Witchcraft Exercise - Creating Correspondences
Tumblr media
There are dozens of plant species in the arsenal of the green witch. Commonly-used varieties and usage varies somewhat between traditions, but most of us are fairly familiar with industry standards like basil, bay, rosemary, sage, and so on.
But what do you do when faced with a plant that has no listed magical correspondences anywhere that you can find in your witchcraft library? Simple - you create some.
Allow me to demonstrate with a little plant I found in my own backyard. It's a common weed called Virginia copperleaf (Acalypha virginica). But despite it's widespread range and abundant growth as a field weed, there are surprisingly few references to the plant in regional folk medicine and none at all that I could find in contemporary witchcraft.
So in order to incorporate this hardy little weed into my practice, I set about creating some correspondences for it.
First, I researched the physical properties of the plant. It is a small annual spurge with long taproots, a resistance to drought and many herbicides, and a reputation for fast growth and being difficult to eradicate from fields due to prolific seeding. The leaves turn coppery-red in the fall and small spiky flowers bloom among the foliage. It is also mildly poisonous. The juice of the plant may cause contact dermatitis or a mild rash in some people and if ingested, it may cause GI symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.
Next, I researched references to the plant in folk medicine. I could only find a single reference that cited copperleaf as a possible diuretic and expectorant. That does track with the previous mention of GI symptoms, but it doesn't mean the plant is safe to use. I did discover that an alternate name for the plant is three-seeded mercury or mercury weed, likely because of its' tendency for fast growth and the fact that it is propagated by the wind.
So now comes the business of creating the correspondences, using the physical properties of the plant as a basis.
The first and most obvious association is strength. Any weed that is resistant to drought and herbicide and uprooting is bound to be useful for spells involving tenacity and fortitude. Prosperity is also a likely use, both because of the name copperleaf and the way in which the plant grows and spreads quickly. Because of the alternate name mercury weed and the wind propagation, it could be used for wind magic or communication spells. (I often associate the element of air with communication and the name of a messenger god is right there as well, but your mileage may vary.)
The plant could also be used as an ingredient for baneful magic, either to bind and frustrate someone's efforts by consuming available ground where their ambitions might grow, or in its' capacity as a mild poison, to cause physical discomfort and stomach trouble.
So in the end, I have a handful of copperleaf and a listing in my witchbook that details the properties of the plant and notes that it could be useful for spells involving strength, tenacity, prosperity, wind, or communication, as well as possible baneful uses including binding, discomfort, and sickness.
This is my system for assigning correspondences to previously-unknown plants, and I encourage readers to use it as a template for their own practices or to create their own system. Either way, I recommend the use of a field guide or plant identification app like PlantNet to properly identify plants as you find them. Remember to forage and harvest responsibly, be a good steward of the land around you, and always label your plant cuttings.
Happy Witching! πŸ’šπŸŒΏ

Sweet basil
🌿 Ocimum basilicum
🌿 Great basil, Genovese basil, l'herbe royale, little-love, kiss-me-Nicholas, albahaca, St Joseph's wort, witches herb, njilika, balanoi, feslien, arjaka, American dittany, holy basil, the devil's plant, Tulsi, our herb, luole, garden basil, herb of kings, busuioc, feslien
🌿 General info. In the mint family, basil is native to tropical regions from central Africa to SE Asia. Most basil are cultivars of sweet basil, some of which are purple. πŸ’œ. Basil is sensitive to cold and enjoys full sunβ˜€οΈ and well drained soil. Pinch off flowers so the stem doesn't get woody and it keeps growing leaves.
Basil leaves and flowers are used in food like pesto. Seeds of some varieties get gelatinous and are used in drinks and deserts in parts of Asia. It's used as folk medicine in the Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine. Basil can also be an insect repellent and insecticide.
Ancient Egyptians and Greeks believed basil would open the gates to the underworld for a person passing on. Jewish lore suggests it helps with fasting. In Portugal dwarf bush basil is given in a pot with a poem and paper carnation to a sweetheart πŸ’‹ on religious holidays of John the Baptist, and St Anthony of Padua. The Greek Orthodox Church uses it to sprinkle holy water.
Basil is associated with basilisks and πŸ¦‚ scorpions. Basil was seen as an antidote to basilisk venom. In Crete putting basil on someone's window sill curses them. In Italy unmarried women would wear basil in their girdle married women wear it on their head. A man would leave a sprig of basil on the window sill of he loves because giving it directly to her would be disrespectful. Italians may give a pot of basil to a loved one. In Romania and Moldavia if a man accepts a sprig of basil from a woman he'll fall in love. β™₯️
🌿 symbolism. LoveπŸ’•, friendship, masculine, Mars/Jupiter fire, exorcism, wealth πŸ€‘, flying, protection, self-love, abundance, best wishes, hatred, romance, sacred, accidents, aggression, anger, carnal desires,
🌿 Deities. Aphrodite, Venus, Ishtar, Astarte, Set, Freyja, . Do you associate basil with anyone?
🌿 How do you work with basil?
