What Is Herbal Magic?

Herbal magic is the use of herbs for occult purposes. There are many different types of herbal medicine. Some people believe that certain plants have magical properties. These beliefs can be found in all cultures throughout history.

Herbs have been used for thousands of years in folk medicine. They can be found growing wild, cultivated or grown in greenhouses. Some herbs are native to certain parts of the world while others were brought over from other countries. Many herbs have been used for medicinal purposes throughout history.

But this folk tradition extends to magical purposes as well. Tales of plants being used to woo lovers, to banish ghosts or demons, and to improve lives have been passed to us from thousands of years in the past. This practice involves the use of herbs and plants in magical rituals and spells.

What Are Elemental Correspondences?

Elemental correspondences aren’t necessary for most spells, but they can be extremely helpful to boost the effectiveness of a spell or ritual. Because of that, it is helpful for witches to learn everything they can about the elements and how to call them.

An elemental correspondence is a relationship between two plants that share similar properties or that relate to other entities such as planets or deities.

Here are some ways to figure out whether a plant is ruled by Air or not:

Planet correspondencesIf the plant is ruled by Mercury, Jupiter, or Uranus, they will usually be Air plants.
Physical characteristicsTall plants that touch the sky, rootless plants like mosses, and anything that has a seed that travels by air will probably be an Air plant.
WeightIf the plant is lightweight, it is probably an Air plant.
FragranceIf the plant smells fresh, clean, or is especially aromatic, it is likely an Air plant.
GenderThis one is a little weird to me, but Air plants tend to have a masculine nature. This is easy to tell if the plant is phallic!
Growth tendenciesIf the plant is prolific or grows especially fast, it is probably an Air plant.
ColorYellow plants are most likely to be Air plants.
