Aloe - Dried

Ancient Egyptians revered it so highly that they used it in burial rituals to shield the soul. Families would hang aloe around the home to ward off negative energies—a practice you might adopt by placing aloe near your front door as a sentinel.

Aloe vera is widely valued in modern occult practices for its healing, protective, and purifying qualities. In Wiccan and Neo-Pagan traditions, its alignment with water and earth makes it ideal for grounding and emotional healing, helping create a calm, stabilizing environment.

Adding a bit of aloe to your bath can cleanse both physical and energetic impurities, especially during the full or new moon, when aloe’s lunar energy supports intentions for renewal or release. Imagine soaking in a warm bath with aloe, letting go of emotional blocks or old wounds.

In Hoodoo and rootwork, aloe is often placed near doorways to ward off negative energies. In Mexican and Latin American folk magic, it’s essential in limpias (spiritual cleansings) to repel the evil eye and protect homes.

Aloe is also a powerful magnet for luck and prosperity. Many keep it in their homes or workspaces, believing it encourages focus and abundance.
