The Spiritual Significance

Feverfew is a small, daisy-flowered plant whose magic is single-minded and steady: protection. Cunningham seats Tanacetum parthenium under Venus and the element Water and names protection as its power, and folk practice put that to a very practical use, carrying feverfew to guard against illness and chill and, above all, to ward off accidents while traveling. It is the herb tucked into a bag before a journey for safe passage.

That protective, sheltering nature makes feverfew a quiet but dependable guardian in charm work, carried on the person or kept in a travel and protection sachet. Feverfew is also famous in physical herbalism, especially for headaches, which is not what we offer it for; Plentiful Earth sells this herb strictly for ritual and spiritual use, not as a remedy, and it is not for ingestion.
