Ginger is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant that, historically, is widely used as a spice and folk medicine. The ancient Chinese believed ginger to have natural cleansing and purifying properties. Ginger can be used in many different types of ritual and spell work. Whole ginger roots can be planted around the home to attract prosperity and abundance. Alternatively, powdering the root and sprinkling it into your pockets or onto money, can have the same effect. Eating ginger before spell or ritual work can aid in increasing power, especially in love spells. Ginger has long been found to invoke feelings of lust, love, and sexuality so it makes a great addition into those workings. Due to ginger's fiery smell, it can act as magical rocket fuel for spell work, so make sure to add it to mojo bags, charms or spells you may want to amplify. The fiery scent can also be a great addition to use in the home as a powerful protection; by either diffusing the oil, boiling the ginger in a simmer pot or placing it in the four corners of the home. Use the essential oil for spells involving magical strength and courage, as well as for stimulating creativity. Adding the essential oil to a signature blend can be used to aid in astral travel as well.
