There’s no mistaking cloves (Syzygium aromaticum<\/em>) in the spice aisle. Nothing else looks quite like these distinctive woody brown buds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, you might even smell them before you see them — their warm, spicy scent is hard to miss. While they’re no longer worth their weight in gold as they were at the height of the spice trade, cloves are still highly valued by practitioners of witchcraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magical Properties of Cloves<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These spicy buds are potent magical catalysts. Like many hot herbs, they provide a punch of power and speed. However, unlike some other hot herbs, cloves aren’t usually used for banishing or baneful magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magically, these buds attract luck, prosperity, love, and friendship. Infuse them in wine or cider, and they make an aphrodisiac. Placed in sachets and shared among friends, they keep friendships strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloves are also protective, and eating them is said to increase courage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some traditions, cloves are used as commanding herbs. They may be included in spells where it’s necessary to assert your will. This makes them helpful for stopping gossip or slander about you — press cloves into a red candle, and burn it to stop malicious gossip in its tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloves are ruled by Jupiter and the element of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
