1. Mugwort
Lauri Poldre
"Mugwort is a powerful Halloween herb that protects, cleanses and aids communication with our ancestors," explains Lindsay. "At Halloween, our psychic abilities increase as the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest, so I drink mugwort tea to enhance my own psychic abilities and enhance my concentration during my tarot readings."
Celeste agrees: "Mugwort is one of my favorite plant allies. Known for enhancing dreams, visions, and spirit sight, it's a great plant to work with on Halloween—a time when the veil is already thin! You can braid mugwort into wreaths and hang it in your bedroom to increase dream recall and ward against negative energies," she says.
2. Rosemary
Tina Xinia
"As the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest, it is traditionally the best time of year to honor those we have loved and lost, which is why I burn rosemary at Halloween when I am remembering those who have died," Lindsay says. "Rosemary stimulates the mind, so can help to bring back memories of the good times I shared with those I am honoring."
3. Juniper
Katelynn Hilden
"If you're looking to cleanse and protect your home, as was traditional on Halloween, juniper is a great plant to use," suggests Celeste. "It's a great alternative to sage, and carries with it a powerful ability to purge negative energy, entities, and attachments."
4. Rowan Berries
Grygorchuk
"At this time of year, I like to use rowan berries for protection against negative spirits or energy entering my home and to bring good health to everyone living there," Lindsay shares.
5. Hawthorn
László Glatz
"Hawthorn is a sacred tree closely associated with the faerie realm," Celeste says. "In many parts of Europe, especially Ireland, there's a close association between faeries and the wandering spirits thought to roam the countryside on Halloween.” As folk lore goes, "Hawthorn branches can only be brought into the home on May Day, as it's considered very bad luck to do so otherwise," she explains, "but offerings can be made to hawthorn trees on all hallow's eve to deter mischief from the faeries."
