Elder flower is a sacred herb steeped in folklore and revered across many traditions for its powerful magickal properties. Ruled by the element of air and the planet Venus, it holds strong associations with healing, protection, and the mystical realms—especially fae and spirit energies.
Magickal Uses:
Healing & Renewal: Elder flower is a gentle yet potent healer. Use in teas, spell sachets, or bath rituals to promote emotional, spiritual, and physical healing. It’s especially helpful in spells for recovery, grief, and letting go.
Protection: Long considered a guardian plant, elder flower can be used to ward off negativity, ill will, and unwanted spirits. Hang dried elder above doorways or windows, or carry in a charm bag for energetic shielding.
Fairy Magick & Spirit Work: Elder is one of the key herbs used to open the veil between worlds. Use in offerings to the fae, or burn in incense blends during spirit communication, ancestral rituals, or dreamwork.
Transition & Release: A beautiful herb to work with during times of change—whether a physical move, emotional shift, or spiritual awakening. It supports the release of old energies and gently ushers in new beginnings.
Ways to Use:
Add to healing baths or sleep sachets for comfort and restoration
Use in protection charms or house blessings
Burn with mugwort or vervain to enhance psychic ability and spiritual awareness
Offer to the fae during midsummer or solstice rites
Use in rituals of grief, endings, or spiritual transition
Elder flower is often seen as the gentle hand of the Crone—wise, loving, and fiercely protective. It teaches us that from every ending, something beautiful can bloom again.
