Agrimony: not actually the name of a Greek philosopher, Agrimony spends its time as the unsung hero of magical defense. If you’re out there trying to reverse curses or block negativity, Agrimony’s your ride-or-die. Often used in sleep aids, it’s the herbal equivalent of a weighted blanket—except instead of cozy comfort, it’s more like a magical brick wall full of NOPE. Smells kinda grassy, like a meadow on a breezy day, if that meadow were secretly plotting to be the ultimate buzz kill.
Correspondences:
Agrimony is linked to the element Air, which makes sense because it’s got that sweet little, “I’m just a tawdry little herb” vibe and because it starts with ‘A.’ Associated with luck, sleep, and spell reversal, Agrimony is basically the magic world’s equivalent of an emergency brake. It’s also used to break spells cast against you—so next time you think someone’s throwing shade your way, make a cup of steaming hot Agrimony tea and throw it at the bridge of their nose. Or you could let the herb do its thing.
Magical Uses:
Agrimony is perfect for those moments when you feel like you’ve been jinxed or hexed by the Universe — or by that neighbor two doors down who hates your flock of black, plastic flamingos. Screw that guy.
It’s especially good for shielding and reversing spells, so here’s how to use it when you need to send some negativity boomeranging back to its source:
- Write down the situation or person you think is hexing you. Try not to name your ex, but hey, no judgment.
- Stuff that paper in a sachet with Agrimony leaves, because nothing says witchcraft like shoving plants into tiny bags.
- Hang it above your bed to keep the nightmares away or carry it with you like a magic shield. A magic shield reinforced with the power of Ziploc®️.
- Let Agrimony do its thing—breaking spells, sending curses back, and hopefully giving you some peace of mind.
- The chant is simple: “Not today, Satan.”
