Liquorice

Liquorice Herb (Glycyrrhiza glabra) – The Commander’s Sweetener

Deeply aromatic, woody, and persistent, Liquorice is a botanical of control and compelling influence. Ruled by the planet Venus (for its sweetness) and Mercury (for its communication), its energy is used to "bend" a situation to one's will. It is historically a favourite for practitioners who need to gain the upper hand in negotiations or to ensure their voice is being heard.

In magickal tradition, Liquorice is the ultimate "commanding" herb. It is used to "sweeten" a person toward you while simultaneously giving you the power to direct the outcome. It is a root of passion and persuasion, making it a powerful ally for those seeking to enhance their personal authority or to bring a wandering mind back to a specific focus.
