The Spiritual Significance

Cunningham lists this plant as witch grass, or dog grass, Agropyron repens, and seats it under Venus with a surprisingly bright, buoyant set of powers. Its first gift is happiness: witches grass is worked to lift low spirits and dispel a heavy, gloomy mood, calling lightness back into a person or a home. Its second is love, and specifically the drawing of a new love, which made it a classic herb for someone ready to open their heart again after heartbreak or loss. Aim that love work at welcoming the right new person rather than at any specific unwilling one.

Its third power turns the other way: witches grass breaks hexes and crossings, clears unwanted energies and presences, and sweeps away ill luck, making it a herb of fresh starts in every sense. It is buoyant, clearing, and hopeful. Witches grass, also sold as dog grass or couch grass, is a traditional medicinal herb as well, which is not what we offer it for; Plentiful Earth sells this cut grass strictly for ritual and spiritual use, not as a remedy, and it is not for ingestion.
