Calendula — also called Marigold — has been a cornerstone of the witch's apothecary for centuries. Valued for its culinary, medicinal, and magickal versatility, it's one of those witchcraft herbs that earns its place on every herb shelf, from the most seasoned practitioner to the beginner witch just building their collection.
Use it in ritual blends, incense, lotions, ointments, and soap — or as a saffron substitute in cooking. Traditionally, wreaths of marigolds hung over a doorway to keep evil at bay. A birth flower for October, calendula is especially beloved for Samhain and ancestral workings.
