Hops Flower 6g

Hops (Humulus lupulus) is widely known for its use in brewing, but its magical properties extend far beyond that. This potent herb is celebrated for its calming and protective energies, while also having darker, baneful uses in magic. Hops is ideal for promoting relaxation, aiding in sleep, and assisting in emotional healing. However, it can also be employed in baneful workings for creating confusion or inducing lethargy in a target. Governed by Mars and aligned with the element of Water, hops is versatile in both protective and offensive magic.

Magical Properties:

• Relaxation & Sleep: Known for its soothing properties, hops is used in sleep pillows, sachets, and incense to promote restful sleep and relieve anxiety.
• Healing & Peace: Its calming nature also makes hops a valuable addition to healing spells and rituals focused on emotional recovery.
• Protection: Hops flowers can be used in protection rituals to safeguard the dream realm and protect against nightmares.
• Baneful Magic: In darker workings, hops may be used to induce confusion, laziness, or emotional lethargy in a target, making them feel mentally or physically drained.

Astrological & Elemental Correspondences:

• Planetary Ruler: Mars (governs both aggression and protection)
• Element: Water (connected to emotions and intuition)
• Polarity: Masculine (Electric/Active)
• Deity Associations: Mars, the Roman god of war and protection
