What your Herbs Say!

What Your Herbs Say About Your Mental State

Witches love their herbs.We label them, dry them, hoard them in tiny jars like emotionally complex squirrels.But the herbs we reach for when we’re spellcasting?

Oh hunny, those herbs say everything.

So sit down, open your apothecary drawer, and let’s psychoanalyze your witchy ass.

Mugwort

You're not just witchy—you’re overstimulated by spirits.

You’ve been dreaming, scrying, and probably astral projecting into your neighbor’s attic.

Put the mugwort down and drink some water.

And maybe sleep… like, on this plane.

Wormwood

You’re pissed. And honestly, it’s beautiful.This isn’t mild irritation.

This is burn-it-down-and-dance-on-the-ashes energy.

You’re not casting a spell—you’re issuing a spiritual eviction notice.

Lavender

You are trying so hard to be calm, but your altar smells like nervous breakdown in bloom. You tell people you’re just “grounding,” but we both know you’re one passive-aggressive email away from a hex.

Stop lying to yourself. Add wormwood.

Rose Petals

Oh no. You’re either in love or trying to fix a situationship with majick.

This herb says: “I can change him if I manifest hard enough.”No you can’t.Save the rose petals for self-love. Burn the thread with his name on it instead.

Black Pepper

You’re spicy. You're DONE. You’re that witch who doesn’t bother with moon phases anymore—you hex at the speed of rage. You are the reason demons take PTO. And I respect it.

Basil

You’re broke.That’s it. You’re financially panicked and trying to manifest money with salad ingredients.Look, I love basil too.

But maybe upgrade to a black salt bottle with some vinegar rage. Go big or go broke.

Chamomile

You're trying to soothe yourself through a curse hangover.Your magic worked too well and now you’re all “love and light” as you mop up the aftermath.Chamomile is for guilt tea.

Drink it, journal it, and don’t apologize. You did what had to be done.

Cinnamon

You’re in your “power bitch era.”You want success, sex, and spiritual dominance.And you’re gonna get it—with heat.

Cinnamon says: “I came here to set goals and set fires. And I’m all out of goals.”

Conclusion:

You think you’re choosing herbs.

But really?

Your shadow chooses first.

So next time you reach for that jar, ask yourself:

Am I casting this spell for power—or to avoid therapy?

Either way, you’re valid. Just don’t mix lavender with wormwood unless you want a vision and a breakdown.

Now go check your jars.

They’ve been watching you.
