Juniper Berries | Witchcraft Herbs

Intentions: love, good luck, protection, visions, wisdom, prosperity, clarity. 

Juniper Berries (Juniperus communis) have been our closest magical plant ally since Neolithic times. 

Juniper is said to have the power to ward off evil. No demons or devils could withstand its power, not even the demons of disease: fumigating a space with Juniper will kill off germs and purify the air in a sick room.

When the Black Death ravaged Europe, Juniper was one of the most promising and effective protectors. 

Similarly to Yew, it was believed to nourish the spirits of the deceased until they were prepared for rebirth. As a result, they were frequently cultivated near burial sites. Country folk respected Juniper so highly that they would tip their hats in passing. This mystical ingredient is credited with a myriad of abilities, including the retrieval of lost items, protection against dangerous creatures, and defence against spells of weakness and dizziness, to name a few. 

You will receive 20gm of Juniper Berries in a 12 x 20cm pouch. Keep in a sealed container away from direct light, heat, and humidity.

SAFETY: Consuming juniper berries are generally considered safe, but there can be allergic reactions, drug interactions and possible toxicity when consumed in large quantities. Pregnant and breastfeeding women, or those with urinary tract or kidney problems should avoid consuming. Consuming large amounts of juniper berries (uncommon) has been proven to be toxic.
