Jar
Spell jars are enchanted vials into which you place various ingredients to manifest a specific intention. Dried plants, herbs, and roots are added according to their specific properties and act as amplifiers for your spell.
Spell jars are then sealed and placed in a significant location - whether in your home, office, or even buried near your home to prolong their effect. They can also be shaken or touched regularly to reactivate their energy.
Fumigation
Certain plants (not all; we indicate this on the relevant product page) can be used for fumigation. To do this, simply place a small amount on a lit charcoal disc and put it in a cauldron or dish. The effects will then spread around you and remain active for several hours.
Offering
Offerings made from dried plants are a way of paying homage to spiritual forces, deities, or the Earth itself.
When offering dried plants, choose those that correspond to the energy or deity to which you are making the offering. You can also create herbal blends and place them in bowls, burn them on charcoal, or bury them near a sacred tree.
