Calendula Magick: Solar Energy, Joy & Psychic Protection

Bright, golden, and always turning toward the sun, calendula (also known as marigold) is a flower of joy, resilience, and light.

In folk magic and witchcraft, calendula is used for protection, solar energy, beauty, and enhancing psychic awareness. Associated with the sun and fire, it’s often added to spells that need vitality, warmth, and truth.

It’s also a favorite in rituals of celebration, divination, and spiritual self-care.
