Angelica Root Cut, 1 Lb (Angelica archangelica)

Angelica is the archangel's root. The pale, sweet-scented root of Angelica archangelica, named for the angel Michael who was said to reveal it, is one of the most powerful protective and exorcising herbs in the Western tradition, worked to ward, banish evil, and call angelic guardianship over a person or a home. This cut root carries a high, bright, sheltering power.

A note on use. Angelica root is a medicinal herb and can increase sensitivity to sunlight; that is not what we offer it for. We sell it for ritual use only, not as a remedy, and it is not for ingestion.

This working pound is the bulk size for ongoing protection, banishing, and blessing work and for stocking a busy practice; the 1 oz size suits a single charm. Reach for angelica when you want strong, high protection.

The Spiritual Significance

Angelica takes its name from the angels, and tradition holds that the archangel Michael revealed it as a guard against evil and plague, which set its character for good: it is one of the strongest protective and exorcising roots in Western practice. Angelica is worked to ward a person and a home under a high, angelic guardianship, to banish evil and harmful spirits, and to break the grip of negative influences, and its bright, sweet nature also makes it a blessing and purifying herb that lifts and consecrates a space. In Hoodoo it is prized as a protective root for women and the home, sometimes called Holy Ghost root.

Where fierce banishers attack, angelica shelters, calling protection down from above rather than driving harm out from below. It is high, bright, and guarding. Angelica is also a medicinal herb and can heighten sensitivity to sunlight; that is not what we offer it for, and Plentiful Earth sells it strictly for ritual and spiritual use, not as a remedy, and it is not for ingestion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is angelica root used for in magic?

For powerful protection under angelic guardianship, for banishing and exorcism of evil and harmful spirits, and for blessing and purifying a space. It is one of the strongest protective roots in Western practice, tied to the archangel Michael.

Can I take angelica internally?

No. Angelica is a medicinal herb and can increase sensitivity to sunlight, but that is not what we sell it for. Plentiful Earth offers it strictly for ritual and spiritual use, not as a remedy, and it is not for ingestion.

How do I use it for protection?

Add angelica root to a protection charm or home-protection bottle, naming the high, sheltering guardianship you are calling in. Its angelic associations make it a herb of protection drawn down from above rather than forced out.

Why is it tied to angels?

Tradition holds that the archangel Michael revealed angelica as a guard against evil and plague, giving the plant its name and its reputation as an angelic protective root. That heritage underlies its warding, exorcising, and blessing uses.

How should I store it?

Keep the cut root sealed in a cool, dark place, away from heat and moisture. Dried angelica holds its sweet scent well when kept dry, so a sealed jar will carry you through many protection and blessing workings.
