The green witch is a naturalist, an herbalist, a wise woman, and a healer. She embraces the power of nature; she draws energy from the Earth and the Universe; she relies on natural objects like stones and gems to commune with the land she lives off of; she uses plants, flowers, oils, and herbs for healing; she calls on nature for guidance, and she respects every living being no matter how small.

I could not see what you posted, thus I posted one of my own!
Juniper, our ancient guardian of the border. Among our ancestors, juniper was a highly valued plant. They would tip their hats to it as they passed, much like they do to elderberry bushes. It was believed that the ancestors lived on in the juniper.
In paganism, juniper was thought to mark the entrance to the underworld. The ancient Germanic tribes also used juniper wood to cremate their dead. It was even said to possess the power to see into the future.
Coltsfoot – The Best Home Remedy for Lung Ailments
The bright yellow, daisy-like flowers of coltsfoot, which appear before the leaves and are among the first signs of spring, are considered the best remedy for irritated bronchi and coughs. A tea made from the leaves and flowers has an expectorant and soothing effect.
Candles have also being used for these purposes!
Very interesting, Eva, thanks for the post!
In earlier times, people who had been summoned by a negative spell were fumigated with nine different types of wood. These fumigations were also known in some places as "emergency fires."
But houses and farms were also protected with nine different types of wood. For this purpose, the sticks were stuck into the ground around the farmyard. The sticks were also hung in the animal stalls to keep the witch Trude out.
The wood used was from cherry, plum, pear, apple, fir, pine, birch, linden, and willow. The tree species names could not end in "-baum" (tree).
Have a magical evening!
Sometimes, very rarely, nature surprises us with a white cornflower blossom amidst the blue. If we encounter such a white cornflower, we should cherish it. For it was considered a messenger of inner wealth and deep gratitude. Our ancestors already knew its hidden power. They used the smoke of the cornflower as a subtle shield against enchantment and curses. When the blossoms smolder on charcoal, a soothing, gentle fragrance unfolds. It is a plant that connects heaven and earth.
Have a magical evening!
So beautiful, thanks!
Rosemary is one of the oldest incense plants. It was often used as a substitute for frankincense. In earlier times, rosemary was a staple at every funeral. This beautiful plant spirit is the "pagan" counterpart to the boxwood of the Christians. Burning rosemary as incense is entirely about farewell and mourning. Its essence guides us through the labyrinth of grief and loss. Its smoke contains powerful cleansing energies. Therefore, rosemary is also suitable for cleansing houses with incense. In the past, sickrooms were cleansed with rosemary and juniper to promote faster recovery.
Have a magical evening
