The Spiritual Significance

Motherwort's magic is written in its name. Leonurus cardiaca means lion's heart, and the herb has long stood for courage, confidence, and a steady, protective strength, the nerve to face hard things without flinching. Its common name carries the other half of its character: motherwort is the mother's herb, kept to protect mothers and children, guard the home, and watch over those in one's care.

It is a Venus and Water herb, which gives its protection a warm, tender edge rather than a fierce one. Where some guardian plants bristle, motherwort steadies. Folk practice worked it to turn aside ill-wishing and negative magic, to settle and shield a household, and to lend confidence to anyone carrying a heavy responsibility. Carried, sewn into a sachet, or kept in the home, motherwort offers the lion-hearted protection of a guardian who loves what she guards, courage and tenderness in a single green.
