JUNIPER BERRIES 

Folk Names: Enebro, Gin Berry, Gin Plant

Planet: Sun

Element: Fire

Powers: Protection, Anti-Theft, Love, Exorcism, Health

Magical Uses: Used throughout Europe as a protective herb, juniper also guards against theft. It was probably one of the earliest incenses used by Mediterranean Witches. Juniper hung at the door protects against evil forces and persons, and it is burned in exorcism rites. A sprig the plant protects its wearer against accident and attacks by wild animals. It also guards against ghosts and sickness. Juniper is added to love mixtures, and the berries are carried to increase male potency. When carried or burned, juniper helps the psychic powers and breaks hexes and curses, and drives off snakes.

The herb comes in a grip seal packet for freshness and contains approximately four tablespoons of herb.
