Hi fellow herb lovers, and welcome to Wicca Now. We’ve been talking a lot about herbs recently, and I want to continue on that track. While we’ve covered herbs for protection, money herbs, and herbs for self-love, we haven’t gotten into herbs for love spells yet! I feel like I would be remiss if I didn’t talk about this as who doesn’t perform a love spell once in a while?
If you are interested in the herbal realm, maybe you’re a blossoming green witch, then check out these posts on herbs for love, herbs for luck, lavender, cinnamon, and rosemary.
Our easy guide below outlines what are, in my opinion, the best herbs for love spells. As with most herbs, all of these have other magical and medicinal properties besides being great for love. Peruse at your pleasure.
