7 Easy Herbs Every Green Witch Should Grow

 

 

 

 

Plants are wise companions. They ask little but give so much — healing, protection, and spiritual support. Learning to grow and use sacred herbs can be the start of a deep, nature-rooted practice.

1. Lavender – For Calm and Clarity

Lavender is soothing for the mind and spirit. Use it in tea, dream sachets, or baths to release anxiety. It thrives in sunny pots and dry soil — a forgiving herb for beginners.

2. Rosemary – For Protection and Memory

This sun-loving herb is associated with remembrance and energetic protection. Burn dried rosemary for a smoke cleanse or place it by your front door for spiritual protection. Great for windowsills and garden borders.

3. Peppermint – For Energy and Flow

Peppermint refreshes both body and spirit. Use it in herbal teas or sprinkle leaves in your workspace for mental clarity. It spreads easily — ideal for containers to keep it under control.

4. Thyme – For Courage and Strength

Once worn by warriors, thyme carries the energy of resilience. Add it to stews or carry a sprig in your pocket before tough conversations. It loves the sun and drains well in rocky soils.

5. Chamomile – For Peace and Sleep

This gentle herb invites rest and soft dreams. Steep the flowers as tea or tuck them into your pillow. Chamomile self-seeds readily and grows well in pots or garden beds.

6. Sage – For Wisdom and Clearing

Sage is revered for its cleansing properties and ability to sharpen focus. Burn dried leaves with care or brew as a grounding tea. Common sage prefers sun and dry, well-aerated soil.

7. Lemon Balm – For Joy and Emotional Balance

Bright and uplifting, lemon balm soothes frayed nerves. Use fresh leaves in tea or bathwater. It grows in clumps and spreads cheerfully in partial shade.

Each of these herbs offers more than scent or flavour — they offer relationship. Tend them with care, and they become allies in your magick, healing, and growth.
