Rue Magick: Protection, Banishing & Spiritual Strength

Rue is not a gentle herb. It doesn’t ask for permission—it clears, cuts, and shields.

Used for centuries in Mediterranean and South American traditions, rue is known as one of the strongest protective herbs in witchcraft and folk magic. It banishes negativity, breaks hexes, and creates spiritual boundaries. When you feel something heavy clinging to you—rue steps in.

This is the herb you use when you need spiritual armor.
