Wiccan practitioners often include a guide for the magical correspondences of different herbs, a list of herbal substitutions for spellcrafting, and a reference section that lists the various herbs used in Wiccan practice. Some common herbs include chamomile, oregano, chamomile, ginger, and apple. These herbs are used in various ways, from creating calming teas to casting spells for protection.
Herbs like chamomile are cherished for their gentle nature, offering peace and attracting money, while ginger is used to “heat up” spells. These herbs are woven into the fabric of Wiccan practice, and they can be used in rituals, spells, teas, and infusions. Each herb has its own unique properties and can be used for various purposes.
For beginners, it is recommended to use Rock Salt, Black Pepper, Rosemary, Cinnamon, Lavender, Rose, Mint, Chilli, Garlic, Basil, and Bay Leaves. The beginner’s guide to practicing Wiccan herbal magic with simple and easy herb spells is also available.
Additionally, the green witch’s “down to earth and inspiring” guide to over 100 methods for magical healing, including herbal infusions and home remedies, spells, and more, is a valuable resource for those interested in incorporating herbs into spells, rituals, and divination.

First-let’s all agree that your articles are a work of art! A visual experience I have to enjoy viewing at least TWICE (the first view I’m simply carried away by the beautiful cinematography, the second view I can appreciate the intense value you pack into your content). I grew and dried a number of my own herbs this summer and you’ve given so many delightful recipes I can’t wait to try. I’ve been trying to get away from incense for the reasons you shared and this is very doable!
I am absolutely obsessed with your articles. You have such a happy way of explaining everything you’re doing, showing us in such beauty how and tbh, I’m a sucker for good history. You don’t hold back on educating us on the traditional reasons why these things are done. So much fun perusal your articles and all your beautiful baking and decoration making. 🥰🥰🥰
Lovely article and thank you including smokeless and low-scent alternatives. I used to use smoke cleansing a lot, but have recently developed a chronic respitory condition which makes it impossible (thanks covid…) So I’d been struggling, but these look like they could be easy to carry out! You said you would leave a link for your love diffuser, but I don’t see it?
Hi Bexs my favorite love doing my herbs smudges it smells so wonderful I love my herbs and thank you so teaching how to make the cones I was very interested in learning how to make them one of my favorites is Dragon’s blood incense I loveeee the scent and sandalwood basically any scent that has my beloved herbs in it lol have a blessed night love and light 💖😘🤗
Every day when I make my To-Do list I put, “Watch Bek’s yule article” on it since you started this hashtag. You are enchantingly addictive, my friend and the best part is that you’re not a fattening treat! I use my herbs in recipes but, also, grind them and mix them when I make candles or infuse oils for salves.
Thank you so much for these gorgeous articles and the joy and fun you’re bringing to us during this difficult time in the world. I’m loving your website and learning so many new things! Thank you also for checking in on your neighbor, it means so much right now. Blessings and good health to you and your family. ♥
I had to make time, I need a Bex Happy Place fix, lol. Dear Bex! (commenting as we go :D) In my lineage the island folk practice of ‘smoking’ a space or person was very much a combo of healing and spiritual/ritual workings. They weren’t seen as different. Mama would smoke the house before major pujas/rituals, we also did it for clearing the space of spirits that were unwanted, and setting up guards and protections, but also as you mentioned for offerings to the ancestors of blood, land and Spirit. We also did a malju body smoke and/or oncha (honestly, I don’t know how to spell any of these, our tradition is an oral one so I’m using the best phonetic wordings I can🤪) which I will probably share in the new year ;). I started making my own incense a few years back because I have such a sensitivity to the toxic substances and artificial scents in so many store bought ones. It’s also when I discovered that even natural herbal smokes can hold natural allergies for you as well, so contra indicators can still exist 🙂 I did some research before I started and went the Japanese way. I was already familiar with some of their practices when I switched to using Bamboo charcoal and white rice ash for burning loose incense :), so Makko is my base. I love those three different coloured ones you made! Okay I better keep perusal so I can find out what they are! — Scent sensitivity, yeay! Thank you for mentioning that, heehee, totally smiled 🙂 — Thank you for the tips on cleaning the sieve!
I’ve been looking for just this kind of information for a long time now–especially info about cleansing materials that Europeans used for purifying/cleansing one’s living space (via smoke or not), equivalent to Native Americans’ use of sage bundles. I have a couple of those, but I’m looking for information on what people used in Europe, as this is much closer to my ancestral cultures. Thanks very much for this article; I’ll likely have to watch it several times to absorb all the content! 🙂
NON SMOKE TIPS Did you people know that you can boil herbs as well? just using water and herbs on the stove? make sure that if you have animals, to use ONLY herbs that are safe for your animals to consume, please read about how the herb are behaving after consumption for that animal, for example lavender can both regulate your stimulation system AND overstimulate it. for an instance the dosage for a small dog diet is a pinch a use – and if you blast your house with lavender smoke, that could be harmful for them and make them feel very uncomfortable and even intoxicate them to the point of poisoning in rare cases, sometimes animals can have an allergic reaction to some herbs. so please be honorful of your housemates AND your herbs of use, their guidance of use is very helpful and brings context into their magic. I throw one small fistful of herbs like lavender, rosemary, and chamomile to cleanse my home, you can also add a pinch of sage to give an extra oompf, and a cup of water into a boiling pot, turn the stove on the lowest setting, and it will humidify your place with a nice aroma!
As an open wiccan I’ve done things but I’m doing a love spell went to a wiccan store now I know I have to burn the herbs with an incense I got everything a crystal when I was at the store I gave the workers a big hug very friendly people I’m nervous but calm also love your voice your so calming!!!!! Bless-ed be and merry meet!!!!
i really need help. I’m just starting off my journey with herbal magic and the book that I have mentions thyme and it’s properties. And right now I really need to make thyme infused water, but I don’t know how to. Do I just boil water with thyme in it, or do I just put the thyme in water? I’m feeling unwell and the book says “make an infusion of thyme in water, let cool, and use to cleanse any rooms whose energies need to be refreshed from illness…” Or do I start off with a protection spell before I do anything else? I have so many questions and I’m probably going to binge your website for more info
