Herb Magick: Feverfew
Feverfew, Tahaietum parthenium
Also known as featherfew, the planet Venus rules Feverfew. Its element is Water, its direction is West, its day is Friday, and its magickal power is To Dare. Feverfew’s energetic effect is receptive, feminine, and passive; and its associated Deities are Venus, Freya, Frigga; Anael (angel), and Hagith (Olympic Spirit).
Use in Rituals, Spells, and Magickal Workings
The flowers/petals, leaves, roots, and seeds from the Feverfew plant can be used in magickal workings, fresh or dried. Its aroma is very pungent, and the wind spreads the seeds everywhere. Feverfew is used in magickal workings to promote harmony, love, and romance. It’s useful in dreamwork, trance work, and to include in smudges.
Magickal Methodologies
- Fresh or dried Feverfew flowers can be used whole on the altar or workspace during magickal workings.
- Dried Feverfew flowers or roots can be added to mojo or charm bags and then carried with you to influence a desired outcome.
- Dried or powdered Feverfew petals can be added to a simmer pot or the top of a candle (pillar, votive, tea light) during dream or trance workings.
- You can also anoint a candle with oil and then roll the candle in crushed leaves or dried blossoms.
- Make a Feverfew infusion with the flowers, or you can decoct (simmer) the root, and then use the infusion (or decoction) to paint on a small piece of parchment paper or runestock to enhance a working. For example, paint the infusion on a piece of runestock (or parchment paper rolled into a small scroll) prior to creating a bindrune to carry with you or to invoke rune magick.
