Oregano

Oregano (Origanum vulgare) – The Joy of the Mountains

Robust, aromatic, and full of life, Oregano is a botanical of deep-seated happiness and spirited protection. Ruled by the planet Venus and the element of Air, its energy is uplifting and resilient. It is historically used by practitioners to "brighten" a heavy atmosphere and to ensure that joy remains a permanent resident in the home.

In magickal tradition, Oregano is the "anchor of the heart." It is used to deepen feelings of love and to protect a household from external interference or "sour" energy. Because of its hardy nature, it is also a premier herb for those seeking to "toughen up" their spiritual boundaries without losing their sense of warmth and playfulness.
