Agrimony as the Premier Mirror Herb in Folk Magic
Agrimonia eupatoria is a long-standing reversal and return-to-sender herb in European folk magic, and it is also used in hoodoo. Known historically by folk names including Fairy’s Wand, Garclive, and Church Steeples, agrimony does not merely block harmful energy, it reflects it back to its source. Anglo-Saxon herbalists called it Garclive and credited it in wound remedies, and that same sealing quality translates metaphorically into its magical identity: agrimony seals negative intentions, turns them around, and sends them home. Few herbs have such a clear role in return-to-sender folklore.
Jupiter rules agrimony, and its Air elemental correspondence gives it the quality of clarity and directed force rather than passive protection. Practitioners reach for agrimony when a spiritual condition feels actively malicious, when something has been deliberately sent rather than accumulated through bad luck. It is a regular ingredient in uncrossing baths alongside hyssop and rue, in reversal candle work dressed with uncrossing oils, and in floor washes that sweep out hostile influences from back door to front threshold.
Bulk Applications: Baths, Washes, Candle Work, and Sleep Sachets
Medieval European lore held that agrimony placed under a sleeping person would induce a deep, unbreakable sleep until removed, and the herb still carries dream-protection associations today. Placing a small sachet of agrimony under the pillow wards off nightmares and intrusive spirits during sleep, a practical use that pairs well with lavender for a calming, protective dream sachet. This dual function, aggressive reversal work during the day and protective sleep work at night, makes agrimony one of the most versatile defensive herbs in the practitioner’s kit.
The 1 lb bulk is sized for practitioners who use agrimony across multiple modalities: floor washes require a full steep of several tablespoons, ritual baths need enough for a concentrated infusion, and maintaining a steady stock of pre-made sachets and candle rings means going through material quickly.

How to Use Agrimony
Three core ritual applications for working with bulk agrimony herb.
- Uncrossing Ritual Bath
Brew a strong tea from 3 tablespoons agrimony in 3 cups boiling water, steep 20 minutes, then strain carefully. Add the liquid to your bathwater and soak 15 minutes. Air dry and discard bathwater away from your property afterward.
- Return-to-Sender Candle Rite
Dress a black reversing candle with uncrossing oil and set it on a heat-safe plate. Sprinkle agrimony cut around the base, naming the crossed condition aloud. Burn safely and carry cooled remnants away from your home when finished.
- Dream Protection Pillow Sachet
Combine a tablespoon of dried agrimony cut with a tablespoon of lavender in a small cloth sachet. Sew or tie it closed and tuck under your pillow. This European sleep protection charm guards against nightmares, refreshed each month.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
Agrimony is one of the herbs I prioritize stocking in bulk because reversal and uncrossing work is rarely a one-time event. A thorough practice involves repeat baths, ongoing floor wash routines, and sustained candle work, all of which consume the herb steadily. I source this cut-and-sifted form for easy use across all formats without extra grinding. For the candles that pair with agrimony in reversal and uncrossing rites, see my charged ritual candles.
