Dandelions are a wonderful addition to any witch’s garden, and their magickal uses are many. Dandelion magick is all about the sun. Dandelions are one of the first flowers out in spring and they stay until fall. Dandelion roots dig deep into the ground, bringing up the vital energies of Mother Earth. The white puffy prominent blooms blow in the breeze, catching headwinds around the world and spreading abundantly.
Dandelions add a little bit of sunshine to every spell, but they have even more uses than that. They are also used for protection from dark magic or spirits that seek to harm us. Their magical correspondences are many, including: fire (the sun), earth (the root system) air (the seeds floating on the wind), protection, happiness, masculine energy, the planet Jupiter, good luck, and wishes granted.
Add a handful of dandelions to any spell for an extra burst of solar power. Dandelions are also used in money and prosperity spells, as their abundance is said to represent wealth.
Using The Dandelion’s Flower In Magick
The correspondences of this plant depend on which part of the plant you use. The flower can be associated with love, healing, strength, courage, joyfulness, hope, friendship, loyalty, and faith.

Alternatively, you could carry around some dried dandelions in a sachet to attract love into your life.
If you need healing energy, place some fresh or dry dandelion flowers on your altar or somewhere else in your home where they will not be disturbed.

- Luck
- Happiness
- Divination
- Protection
- Travel
- Communication
- Wishes
Collect puffballs through spring and summer and blow the seeds in the wind to release your wishes to the universe. For luck, carry a dandelion puff ball in your pocket or keep one near your front door. To increase happiness, put a few seeds around your home or place of work. For protection, carry them with you when travelling and sprinkle some around your property.

Sleep with the puff ball next to your pillow and in the morning, blow the seeds into the air. Your dreams will be prophetic for a number of days after.
To use dandelion puff balls for communication, whisper what you need to tell another person into the puff ball and release the seeds. The message will be carried on the wind to them.
