Shadow witchcraft, like many other forms of witchcraft and magical traditions, incorporates a deep reverence for the natural world and the power of herbs in its practices. Within the shadow witchcraft tradition, certain herbs are considered sacred and hold a special place in rituals, spellwork, and healing. These herbs are chosen for their unique properties, both physical and metaphysical, and are often used to enhance the practitioner's connection to the shadows, the spirit world, and the unseen forces that permeate our reality.

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris): One of the most iconic herbs in shadow witchcraft, mugwort is revered for its ability to enhance psychic abilities and facilitate astral projection. It is believed to provide clarity in dreams and aid in connecting with the spirit world.

Belladonna (Atropa belladonna): Belladonna is a potent and highly toxic herb often associated with the darker aspects of shadow witchcraft. It is used cautiously, as it can induce altered states of consciousness and enhance divination, but it must be used with extreme care due to its deadly nature.

Mandrake (Mandragora officinarum): Mandrake is a legendary herb that holds a prominent place in shadow witchcraft due to its associations with powerful magic and the ability to summon spirits. It is considered a protector of the practitioner.

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium): Wormwood is an herb that has been traditionally used in shadow witchcraft for its protective properties, as well as its association with absinthe, a spirit that has inspired many artists and writers.

Datura (Datura stramonium): Datura, also known as "thorn apple," is another highly potent and toxic herb. It is associated with shamanic journeying, but extreme caution is necessary when working with it due to its dangerous properties.

Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger): Henbane is used in shadow witchcraft for its ability to induce trance states and facilitate communication with spirits. Like belladonna and datura, it is a toxic plant and must be used with care.

Wolfsbane (Aconitum napellus): Wolfsbane, also known as aconite, is associated with protection and transformation in shadow witchcraft. It is believed to ward off malevolent entities and is used in rituals that involve shape-shifting.

Nightshade (Solanaceae spp.): Nightshades encompass various plants, including belladonna, datura, and mandrake, all of which have their unique uses in shadow witchcraft. They are linked to altered states of consciousness and spirit communication.

Hemlock (Conium maculatum): Hemlock, another toxic plant, is associated with necromancy and the summoning of spirits. It is used with extreme caution in rituals and spellwork.

Yew (Taxus baccata): Yew is considered sacred in shadow witchcraft due to its association with death and rebirth. It is often used to honor ancestors and connect with the spirit world.

Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa): Blackthorn is a protective and banishing herb, often used in warding off negative energies and spirits. Its thorny branches are seen as a natural barrier against harm.

Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia): Rowan, also known as mountain ash, is considered a powerful protective herb in shadow witchcraft. It is used to ward off malevolent spirits and energies.

Nettle (Urtica dioica): Nettle is used for purification and removing curses. Its sting is seen as a symbol of protection, and it is used in banishing rituals.

Willow (Salix spp.): Willow is associated with the moon and feminine energy, making it a significant herb in shadow witchcraft. It is used for divination and connecting with the cycles of the moon.

Oak (Quercus spp.): The mighty oak is a symbol of strength and protection. In shadow witchcraft, it is used to connect with ancient wisdom and to invoke the energies of the earth.

Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.): Hawthorn is considered a portal to the fairy realm and is used for protection against malevolent spirits. It is also associated with love and passion spells.

Poppy (Papaver spp.): Poppy is used to induce altered states of consciousness and to facilitate dreamwork and divination. Its connection to Morpheus, the god of dreams, is significant in this context.

Broom (Cytisus scoparius): Broom, also known as Scotch broom, is associated with purification and is used to sweep away negative energies and influences.

Juniper (Juniperus communis): Juniper is used for purification and protection. Its fragrant berries are believed to ward off evil spirits and negative influences.

Cypress (Cupressus spp.): Cypress is associated with the afterlife and is used in rituals to communicate with the spirits of the deceased. It is also used for banishing and cleansing.

Hellebore (Helleborus spp.): Hellebore, sometimes called "Christmas rose," is believed to banish evil spirits and protect against their influence. It is also used for divination and dreamwork.

Horehound (Marrubium vulgare): Horehound is used for protection and exorcism. It is believed to repel negative energies and harmful spirits.

Vervain (Verbena officinalis): Vervain is considered a sacred herb that enhances magical abilities and protection. It is often used to purify and consecrate ritual tools.

Mullein (Verbascum thapsus): Mullein is associated with the element of fire and is used in shadow witchcraft for protection, especially against dark forces. Its tall, candle-like stalks are seen as beacons of light in the spiritual realm.

Baneberry (Actaea spp.): Baneberry is associated with the banishment of evil and negative influences. It is often used in protection spells and rituals.

Devil's Claw (Proboscidea spp.): Devil's claw is believed to possess the power to dispel malevolent spirits and curses. It is often used in rituals designed to break hexes.

Monkshood (Aconitum spp.): Monkshood, like wolfsbane, is associated with transformation and protection. It is used to enhance shapeshifting and to ward off harmful entities.

Oakmoss (Evernia prunastri): Oakmoss is associated with grounding and connecting to the energies of the earth. It is used to enhance the stability of shadow witchcraft rituals.

Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana): Witch hazel is used for protection, divination, and healing. Its branches are seen as divining rods to connect with the spirit world.

Skullcap (Scutellaria spp.): Skullcap is associated with psychic protection and enhancing clairvoyance. It is used in rituals to open the third eye and connect with the unseen.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium): Yarrow is used for divination and love spells in shadow witchcraft. It is believed to enhance the practitioner's intuitive abilities.

Vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides): Vetiver is used for grounding and connecting with the earth's energies. It is often used in spells to anchor and stabilize the practitioner's intent.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale): Dandelion is associated with transformation and communication with spirits. Its seeds are often used in divination rituals.

Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa): Black cohosh is used in shadow witchcraft for protection, banishing, and dispelling negative energy. It is believed to have a purifying effect.

Cedar (Cedrus spp.): Cedar is used for purification, protection, and enhancing spiritual connections. It is often used in smudging and cleansing rituals.

In shadow witchcraft, these sacred herbs and botanicals play a crucial role in connecting with the hidden realms, communicating with spirits, and working with the shadows. Practitioners approach their use with a deep respect for the natural world and the mysteries of the unseen, drawing upon the wisdom of these plants to navigate the intricate tapestry of shadow magic. It is important to remember that many of these herbs are toxic and should be used with caution, if at all. Always prioritize safety and ethical considerations when incorporating these plants into your practice. © Dʏsʜᴀɴᴋᴀ/Oᴅᴇᴛᴛᴇ ₂₀₂₃

Recommended tips for research as a beginner witch/practioner:

Research as a beginner can at times feel stressful if you don't know credibilties or anything about the craft really. So, I'm going to share some tips I use in my practice and would recommend when researching witchcraft.

Research what interests you. If research begins to feel like a task instead of genuine interest or fun, there will be problems down the line with researching thoroughly. That isn't to say don't research things that bore you, it means that you should take what resonates with you and from there you can begin to build the framework for your personal craft.

Does the source align with your moral standing and personal beliefs? If the answer is no, time to find a new source. For example, if a source is fully against any harm towards another person and tries to push that narrative on the reader/viewer (or vice versa) and it's not something you personally align with, find another source. The most important example of this is many authors are bigots, terfs or cultural appropriaters. Remember to research the author and their practice before trusting what they have to say.

What may work for some people will not work for you. Do not feel inclined to do everything a certain way as said by a certain practioner. The point of witchcraft is to develop your own habits and outlooks. Crystals and astrology may work best for someone, but you may have an inclination towards herbs and palmistry for example. You do not need to practice every form of witchcraft out there. So circling back to the first point, pay mind to what sparks joy and what aligns with your abilities.

Take everything with a grain of salt. Learn to question what you learn. As witchcraft and spirituality have been practiced in many cultures for many years, things have evolved and been taken from one context to the next. Research various practices and rituals as well as the authors and cultures who promoted said practices

Use multiple sources. Blindly believing one post can be harmful, especially when concerning topics that can be a manner of physical safety (fire hazards, dressing candles, consumption and burning of herbs) or spiritual safety (spirit work, baneful work, trickster spirits). The more research the better, as it solidifies understanding too.

Do not rely solely on social media, but use it as a crutch to what you already know. Many content creators care more about views or aesthetics than educating. But many creators also DO care about what they're putting out there and have genuinely good tips and tricks for various practices. Just be wary.

Don't worry about aesthetics or perfection when you're just learning. Don't let pinterest photos of altars downplay your own craft and beauty. Right now, you're learning new topics and there's plenty of time later to find pretty altar tools or to neatly scribe in a leather journal. Don't let it distract you from research, and ultimately, the goal is to grow.

Have fun with it! There are so many research topics, and it can be as expansive or specific as you make it. Remember this isn't supposed to be stressful, it's supposed to be rewarding.

(Please add your own tips too if you'd like!)

But anyway, before I got distracted by my last post.

Hekate.

I wanted to share some things I've learned about Her.

1) She is The Unseen Witness. This is an epithet I personally have given Her, but which derives from Her role as Persephone's savior and guide to and from the underworld.

2) She's pre-Greek. Anatolian, actually. That's how I personally like my deities—from a localized cult but so powerful they got picked up by a nearby pantheon (Diana is another example of this).

3) She's a goddess that was traditionally worshiped not in temples, but at homes. In my personal experience, She has a LOT of presence in apartments and shelters (especially shelters), as they are inherently liminal living situations.

4) She presides over Dogs and Polecats (like a weasel or ferret) and Horses, so I view Her as a goddess with dominion over all domesticated pets.

5) Hekate faces the three directions the roads lead at a Y- or T-junction, so in my personal practice I understand The Horned God to stand at Hekate's back and watch The Wild Way for Her. On my altar I have my representation of The Horned God facing away from me. Hekate did call me a sneak for that one, though, so YMMV.

6) I get the vibe she doesn't like to share altar space so she'll be getting a bookshelf of her own soon. You can use keys, the triple moon, and various momento mori (like bones, or the charm I made with a sprig of dead rosemary and a beetle carcass) to represent her in an altar space.

7) Herbs and Plants: Garlic, Yew, Mandrake, Dandelion, Belladonna, Cyclamen, Hemlock, Mint, Oak, Date Palms, Willow, Wolf's Bane. You'll notice many plants in her domain are poisonous or otherwise baneful. To this extent, she presides over all baneful plants.

8) She basically requires you to prioritize self-improvement and learning. Therapy and working out and reading and journaling can all be devoted to Her.

9) UPG but I also associate Her with mushrooms, moths, foxes, and rose thorns. She is carrion birds and the rust that eats at iron. She is the dark side of the moon and She likes it that way.
