White Sage and Ruda Rue 4"

Rue was also commonly placed on the forehead to cure headaches. Rue can be added to incense, spells, and poppets during healing rituals to increase the potency of the magic. Known as the Queen of Herbs, rue is native to the Mediterranean where it has been used in rituals and spells since antiquity. Because of its generally perceived protective nature, rue was also used in a number of healing rituals. The genus name Ruta comes from the Greek word reuo, which means to set free, a nod to its ability to set one free from disease. True to form, rue has many healing abilities.
