Aconitum napellus

Also called Wolfsbane, monkshood, blue rocket

History and Folklore

Aconite was once used to poison arrows and as a cure for lycanthropy.

Magical and Spiritual Considerations

Aconite has feminine energy and is aligned with the planet Saturn and the water element.
It is used in spells related to protection and invisibility. An infusion of aconite can be sprinkled on ritual items during rituals to charge them with protective energy and the roots and leaves can be burned in a ritual fire or as smudge for the same purpose. Use caution not to ingest or inhale the fumes!

Aconite is associated with Hecate and Medea.

Cautionary Notes

Aconite is poisonous and should not be ingested, nor should the fumes be inhaled.
