Is an ancient magical plant that played an important role in folk medicine. Mullein plants stand tall with their bright yellow flowers shining sparks of light and it has the same effect upon us, showing us how to stand on our feet, deep rooted in the ground and projecting up above with confidence in our inner values ✨ Helps us overcoming falsity to ourselves and the others. It was one of the most important plants in ancient rituals and ceremonies. Used as a sacred smudge, both to cleanse spaces, people or objects and to send prayers and set intentions through it’s smoke. In the same way tobacco is used.
It is the archetypal wildflower of inner light. It is no coincidence that its dried stems were used as candles. It clears the mind of trivial pursuits, enhancing the ability for us to hear our “inner voice”, and has an empowering effect helping us reach to our full potential without being overshadow by other people or beliefs. It is a powerful ally to keep away unwanted negative entities.
