Magickal Herb of the Week

This week: Mint
(Mentha spp.)

Planet: Mercury
Element: Air
Powers: Money, Lust, Healing, Travel, Exorcism, Protection


Mint's many magickal purposes:
Mint has a long history of healing: to rid oneself of headaches, rub fresh leaves against your head; wear it at your wrist to ward off illness. For money/prosperity, place a few leaves in your wallet or purse, or rub it where you keep your money. Fresh mint on your altar will call good spirits and aid you in magick. Keep mint in your home for protection. Use mint in travel and love spells.

To cure stomach problems:
Fill a green poppet with mint and anoint it with healing oils (although today's antacids probably work much faster!)
