Witches Grass in Hoodoo and Traditional Witchcraft: Hex Removal and Exorcism
Agropyron repens, widely known as couch grass, dog grass, quack grass, or witches grass, is one of the most tenacious plants in the temperate world. It spreads through rhizomes underground, making it nearly impossible to eradicate once established, and this relentless, unstoppable nature is precisely what makes it so valued in traditions concerned with removing curses, breaking hexes, and clearing malevolent energy. The plant doesn’t just resist, it overwhelms, and that quality is what practitioners channel in exorcism and unhexing work.
In hoodoo and American folk magic, witches grass is a primary ingredient in unhexing preparations. It appears in floor washes designed to clear a home after a suspected crossing or jinx, in ritual baths taken after contact with an adversary, and in exorcism sachets. The Jupiter planetary correspondence reinforces its expansive, overcoming nature: Jupiter sweeps obstacles aside and restores order, which is exactly what a serious uncrossing working demands. Some practitioners braid dried witches grass and hang it in doorways as a continuous protective ward against incoming spiritual interference.
Bulk Supply for Active Practitioners
This 1lb quantity is designed for practitioners who use witches grass regularly rather than occasionally. Floor washes and ritual baths require meaningful quantities of the herb, and buying in bulk ensures you always have a ready supply without frequent reordering. A single thorough floor wash for a medium-sized space might use two to four ounces of the dried herb. Running a series of uncrossing baths over a nine-day period, a common hoodoo practice, similarly demands a substantial quantity. The 1lb size supports serious, sustained ritual work without the inconvenience of running short mid-working.
Beyond unhexing, witches grass also carries folk correspondences for love drawing and happiness, making it a versatile ingredient in any well-stocked apothecary. In Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, it is listed under love, lust, happiness, and exorcism. The 1lb bulk supply gives practitioners the flexibility to work with it across multiple spell types simultaneously.

How to Use Witches Grass Herb
Three primary ritual applications for bulk witches grass in unhexing, protection, and exorcism work.
- Uncrossing Floor Wash
Steep four ounces of dried witches grass in boiling water for twenty minutes. Strain, cool, then add a splash of ammonia and a few drops of Van Van oil. Wash floors from back to front, driving out crossed conditions and restoring clear energy.
- Nine-Day Unhexing Bath Series
Steep two tablespoons of dried witches grass per bath in hot water for fifteen minutes. Strain into your bathwater and soak for fifteen minutes. Repeat for nine consecutive days, bathing downward and allowing yourself to air dry.
- Exorcism Sachet for Doorway Protection
Combine dried witches grass with hyssop, agrimony, and a pinch of black salt in a small muslin bag. Hang the sachet above your main entrance to create a continuous protective barrier against incoming hexes and negative spiritual interference.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry witches grass in both 2oz and 1lb sizes because serious unhexing work demands quantity. A single floor wash or one bath barely scratches the surface of what sustained clearing work requires. The 1lb bulk pack is for practitioners who maintain a real apothecary and work regularly, not just occasionally. It’s cut herb, not powder, so it steeps and strains cleanly without leaving a gummy residue. If you’re building a full uncrossing and protection protocol, visit my complete herb collection for everything from hyssop to agrimony to black cohosh.
