The Cat’s Meow: Catnip Magical Properties and Uses

Close-up on catmint with purple flowers in bloom.

The Magic of Catnip

There’s something curiously amusing about observing a cat intoxicated by the scent of catnip. As the feline’s eyes widen and pupils dilate as if stimulated by drugs, they cannot resist the magic. As such, a cat will roll around on the floor, writhing as if seized by some hypnotic trance.

Catnip is Relaxing

Catnip is a magical plant indeed for both felines and humans. While the plant’s scent proves intoxicating for cats, catnip exudes relaxing, powerful energy for humans. Thus, consider the herb when you need to calm both body and mind.

Attracting Love with Catnip

As suggested by its heart-shaped leaves, catnip is also said to attract love, and you can include in love sachets along with rose petals for this very purpose. Give catnip to your beloved feline friend to foster a powerful psychic bond between you.

How Catnip Strengthens Friendship

As a friendship-building exercise, hold some catnip in your hand till it’s warm, and then hold the hand of the person with whom you wish to build an everlasting bond. Be careful to store this enchanted piece of catnip you’ve used in a safe place to ensure the magic will last.

Catnip Attracts Both Cats and Kind Spirits

When grown near the home, catnip not only attracts the intrigue of the neighborhood cats but good-tempered spirits. It also entices the winds of good fortune, which can be helpful for you and your abode. Hang some catnip over your doorway for a similar effect.


Repelling Insects with Catnip

Catnip has convenient applications as an insect repellent, which makes it incredibly useful to grow near or within the home. The plant itself is a natural mosquito and fly repellent. Furthermore, you can sprinkle catnip oil around the house to repel insects like cockroaches and termites.

Enticing Beneficial Insects with Catnip

On the flip side, when grown in the garden, Catnip will attract the presence of butterflies. Similarly, catnip oil has a compound within it that attracts lacewings. Like butterflies, lacewings also benefit your garden as they fend off aphids and mites.

European Folk Medicine and Catnip

While the advent of modern-day pharmaceuticals often tempts us to forget, Catnip was once famous for its medicinal effects. There was an appreciation well into antiquity for its ability to calm and soothe, especially as part of European folk medicine.

Catnip As Native American Medicine

Native American tribes such as the Cherokee and Iroquois appreciated Catnip’s gentle medicinal effect yet potent soothing power. They trusted it to heal the ails and aches that often accompany childhood complaints. Native Americans also used Catnip to soothe colic in infants in a way that not much else could.

Some Cats Are Immune to Catnip

Interestingly, not all cats fall prey to the intoxicating magic of catnip. About one-third of all cats are immune to its spell, thanks to a hereditary trait. Moreover, catnip isn’t the only plant that seems to have this magical power over the feline kingdom, as cats react similarly to valerian, silver vine, and Tatarian honeysuckle wood.

Cats of All Size Love Catnip

It’s not just domesticated cats that are affected by catnip, but ferocious wild felines such as lynxes, cougars, and leopards. Lions and tigers are sometimes entranced by catnip as well, but…only sometimes.

Mint Medicinal Benefits

Mint’s cooling, soothing power can fight off infection, lessen inflammation, and ease cramping, muscle spasms, and dull pain. It is virtually a panacea and a healing force to be reckoned with.*


Mint in Greek Mythology and Lore

Mint gets its name from the Greek word minthe, the name of a beautiful water nymph, or naiad, in Greek mythology. The naiads presided over the river Cocytus, one of the rivers surrounding Hades’ domain, the Underworld.

Minthe and Hades Fall in Love

With their habitats being in such proximity, it was only inevitable that the King of the Underworld, Hades himself, may have happened upon this beautiful water nymph. Hades found Minthe stunning and grew attracted to her. The feeling was mutual, as Minthe was attracted to Hades as well.

Persephone Tramples Minthe

Nonetheless, their budding relationship did not please Hades’ wife, Persephone, and she became jealous. Persephone sought out Minthe and trampled her underfoot with all her might once she located her. Miraculously this did not manage to kill the nymph, as Minthe transformed into an herb to protect herself.

Minthe Survives Persephone’s Assault

Again and again, Persephone tried to snuff out Minthe’s life force by trying to crush the plant but to no avail. Each time Persephone stepped on her, Minthe in her plant form would simply emit a sweet, minty aroma. This persistence hearkens to a prominent property of the Mint plant – it’s quite hard to kill!

It is generally safe to ingest Pennyroyal in tea, but don’t do so for a prolonged period. Pregnant women should avoid ingesting Pennyroyal as it can lead to miscarriage and early labor.*

The Wisdom Herb: Sage Spiritual Meaning and Magic

Close-up of a sage plant.

