Chickweed

Chickweed is a wonderful little plant that's often overlooked, but it definitely shouldn't be! We love using chickweed in our practice because it has so many magical properties.

Chickweed is a small, delicate plant with tiny white flowers that's often found growing in gardens, lawns, and along paths. It has a gentle, nurturing energy that can help to soothe and heal both the body and the soul.

In herbal medicine, chickweed has been used for centuries to treat a wide range of ailments, including respiratory issues, skin problems, and digestive troubles. It's also believed to have a cooling and soothing effect on the body, making it great for reducing inflammation and promoting relaxation.

In terms of magic, chickweed is often used for its protective and healing properties. It's said to ward off negativity and promote emotional healing and spiritual growth. It can also be used in love spells, as it's believed to help attract and maintain healthy relationships.

So if you're looking for a gentle, nurturing plant to add to your magical toolkit, look no further than chickweed!

Our Chickweed comes in a sealable bag with a weight of 14 grams (0.52oz), and was packaged with gloves. We recommend doing a skin test to make sure you are not allergic if you plan on using Chickweed topically.

Ancient Use of Chickweed:

Chickweed has a rich history of use in both ancient lore and traditional herbal medicine. It has been used for centuries in Europe and Asia as a medicinal herb to treat a variety of ailments, such as respiratory problems, digestive issues, and skin irritations.

In ancient Greek mythology, chickweed was associated with Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and fertility. It was said that Demeter used chickweed to nurse her daughter, Persephone, back to health after she was abducted by Hades.

In Old Magick, chickweed is often used in love spells and to attract good luck and money. It's believed to have a powerful energy that can bring abundance and prosperity into one's life.

How to use Chickweed:

Chickweed is such a magical herb with protective properties to keep negative energy and spirits at bay. You can use it in rituals to create a shield of protection for you, your home, or your belongings. One fun way to do this is to make a protective sachet by filling a small cloth bag with dried chickweed, bay leaves, sage, and rosemary. You can carry this sachet with you or place it in your home for a strong protective barrier.

Did you know that chickweed is also great for soothing and healing skin irritations? And it's perfect for spiritual healing rituals to promote emotional and physical well-being! You can create a healing bath by adding a handful of dried chickweed to your bathwater. Relax in the tub and visualize the healing energy of the herb washing over you.

Oh, and chickweed is not just great for physical healing, but also for matters of the heart! It's believed to have a gentle and loving energy that can help attract love and strengthen existing relationships. You can add dried chickweed to a love sachet or mojo bag with other love-drawing herbs like rose petals, lavender, and damiana.

Chickweed is connected to the element of water and is believed to have an energy of abundance and growth. You can use it in abundance and prosperity rituals by creating a money-drawing sachet or mojo bag, or by sprinkling dried chickweed around your home or business to attract abundance and success. Isn't chickweed just amazing?