The Magic of Sage

Sage is an herb favored in magical and spiritual practice — and for good reason. The plant has a plethora of powerful magical applications. Among the myriad of energies Sage embodies, it is associated with protection, purification, immortality, and mourning, as well as wisdom and the granting of wishes.

Sage and Mental Clarity

Sage most notably corresponds with wisdom and mental clarity. This attribute is further expressed by the fact that Sage is represented by the element of Air and has Jupiter as its planetary association, both of which deal with matters of the mind and thought.

Is Sage Good for Memory?

Even back in the 1500s, Sage was believed to improve brain function. Herbalist John Gerard in Herball, a book on botany, referred to Sage as “singularly good for the head and brain, it quickeneth the senses and memory.”

How to Take Sage for Memory

Simply sniffing a sage leaf has been shown to improve mental clarity. Similarly, ingesting sage also yields benefits for mental processes.*

*(See FDA Disclaimer)

Protecting the Mind With Sage Magic

Place some sage at the base of a blue candle and burn the candle to dispel melancholy and mental malaise. A little sage left to dry on your altar space can help clear the mind and ready it for magical workings.

Sage Prevents Nightmares

Sage also offers its power to protect the mind from negative energies, making it especially effective in driving off nightmares when placed under the pillow.

Sage and the Passage of Life

Sage is also associated with mourning and the passage of life. Burning sage at funerals and in the home after the passage of a loved one can help with the healing and overcoming of grief. A mojo bag with Sage in it can also help towards this end.

A sage plant growing near other herbs in a garden.

Attracting Wealth with Sage

Sage can be used in the procurement of abundance and prosperity. A mojo bag with a bit of sage does wonders towards this end.

Wishmaking with Sage

Have a wish that you would like to see fulfilled? Write your wish on a sage leaf and tuck the leaf under your pillow. If you have dreams about that wish for the next three days, it is said that the wish will come true.

Sprigs of sage resting on a white cloth with red stripes.

The Immortal Power of Sage

It’s not surprising that Sage is associated with immortality, considering all of the curative and healing abilities it contains. A famous Italian proverb states, “Why should a man die who has sage in his garden?” There is an Old English superstition that if you eat Sage every day in May, you will live forever.

“The Salve”

Sage’s scientific name, Salvia, comes from the Latin salveo, which means “to heal” or “to save,” and its close resemblance to the word “salve” is no coincidence.

Sage Healing Properties

Eating Sage can contribute to many health benefits that may help you live longer, such as improved immunity, defense against chronic disease, and prevention of diabetes.*

From a chickweed salve that can soothe burns and clear skin disorders to a chickweed pesto recipe that can help with weight loss, it only takes a little resourcefulness and creativity to realize the power, magic, and healing that lies within chickweed.


Chickweed and the Magic of Balance

Chickweed seeks soil that has balanced conditions. It does not like soil that is too acidic or too dry. However, if the conditions are right, chickweed can grow anywhere, from compost heaps to cracks in the sidewalk, as long as the conditions are balanced enough for it to thrive.

What Chickweed Tells us about Relationships and Community

Chickweed prefers to grow in groups and clusters. Still, even within these clusters, each flower maintains its individuality and survives and thrives in balance with every other sprig of chickweed it shares its space with.

Chickweed Teaches Us Balance Within Our Relationships

A close-up of chickweed flowers with purple flowers blooming in the background.

How Chickweed Teaches us the Power of Persistence

Chickweed is very difficult to get rid of. Removing it from an environment can require repeated tilling during dry weather, completely burying the herb, or plowing it under just as Winter arrives. Even then, there are no guarantees you will have to rid yourself of her.

The Remarkable Endurance of Chickweed

In chickweed’s persistence and stubbornness, you can see it express its enduring and persevering energy. Her seeds can remain fertile and germinate for up to 40 years, and even under the thickest blanket of snow, she can still survive and thrive. Only the harshest frost is enough to take her down.

Chickweed’s Protective Power

Chickweed has a characteristic thin strip of fur that can only be found along one side of the stem. This fur strip provides a modicum of protection for this very strong plant. Her white petals also express the protective energies laden within the plant.

A close-up of a very green chickweed plant in bloom.

Magical Ways to Use Chickweed

Chickweed is connected to Lunar energies. It is connected to women’s cycles and is even used as an herbal remedy for menstrual aches and pains. Chickweed’s scientific name is Stellaria media, which means “mid-sized star,” due to its star-shaped petals.

Love and Chickweed

Chickweed Encourages Fidelity
